The Holiday Hookup List

By: Alexis Daria

Narrated by: Ramona Master, Noah B. Perez

The twelve days of Christmas have never been hotter! Spice up the holiday season with this sizzling enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy by an internationally bestselling author.

Valencia

After calling it quits with my cheating fiancé, I’m definitely not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. But when my best friend invites me to a holiday dance party, I show up ready to shake my ass.

Except I must be on Santa’s naughty list, because who do I run into? My infuriatingly sexy high school archnemesis, Gideon Noble.

The pulsing music, red and green strobe lights, and Gideon’s bitable bottom lip make me reckless, so I drag him onto the dance floor.

And then? I take him home with me.

Gideon

If this is my second chance with Valencia, I’m not wasting it.

We’re both alone this Christmas, so we create a naughty and nice list that would make Santa blush: twelve days of wholesome yuletide cheer, and twelve nights decking each other’s halls.

As Christmas Eve, and the end of our list, approaches, I realize that twelve days with Valencia Torres isn’t enough.

I want forever.

But does she?

Love Story for Adults

If you enjoy sappy love stories you’ll love this. Rated R as far as descriptions go. However written tactfully.

Cute

This was a cute, fast listen. Although I love Alexis Daria I don’t think this was my favorite but it’s no way does it stop me from reading anything else by Daria! I liked the characters and they really complimented each other but I think there could have been a little more!

Meh

Story was ok, narrators weren’t my fave. Male narrator sounded like he was whispering snd female narrator got on my nerves.

The Holiday Hookup List - Alexis Daria

⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️ This was a cute quick holiday read. Valencia &Gideon were both likable &fun. It was nice seeing them reconnect through their past rivalry.

* I thought it was interesting that there was a sex/kink bucket list that they did together throughout the book but there’s no spice in this book. I’m not sure of the point of making the sex/kink bucket list even part of the story then. I enjoy spice in books but I’m not someone that needs spice in a book to make it good so I just didn’t think that part of the story was necessary.

* The narration was well done. Ramona Master &Noah B Perez did great. Overall cute listen.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬:
* Holidays
* Lawyer FMC
* Lawyer MMC
* Enemies to lovers

𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬:
* 27 year olds lawyers, Valencia Torres &Gideon Noble agree to spend the 12 days leading up to Christmas together. Will 12 days together be enough?

Spicy and so fun!

Love any Alexis Daria story! Leave it to her to make such an aggressively sexual plotline so tender and heartfelt too! Excellent dual narration. A+
