How My Neighbor Stole Christmas

De: Meghan Quinn

Narrado por: Vanessa Edwin, J.F. Harding, Robert Hatchet, Emma Wilder, Shane East

A new winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always spicy, USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.

There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we'd shared.

So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That's right, I planned on beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three sizes this season.

And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.

We pretended to date.

We kissed.

And well, sparks flew from there.

Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition, and a ladder. Don't let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need to find out for yourself . . .

It had it all!

I laughed out loud, I cried, I swooned AND it was a Christmas story. Perfection. The voice actors were awesome, the story was adorable and honestly HILARIOUS. there were a few times I laughed so loud that I had to rewind it because I missed what came after. And the Queen of Spice delivered on the 🌶️. There MUST be a book on Max next Christmas 🙏

Fun story

Overall I liked the book. I did kind of get bored with the repeated descriptive sex scenes. I am not a prude but just found it to be a little boring. I would rather see a little more character building. Overall the book was enjoyable to read!

had me laughing out loud & giving me feels

After facing a tragedy 10 years ago Cole Black, the ultimate Christmas grump, is all about hibernating through the holidays.
Enter Storee Taylor, his old friend turned enemy and festive rival, who’s determined to win the town's Christmas Kringle contest.
Their banter is everything!
Watching their fake dating antics unfold is pure gold, especially as they start to realize their feelings are way more real than either of them expected.

What I loved most? The depth beneath the holiday fluff. Storee's journey of self-discovery while dealing with feelings of isolation and Cole's struggle with grief add so much heart to the story. Their growth together is super uplifting.

Plus, the audiobook cast is fire! Vanessa Edwin, J.F. Harding, Robert Hatchet, Emma Wilder, and Shane East.
I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day.
If you're into grumpy-sunshine dynamics, small-town charm, and a sprinkle of spice, you NEED to check this out. Perfect for cozying up with some hot cocoa!

The Perfect Holiday Rom-Com

Meghan Quinn does it again! I have to say that I was a bit hesitant when I first saw the page count, but I enjoyed every single second of this book. The banter is superior, the spice is spicy, and the Christmas references are top notch. Add in an incredibly heartwarming story and you have the perfect holiday rom-com. I may never look at a candy cane the same way again but I’m not mad about it. Haha. I cannot recommend this book enough!

Thank you to Meghan and her team for this ARC in return for my honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

All the feels

Grinch-y X rated hallmark story. AMAZING! Definitely recommend and will re-listen next holiday season
