Elf-ish

A Fake Dating, Millionaire, Only One Bed Holiday Romance (Holiday HOTTIES)

By: L.B. Dunbar

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Teddy Hamilton

As the CEO of a major department store, I know firsthand that Christmas joy can be bought and sold just like anything else. That's right. When it comes to the most wonderful time of the year, I’m a grinch in a penthouse. But when a gorgeous, red-headed firefighter saves me from a heart attack with a kiss and a whispered plea, even I can’t begrudge her a simple favor — be her date at her younger brother’s holiday wedding.

Turns out, there’s nothing simple about it. Suddenly, I’m ice skating on frozen ponds, baking cookies with her family, kissing under mistletoes, and finding a little fa-la-la in the season. I don’t even recognize myself.

Because she’s like the spirit of Christmas present, haunting my thoughts, sparking something in my cold heart, and making me crave things past-me would never have considered asking the big man in red for — a future.

Once upon a time, a scrooge like me vowed to transform. The only thing he didn’t get in the end was the girl. I’m determined that won’t happen to me.

It’s either give up my selfish ways or lose the love of a truly elf-ish woman.

Slow romance

Well written! The story is just slow to progress. He chases she, she resist until the last possible moment and then the storynis over. i do like the found family love!

Such an amazing book and duet narration!

This was the fourth book I read by L.B. Dunbar (the fourth in this series) and it was beyond amazing! Every book in this series was great but I think this was my favorite. I am soo happy Jude got a book. When we met him in a previous book in this series he was such a jerk. I loved that we got to see his redemption in this book and learn about his sad past. I loved the way L.B. Dunbar wrote this story! Jude was lonely misunderstood and a grinch and Angelica didnt know how lonely she was until she met Jude. This book was low angst and it had an amazing ending!
The audiobook was great! Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter did a great job bringing this story to life. This was a duet narration which I absolutely loved! I will definitely be reading more books by this author! I cant wait to start one of her other series! I hope she writes a 5th holiday hotties book!

L B Dunbar always does a good job. Fun book with overlapping characters. Worth the listen.

I liked the idea.

• Thoughts:
As much as I have loved this series, this one wasn't my favorite. I did enjoy the story for what it was. I believe the author was going towards a Christmas Carol vibe. I wish it would have been more of that sort of Christmas vibes. I liked how the Characters seemed to just mesh. They fit and it was natural for them to be together. There were areas of the book that I wanted more, I wanted to see more healing from Jude. I wanted to see Angelica put her foot down with her family. The book felt slightly chaotic to me for some reason. I do not feel it was bad by any means. It just wasn't a favorite for me.
