The Holiday List

The Script Club, Book 4

De: Lane Hayes

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese

The Mars maestro, the single dad, and a wish list....

Chet

Boy, am I lucky! Finding a living situation with a houseful of passionate scientists just before the holidays is ideal in every possible way. As the newest member of the Script Club, I feel it’s important to step up and tackle the to-do list my friends would prefer to avoid. Item one: Address the tutoring request from the neighborhood-hottie-slash-single-dad on the next block. I’ve got this!

Or do I?

Handsome, older, sporty gentlemen intimidate me. And Mr. McSwoony doesn’t like the holidays. This may be a daunting task.

Sam

What do you do when a new neighbor shows up on your doorstep with cookies and a wacky plan to spread holiday cheer? I don’t need cheer, but I could use help with some of the experiments my son wants to try. I know football, not science. Hopefully, I can talk Chet into a mutually beneficial trade. The only snag is that I’m seriously attracted to my local Mars expert. He’s unintentionally charming…in the very best way.

Don’t quote me, but maybe this holiday elf with thick glasses and a mile-long list might be exactly what I need.

The Holiday List is an MM bisexual, geek/jock romance with a holiday twist featuring a lovable scientist and a single dad who’s probably on the naughty list!

Awe!! so sweet

This is just the sweetest story. A touch of geek and the football referee, makes for a sweet Holiday tale. Nothing better than the HEA of a Christmas Romance.... Great addition to this series. Alexander Cendese does a great job bring this book and its characters to life. well worth the credit and your time to listen.

Charming

I love a sweet holiday romance, and i have a soft spot for geeks. This lovely holiday HEA left me with all the warm feeks.

cute couple

I love these quick, flirty, sexy books. no drama, no complications, the tension is external like snow, or fights. sometimes you want and easy story

Great when I read it, even better when I listened

The audiobook for The Holiday List came out pretty quickly after I read the ebook but I listened to it as if I hadn’t just read it. What I mean is that Alexander Cendese’s performance of the story was such that it was like I didn’t already know the story and I listened to it intently. He has the perfect voices for the characters in this series and I love how he puts so much emotion into the story.

Below is what I said when I reviewed the ebook just over a week ago:

I really enjoy single dad stories; add in the Christmas holidays and it’s a big win for me. While this book is part of a great series, I think it can be enjoyed as a standalone story. You should check out the entire series though, because the other books are great, too.

Sam is kind of a grumpy single dad who doesn’t do any kind of decorating for the holidays. He insists that his son gets enough of that at his papa’s (Sam’s ex). Chet is the newest addition to The Script Club group that started out as a club for roommates sharing a house. The other guys helped Chet out of a bad housing situation so he volunteered to do several things that none of the others wanted to do. One of those things was to approach their neighbor whose son they consider to be a bit of a handful. Turns out that son was into science and just needed someone to give him a guiding hand.

Chet not only agrees to help Sam’s son, Linc, with scientific experiments, he also gets grumpy Sam to agree to let him decorate his house for Christmas. Chet is quickly in lust with Sam but it turns into much more after he gets to know Linc and after Chet and Sam are stuck together in a cabin after a big snow storm.

This was a quick read but I loved every bit of it. It has great holiday feels and I loved watching Sam change how he felt about Christmas and family.

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Good story. Good narration.

This was a sweet, slightly sappy, holiday addition to the script club series. I am a Christmas Grinch myself so I could relate to Sam's ambivalence towards the holidays, but Chet would be very hard to resist in Christmas elf mode...

Alexander Cendese's performance was a great way to absorb a sweet holiday story.
