Resting Grinch Face

A Holiday Revenge Romantic Comedy (Frost Brothers, Book 5)

De: Alina Jacobs

Narrado por: Leah Mallach, Gideon Frost

I might not be able to ruin his life, but I will ruin his Christmas. Yeah, I’m totally a grinch. But I come by it honestly. Because of Oliver Frost, I flamed out of college in the most humiliating way possible. Now I’m back in my small town—just in time to suffer through a display of small-town Christmas cheer so festive it will make you puke your eggnog. But who cares about being home for the holidays when you live with your family like a loser and have to share one bathroom with seven other people?

I plan to spend my Christmas purgatory being tsked at by elderly residents and passive-aggressively prodded by my mom’s friends about what I plan to do with my life. I don’t know, Deborah, work in the Christmas market and get screamed at by tourists because I didn’t put enough sprinkles on their little brats’ coffees? Seriously, who gives five-year-olds that much caffeine anyway?!

See? Like I said. A grinch.
I hate Christmas.
I set a nativity scene on fire.
Got in a fistfight with an elf—I lost, by the way.
And threw a vat of Snowman Surprise all over Oliver. Don’t ask. Small-town Christmas insanity.
Sleigh what? Oliver is here???
The man who humiliated me and ruined my life?

Ho ho ho, f**k no.

He doesn’t deserve a quaint small-town Christmas or a fancy Christmas tree from my family’s farm.
He should be haunted like Ebenezer Scrooge by the Ghost of Christmas Past. Or at least the Ghost of Hookups Past.

Momma’s gonna have herself a very merry Christmas revenge.
Swapping the salt and sugar so his Christmas cookies are ruined? Be still, my shriveled little heart.
Spying on him so I can gather recon to ruin his holidate? Damn, I forgot how ripped his chest was.
Sneaking down his chimney to steal all the presents under his tree? Amateur hour.
Until I get caught....

Guess I’m spending Christmas in jail.
But when he sees I’m not wearing a bra under my ugly Christmas sweater, Oliver smiles like Santa has come early.
Crap! I knew I should have worn my good underwear!

Hold on to your stockings because the eggnog is spicy and mostly booze. This is a f**k-second-chances, Santa-stalker, holiday-revenge romantic comedy. Featuring Christmas-hating heroines with poor decision-making skills, ripped guys who will leave a very large package under your tree, and adorable corgis dressed up as reindeer, this stand-alone book has a happily ever after, guaranteed!

yes, yes yes!

such a good listen it made me laugh so many times and it’s such a cute romance. Give this a listen it is definitely a five star!

Should have a trigger warning.

The voice actors did a great job. The story however, was only fine and should have trigger warnings. Not to spoil a huge plot point or anything, but when a grown man is accused of having sex with an 11-year-old that’s not just something to brush off and act like it’s no big deal which is essentially what happened after like, one chapter. Whether he did it or not that is a big deal, and the deadbeat mother slaps her 11-year-old when she thinks she might be pregnant. None of this is Christmas Rom-Com appropriate. The protagonist is not incredibly likable, but she has moments of being funny. The family which is supposed to be lovingly dysfunctional isn’t very likable either. Overall, by the end, I wasn’t really rooting for any of them.

Ho!Ho!Ho!

The rom-coms keep getting better and better! Alina sure can keep you laughing and smiling right to the end, with a surprise included!

Wonderful book yet too much explicit sex for me

Loved the book! So hilarious! I listened to the entire series. I must admit, I am sure I would not have enjoyed just reading them as must as listening to the narrators. Such talented actors. I would love to have this job. Wish I knew how to get into narration. I have dubbed animated children series once.

My one critic is that there is for me much too much sex. Yet, this is just my opinion. I just fast forward and continued with the storyline. I am sure many may enjoy this.

My favorite frost brothers book

This was my favorite of all the frost brothers books. It’s cute and sexy but fun.
