The Twelve Dates of Christmas

By: Andi James, Lila Wilde

Narrated by: Michael Lesley

One lonely lawyer. Twelve blind dates. Finding his special someone will take a Christmas miracle.

Aiden would rather eat an entire fruitcake than face his ex and his ex’s new boyfriend at their company holiday party - especially by himself. So, when his best friend suggests he find some arm candy, Aiden reluctantly agrees to a few blind dates.

Aiden doesn’t expect a dozen perfect matches, but one disastrous night after another is killing his Christmas spirit, and time is running out. There has to be a special guy out there Aiden can kiss under the mistletoe. Right?

The Twelve Dates of Christmas is a 31,000-word MM romance featuring five horny singles, four garlic cheese fries, three IPAs, two naked trees, and a jingle bell head injury. This feel-good story is filled with humor, heart, and a happy-ever-after perfect for the holidays.

Big fan of Michael’s

I love Michael Lesley style of narration, so that’s what brought me to the book. I’m so glad it did, this was such a great book and I love the authors style and humor. Will be looking for more projects done by them

Short and sweet

Lovely story, outstanding narration!
Really enjoyed listening to Aiden's journey of 11 failed dates to see what/who was in front of him all the time. Chelsea was a riot!
Michael Lesley was fantastic!

A Cute Christmas Story

I had read this book (a couple of times it turns out!), but I really liked the audio version more than I thought I would. Initially I thought the pacing was just a hair fast HOWEVER that is made up for by the voicing of the female character. Aiden's best friend Chelsea plays a not insignificant part of this story. Sometimes I struggle when male narrators voice female characters, but Michael Lesley did a great job there and that really makes the narration worth it to me. I really, really enjoyed how bad Aiden's dates were (that trivia game though--WELL PLAYED). Sometimes it can be uncomfortable watching one MC date other people, but in this case the dates were so bad that it's funny instead of uncomfortable. Overall a super cute Christmas story that I'm still listening to even though it's February because if 2020 taught us anything why not?

Cute & Sweet!!

This was a really cute, sweet and charming Christmas story. Very low on angst. It's also very low on steam, but was still charming enough to make up for it.

As for the narration. I know this is probably personal preference, but I didn't like the narration at all. It was pulling me out of the story, especially with the laughing. But, it wasn't awful, so I still gave it 3 stars for that part.

Adorable

This is honestly the cutest story ever! Expertly narrated by Michael Lesley. This narrator has the skill to identify the hidden nuance behind everything he reads. I wish there were more books read by him. Quick listen. Minimal smexy times. Just delightful! Highly recommend.
