“I listened to this audiobook & really enjoyed it. It is written really well. I liked how Brooke introduced us to Karen to give us an understanding of her personality which then led nicely into us understanding her taking a risk regarding an office party romance. It's a good reminder that sometimes things happen when we least expect it. The audiobook was well narrated: a gentle tone with good expression. A great little read and listen.” (5-star Amazon Review)

“A beautifully well-written story with excellent narration. I adored Karen's story a great deal. It was absolutely perfect for relaxing after a hard day! Take a quick break from real life with this refreshing and cute love story." (5-star Audible Review)

"Karen isn't looking for love. But love, it seems, is looking for her. Karen's New Year is a cute short story about a woman who suddenly finds herself right in the middle of a potential romance when she least expects it. The narration is calm and gentle, much like the story itself, and I really enjoyed listening to this one, letting the memorable weekend in Karen's life play out in my ears. With around 28 minutes of playtime, this one is perfect for a quick workout session, lunch-break listen, commute or background entertainment while getting some tasks done. It is a sweet, reflective story, focusing on Karen's thoughts and feelings as she goes from her usual steady routine to an exciting and very close encounter she never anticipated. I really enjoyed both the story and the narration, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys light-hearted romance, mature female main characters, tender self-reflection and "love finds a way" stories."
