Holiday Brothers, Book 3

By: Willa Nash

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Teddy Hamilton

Length: 3 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's Summary

There are a lot of places I’d rather spend Christmas Eve morning than on a cold, snowy sidewalk outside someone else’s home. I’d kill to be sitting beside a fireplace, drinking cocoa, wearing flannel pajamas, and reading a book.

Instead, I’m here, standing in front of my one-night stand’s house, working up the courage to ring the doorbell and tell him I’m pregnant.

I hate that term—one-night stand. It sounds so cheap and sleazy. Tobias Holiday is neither of those things. He’s handsome and caring. Witty and charismatic. And once, a long time ago, he was mine.

Our one-night reunion was only supposed to be a hookup. A fling with an old lover. A parting farewell before I moved to London and put my feelings for him an ocean away. How exactly am I supposed to explain that to Tobias that I’m having a baby? His baby? Maybe I could sing it. He always loved the silly songs I made up in the shower.

Three French hens, two turtle doves.

And a partridge and a pregnancy.

🤷🏻‍♀️ SADLY NOT MY FAVORITE

I really loved the first heartwarming book in this series, I enjoyed the second one too but this second-chance sadly didn’t quite deliver the warmth that I was hoping for. Ava and Tobias loved each other in College but Ava’s career choices had her moving away and rejecting Tobias’ proposal.. and now, years later, their one night final ’goodbye’ had resulted in an oops pregnancy. A couple clearly still in love but the hurt and career choices were still barriers between them.. and, even though their attraction was strong, it left only sex and another sad goodbye ahead.

Worth a credit? I don’t usually do short stories but, because it was Willa Nash (aka Devney Perry).. because it was Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder.. and because it was a FREE listen, I got it. However, it was just an okay romance for me because I didn't get that swoony feel-good feeling and unfortunately even the great narration by Teddy and Emma couldn’t make me love the story. Each book overlaps each other and has the same short timeline.

Tobias and Eva

A rollercoaster ride of emotions to go on with Tobias and Eva. Their chemistry is undeniable but their communication skills need some work. This is an angst filled, entertaining, but charming story.
Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder did a fantastic job bringing these great characters to life.

Ummm, not my fav of the series

**SPOILER** Ava...what a dumb dummy! I mean, she's pregnant, moving to London alone while the baby's father in the US (who wants to be involved, as this is his first child), her family is in the US, she doesn't know anyone, nor have any support in London and had the nerve to say she needed to ask her boss if she can take maternity leave...I cannot! Like she literally said they could FaceTime. Who parents over FaceTime? I know this is fiction, but when the characters are dense...it gets under my skin! Tobias deserved better. Teddy Hamilton is a fav, so of course he helped carry the story and I enjoy Emma Wilder also. I skipped parts, because I needed this story to end!

Just as good as the first book

And again this series is all good. Well done and sweet. Just a great contemporary romance series. I highly recommend this series to any readers that enjoy romance genres.

Not the best story to end the series

I enjoyed the first book in this series, it was cute, sexy and the right balance of sex. The second one was just wall to wall sex, but it still was cute and engaging. This one, the male character put up red flag after red flag. Granted the other two male main characters had some off putting comments, but that is par for the course.

The name always makes me giggle, I love it!

Okay, not gonna lie I didn't love this one...

The whole "miscommunication trope" I have been seeing so much of lately is ridiculous! I get it, people are going to have disagreements, misunderstandings and even miscommunications in a relationship but when the entirety of a book revolves around both parties not wanting to speak their truth it really irks me.

You were hurt in the past and you don't want to be hurt again, okay cool. Tell her that. Okay, he didn't ask you to stay all those years ago then tell him you would stay if he wanted you too. Bam, problem solved. The worst that is going to happen is you are going to be rejected but then at least you will know.

I love a messy relationship in a book but not when it is as simple as saying a few words. Totally a me thing. Don't mistake me, I didn't hate this book and it is Willa Nash so there was still so much about it I enjoyed from their adorable banter to the way they were together when they weren't heartbroken over words that weren't said.

Emma Wilder and Teddy Hamilton killed the narration as usual. Those are two go to narrators for me because I know I am going to enjoy it. And Teddy when he gets demanding it just does something for me.

The Holiday Brothers was an enjoyable trilogy full of all the Christmas vibes you love mixed with that same Willa Nash charm you know.

Fun fast series

I really enjoyed following the brothers in their journeys to love, the narrators did a great job

Cute

it was definitely cute. not as good as the others before it, but still cute.

not for me

its a short story but i have to admit i skipped parts of the book. The only thing i liked about the book is that it brought a real life problem for the characters to sort out. i do think Tobis could do way better.

Cute and lighthearted

It’s an easy story to listen to. I liked how the timeline intertwined with the previous two books.

Annoying characters+ bad performances

Narration was not worth the 1 star, to be honest. The tone, the “performance”, nerve grating. Emma more so than Teddy, but he wasn’t far behind.
Characters… well, I did not manage to finish this one, due to above mentioned performance combined with very annoying leads.
Tobias wants a stay at home wife to cater to his lifestyle and it’s ok for her to follow her dreams as long as they match his plan(at least that’s the ideea I got up until the point I stoped listening🤷🏻‍♀️). Hopefully he found some redeeming qualities by the end of the book. I for sure wouldn’t know.
Ava, clearly has issues, wants a baby, a baby daddy, etc, but on her own terms, which is admirable, follow your dreams and all that, but then be ready to be dissapointed if things don’t hmgo as you wanted or do your homework and be ready to compromise, because having a child is a lifetime of COMPROMISES… Maybe she also redeemed herself by the end of the book… don’t know and couldn’t be bothered to find out.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this last book in the Joliday brothers series. Well written, well read, an easy listen.

Loved it!

I love this series of books; how the characters intermingle and support the stories. A good old tale of happiness comes to those who wait.

🎧 Tobias and Ava 🎧

Second-chance, surprise pregnancy Christmas story. Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder did a great job bringing this final Holiday couple to life.

A nice short story

This is similar the the others In the series, a nice short live story. The plot is rushed but the narrators are amazing.

Good story

The story is great the narration is difficult the lady pauses randomly and drags on words almost sing-songy, too often emphasising the wrong words, I persisted because the story was good and I wanted to finish the set

That female robot Narrator though 🙌🏽

Honestly, the first two books, fantastic! This book.. destroyed by the narrator, I actually could only get to chapter 2/3 because the constant inflection was souls destroying!

Please get a new narrator get them to read the book, the current robot voice is more A.I than ahhhh… such a shame, killed the vibe from the first two books!!

Loved this series of 3 short stories

I have listened to all 3 back to back. It's a really interesting premise that the some of the same events are referenced in each of the 3 stories, but from the different perspective of that book's main characters.

Each one is a different brother's romance and HEA, ans I found them thoroughly enjoyable, narrated by some of my favourite romance narrators.

Final in trilogy

Cute ending to the holiday brothers trilogy. Similar themes throughout each story which are okay, but some variety would be nice

All great except for the male protagonist's vowels

I loved everything but the annoyingly weird and Windsoresque way the male narrator pronounced the male protagonist's vowels. He sounded like the new King Charles putting on a US accent!
