Book Description

Alexander, Lord Burlington, hates the holidays.

But duty calls. This year he’s willing to set his feelings aside for the sake of his eldest brother who’s just been left at the altar - sending shockwaves through British high society - as they escape London for the snow capped mountains of Aspen.

However, it soon becomes obvious that Colorado in December wasn’t the best place to go for someone who usually out-grinches The Grinch.

Haven Wylder has spent the last four years paying off debts her parents left when they died. Between working on her ranch, or in her Christmas store and taking on every other job she can, there’s been no time for fun. But if there’s one thing guaranteed to put a smile on her face it’s the holidays and the annual gingerbread decorating competition.

What she wasn’t expecting was the tall, handsome stranger with the accent to die for who, *gasp*, hates Christmas.

It doesn’t take long for Haven to start changing Alex’s mind. It has nothing to do with her berry red lips and glossy caramel curls tumbling down her back, or her big doe eyes as green as the Christmas trees she selling. Or the way she fills out her jeans.

None at all.

Alexander will never not despise Christmas, but a fling with Haven Wylder might be just the thing to make it a little more bearable. That is… if he can leave her and their unforgettable connection behind.

About Lulu Moore

Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She's the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions - the worst team in the M.L.B.

More recently she's ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set - the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.

She's a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You'll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.

My Thoughts

Lulu Moore delivers a fun, festive, and fantastically spicy holiday novella in Once Upon a Christmas Tree, the perfect start to a new series. Narrated with incredible charm by Shane East and CJ Bloom, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone who loves a Hallmark movie with a healthy dose of heat.

Lord Alexander Burlington is a self-proclaimed Grinch, so escaping London for a snowy Christmas in Aspen is the last thing he wants. But when he meets Haven Wylder, a fierce and dedicated Christmas enthusiast who runs a tree farm and bakery, his holiday spirit—and his heart—begin to thaw.

The chemistry between Alex and Haven is instant and electric, and their banter is pure gold. It's a joy to watch their connection deepen as Haven brings her Christmas joy into his life. The story is fast-paced, addictive, and full of cozy holiday vibes.

The narration is an absolute standout. Shane East and CJ Bloom bring the characters to life beautifully, capturing the humor, charm, and emotional depth of the story. They make the banter feel natural and the spicy scenes sizzle, truly elevating the listening experience.

If you're looking for a book that's funny, spicy, and bursting with holiday cheer, Once Upon a Christmas Tree is the perfect choice to pull you out of a reading slump. It's an amazing appetizer for what's to come, and I, for one, can't wait to see what Lulu Moore has in store for the rest of this delightful family.

This novella is a definite 5/5 stars for its perfect blend of heartwarming romance and holiday spice.
