A Very Holiday #4
e-ARC and Audible audiobook
Author: Kayley Loring
Narrators: Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor Crais
If you got to this book you probably came because of “A Very Bossy Christmas”. No? Oh, go back and read (or better yet, listen to) it. Go. I’ll wait.
Back? Ahhh, I can see that goofy grin on your face and you are now a #Maclan fan. Told ya!
Well, Maddie and Declan are still very much in love. Declan is still grumpy and Maddie still doesn’t take his crap, and now they have the most precious gift of all: little Ciara.
What happens after an HEA? When you read a romance, you get to the happily ever after and then what? Kayley Loring gives you the “what”. Two people madly in love with each other and even more so with their kid and dealing with all the lack of time, of sleep, and oh FFS , seggsy times! They try, oh boy they try, but the odds seem to never be in their favor.
Declan is still very grumpy, but his biggest reason for that now is his need to be everything he can be for his girls, specially the little one, who seems to be having a hard time understanding that her dad is “the sh!t”. It’s hilarious, but most of all it’s endearing. The hot shot lawyer from Upper East Side needs to woo the little one and it’s not working.
I grinned from page one. Kayley Loring creates characters that you grow to love like they are your real friends. Going back to spend time with Cannevales was a joy and I will alway revisit. There is a special quality in Kayley Loring’s writing that I can’t exactly define, but that makes me LOL and get all gooey. You get all that here. A million stars.
I’ll never look at Elmo the same… 😉
Narration: C’mon, it’s Connor and Mack reprising their roles. PERFECTION!
