About this listen
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey delivers a sexy, hilarious standalone holiday rom-com about the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert….
Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life…and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.
Beat Dawkins, the lead singer’s son, is Melody’s opposite—the camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader. Still, they might have been best friends if not for the legendary feud that broke up the band. When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it’s nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show.
While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

Very steamy, not very christmassy
Other reviewers are right - this takes place at Christmas, but it’s not really a Christmas book. It is certainly extremely steamy! I didn’t like the male narrator as much as the female one, possibly unnecessary having both. The male narrator was very inconsistent with the character voices, which I found annoying.
The thing I have the most issue with though is the love-bombing - Beat shows a lot of this behaviour and it made me increasingly uncomfortable throughout the novel. It quickly becomes too much too fast, and that is not really acknowledged by any of the characters.

Spicy Hallmark meets rock!
I really enjoyed this book! Yes if you take out Christmas the plot would still stand. But it was such a great story, I like that it only had a touch of Christmas! I loved it!

Naughty list
BDSM themes in a Christmas Rom Com? Just too much spice in this gingerbread latte.

Awful
Just awful. I got to chapter four and gave up. Really- they’ve been in love since they met once at 16 years old. Now 14 years later it just feels too contrived and their characters too stereotypical.

Not a Christmas Novel
This is not a Christmas novel, it could take place at any time of year and it would have zero impact on the story. The characters are not very self respecting and the emotional tension and conclusion is not fulfilling. Felt like I was being edged...

Erections and wetness
The actual story could have been okay but the sex scenes were repetative and drawn out. And not very sexy despite the content.
