Three Nights Before Christmas: A steamy Christmas romance

Written by Kat Latham

Narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden

Have yourself a steamy little Christmas…

After three years in prison, freight train engineer Lacey Gallagher doesn’t expect this Christmas to be very merry and bright. At least chopping down trees for her brother’s Christmas tree farm will help her save money to get her life back on track. All her plans derail, though, when her new job puts her in territory patrolled by the man who haunts her dreams—the forest ranger who sent her to prison.

Austin Wilder isn’t thrilled about Lacey working in his forest—but he soon realizes he needs her help. His family is depending on him to restore an old steam train for a spectacular Christmas event, and train expert Lacey is his only hope of finishing in time.

Working together challenges every assumption Lacey and Austin have about each other, and they discover a desire hot enough to melt even the deepest Montana snow. But will the season of second chances be enough to mend the most hardened broken heart?

Reviews for Three Nights Before Christmas

[Jenn Hasted · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Kat Latham is a new to me author and I am officially hooked! Three Nights Before Christmas is a steamy holiday romance that I listened to in one sitting. I picked this audiobook up because of the narrators. One of my favourite things about listening to a story through audiobook is finding new talented authors through my favourite narrators. I’m excited to check out more of Latham’s work in her Wild Montana Nights series.

Vanessa Edwin and Joe Arden did an amazing job with the narration. Vanessa showcased Lacey’s vulnerable, humorous and sweet side and Joe voicing Austin was fantastic as well. I can never get enough of his swoony, husky tone. I love how easily the two together brought this story to life with their animated, passionate storytelling.

Lacey has just completed a 3 year prison term after being busted for drug possession and the officer to send her there was none other than Austin. Before getting caught up in a drug scheme that her ex boyfriend put her through she was a successful train engineer. She is hardworking, embodies strength and has a big heart.

I adored Austin right from the start. The hate to love vibes were strong right from the moment he sets his eyes on Lacey again and the intense chemistry between them is evident right away. I really enjoy the progression of their relationship. From enemies, to friends, to lovers and everything in between. The the emotion Austin experiences as he realizes the true woman Lacey is after letting her down and making horrible misjudgements about her three years previous had an emotional impact.

The journey to Austin and Lacey’s HEA was heartwarming and beautiful. If you like holiday stories, set in a small town with all the feels this is the book to pick up!
