A Holiday Boyfriend

De: Olivia Dunkley

Narrado por: Shannon Parker Taing, Alex Morf

A warm, witty holiday romance about second chances, unexpected love, and the magic that happens when we stop searching for perfect and start seeing what’s real.

Twelve days before Christmas, Katie’s perfectly curated life unravels when her boyfriend dumps her. Heartbroken and humiliated, she returns to her hometown, determined never to show up for Christmas alone again. With a dramatic vow to the universe, Katie makes herself a promise: next Christmas, she’s coming home with a man—the right man.

Enter Binder, the dating app where hope goes to die. Katie, alongside her ever-supportive and hilariously outspoken best friends Valerie and Keiko, embarks on a quest for love in the age of swipes, sparks, and spectacular disasters.

Just when she’s ready to give up, Jacob, a rugged, quiet cowboy who works at the ranch where Katie boards her horse, Charlie, literally rides to her rescue. Grateful and intrigued, Katie finds herself drawn to Jacob’s earthy charm and steady presence. But she has a plan—and he doesn’t fit it.

Still wary of love and skeptical of their differences, Katie proposes a simple, no-strings-attached arrangement: Jacob will be her Holiday Boyfriend—a festive plus-one to get her through the season, nothing more. Jacob agrees, but has no intention of being temporary.

As the snow falls and the holiday spirit works its magic, Katie begins to fall for Jacob. But Jacob’s hiding something—something that could derail everything between them.

When the truth comes out, will Katie see it as a betrayal—or a Christmas miracle in disguise?

Charming, Fun, and Totally Addictive

I absolutely loved this audiobook — I even found myself talking out loud to the narrators, especially coaching Katie through her chaotic love life. The dual narration brought the story to life, and the holiday setting made it all the more cozy. That little twist at the end? Perfectly timed and genuinely satisfying. A fun, feel-good listen from start to finish.
