Deck the Halls

De: Max Walker

Narrado por: Greg Boudreaux

Andrew Barker is ready for the holidays. His perpetually bright and cheery personality feels right at home for Christmas. He has time off from work and a husband who's waiting for him at home, what else would he need?

Well, he had no idea he would be needing to sign divorce papers - let's start there.

Declan Rose-Covington, part of a luxury hotel dynasty, is coming into Stonewall Investigations because he needs help with a family issue. With his mom's huge holiday retreat around the corner, he's hoping to solve it before Santa comes to town. The last thing he's expecting is to enter the detective agency and fall for the strikingly handsome man sitting behind the front desk.

When Declan and Andrew meet they both feel an instant connection. Soon, the connection grows powerful enough to push Declan toward a crazy proposition: invite Andrew to the family retreat as a fake boyfriend. Andrew would get a nice week-long vacation out of it and Declan would avoid the judgemental jabs from all the spoused-up family members.

The potential for disaster was there, but there was also a chance to truly make this the most wonderful time of the year.

Contains mature themes.

Deck the Halls

Omg this audio book was absolutely positively amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

So sweet

Another great addition to the series. sweet as honey, love at first meeting. Insta and HEA just so sweet. Another mystery solved. well worth the credit and your time to listen...

My favorite in the series

I think this was my favorite in the series even though I have one book left. The narration by Greg was fantastic as always. Anything he narrates that I have listened to so far has been great. Looking forward to many more and going to get the last in the series now.

Stonewall Light

Sweet, low angst, insta-love, holiday romance. Yeah this is a common story, "Be my fake boyfriend so I'm not embarrassed around my family/coworkers/friends but, oops we fell in love!" But Max Walker is funny and Greg Boudreux is always fantastic so, I'm not mad at it. 3.5 stars.

Fun and witty!

Greg always, always makes my day with his narrative talents. Max Walker wrote a funny, cute book and Greg took it to the next level.

Delightful Christmas story - solid 4.5 stars.

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, nice flow.
Had me smiling from start to finish. This a very clichéd "be my fake boyfriend while I go home to my family" story, but I don't care - I was thoroughly delighted. Andrew is such a bright spark of a character and Declan was smart and charming - together they made a "perfect hallmark Christmas story".

🎧 Narrator comment: Greg Boudreaux can do no wrong (in my opinion). He suits the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance and he bought the story to life.

Great gay Christmas love story

The flow of this book was great. The story was really good. The sex was hot. Great happy ending to the story.

Funny, Cute, and Sexy!

The comedy is great and their romance is so cute. It even has a bit of mystery and holiday magic. Totally recommend!

Beautiful and light

The perfect holiday listen which was engaging, light and romantic. With some unexpected twists and turns.

Spot on comedic banter and love

I loved every conversation between Declan and Andrew...filled with humor and sexual tension. Andrew fit seamlessly in with Declans grandparents and mother. Their journey was sweet and HOT.
