Jingle

By: Morgan Lysand

Narrated by: Avery Wilde

It’s Christmas time again and Shae can’t wait to slide into Jingle—his elf persona—for a few weeks at the Frostdale mall. The costumes, the scents, the bright laughter, his friends. It all fuels him for the rest of the year. What he doesn’t anticipate is his entire world changing when his best friend moves back home after being away for eight long years.

Trace has had one goal in mind since his family moved away from Frostdale and that’s to get back. He’s finally saved enough money after college, and he’s home just in time for the holidays. He doesn’t expect to see Shae as anything other than his best friend, but once they’re together again, sparks fly and he can’t help but realize he wants something more.

Jingle is a best friends to lovers, sweet and spicy MM romance featuring a talented pianist that moonlights as a mall elf every Christmas and a web developer that wants to help unwrap him. Jingle is part of the Merry Elf-Mas multi-author series. Each story can be listened to as a standalone, but why not come along for the ride as each of Santa’s elves finds love during the holidays?

fun easy holiday listen

New to me narrator Avery Wilde makes an good book so much better with his beautiful narrative skills. His Trace voice alone made a fan for life it just has a soothing quality that I cannot get enough of! I cannot wait to hear more from him in the future.

This is my kind of no angst, just a joy to read, holiday story. What a joy to start the Frostdale Mall elf squad with their ring leader Jingle!
We meet Jingle (Shae) and his childhood best friend Trace, who is finally able to retrun home after 8 years, where they never lost touch. One of those long-distance friendships that prove with work, you dont lose that connection even if it takes time to be back in one anothers lives. These two are just joy personified, which normally is not my favorite thing, but for a holiday story, it's perfect! The spicy scenes were just enough to tone down what could have easily been a too sweet novel.
Cannot wait to see the rest of the elf squad find their hea in this merry elfmas combined universe.
