Schuld war nur der Mistelzweig 1
Summary
Nein, nicht schnulzig, sondern richtig schön romantisch! Schließlich ist bald Weihnachten... Theas Eltern wollen die ganze Familie zu Weihnachten nach Cornwall einladen, in ein großes Haus am Meer, dabei sind sie eigentlich dabei, sich zu trennen. Thea selbst ist gerade Single geworden, denn ihr Exfreund hat sich gegen ein Kind und für die Welpenzucht entschieden - was für ein Kotzbrocken. Während es draußen wie verrückt schneit, wird drinnen heftig Weihnachten gefeiert. Der riesige Mistelzweig, den Sean, der schwule Verwalter des Hauses, aufhängt, sorgt zusätzlich zu den neuen Partnern der Eltern, die plötzlich auftauchen, für Verwirrung. Sean ist einfach toll, das finden Thea und die Leserin, und vielleicht ist er ja gar nicht schwul? Nicht umsonst werden gerade zu Weihnachten Filme wie "Tatsächlich Liebe" und "Während du schliefst" im Fernsehen wiederholt - genau so wunderbar romantisch ist dieses Hörbuch, mit dem sich frau mit dicken Socken, Tee und Keksen aufs Sofa verziehen kann. Jetzt kann Weihnachten kommen.>> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.

All Inclusive
Summary
Do the friendships you make on holiday have anything to do with real life? It might be sensible to hope that they don’t. For the last few years, Beth and Ned have gone to the same Caribbean island to the same luxury spa hotel. There they meet the same crowd, and take up where they left off last time. Real life, home life, family life, are all safely left behind. Except this year. This year, home problems have somehow tagged along for the ride. Ned has been playing away - shy; a bit of a drunken fling, that’s all, nothing to worry about, Beth thinks. But although they have put it all behind them, what Beth doesn’t know is that Ned’s fling was with the female half of one of the couples they are holidaying with.To make matters worse, Beth has insisted on bringing along their 16-year-old daughter, Delilah, who¹s been ill and needs rest and sunshine. Not so ill, however, that she can’t look around for some entertainment….

Blowing It
Summary
Imagine – you’re in your early 30s, settled and sensible, and wanting to move up the property ladder. Your parents – approaching retirement – have an ENORMOUS house which is, let’s be honest, a bit tatty but worth squillions. Only your teenage sister Sorrel lives there now and she’s just about to go off on a gap year. So obviously there’s some money tied up there which your parents must be thinking of off-loading onto their children? Not a bit of it. The parents have every hope that they will grow old disgracefully. They plan to sell the house and go off travelling. They are, after all, unreconstructed sixties hippies and their main income derives from the songs they wrote back then for their (at the time) cult psychedelic soft rock band Charisma. So with the money from the house their intention is…blowing it!

The Right Thing
Summary
Funerals are strange things. Kitty hadn't really wanted to go to this one - a old school friend she hadn't seen for years - and she hadn't bargained for the way it made her think of the past. In particular, it made her think of the baby she had given birth to when she was eighteen, the baby her parents had insisted she give away for adoption. She'd called her Madeleine, and she remembered her every day, what she was like, if she was happy. But now, reminded of how cruelly short life can be, she had to see her - just to make sure she'd done the right thing.Life had turned out pretty well for Kitty. Secure in her marriage, with her two teenage children and a house within sound and sight of the Cornish surf, she counted herself among the lucky ones. But the hole left by that first baby wasn't getting any smaller, and she decided to make the first, tentative steps towards filling it - although she, and all her family, were quite unprepared for the upheaval which followed.
