Resumen del Editor

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne—and her real-life husband and high school sweetheart, Anthony LeDonne—comes a new holiday rom-com that is sure to warm even the coldest heart.

Katherine, an ambitious New York City attorney, gets diagnosed with a concussion and must be monitored for forty-eight hours to make sure it doesn’t get worse. Unfortunately, she forgot to update her emergency contact, so the person they call is her ex-husband, Tom. Unable to be left alone, Katherine reluctantly agrees to travel to Chicago with him for the holidays. But thanks to a blizzard, what should have been a quick plane ride turns into an antagonistic overnight misadventure that stirs up old feelings even as Tom prepares to propose to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve.

A delightful meet-cute between The Proposal and Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Emergency Contact is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sophie Kinsella.

the story is cute and funny. a cozy romcom for the winter months

I found our main characters a little bit frustrating. they weren't the most likable. but in general the story was cute and fun to listen to. I'd reccomend it for a light hearted romcom lover

Funny! Really loved the banter.

Very fun light read as I always laugh when listening to Lauren Layne books, I love the humor in them. This story took a bit too long to get to the point & needed a hit better ending but all in all I really liked it.

The snarky humor.

I love the humor in this book. The witty barbs and comments. I would have given it five stars, but it was a bit too predictable for my preference. Not a lot of surprises.

Pretty good story and narration overall

There is nothing new or exciting about the story told here, but it is a great pick me up or holiday feel good book. Definitely recommend

Predictable

Some of this was predictable and repetitive . The story is loosely based on the movie “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”. Cute and clever dialogue kept me interested.

Predictable

How many things can actually go wrong? You knew immediately once you started listening how this book would end. It’s a classic rom-com. Idk a friend recommended it to me and we usually like the same books but this one was a miss for me. Needed more depth.

Wonderful story

The banter in this story is wonderful. It's sometimes laugh out loud funny. Towards the end, I had so many feelings. The narration was perfect by Tim Paige and Brianna Cohen.

Christmas romance

Loved it. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the part where a line is repeated and it was missed in production as well as a voice change of Katherine at the end of the book. Otherwise it was a perfect warm Christmas unexpected romance.

Another great one by Lauren Layne

I adore every single book she has ever written!!! This was super cute to listen too and I enjoyed the banter. Easy listen in a crazy time in this world. Helped me escape and relax. Thank you

Romantic and Good Banter

Emergency Contact has no steam, but it really did not need it. The romance was in the small moments as Tom and Katherine reconnect after Katherine got into an accident and needed Tom to be with her. He needed to get home from New York to Chicago, but Katherine, who is addicted to her phone, kept making them delayed. This forced them to communicate what happened 4 years ago, and to realize that neither really moved on from each other despite that Tom was supposed to be proposing to another woman on Christmas Eve. The banter was from playfully hostile to sweet, and as Tom and Katherine reconnected, they fought to help each other give what each other wanted most in the world, even if it cost the other. Emergency Contact has heart, holiday vibes, a beautiful second chance romance, great banter, but most of all, it was romantic with an opposite attract. This story definitely qualifies as relationship in trouble as well. It’s a gorgeously written story! Highly recommend for a holiday romance!
