About this listen
My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together.
Sounds reasonable, right?
And it would be.
If it weren’t my mother.
My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he’s openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by having sex in my childhood bed.
And by intrigued, I mean a series of really hot suggestions that make me whimper when I have to say no.
Wait - why am I saying no, again?
Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly-button lint and use…a certain kind of hair…to make thatched roofs on little decorative elf homes?
Those people are saner than my mother.
There is no force of nature stronger - or more emotionally volatile - than a 50-something grandmother determined to create holiday memories.
Wait a minute. Maybe there is.
My husband.

Story
Ever meet a hot billionaire while your hand's in a toilet in the men's room of one of his stores? No? So it really is just me. Hmm. When you're a mystery shopper, you get paid to humiliate yourself, all in the name of improving customer service. Romance isn't in my job description. But the day I met Declan McCormick it was love at first flush. Until I nearly castrated him with my EpiPen. How Hot Guy and Toilet Girl became an item involves my crazy mom, a trip to the ER, my homicidal cat, my fake wife, and true love.

Story
Rex “TW” McMurtry’s perpetual singlehood wouldn’t bother him so much if all his ex-girlfriends didn’t keep marrying the very next person they dated, especially when so many of those grooms are his closest friends. He may be a pro-football defensive end for the Chicago Squalls, but the press only wants to talk about how he’s always a groomsman and never a groom. Bartender Abigail McNerny is the gal-pal, the wing-woman, the she-BFF. Abby is convinced no one on earth could ever entice her into a romantic relationship...except that one guy she’s loved since preschool.

Story
I’m stuck in New York after ma agent makes a bloody mess of an otherwise good endorsement contract for a sports towel company, and this crazy American holiday - Thanksgiving - is in two days. The invitation to spend it in Mendon, Massachusetts with the Jacoby family is about as appealing as rotten haggis. As far as I can tell, Thanksgiving is about stuffing yerself silly, watching pathetic American “football”, while fighting with relatives ye only see once a year. Ma firm answer is nae. Until I remember Amy is part of the family. Suddenly, I’m available. Eager, even.

Kell Luview refuses to be a sucker at love again. Five years ago, he left DC with his tail between his legs and his heart broken. Fiercely protective of his small town in rural Maine, he's determined to save the family tree business and avoid his feelings at all costs. LA native Rachel Hart hates being underestimated almost as much as she hates this small town. She has two goals on this trip: get out of the cheesy tourist trap of Love You, Maine, with a business deal, and avoid running into Kell, her old friend from DC who never became an old flame because of a huge misunderstanding.

Story
He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

And the craziness continues
This poor family! I say it with laughter because of it's going to happen, it will to the Jacoby-McCormick mashup and all their family, friends, and minor aquaintenances. Take a handful of loosely related and over the top possibilities, drop them in a blender with 2 or 3 highly unlikely shenanigans, and turn that puppy on without the lid. And that is what you get in this Novella.
Tanya Eby narrates this fantastic mess (and I say that fondly) with the kind of humor, exasperation, and enthusiasm that you can feel deep down inside.
It was a joy to read the book and listen to the audio.

Wish the last two were on audible too!
So I want to know the last two stories, but I have to get the kindle or paper copies to know the rest. Bummer! Am I too spoiled? Yes, probably. I will always wonder about things if I don't finish the series though. Guess that is my next step. *sigh* I really do like this series. Even with some of the annoying issues with stopping an starting in weird places. I do recommend this series. Great performances and fun characters. I still have so many questions though. The siblings? Hamish? Will James ever grow up... you know, finishing pieces. That's all.

chapters out of order
Loved the story as usual, but got very confused in the audio book when there seemed to have been a big chunk missing in the story. Then that chapter turned up at the very end. while it certainly filled in some major events that happened, it was a little frustrating to not have the true flow!! But still lots of laughs!

Cute, funny story
I have really enjoyed Declan and Shannon’s journey. I have laughed out loud at the antics and banter of these two with each other and their respective families. The only thing I can say is that I wish Andrew and Amanda didn’t make an appearance in the book. I find them bOth to be annoying but especially Andrew.

Really Don't Like Marie
This book in the series did nothing for me. I really don't like Shannon's mother and there was way too much of her in this tale.
Declan's character didn't have a POV in this one. I missed them going back and forth between his and her POV's.
One thing that really bothered me, and it is probably just me, was that Marie forced herself into Shannon and Declan's first Christmas with THEIR first child. Seems kind of selfish to me. They could have planned to come later in the day, spend Christmas Eve together, or even come the next day. Shannon spends too much time giving in to her pushy mother, and it is really off putting.
I did like the narration, the beginning and the ending.

Disappointing
This felt more like a chapter out of the middle of a book rather than a stand alone special edition. This holiday edition can't be super fun and charming but this one seemed like she must've written it on the plane right before a meeting as quickly as she could. No real story running through out. Lacking almost all of the wonderful smart sense of humor of her other stories and books.

It’s too much.
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but like DeClan, I found it to be too much. While I guess people could go through that much in a two day period, it’s time to give DeClan and Shannon a break and let them enjoy themselves a little.
