About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey delivers a sexy, hilarious standalone holiday rom-com about the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert….

Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life…and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.

Beat Dawkins, the lead singer’s son, is Melody’s opposite—the camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader. Still, they might have been best friends if not for the legendary feud that broke up the band. When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it’s nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show.

While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

Entertaining & cute but just a little bit cringey…

I really enjoyed the main storyline for this novel, it was fun and fairly unique which kept me coming back for more. Unfortunately, I found that the “spicy” elements came across a little bit cringe. They took away from the main plot, and it felt a little bit like two separate books mashed together. Both elements were good, but I think they might have worked better in separate books.

Not the best.

I thought this was entertaining enough for a “leave on in the background while I’m Christmas cooking,” type of book. However other than the date countdown you would have no idea it was a Christmas read. The female narrator was good, the male, well, his female voice had me laughing so much I kept missing the story and had to go back. All in all it was ok.
