Description: A meet-not-so-cute leads to spicy romance in this brilliantly hilarious new rom-com from best-selling author A. J. Pine!
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks.
When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops. Now thanks to her boozy oversharing, he knows all her secrets—and they’ll be stuck in the same house all Christmas long. Double oops.
As their chemistry turns red-hot, will they be able keep their hands off each other long enough to navigate growing family drama? And what will Molly do when she discovers that Liam is hiding a scandalous secret of his own? Whatever happens, one thing is clear: These two are in for an unforgettable holiday ride.
My Thoughts: This was a lot of fun to listen to mainly because Andi Arndt and Teddy Hamilton are so massively talented that they make just about every book they narrate a pleasure to listen to. This book was my first experience with this author and I look forward to more of her Christmas rom com’s.
I really loved the way Molly and Liam meet for the first time on a plane to celebrate the holiday with family. Their chemistry is apparent but instead of exchanging numbers or email addresses, Molly consumes too much bubbly and reveals too much about her family and her new side hustle, which has netted her a million unexpected dollars in her bank account.
When Molly arrives at the lavish home she is staying with her parents, sister, future brother in law and his family, she is shocked to discover that her seatmate on the plane is none other than her future brother in law’s brother. How many ways can we say awkward? Liam and Molly manage to keep their meeting a secret and it turns out that he and everybody else in the house are harboring secrets of their own.
I adored Molly and Liam. I know this is not the first instance of the daughters in one family ending up with the sons in another family, but I loved how they clicked as friends and then as lovers and not wanting to steal the attention away from their siblings and the upcoming nuptials. It took me a bit longer to warm up to Liam’s parents and his brother as they come across as very pretentious in the beginning and I liked how protective of her family Molly is.
My Final Verdict: Overall, this book was a lot of fun and spending a week in a luxurious home with all the Christmas cheer and festivities sounds like a lot of fun. I highly recommend this story to fans of Christmas themes, contemporary romance and readers who enjoy stories where all of the characters are keeping secrets.
