My December Darling

By: Lauren Asher

Narrated by: Noah B. Perez, Vanessa Vasquez

A small-town Christmas novella by the New York Times bestselling author of LAKEFRONT BILLIONAIRES series that will make you want to pack your bags and spend the holiday in Lake Wisteria.

Catalina
Playing the part of my sister’s maid of honor is easy even if she’s marrying my ex.
But playing nice with the best man? An impossible task given our history.
Sure, Luke Darling may be suspiciously kind, incredibly handsome, and stubborn to a fault, but regardless of how hard he tries to make me see otherwise, I’m not interested.
It’s on me to remind him that he’s my ex-boyfriend’s best friend.
And the one I’m secretly starting to wish I met first.

Luke
My job as the best man is a simple one, except for one minor issue.
I’ve spent so much time avoiding my best friend’s ex that I didn’t consider what could happen if I started craving Catalina Martinez’s company instead.
She is only in Lake Wisteria for the winter wedding, but her January departure date won’t stop me from pursuing her.
Getting her to date me would be nothing short of a Christmas miracle, but I’m determined to make her mine.
‘Tis the season to fall in love…even if I’m the only one taking the risk.

My December Darling is a 50,000-word, Christmas-themed romance between a grumpy maid of honor and an outgoing best man who chases after what he wants.

My December darling

I love this Christmas novella it’s so cute and perfect for the holidays time I love the story so much

What a lovely holiday story!

We are spending the holidays in Lake Wisteria, sharing delicious coquitos and building Lego sets! 

Catalina is back in town to be the maid of honor in her sister's wedding... to her ex. To add insult to injury, she has to spend time with the infuriatingly handsome and kind Dr Luke Darling, the groom's best friend and best man. 

Between best men and maid of honor duties, they'll drink coquitos, build elaborate Lego sets, build gingerbread houses and bake so many baked goods... and to Luke's utter delight, fall in love. 

SWOON CITY! What a delightful novella! I love all the inhabitants of Lake Wisteria (we have some cameos here) and I fell in love with the skittish Catalina and the golden retriever Luke.

Narrated in duet by Vanessa Vasquez and Noah B. Perez, who are quickly becoming favorites, and I squeal when I see them  paired together. Vanessa's voice and performance are perfect for the standoffish Catalina, who has a warm heart hidden under her reindeer scrubs. Noah's deep and raspy voice will do things to you every time he says 'Catalina'.

Get yourself a Lego set, a coquito (or eggnog) and enjoy this lovely story and its small town, Christmas-y vibes! ¡Feliz Navidad!
