She didn’t want to be alone at the most wonderful time of the year. When he shows up, she may decide to rethink that

London, England. Charlotte Connors is tired of asking for a man, only to find coal in her stocking. Emboldened by a little liquid courage, she gives up on Father Christmas and uses her grandmother’s old book to summon a faerie plus-one for the holiday party. But when against all odds it actually works, Charlotte finds herself face-to-face with a foul-mouthed, hungover hitman.

Bain was looking to sleep it off after taking revelling to new heights at the Winter Solstice. Instead, the acerbic assassin is stuck with a naïve, pathetic human who doesn’t even have a target in mind. But since she owes him a favour if he does her bidding, the clever killer strikes a deal that will allow him to finally take revenge for a broken contract.

Though he gets under her skin with each four-letter word, Charlotte can’t help being drawn to her temporary paranormal paramour. But just as Bain starts to fall for the foolish mortal, he discovers the object of his vengeance is her boss.

Can this mismatched pair somehow snowball into happily ever after?

started cozy, ended... not

This one started off cozy, and had mostly cozy vibes, but towards the end it became.. not cozy. I enjoyed most of the book, regardless of the tropes I am not fond of, but the ending was.. not for me.

Be Careful What You Wish For

I was entertained by this story. I thought the setting was fabulous as the story took place in London during the Christmas season. I liked Charlotte Connors as she was a typical, modern-day girl who only wanted a date for the holiday season. Although Bain was not really my idea of the perfect date, the more I listened to his story, the more I liked him. I enjoyed their tumultuous relationship. I appreciated Broghanne Jessamine's narration as her performance added to the characters' realism. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Very interesting book

I liked this mainly because it started out like a normal predictable story but then ended with a different kind of ending so it was an enjoyable listen that I fully recommend

Very cute book with twist

This book was a very good book. Had a cute vibe and had a good twist. Did feel like the ending was fast and wanted more of the ending. Wanted more of the side characters storyline

Fun

What a fun book. Charlotte accidentally summons a faerie assassin to be her fake boyfriend for the holidays. What crazies could result. I thought it was interesting the connection between Charlotte's ex and Bain, you have to read the book to see what it was. I enjoyed this plot it was an engaging holiday read.

The narration was great, it brought life to the characters. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

CHRISTMAS ASSASSIN

A FUN QUICK STORY ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN WHO SUMMONS A FAIRY FOR A BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS AND ENDS UP WITH A FAIRY ASSASSIN. THE BOOK DOES HAVE SOME HEAT. BUT IT WAS A FUN LISTEN. NARRATOR DID A FANTASTIC JOB!

Original and Entertaining!

I liked this romantic comedy novella! Charlotte and Bain's opposites attract romance is original, cute, fun, and entertaining. Broghanne Jessamine did a great job bringing this story to life. i enjoyed it. #StoryOrigin

Fun, Holiday Story!!

This is a fun holiday read (that doesn't need to be read during the holiday)! Charlotte has had a bad run of boyfriends, either cheating on her or just being terrible, and she really wants a date (who isn't a terrible person) for her sister's Boxing Day party. So when her grandmother sends an old storybook, she reminisces about her childhood reading them, and decides that summoning a date to the party would be a good idea. And a hungover fae assassin arrives. The scenes and the banter between the two was fun, plus the date (it was adorable!).
This is a fairly quick/read listen. The narrator is new to me, and she does a lovely job with all the characters and differentiating voices from the narrating voice to Lottie's/Bain's voices. I listened at 1.2x speed.

I'd love to meet these characters again! They were such fun to read!
There's a bit of swearing in this story, and a little bit of steam-adjacent, but it's mostly closed door otherwise. It's mostly lighthearted, but there are some heavier moments.

Sweet Novella with Delightful Twists

The story is fast-paced with laugh out loud moments. Plus the narrator did so well bring the characters of the fae realm and our own to life! Great story for those who are looking to feel good this holiday season!

Great audiobook

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook this story is a great story and the Narrator did a great job with this story I very much enjoyed this audiobook
