Mistaken identity, drunk texts, and hysterical mishaps...just another day in my life. Girls all over the world spill the tea to me about their most intimate questions. They thank me for talking about sex with them. For fixing their love lives. I wonder if I’d still be a relationship influencer if they knew what a train wreck my own love life is? If I was writing anyone else advice, it would say things like: Never drunk-text your ex-boyfriend. No, seriously, that’s a terrible idea.

Publisher's summary
This holiday season, there’s more than gingerbread in the oven.
I was always a type-A kind of girl - and that’s exactly what got me into trouble with Sterling Ahren.
Having a baby before 30 didn’t work out, so I took some time off to sort out my life. Sterling’s my new landlord...and he doesn’t plan anything.
He’s a billionaire playboy who can’t stand the holidays. A recluse of the worst kind, Sterling makes Scrooge look like a generous soul...except Ebenezer was never this sexy.
He doesn’t want a family - until the night we have a spontaneous one-night stand, and forget to use condoms. I can’t have a baby with a disorganized free spirit like him. Between my overprotective brothers and his crazy fans, I already know this isn’t going to work out.
Except Sterling isn’t willing to let me go. He wants me home for the holidays...and this is my last chance to make a Christmas miracle happen.
One thing I know for sure: When Sterling and I collide, it’s going to be anything but a silent night.
Funny, touching, and delightful, this smoking hot billionaire holiday rom-com by Claudia Burgoa will make you feel the magic of Christmas.

Enjoyed
I enjoyed listening-reading this story last night. It felt like a little novella. It was nice to see June and Sterling and their journey of friendship. I read the series out of order so this one filled in missing pieces to the puzzle. Bonus was Aaron, Emma and Sebastian. They are my top tier narrators. They connected well to their characters.

Charming Holiday Rom-COm
Once Upon A Holiday by Claudia Burgoa was a favorite on my Christmas romance list. Sterling is a reclusive billionaire artist. June is an agent with a plan for her life that doesn’t include handsome, arrogant, charismatic men. Juniper grew up with three protective brothers and a twin sister. Sterling had a privileged childhood devoid of loving affection. She yearns for a family while he refuses to carry on the Ahern name. I loved her big family; her brothers are hilarious, and her twin sister is great. I loved this opposites-attract, who hurt you, holiday romance. An unlikely pair destined for one another makes the heart flutter. Add in holiday festivities and a surprise pregnancy, and this heartfelt, touching rom-com is a perfect steamy romp.
Aaron Shedlock is swoon-worthy as the seemingly aloof, silver-tongued playboy Sterling. Emma Wilder is enchanting as the over-thinking, ultra-planner Juniper. A cameo from Sebastian York was delightful as June’s grumbly, over-protective brother. If you enjoy humorous, Christmasy, snow-filled romance with lots of heart, you’ll love Once Upon A Holiday.

A Heartwarming Delight! Fabulous Story & Listen🎧
Wow, this book is amazing, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it all the way to the end. I have been loving this series, each book features a different Spearman sibling, starting with Jackson’s story in book one, followed by Jason’s story in book two, and this one is their sister June’s story. They all stand on their own, but characters do crossover into each other’s books and it is always great to see them again, like seeing an old friend. Jane always wanted a family, but she had not had the best of luck with meeting someone to spend her life with, so she decided she would make her own family. Getting pregnant may not come easy for her, but she found a clinic who specializes in her needs and it is near her brother Jackson’s house, and she plans on spending the month of December in Colorado. Finding a place to live is a challenge and when she calls to ask about a certain property, a rude and unprofessional man answers the phone. Sterling Ahren, a well-known artist who has a reputation with the ladies, and he has gained a few stalkers over the years. He has little faith in women, thinks they just want him for his fame and money, but a certain women catches his attention in more ways than one and the good thing is she has no clue who he really is. He is at an advantage since his smoking hot one-night stand does not know he is the one who she is looking to rent a property from. I loved these two together and for each other, Sterling the grumpy loner and June the go-getter who makes things happen, including getting Sterling to shine for the holidays and see families in a different light. This wonderfully written and plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, humor and witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. It is a holiday story that you can enjoy any time of the year, it will put a smile on your face and warm your heart. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Claudia Burgoa, once again, casts the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Aaron Shedlock, Emma Wilder and Sebastian York returning as Jackson, are amazing at what they do and perform their roles so well they have you believing they are the actual characters making it easy to find your fulling immerse in the story and who the characters truly are. Emma Wilder’s June was spot on, the confident go-getter that she was and Aaron Shedlock played the grumpy, hardened Sterling and softened as he did. Sebastian York’s Jackson was as fabulous as I remembered him to be in the first book, Maybe Later. They were also amazing performing the roles of all the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance and they captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Love the spearman family
June is a strong woman but boy does her family try to manage every part of her life. She’s decided to take control and go after what she’s always wanted. Sometimes your “planned” path ends up with a curve.
That curve turns out to be Sterling Spearman. He’s a bit uptight and tends to stay away from the public eye due to his successful art career. However one person can help him see the dinner part of life.
June and Sterling are hot, hot, hot and really enjoy one another’s company. But will they be able to keep it to a one night, casual event? Only time will tell.
Aaron Sheldock, Emma Wilder and Sebastian York do an amazing job with giving these characters great voices and emotion.

June finally gets her HEA!!
I love these Spearmans so hard! June has been instrumental in helping out all her siblings but she has a secret. She's the youngest of the bunch ( by 5 minutes and her twin never let's her forget it. lol!)
Even though she's more than capable of running her own life as well as her business and always coming in to fix/help her siblings they treat her like a toddler.
She's been wanting a family of her own but prince charming always turns into a frog.
Enter Sterling, carefree billionaire with a crazy fan base for his artwork. But, he's not as carefree as June first thought and soon finds why he's been so closed off, even from his family. .
I love how The Spearman just envelop whoever loves their siblings and that includes mama and papa Spearman.
Sterling and June get their HEA and a few surprises. LOVED that epilogue!!
Narration by Emma Wilder, Aaron Shedlock and one cameo chapter with Sebastian York.
If you love funny and steamy with your romance this book has it in spades!

One of my favourite audiobooks so far!
You know an audiobook is good when you binge listen it from start to finish in a day. I hadn't read this one as an ebook/paperback first and right from the start I was invested in this couple. The narrators absolutely nailed this one, I highly recommend grabbing this one on audio!
This couple complimented each other so well! I loved seeing Sterling's tough exterior crumble and him letting himself open up to loving June and wanting to change his life to fit into hers. This one has plenty of steam, plus some funny moments, particularly when June's family were around. Sterling and June's story is definitely one I can see myself re-reading again and again.

Engaging holiday romance
Between Sterling's attitude and June's penchant for ridiculous and embarrassing situations, this holiday romance is a riot. It isn't hard to figure out where this story was going, but it sure is fun getting there. If you're looking for an angsty, slow-burn romance, this is not it. This one isn't a slow-burn anything, and once these two get together, it's like a whirlwind. In the end, I suppose June and Sterling do the whole relationship thing a bit backward, but it somehow works for these characters. This one isn't as angsty as some of the books I've read by this author. It's more lighthearted, and it is definitely laugh-out-loud funny. This one is totally a fun bit of escapism for the holidays.
That's what I wrote when I read the book, and as it turns out, Once Upon a Holiday is a fun bit of escapism for any time. Of course, it's hard to beat the performances of the narrators: Aaron Shedlock, Emma Wilder, and Sebastian York. The emotion and humor, and yes, the chemistry between Sterling and June, come through wonderfully. If you've followed the series, you'll recognize Jackson as well when he makes an appearance in all his overbearing big brother glory.
Once Upon a Time was already an entertaining and engaging read, so the narration just added another layer to the experience. It's as hard to hit pause as it was to close the book.

June and Sterling!
June is close to her family and has found professional success but her dreams of romantic love and children of her own have never been realized. She has come to a point in her life where she wants to be a mother and is making arrangements to have this experience solo.
Sterling has achieved professional success beyond his dreams but that has only made him more determined that love and relationships are not for him. When it comes to relationships, they are casual and short term which has suited him and his lifestyle perfectly.
From the moment that June and Sterling meet the chemistry between them is electric. What was supposed to be one night has turned into something more but is it enough to turn their fling into forever?
These two couldn’t have been more different both in personalities or lifestyle or a better match as they take us on a sweet and sexy their journey that wasn’t without its challenges. The narrators managed to portray all the feelings of the story and the heartwarming characters.

June & Sterling!
This family is packed full of family drama and so much love that I am immediately taken each time I start their stories. After Jackson and Jason's stories, I couldn't wait to dive into June's! She is the youngest of the siblings, and is making some decisions about her life without the guidance or overbearing advice from them. Now in Denver, she finds herself ready to hopefully start her own family with the help of a fertility clinic specializing in her needs. She is spending the month of December there, and in need of a one month rental. She encounters the most rude man alive trying to get a place, and she is not giving up despite his attitude. Sterling is an artist, handsome, rich and plagued with stalkers. He has no patience with people, but when he sees June in a restaurant bathroom, he is immediately taken. Figuring there is no reason not to enjoy herself, she takes him up on a one night stand, no names and no numbers. But one night is not enough, and the that is when things really begin. This is a fun filled story with lots of passion, over protective brothers and surprises that are life changing. It's a great escape into a family that I feel a part of, all due to the wonderful world Claudia Burgoa has created. I cannot wait until the next one!
Aaron Shedlock and Emma Wilder are our narrating team and these two are on fire! Shedlock plays the broody, yet charismatic Sterling. He is so good at this that I can actually see Sterling in all his moods. Wilder is June, emotional, hesitant and defiant! Add in a cameo by Sebastian York as Jackson tops it all off making this one fantastic listen!

A Heartwarming Delight! Fabulous Story & Listen🎧
Wow, this book is amazing, it grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it all the way to the end. I have been loving this series, each book features a different Spearman sibling, starting with Jackson’s story in book one, followed by Jason’s story in book two, and this one is their sister June’s story. They all stand on their own, but characters do crossover into each other’s books and it is always great to see them again, like seeing an old friend. Jane always wanted a family, but she had not had the best of luck with meeting someone to spend her life with, so she decided she would make her own family. Getting pregnant may not come easy for her, but she found a clinic who specializes in her needs and it is near her brother Jackson’s house, and she plans on spending the month of December in Colorado. Finding a place to live is a challenge and when she calls to ask about a certain property, a rude and unprofessional man answers the phone. Sterling Ahren, a well-known artist who has a reputation with the ladies, and he has gained a few stalkers over the years. He has little faith in women, thinks they just want him for his fame and money, but a certain women catches his attention in more ways than one and the good thing is she has no clue who he really is. He is at an advantage since his smoking hot one-night stand does not know he is the one who she is looking to rent a property from. I loved these two together and for each other, Sterling the grumpy loner and June the go-getter who makes things happen, including getting Sterling to shine for the holidays and see families in a different light. This wonderfully written and plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, humor and witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. It is a holiday story that you can enjoy any time of the year, it will put a smile on your face and warm your heart. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Claudia Burgoa, once again, casts the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Aaron Shedlock, Emma Wilder and Sebastian York returning as Jackson, are amazing at what they do and perform their roles so well they have you believing they are the actual characters making it easy to find your fulling immerse in the story and who the characters truly are. Emma Wilder’s June was spot on, the confident go-getter that she was and Aaron Shedlock played the grumpy, hardened Sterling and softened as he did. Sebastian York’s Jackson was as fabulous as I remembered him to be in the first book, Maybe Later. They were also amazing performing the roles of all the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance and they captured all the character’s emotions and had you feeling every single one. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.

Swoony Sterling!
Gah! I'd forgotten how much of a swoonfest Sterling Ahern was! I fell in love all over again with Juniper and Sterling's story. It was funny, hot AF, and so heart-melting. Emma Wilder was fabulous as always and had a very convincing male voice. I enjoyed Aaron's narration in the main but I wasn't always keen on his delivery. However, it didn't detract from this fantastic story. Loved it!

Always a great read
Claudia never disappoints and luckily always has the couple together but still with hiccups. Nothing worse than a long separation due to no communication. Audible have the best people reading these stories.

Mistaken identity, drunk texts, and hysterical mishaps...just another day in my life. Girls all over the world spill the tea to me about their most intimate questions. They thank me for talking about sex with them. For fixing their love lives. I wonder if I’d still be a relationship influencer if they knew what a train wreck my own love life is? If I was writing anyone else advice, it would say things like: Never drunk-text your ex-boyfriend. No, seriously, that’s a terrible idea.

He was a rockstar. A legend. And a single father. I should’ve stayed away. I just couldn’t resist him. We were happy until he texted. We need to talk. The last famous words. But I knew I needed to let him go. It was over. We were never meant to be together. Just like everyone else, he left. I couldn’t handle touring with his rock band and a relationship.
