Exes. Professional rivals. Just one bed. What could go wrong?

All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .
So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?

      Sarah Naughton and Marwan Salama narrate a contemporary romance featuring two romance authors and several genre tropes: second chance, forced proximity, and one bed. Just days before Christmas, Jess and Nick find themselves stuck at the hotel venue for their publisher's annual holiday event. The snowy weather isn't enough to cool the feelings between them--especially when those emotions are the only cure to their writer's block. Both narrators provide listeners with a hot holiday treat as they bring Jess and Nick's love story to life through their expressive portrayals of the couple. With her extensive narration experience, Naughton's performance is especially strong, though audiobook newcomer Salama's pacing and resonant voice are an excellent fit for the genre.

      Ballard (Right on Cue) reunites ex-lovers for the holidays in this spicy yet predictable outing. Romance writers Jess Carrington and Nick Matthews were once in love and inseparable—until they both received publishing deals from the same imprint. While Jess’s books do just okay, Nick, who breaks genre convention by writing love stories with unhappy endings, catapults to fame. His meteoric rise tears the couple apart—until, five years later, Jess is asked to introduce the Romance Author of the Year award to Nick at an annual industry holiday party. Jess still believes in happily ever after and the spirit of Christmas, her favorite holiday, but she struggles to get in the spirit while battling her anger at—and lingering attraction to—Nick. After a blizzard and an overbooked hotel conspire to land these two in the same room with only one bed, their editor suggests they work together on a new project. Ballard leans into the tropiness of her premise, delivering plenty of forced proximity, second-chance, and enemies-to-lovers antics, but doesn’t flesh out her characters’ backstories enough to get readers fully invested. Still, this is short, sweet, and festive. Agent: Kimberly Whalen, Whalen Agency.
