Merrymaker

De: Kayley Loring

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Brandon Francis

TO: Cleo Jones

FROM: Elijah Abrams

SUBJECT: Happy Holidays WTF

I woke up with a mild hangover and an alarm notification that said, “Check attachment in email Cleo sent to herself from my phone, Dummy.”

Your video proof of me offering you a temporary assistant job over the holidays seems legit.

The payment amount I agreed to was outrageous. However, I have a deadline to meet. Having already fired seven temps this week, I am inclined to give this a shot, assuming you are willing to start today.

Please don’t wear that saucy elf costume, speak in rhyme, or act all festive.

P.S. I apologize for the confusion caused by my son’s good intentions. He knew nothing of our former acquaintance and film school rivalry. But thanks for playing along.

TO: Elijah Abrams

FROM: Cleo Jones

SUBJECT: And a very merry good morning to you, sir!

To your non-festive requests, I must say nay!

You can pay me in cash, starting today.

I’ll help you produce movie magic, while spreading Christmas cheer,

Despite your mockery of my theatrical career.

I’ll bring my balloons and my kazoo.

I hope your son can join us too!

So flattered you found my elf costume saucy!

See you at the office, Bossy…

*This audiobook features duet narration by Erin Mallon and Brandon Francis. It can be read as a standalone, but you’ll find crossover characters from Sleeper, Charmer, and Troublemaker.

Cleo & Elijah

The first time Cleo Jones and Elijah Abrams met, they knew there was something special between them. But Cleo never made it to their date for reasons you'll discover when you read this fast paced, fun-filled HOLIDAY romance!

The Lazy Wingmen are back! Elijah's son Paxton is an absolute gem in this story.

From the first few pages, I thought Cleo hated Elijah but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Elijah had reasons for not liking Cleo, although those reasons get blurry pretty quick.

The dialogue is on point, borderline manic at times, in the best possible way. The book/story moves fast!

This is an annual read for me, and an absolute favorite.

Sweet Scale: 5/5

Really good book

I love this book. Kayley is such a gifted writer. I’m a big fan and the Narration is fantastic. Thank you for getting Erin to sing 😊

Short and Sweet

Love the Holiday theme. Quick and light read with some Holiday Spice. Every year I look for a similar formula.

Fun Holiday RomCom

I love KL’s stories, and this was a fun read! Sweet, and spicy…perfect for an afternoon of delight!

Sweet & Smutty Christmas Novella

Both the female and male narrator did an amazing job in this duet narration. Loved each character that they voiced.

This Christmas, single dad, grumpy x sunshine, funny short story was absolutely amazing. I fell in love from beginning to the end. Just note that I haven’t heard the other books yet in this series. I just jumped into this novella and I can honestly say this was a lovely roller coaster to the end.

But the smutty scenes were absolutely amazing. If you’re looking for something Christmasy sweet and smutty I would suggest you listen to this or read it whatever you like.
