A Very Inconvenient Christmas

By: Becky Monson

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay, Patrick Boylan

This Christmas, their only way out is together.

Nora Romano’s day is a train wreck: her ex-boyfriend is marrying her ex-best friend, and a maddeningly attractive man named Cole Danner deliberately derails her biggest work project to save his local skate park.

Things get even worse when they both show up at the most Christmas-obsessed house in Arizona, each trying to convince the eccentric homeowner, Marigold Winters, to let them buy the same rare reindeer collectible. Nora and Cole argue. The reindeer ends up ripped in half—and Marigold loses her patience.

With a flick of what might actually be Christmas magic, she zaps them into her personal winter wonderland and hands them a list of “festive tasks” they must complete together if they ever want to go home.

Now Nora and Cole—two Christmas cynics with matching stubborn streaks—are stuck navigating snowball fights, holiday challenges, and the kind of unexpected spark that definitely wasn’t on the list. And somewhere between the bickering and the mistletoe, Nora realizes the most inconvenient part might be falling for the man she swore she hated.

A Christmas Carol meets The Hating Game in this laugh-out-loud, slow-burn holiday romcom about rivals, redemption, and the very real magic of second chances.

Magical Realism in a snow globe.

Very cute and quick listen for Christmas chaos. I listened while doing laundry and was able to finish pretty quickly. Lots of quirky moments. No spice.

Very good!

This book took an old storyline used many times in Rom Coms but gave it a fresh new twist making it into a fun holiday listen. Narration is excellent.

Perfect Holiday Read!

I absolutely loved this adorable holiday romcom! It’s the perfect listen to get you into the holiday mood!

Delightful Holiday Romcom

I loved this fun story about rekindling the spirit and magic of Christmas! This is a heartwarming story about two Christmas cynics and a meddling matchmaker/fairy godmother. The narrators were perfect for this book, and listening will put you in a holiday mood. I’m a huge fan of Becky Monson’s books, and I highly recommend this!

Couldn’t imagine an HEA between main characters

Ugh. The constant bickering between the main characters was a real put off. The main female character seemed outright mean, and I wasn’t rooting for her to win. I ultimately didn’t finish because I couldn’t endure.
