Licking Her Christmas Cookies

Frost Brothers, Book 4

De: Alina Jacobs

Narrado por: Devon Grace, Bradley Ford

In hindsight, opening a Christmas tree ornament shop in a small town was a terrible idea.

The Thanksgiving turkey is still warm, and I’m already up to my eyeballs in debt from my failed business.

To make matters worse, my knight in flannel never appeared—you know, the guy, the one who was tall, dark, and plaid, who had a friendly yellow lab and a truck and sold firewood, the one who showed the big-city heroine the true meaning of love and Christmas.

Yeah, he did not come rescue me.

Instead, Matt Frost showed up like the Prince of Winter to yell at me about the rent I owed him.

He did not feature in any of my Christmas fantasies. In fact, he was exactly the type of Christmas-hating alphahole billionaire in a suit I left Manhattan to escape.

I can’t worry about him.
I need to fix my life.
I have to make a bunch of money before Christmas Eve or I’m a toasted marshmallow.

No ornament will be left off this Christmas tree of desperation! Gambling on the Christmas raffle that lets you win either 10,000 dollars, a giant snow globe, or a snack-addicted reindeer? Spin that roulette wheel and bring it on.

Moonlighting as an elf for an irate Santa? Mama’s gotta get paid.

Entering in The Great Christmas Bake-Off in hopes of winning the grand prize? Fetch me my custom elf apron. I so have this bake-off wrapped, ribboned, and in my Christmas stocking.

Except when I’m paired with Matt the Grinch, I see my dreams of a debt-free Christmas going up in Yule log flames. Matt Frost and I are not compatible baking partners. Especially not after he licks the frosting off my Christmas cookies while I scream..

Not like that! He’s a Christmas-hating Scrooge who ruined my bake-off entry.
I am not in the market for a Christmas romance. Especially not with a six-foot-five guy with ice-blue eyes and washboard abs. No, not even when he’s covered in frosting, standing in front of a decorated tree, and looking better than an edible Christmas card.

Nope, not even then.

‘Tis the season for holiday romance! This is a full-length standalone holiday romantic comedy with nonstop Christmas and romance. If you love over-the-top small-town Christmas festivals, overbearing but well-meaning great-aunts, and smoking hot guys in nothing but a Santa hat who will melt the snow off the roof of your house, snuggle up with a spiked hot chocolate and get in the Christmas romance spirit!

Absolutely awesome Christmas love story.

I loved this Christmas holiday love story. It was entertaining, enjoyable, and hilarious. The characters were easy to relate to and likable for the most part. Merrie and Matt were awesome. They had a ton of chemistry that started out bad but it slowly morphed into good. There was so much of this story that I loved that I can’t pick a favorite part! Between Kringle, Prancer, all of the Frost’s, the Svensson’s, and Christmas there was a little bit of everything in there. It was a lot of fun and although there was a little drama and angst it wasn’t overwhelming and resolved well. I loved Merrie and Matt’s happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Listening to this audiobook made me love the story even more! The narrator's did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life. Their voices were nice to listen to as well. I recommend listening to this audiobook.

Cute and creative open door romance

I read #1 in the series last fall and thought it would be fun to see how another of the Frost brothers' story played out to fill a prompt in a Mini-Challenge. Open door, contemporary romance with a lot of over the top characters. Also fits the Grumpy-Sunshine trope although Mr Grumpy came on way to hard and crappy in his first appearance. Merri is cute. Matt I want to kick in the shins. NSFW. Mature content.

Prompt 3A: FOURTH - this was the 4th book in the series.

Don't mess with mad Matt

Silly story actually all of them in this series are and they are great for some funny holiday cheer. I liked the new twist when Matt got angry at Merrie and Brody. I also really want to hear about Belle and Greg's story, hopefully it will be soon.

Hot Frosty with plenty of laughs

My favorite Alina Jacobs listen, along with In Her Pumpkin Patch! Fun, cozy, with imagery of Christmas magic and delicious baking descriptions. The spice is always fun and exciting. The townspeople of Harrogate are a hoot! Especially Aunt Bettina and Ida. Love this author, I listen to this one and pumpkin patch year after year.

So funny

Another great story that is hilarious and really wants to make you wish you could be among all the disgruntled yet swoon alphas.
