 Clark Creek is a small town in a lot of financial trouble.  The mayor hires Mary, a consultant to come in devise a plan to bring in tourists for the Christmas season.  Mary designs a spectacular Christmas parade that will be a tourist destination.   Her only problem is the Sheriff, Evan, who is a Scrooge about Christmas and is not on board with her ideas.  He is afraid it will bankrupt the town.  Will Mary be able to make the Christmas parade a success and help out Clark Creek?  Will Evan and Mary learn how to get along?

 I loved this nice clean read.  If you are a fan of Hallmark movies, this is the perfect audiobook for you.  I listened to it the week before Christmas, and it really put me in the mood for the holiday.  I loved the romance as it was an enemies to lovers trope.  It doesn’t take Evan long to warm up to Mary and her efficient planning of the parade.  I loved the characters and the small town and would love to visit it myself.  Amanda Stribling was a good narrator of the audiobook.

 Overall, if you love Hallmark movies and wish you could read them in a book version, this is the perfect book for you.
