Publisher's summary

He's arrogant, he's aloof, and his smirk makes me want to punch him. I shouldn't let him get to me, but he's always known how to push my buttons.

Twelve days of gay. That's the name of the video contest my boss wants to host this Christmas. Three couples, four short videos, each inspired by a line of the famous song. I signed up to be part of one of the couples competing, only then my friend dropped out.

Now my boss wants me to form a couple with her nephew - who happens to be the hottest man alive. Too bad he's also a jerk. Thing is, he might be my best shot at winning this contest and getting myself the money I need to start college. I can suffer through a few filming sessions with him for that, can't I? Put him in some really ridiculous outfits so I can forget how firm his abs are.

I don't know how I'm going to get through this holiday season with my sanity intact.

12 Days of Gay is a fun holiday romance that can be listened to as a stand-alone. Buy now if you need a little cheer in your life.

Very Cute

I really enjoyed all of the humor in this story. I am sure people were looking at me as I laughed going down the isle in Target. The narrator did a good job differencing each of the characters and really helped make this story so funny. I highly recommend this book if you like a little humor with your holiday romance!

Original Storyline with All the Feels!

I truly enjoyed this story! It has an interesting and original storyline which is refreshing. The characters are likable, a bit awkward which is a plus for me, and hilariously funny. John Solo is one of my go-to narrators. He reads the story in such a way that you can differentiate between characters and has perfect balance without being overdone or falling flat. Highly recommend!

Cute & Funny

This is a lighthearted series and I enjoyed this latest book. While not my absolute favorite of the series, this book was fun and left me smiling. There are several laugh out loud scenes, and John Solo's narration just made it even funnier. This was perfect pick-me-up that I needed right now. Happily listened to and happily reviewed.

Oh my goodness 🤣

Aunt Rosy and her ideas are the best 😂
Funny and sweet story about enemies to lovers thanks to a contest of Aunt Rosy's making 😉 ...and as well as in the other books of this series a couple of hilarious pets and ridiculous situations to make everything even better 😍

12 Days of Gay

This is a fun and engaging story. Ash and Chase make a great couple. I loved watching the two find their way. Each man has a strong personality. Chase is great and he quickly endears himself to this listener. Chase hides a wonderful man behind his façade that he shows the world. The two are strong together and the sparks are there from the start it just takes a little nudge for them to turn into flames. Not only do the main characters shine but the supporting ones do as well. Narrator John Solo brings this story to life, and you can feel the characters emotions as you listen.

met all expectations

this book had me laughing, I love how they grew and got to know each other better even when knowing each other for years. I love the build and of course Aunt Rosy.

Very fun

I'm really glad all 12 days weren't covered but if they were it still would have been fun. The character building was very nicely done. I laughed so much people must have thought I was crazy.
The narrator did a very good job!

Making Merry

I love this story and it is another great fit for the series. While these two aren't exactly enemies they aren't really friends either. These two get thrown together and sparks fly in both good and bad ways. Aunt Rosie is of course there to stir the pot. I also love the other family drama that ensues. A very fun holiday story.

I listened to the audio version and it was really a great listen.

enjoyed it

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

📖 Story comment: The story has an easy pace and flowed nicely, the characters are likeable and the story is entertaining. Miscommunication makes for some entertaining scenario's in this low/no angst, slow build holiday romance.

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed John Solo's narration and think he's done a good job narrating 12 Days of Gay. Each character had their own voice and it was easy to tell them apart, he has good timing, inflections and intonations and it all worked to bring the story to life.

Another great addition to this series!

Ana Byrde did it again! Another hilarious book in this series. I love how each couple in this series finds themselves in crazy situations. And Aunt Rosy seems to have her hand in getting them together. Asher and Chase had great chemistry right from the beginning even though there is some animosity between the 2 of them. Great side characters, funny situations, and plenty of heat. John Solo is amazing once again! He brings these character to life!
