About this listen

A single mother working in a thrift store. A gentle giant farmer who can’t find jeans that fit. When opposites attract, they find themselves making alterations in more ways than one in this smoking-hot short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey.

Evie Crowe is starting over in a strange town with her newborn, and men are the furthest thing from her mind. If only the quiet, hulking farmer, Luke Ward, would stop coming into the thrift shop and piquing her reluctant interest. Evie wants to stay single all the way—she can’t trust anything more than friends-with-holiday-benefits. But Luke is in it for the long haul. He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

Tessa Bailey’s Merry Ever After is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

I enjoy Tessa Baileys stories but this unfortunately didn’t live up to the hype of a Tessa Bailey book in my opinion.

💕Likes💕:
💕Feisty, self-assured FMC
💕 he falls firsts vibes
💕how the single motherhood is only a small portion of her identity, she’s a creative & designer & sexy as hell

☕️Not my cuppa ☕️:
☕️This book is overall focused at times on him not having pants that fit.
☕️ I found the dirty talk was cringe at times like “ what’s this little dress called “ “Get the straps down and show me them tits”

🎤Narrators🎤:
Summer Morton & Connor Crais - they were great and really embodied the characterisation given.

🏆Tropes🏆:
🏆Single mother
🏆He falls first
🏆Insta love story

Which reader will love this:
I think if you enjoy the style of dirty talk - which is a big part of the book you will overall enjoy this book.

Not the TessaBaileymas I was hoping for

What great little listen, a very quick story obviously but still touching. I’d listen to anything Connor Craig’s narrates

So cute but sexy!
