Narrated by: Drew Bacca

Length: 3 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's Summary

The first rule of business is that you don’t mix it with pleasure. But if you do get involved with your business partner? Try not to knock him up because it goofs up the dividends.

Tired of the playboy lifestyle, Gabe Smythe is ready for change. To start his new life, he’s come to Hollydale with one goal - to reunite with his long-lost brother, Rafe. Along the way, if he happens to meet a sweet omega who’d make a nice little homemaker, even better!

Cody Harper isn’t looking to settle down, and he’s definitely not ever tying himself to anyone. Casual sex and friends with extra-special benefits? Sure! Romance and relationships? Nope. Not gonna happen, especially not with Gabe, his sexy business partner at Nut Juices, the hot, new smoothie shop they run together with the help of their quirky employee, Tofer. 

Can their friendship and partnership survive an accidental pregnancy? As Cody and Gabe laugh their way from partners to friends with bennies to co-parents, they’ll discover that life isn’t always black and white, and sometimes, a little compromise comes in handy.

Return to the world of Hollydale with a quirky, holiday romance full of all the fluffy feels and sweet heat that you’d expect from a Hollydale story. This is the tenth book of The Hollydale Omegas series but is absolutely perfect to listen to as a stand-alone.

Please note: This book is for listeners who are 18 and above only, please! And yes, this book contains M/preg, adults adulting in sexy grown-up ways, and way more than an occasional use of potty mouth language.

More Spice

I loved that Gabe got to have his own HEA. We were brought up to think of him as an uncaring guy, when in fact his was just lost.

Nutmeg Spiced Omega - cute

Much like the rest of the series, this book is a bite-sized serving of goodness. Drew does a great job. I adored the singing part.

Another Great Addition to Series

I really enjoy sweet, fluffy reads and this book did not disappoint. I really enjoyed Gabe and Cody’s story and I liked that there was more to their story than meets the eye. Gabe did have to fight to prove to Cody that he would be there and truly wanted more. Tofer was a great addition to story as well. Narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life and adding depth and emotion when needed. Overall, a great read that's worth listening to.

Short and Sweet

Gabe and Cody were both sweet, though Cody was a bit stubborn at times. I loved how Gabe wanted to do what was right for Cody and the baby, but backed off after Cody stood his ground. I found Gabe to be a great Alpha and I’m glad he got his HEA. The two really were cute together.

Drew Bacca was great and helped bring fun and entertaining life to the story. He's easy to listen to and I love how he changes voices for the characters.

Fun and super sweet!

You have to loved Gabe and Cody, off the bat! Gabe is the typical rich playboy and Cody is sweet and hardworking wanting to open his own successful business. I love their relationship and how much they grow through this little book. I love seeing family come together and of course accidental pregnancies. It’s fun and sweet and fluffy. All the best from Susi Hawke. Hollydale is such a fun and sweet town!!

A Wonderful Story

This is the tenth book in The Hollydale Omegas Series. A delightful book the writing was good. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were developed and thought out. Gabe and Cody are the MC’s of this book. The narration was great, the narrator had different voices and wasn’t monotone and was expressive. I can recommend this book as a good read. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

MMy Thoughts and Review:

This lil Holiday gem is exactly the recipe to keep you warm on those cold winter nights. With quirky and eccentric characters to keep the one liners hopping, sweet moments that turn MCs from strangers to business partners, to friends, to lovers, to parents, to being in love, and with just enough kick from the nice but oh so naughty scenes to keep you coming back for more this is the perfect Holiday/ winter read.

Topher the really fun and quirky employee and Gabe's prepubescent niece and nephew are a hoot and a half with all their antics. Keeping Uncle Gabe on his toes when an emergency strikes close to home. Thankfully Cody is there to pull his butt from the proverbial fire before more happens than just a little eyeshadow and nail polish on his body (the niece's handiwork) like the police knocking down the door thanks to a security breach at the kids' school, (the nephew's hacker handiwork). Kids today are so much more clever than we were! We had big hair, frogger, and lawn darts...don't ask!😂

Hollydale is truly a special little place and I love how everyone cares and takes care of each other. Even the ghosts of Christmases past and Elves do their part to ensure the enchanting environment that is Hollydale.

So whether you like your chestnuts roasted before juiced into a smoothie, or your eggnog with or without Santa's special spicy sauce, thanks to Susi Hawke and Drew Becca (narrator) you've found the perfect recipe to keep you warm in this Holiday novie.

Another Great Story

I received an ARC of this audio for my honest review. Great story about Gabe and Cody with their friends with benefits. This story is like the others in this series, it's funny, cute and sweet. Tofer the Christmas elf makes an appearance. Once I started listening to this story I couldn't put it down. Love Susi's books and Drew does a great job narrating.

Hollydale love!!!

I absolutely love the Hollydale series!! Gabe and Cody make a great couple. I loved how this story broke the typical alpha/omega stereotypes. Drew Bacca has nailed the narration of this series.

Another sweet addition to the couples of Hollydale

Gabe is ready to find a home and a mate. He's ready to give up his rowdy and frivolous ways in order to get to know his brother and his family. All he has to do is prove to his brother that he is really going to stay and be responsible for once. Hence, he needs a job.

Cody has a dream of opening a vegan smoothy shop. Unfortunately, because he doesn't have any capital, he's just been denied the bank loan he was counting on in order to get the business started. Queue Gabe showing up and asking about the business. After reading the business plan, Gabe offers to fund the business if Cody will run it; with one caveat: Gabe has to work there.

Everyone knows you don't mix business with pleasure, but before the contract is signed? All bets are off. I was happy to see that Cody was not one of the simpering omegas that just fall into their baby's Alpha father's arms the minute they find out they're pregnant. But, in the end, it all worked out for the best. The epilogue was nice and we get our happily ever after.

Oh! There's a blast from the past character that long-time readers/listeners will be happy to see, too!

Drew Bacca did a great job with this one as well as the others. He makes the stories fun and light, just as they are meant to be.

The Playboy and the Juice Maker

I love this Hollydale Omegas series by Susi Hawke and I always devour each new tale as it becomes available. Drew Bacca always does an excellent job of bringing the guys to life.
This chapter in the Hollydale saga features Cody, currently a waiter at the Sausage Shack who has now earned his Business degree after several years of courses, and he's written up his business plan for his Nut Juices shop that he's been aiming to start-up for years. He's even got the perfect location if he can find the financing to lease the space, but he's disappointed when the bank won't take a chance on him as he has no collateral, but when he walks into Gabe, who has come to town looking to settle down and reconnect with his older brother Rafe and his family, the perfect opportunity presents itself to both men.
I love how they work together to get the Nut Juices flowing and make a successful go of their new start.
Highly recommended for all lovers of MPreg and quirky, fun Omegas and the Alphas that they manage to tame.

Awesome

I really enjoyed this holiday audiobook.
I was a very sweet story.
I can’t wait to listen to more from Susi.

Another solid addition to the series!

This was another great installment in this series. You need to have read the previous installments (if not all, at least a few) because there are a lot of recurring characters and they all have some sort of paranormal element in common.

I wasn't too sure what to think of Gabe at first, although I was more willing to giving him a chance than his older brother Rafe was. He grew on me, though, and I liked that he was willing to work hard with Cody to make their business a success and that he was so supportive of Cody overall. I liked Cody and I thought he was great with Gabe. His reticence to marry Gabe made Gabe put more of an effort in their relationship and realize that this was what he really wanted.

As always, it was great catching up with Tom and especially Tofer, he's such a sweetheart and I hope this isn't the last we see of him.

The book was sweet and hot and just a tad angsty for good measure. Drew Bacca did a great job with this book, his voice is very pleasant and he really brings the characters to life. Having him singing as Tom and Colin was definitely a highlight for me!

Recommendable!

Another one for Tofa

This is another Hollydale masterpiece, as I was listening I kept thinking this sounds so very familiar, but somehow better. On investigating my kindle, I read it a few months ago. Listening to it now made me remember, but with lots of new inflections. All these books are feel good even though all the characters have difficult starts in life. Gabe and Cody are two such characters. As the blurb says, this is full of Fluff and Feels, it’s a lovely holiday romance and Drew Becca as usual is exceptional with the voices. It is really good to spend a book with our favourite bouncy Elf.

Back to Hollydale

A short and sweet story that shows the meaning of family.

I really like the Hollydale series because it shows how family don’t have to be blood to be true. In Nutmeg Spiced Omega Gabe (who’s brother Rafe was in book 1) comes to Hollydale. Looking to build a relationship with his brother starts a chain of events and results in him meeting Cody. I really liked both main characters. Gabe was trying to change his reputation and how he set about this endeared him to me. Cody has so many walls and I loved discovering why these walls were in place. The ensemble of side characters were hilarious and sweet. Tom is crazy, in a good way!, and Tofer is sooooo sweet. Good narration from Drew Bacca - clear and crisp with nice differentiation between the characters.

A great sweet read!

Short, Sweet and Fluffy.

This is only the third Hollydale book I’ve read so I don’t know all the characters but I really enjoyed this sweet, fluffy read and liked that it's short and sweet and gives you all the feels and sweetness you’d expect from Susi Hawke Mpreg. It was the perfect quick read to liven and lighten up my day!!

I must say I loved Tofer and his somewhat confusing, yet, all-knowing presence. I presume he’s been in other books based on the other characters' responses to him but I still found his hilarious.

I really enjoyed Gabe and Cody’s story and I liked that there was more to their pasts and desires than meets the eye. I also liked that this was a little different from the last two in terms of (accidental) pregnancy, friends-with-benefits and Gabe had to fight and prove to Cody that he would be there and truly wanted more!

A great sweet read to make you happy and get you out of a book funk!!

Thanks for reading!

a short and sweet story

This is a great quick listen, it was the perfect accompaniment to my pre Christmas grocery shop. Gabe is tired of the playboy lifestyle that he has been living and decides that he wants an Omega and a family. He soon meets the fiercely independent Omega, Cody and they go into business together. Mixing business with pleasure leads to an unexpected pregnancy and Gabe might just get everything he wished for.

Family

This is a series that grows just like a family and this book is no exception Gabe is Rafe from book one's estranged younger brother who has come to town to reconnect. Cody is wanting to open a smoothie shop but the bank has turned him down. When they meet it is a match made. Throw in Topher to help things along and you get another classic Hollydale book.
With Drew Bacca’s voice a sure fire winner.

Nutty love!

Gabe is a wealthy Alpha looking to settle down. He finds Cody with a great project at hand to comply with his brother’s demands. They are insta friends with benefits but is there more? I enjoyed this funny and sweet story with quirky and lovely characters. Specially Tofer and Thomas. They are a hoot. Loved the happily ever after too and the narrator makes the story light up.

Loved

I loved listening to this book and following Cody and Gabe as they start their business relationship being personal leading to an unplanned pregnancy. With Gabe trying woo Cody as he has past issues and insecurities to deal with. Brilliant narrator brought the story to life.
