Last Stop on the Winter Wonderland Express by Rebecca Raisin

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

Last Stop on the Winter Wonderland Express by Rebecca Raisin is a wonderful, enjoyable, cozy story of finding friendship and love while traveling abroad. This was the perfect book for an escape, full of love, second chances, great destinations and quirky people you will fall in love with.

 

After Aubrey is jilted on her wedding day, a few days before Christmas, her longed for luxury honeymoon must be dealt with. Feeling confused and heart-broken, she decides to take the ten day romantic train ride alone. She does not want anyone there to know she has been jilted, so she implies her ‘husband’ is gone; and the sympathy flows from those around her. She quickly discovers she is not the only one alone as there are a number of single people on the trip. This group of sad lonely hearts bond and draw close. They pitch the name of their group as The Unlucky in Love Travel Club. The book follows each of their stops on the train journey and it’s hard to not be jealous of this trip; a trip with stops in Paris, Stockholm and ending in Lapland staying in an igloo gazing up at the Northern Lights.

 

What follows is an interesting exploration of how people deal with grief, heartbreak and disappointment. Plus wonderful friendships are made in their moments of need. I loved the antics that a Princess, a wealthy widow, brought to the group; as they visited, explored, and played tourists at each of the stops. This journey also brings love into the lives of some members of The Unlucky in Love group; including Audrey. A certain travel journalist named Jasper is full of surprises and their friendship blossoms into something more but it is a slow dance with romance for these two.


This fun, moving, uplifting story contains wonderful resolutions, about choosing joy after disappointment, finding friendship in strangers, and letting someone in, even when your heart feels broken beyond repair.
It teaches that although your life may not go as planned and you could end up on a different path than expected, the detour could lead to glorious surprises, endearing friendships and unexpected soul-mate love. As Audrey finds out, everything happens for a reason. I truly enjoyed this unforgettable ride, with well described settings; transporting me to each location on route.

  If You Love Me Narrator Narrated by Stephen Dexter & Stella Bloom Two nights with her ruined me for all other women, but I never got the chance to make her mine. I’m the pinnacle of control. I protect the net, my team, and my daughter. It’s my final season and I can’t afford any distractions. Except our new assistant coach just walked in. And I would know her face anywhere. She’s the one I dream about. That weekend, I was just a man—not the legend, the dad, the mentor. I didn’t care that I was a decade older. For the first time in my life, I was ready to risk everything if it meant having her. Until I woke up to an empty bed and no note.
