Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne—and her real-life husband and high school sweetheart, Anthony LeDonne—comes a new holiday rom-com that is sure to warm even the coldest heart.

Katherine, an ambitious New York City attorney, gets diagnosed with a concussion and must be monitored for forty-eight hours to make sure it doesn’t get worse. Unfortunately, she forgot to update her emergency contact, so the person they call is her ex-husband, Tom. Unable to be left alone, Katherine reluctantly agrees to travel to Chicago with him for the holidays. But thanks to a blizzard, what should have been a quick plane ride turns into an antagonistic overnight misadventure that stirs up old feelings even as Tom prepares to propose to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve.

A delightful meet-cute between The Proposal and Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Emergency Contact is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sophie Kinsella.

the story is cute and funny. a cozy romcom for the winter months

I found our main characters a little bit frustrating. they weren't the most likable. but in general the story was cute and fun to listen to. I'd reccomend it for a light hearted romcom lover

Funny! Really loved the banter.

Very fun light read as I always laugh when listening to Lauren Layne books, I love the humor in them. This story took a bit too long to get to the point & needed a hit better ending but all in all I really liked it.

Wonderful story

The banter in this story is wonderful. It's sometimes laugh out loud funny. Towards the end, I had so many feelings. The narration was perfect by Tim Paige and Brianna Cohen.

Christmas romance

Loved it. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the part where a line is repeated and it was missed in production as well as a voice change of Katherine at the end of the book. Otherwise it was a perfect warm Christmas unexpected romance.

Best Christmas Story I’ve Ever Read!

Not only with the characters well fleshed out and funny, but the scenarios and situations were genuinely realistic. You really do believe that these people are trying the very best in a really unfortunate situation.
The story has so much heart and is so well structured without being predictable or boring. A surprise in every chapter. Highly recommend.
