Yes to the Holidays

De: April Berry

Narrado por: Eliza Summers

Is business more important than pleasure? Or is love the true gift of the season?

Thanks to finalizing her divorce from her cheating co-worker of a husband, Janie wasn’t much in the holiday spirit. When a chance encounter puts her face-to-face with a hot Viking who's only in town a couple of weeks, she decides she deserves to give herself a present.

With a new acquisition in the works, Odin travels to Georgia to verify the details of the sale. And after a run-in with a striking woman, he is even more intrigued by just how hot the south can get.

Janie and Odin are fire between the sheets, but reality douses the flame when he walks into her office building as the soon-to-be new owner. Stunned, Janie puts the brakes on the budding relationship. But Odin’s hoping to change her mind and get her to say yes to the holidays.

Southern Accent for a Southern FML

I loved the voice, the narrator nailed this! I really felt pulled into the story like I was in the FML head! This was adorable, low anx, and steamy in all the right places! April always writes the best feel good romance.

Holiday story with a steamy twist

Perfect for what it is: a short and steamy holiday romance. Enough storyline to feel like it wasn't erotica. Enough spice to feel like it wasn't my grandma's sweet romance. A thoroughly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. My first book by this author but not my last.

The narration was excellent. I'll definitely be looking for more of this narrator.

Fun and fantastic

What a delightful and fun holiday listen. Janie and Odin are amazing…love the banter, sass and steam!!

Eliza Summers did an amazing job with the narration. She gave the characters perfect emotion, voice and personality.

Charming & Delightful! Great Story & Narration🎧

April D. Berry’s “Yes to the Holidays” is a delightfully entertaining romance novel that captivates your attention and warms your heart. I adored the two lead characters, Janie Turner and Odin Gärd, they were easy to relate to and care about. Janie and her soon to be ex-husband, Donald, work together for the same company since the start of the company. Their marriage fell apart after she caught him cheating with a person he hired. The divorce will be finalized in a few days, while it is sad she is ok with that. She stopped at the bar to unwind when she runs into a nice looking guy, Odin, who was in Georgia for a business meeting. The two hit it off and enjoyed each other’s company, he was staying in Georgia thru the holidays and convinced her to say yes to the holidays, yes to spend time with him. I loved these two together and for each other, but it turns out he is in town to buy the company where she works. She already had one ex working in the same company as her, would having a relationship with the-soon-to-be owner be a smart move, despite the chemistry between them. Odin will do whatever it takes for her to not walk away from him. I enjoyed how everything played out in this book, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story has the perfect balance of drama, a touch of angst, mostly from her ex, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Thank you for this wonderfully charming story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Eliza Summers did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and covering both the male and female roles, giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and tell who is who. She understood the characters was portraying and was believable in every role she played. She set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. Summers is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this wonderful listen.

Super cute and perfectly steamy!

I was provided an advance copy of this title and am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A wickedly fun, super cute and perfectlysteamy holiday novella to give you the warm and fuzzies on a cold December night that wastes zero time getting down to the spicy nitty gritty.

Very cute and festive! I loved Janie and Odin and breezed through this! Thank you to the author for the advance copy!

Love!

I absolutely loved the narrator for this book! I’m very picky with my narrators. This book is told in dual POV’s and the narrator did a fantastic male voice. They really sucked me into the story. The narrator did a great accent.

I fell for Odin right away! Janie deserved so much! The author did a great job of making me dislike Donald. (I do have stronger feelings for that man, but I will refrain). I think this is the authors spiciest book. I felt like I needed several cold showers, and that’s not good in the middle of winter. Overall I would recommend it to those who love romcoms! The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life.

soo good!

Oden and Jane are perfect for each other. He let's her be the strong, powerful woman she is. She's worried about office politics and what others will say. This is a short, steamy instant romance with a little drama.
Eliza Summers narration is very animated and a joy to listen to this audio. very well done!.

If hallmark had spice!

This novella packed quite a story. If Hallmark had more spice this would fit right in. This was a fun but also emotional romance of finding yourself and love after getting lost in your earlier years. I love the meet-cute all the way to the "it was all you" style ending.
Eliza Summers did an amazing job with this story. I loved how she brought the characters to life. All the way to life with heart flutters and all.

Sweet and spicy and the perfect length

Yes To The Holidays was a great little short-ish sexy Christmas romance and one of my favorites this year. Janie is about to finalize her divorce from her cheating ex who she found with another woman in the office they both work at. Not feeling the holiday vibes, she heads to a local Atlanta bar and meets Odin, a tall, hot Viking in town for business.

Janie and her ex were hired for her company as a team and they are both pretty successful, but now she has to deal with him every day at work, so when this gorgeous Viking asks her to show him around Atlanta she couldn’t think of a better distraction, until work the next week when they realize that his business in town is buying her company!

Sweet, spicy, and the perfect length of an instalove holiday romance, Yes To The Holidays wasn’t all that memorable, but there was nothing I didn’t like about it. I really enjoyed all the characters and I will be looking for more books from April Berry.

The narrator, Eliza Summers, was fabulous. I hope to hear a lot more from her.
