Merry Ex-Mas

By: Courtney Walsh

Narrated by: Lee Samuels, Virginia Rose

I haven't been home for Christmas in eight years.

That's about to change. This year, I'm traveling to my small hometown to convince my producer to make me the permanent host of Good Day Denver.

The plan: Charm viewers by sharing my favorite family Christmas traditions and, in turn, get the likes, clicks, and shares to land the job.

Not the plan: Run into my ex-boyfriend. In my house. For Christmas.

Here he is, a guest of my mother, who apparently had more trouble letting go of Max Weber than I did.

Unfortunately, he is as handsome and charming and talented and annoying and frustrating and flirty as ever. Even more unfortunately, he seems to have a plan of his own to convince me to give him a second chance—not happening.

There's just one problem—my viewers love him. More than that, they love us. Me and Max. My ex. The boy who broke my heart. The boy I now have to fake flirt with to win over the hearts of my viewers.

It's not their hearts I'm worried about... it's mine.

Merry Ex-Mas is a sweet, small-town, second-chance romance with a dash of not-so-fake flirting, a tiny bit of enemies-to-lovers, and just enough forced proximity to make things sizzle.

A sweet story and a happy ending

I’m a big fan of Walsh’s stories. This wasn’t my favorite of hers, but still a great listen. I appreciate that she writes sweet stories without cursing or pg-13 material. Overall would recommend!

Cozy Holiday Romance

This was such a cute book and the narrators did so great bringing this story to live.

Written so well you can see the characters as she is writing about them.

Wasn’t really sure if I would enjoy and I enjoyed it so much I want to know what happens next for Merin and Max. Loved how the writer takes you through all their emotions, the good, the bad, the anger and joy. And brings full circle a beautiful life lesson for each of us.

such a sweet and cozy Christmas romance

This book is perfect to listen to while making holidays crafts, driving on a cold morning, or wrapping gifts. The characters and traditions are sweet. It is worth using your credit for.

Absolutely charming, with depth and heart

This book was a delight to read. I devoured the audiobook in less than a day, because I couldn’t stop. Maren and Max are fantastic MCs. I loved that this book was filled with heart and depth, but balanced by lighthearted moments and lots of Christmas cheer. This was a second-chance romance done right, and I would read it again in a heartbeat.

Sweet Story!

This book has all the pining and butterflies, but in a clean way, which I appreciate. Will be reading more from this author!

Perfect I’m beginning to end

I can honestly say, I love this book. The writing was funny and heartwarming. The narration was over the top great and I will be sure to listen to more of Courtney Walsh. I wish every audiobook had narrators as good as the two in this book, it would make every book, wonderful. Don’t miss it.

Anger from female main

The female main character was angry and mean throughout the book. She refused to let the past go. She whined about everything. I enjoyed reading about the Christmas activities. The book is great minus the spoiled lead female.

So Good! Very pure.

I loved it. Loved the characters and story line. it was so nice to come across this romcom that wasn't nasty.

Cute Holiday Romance

Perfect for an easy, cozy holiday read. The characters are a little bland, but there are plenty of funny moments and Christmas-y scenes for celebrating the season if you’re looking for something light.
