Merry with Me

De: Kaylee Ryan

Narrado por: Alexa Elmy, Eric MacArthur

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new grumpy-sunshine standalone holiday romance.

Blakely

When my boss tells me I'm taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.

I'm on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that's what he says. His eyes tell me a different story.

That's why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That's our family motto after all. I'll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?

Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I'd like to work on, I'm assigned the Christmas gala. Me…the guy who detests the holiday.

In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out I get more than I bargained for. I didn't anticipate her, Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That's how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can. She's trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I'm falling in love with her.

Holiday Grumpy/Sunshine office romance

If you’re looking for a cozy, emotional holiday read, this is the one.
Christmas-obsessed Blakely lands the honor of planning the hospital’s big holiday party—and she’s determined to make it magical. Her partner in all the festive chaos? Oliver, the doctor who cannot stand Christmas. Total Scrooge energy… with a heartbreaking reason behind it.

I adored the family vibes, the banter, the slow-burn tension, the angsty moments, Oliver’s broody alpha-doctor presence, and Blakely’s bubbly warmth. This book wrapped me up like a perfect holiday hug.

One of my favorite holiday romances of the year!

Tropes:
Close family
Office romance
Grumpy/sunshine
No 3rd act
Age gap
Slow burn

Can't stand the voices.

I paid to listen to this and I can not stand the voices. The male voice sounds so artificial that it is disturbing. The story takes place in Georgia and the voice actor for the female sounds like a northern accent.
