My Greatest Joy

De: Brooke Fox

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Aiden Snow

There’s a reason I hate the holidays, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the literal nightmare of flying three thousand miles in the middle of December.

When my coworker gets the flu, I reluctantly volunteer to take their assignment to write a piece on Vermont’s most famous Christmas small town.

After a delayed flight and driving through a blizzard in a minivan to a mountain cabin in the middle of nowhere, I find myself mixed up in a rental scam.

It’s bad enough the owner walks into my room naked and accuses me of breaking in, but then he tells me all the roads into town are closed. Even if I could leave, all the hotels are booked with tourists for the winter festival.

Even worse, his house is decorated like the North Pole.

Like I said, a nightmare.

The only perk about being snowed in with a lumberjack is that he’s accustomed to the cold and lets me steal his body heat in the middle of the night.

But then that turns into more, and even when I try to resist, I can’t help getting attached. It’ll never work out because we live on opposite sides of the country and have nothing in common.

Except, maybe we do…

My Greatest Joy was previously published as “The Joy of Us” by Kennedy Fox. The bonus chapter and bonus scene are not included in the audiobook version, but you can find them now on my website.

the wonderful narrators did such an awesome job giving Kennedy Fox's story a true voice.

Heartwarming Holiday Romance

Fallon and Levi’s story was a sweet, heartwarming holiday romance. These two were complete opposites, Levi loves Christmas and owns a tree farm while Fallon dislikes it due to her past and is sent to a small-town to write an article about his tree farm. They get stranded together during a blizzard and I loved watching them get to know each other, all of the playful banter between them and all of the swoony moments as he showed her around the town. I loved that she got to see the magic of the town and the people.

The narration from Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow brought this story and Fallon and Levi’s personalities to life and I enjoyed listening to both of them. I have enjoyed this entire series and Levi and Fallon’s story was a perfect way to end it.

All the Christmas feels!!

It’s whitty and romantic and very Christmas. I love this time of year but 2024 has been the worst for me- this gave me all the feels and a nice little bubble of escape.

Andi and Aiden are the absolute best narrators! They stunn in this romantic Christmas book.

Add this to your holiday TBR!

This was such a delightful holiday story, kicking off with forced proximity thanks to a rental scam and a snowstorm. Fallon and Levi may be complete opposites, but I loved Levi's unwavering determination to bring the joy of Christmas back into her life.

Levi works on his family's Christmas tree farm, and his dog, Dasher, absolutely steals the show. Meanwhile, Fallon, a journalist nicknamed The Grinch by those who know her, wants nothing to do with the holidays--making her immersion in all things Christmas all the more entertaining.

My Greatest Joy is packed with witty banter and undeniable chemistry that will have you laughing and fully immersed in the holiday spirit. I'm so glad I grabbed the audiobook--it's definitely one I'll be listening to every year!

A story to enjoy even when it isn't the holidays!!

Aiden Snow as a Christmas loving man....sign me up. This reverse grumpy/sunshine is a fantastic audio. Andi and Aiden are a great narrating team. I was honestly sad that it ended so soon.

Don't wait for the holiday season to listen to this wonderful story of a grumpy journalist that finds herself in quite the predicament when the cabin she thinks she is renting is in fact lived in by a Christmas loving man whose family owns a tree farm. The meet cute (or not so cute) will have you laughing out loud. The way these two banter back and forth and fight their attraction makes the story even more delicious.

My favorite from the whole series!

I think out of all the Love in Isolation stories, The Joy of Us is hands down my favorite. There is just something about the way this story plays out that makes my heart happy and sing! I mean, the way that Fallon and Levi are initially introduced to each other had me laughing so hard. Having Arndt and Snow give life to Fallon and Levi was absolute perfection. I loved how these two just melted into the characters that they portray.
This whole story to me was about how to find that spirit within your soul not just with Christmas but life in general. My heart hurt so much for the reasons as to why Fallon didn’t celebrate the holidays anymore but Levi made her see the beauty in it. I have always loved books from Kennedy Fox, and Hunter and Travis are still my top faves but Levi has a very special place in my heart for his giving soul and so much more. This story is full of the feels, the laughs and so much more. Great read for the holidays!

Mrs. Grinch. say less lol

I absolutely loved being back in Maplewood Falls. Seriously the descriptions and hearing about people's first reactions as they explore the town just makes me wanna be there.

We got to know Fallon and Levi in this one. From their very first crazy and painful (IYKYK 😅) interaction, I just knew I was gonna adore these two. Honestly I related to Fallon's grinchiness so much. She had me laughing over and over saying - yep, same girl, yep same. Levi on the other hand is born and bred with an intense Christmas spirit. He's also the cutest dog dad. So the pairing was really comical yet it helped break down so many walls for them both.

Loved getting to see book 1's characters come back in this one also. Such a fun holiday read. The audio hit the nail on the head too by having the best narrators capture all the chaotic action and banter. It was exactly what I needed! Highly recommend this series for some great seasonal reads.

A Fun Opposites Attract!

An MMC that loves Christmas and an FMC that despises it? Sign me up!

I really enjoyed the audio of My Greatest Joy by Brooke Fox. Performed in dual narration style Andi Arndt and Aiden Snow did a really good job of performing the roles of the main characters as well as the side characters.

After a rental scam leaves Fallon literally running into a not so dressed Levi (the owner of the home), he offers her a place to stay so she's not left without a rental during the holiday.

Their banter was so fun, the spice was SPICING, and I just adored how they helped one another learn and discover new things about themselves. This was a really fun and quick listen - 4 stars!

The Grinch meets Santa!

I am thoroughly in love with this book and all the characters. The narrators really helped you feel like you were in Levi and Fallons' shoes. Levi is the good hearted, dedicated, town playboy and Fallon is witty, jaded and a holiday grinch. She is in town for a work assignment. The town encompasses everything Christmas, you cant help but fall in love. These two meet in the most crazy way and are forced to stay together cause of the weather. Levi realizes real quick Fallon is someone he needs to get to know better so he sets out to gently woo her in the most wonderful of ways and during the most magical time of year. The chemistry between these two is so scorching hot. I really enjoyed all the cliches and witty phrases. These two were a hoot. I just love their HEA. Another amazing book in this series.

I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Holiday goodness with Levi and Fallon!

I really like how this book really flips some tropes upside down. Fallon doesn’t love Christmas, but Levi does and I love how he goes about showing her the true joy of the season. Levi is determined to show Fallon that there’s still a lot of hope and love during this holiday season. Their first meeting is an eye opening experience, but I really like Levi’s personality, his happiness and uplifting spirit and how he works to change Fallon’s mind. The audio with Aiden Snow and Andi Arndt was great! Andi’s cynical voice and Fallon’s enthusiasm was evident, and I love how the narrators brought such life to the story, but also showed so clearly the changes the characters go through as the story progresses. Highly recommend the audio!
