3 New Stories-narrated by Connor Crais (solo!)

I bought this Set for the 3 all new stories. (I already own the full-length stories as separate audios, and I love them all!) Re: the new material, I enjoyed all 3, but the 4th of July (prequel to AVNS Halloween) is my favorite. The Very Holiday books & characters are some of my very favorites. I listen to them each year & definitely on/near the featured holiday. The whole VH series is truly special to me (& much cheaper than therapy!) because they never fail to bring a smile, make me laugh, or brighten my day.

As for the narration, I love that Connor Crais narrates the new stories solo! Personally, I like his female character voices as much as & often better than those of the female narrators. I think he is terrific here, & brings many of those favorite characters to life in an entertaining one-man show! And yes, besides all of the accents, Kayley Loring does succeed in getting Connor to sing! Again! (Well done, Connor!...and Thank you, Kayley!)

Narration and funny dialog.

Totally loved this whole series. The narrators did a wonderful job. And I loved the duel narration.

The Best Holiday Series Ever!

The Very Holiday Series Box Set 1 & 2 is an outstanding holiday compilation that will have you roaring with laughter, enjoying the spice,and loving the multi-family members finding their HEA’s. This will become a seasonal “Must Reread”. Kayley and Connor have created some of the most entertaining audiobooks, a perfect balance of great storytelling and creative voice acting. Some of the best that I have ever heard. This is really a clever series, most enjoyable, and I couldn’t recommend more!!!!! A true Diamond, but word to the wise, watch your liquid consumption. These books had me peeing in my pants, or as Richard Gere said in “Pretty Woman”, “She liked it better than the Pirates of Penzance!😉

Fabulous!

I cannot even describe how much I loved these stories. They are equally filled with tons of laughs, loads of entertainment and lots of love. This is a fantastic series. Narration was perfection.

This Series is Rom Com Gold!

How to choose a favorite in a series full of favorites. This entire series is full of fantastic characters. I love how interconnected they all are. Connor Crais brings so many memorable characters to life with sooo many accents. The work of all the voice artists is beyond, truly elevating already wonderful writing.
I’m particularly partial to A Very Snowed in New Year since I’ve listened to Piper grow up over 6 books and 10 years of her life, from butt obsessed tween to the amazing young woman who absolutely deserves her HEA and is still butt obsessed.
Kayley Loring’s humor is exactly my cup of tea. I laughed out loud many times during this listen. I will now be doing a deep dive into all of Connor and Kayley’s other books because if they write it, I’m reading it.
