About this listen
What’s the actual last thing you’d ever want your celebrity crush to see you doing when you finally come face-to-excruciatingly-handsome-face with him? Singing and dancing around by yourself to “Dreams” by The Cranberries while drinking straight from a bottle of champagne? While you’re wearing some wedding gown you just found in a closet? Yeah. Me too.
And yet, here we are.
At a mountain cabin I was sent to by the awfully pretty actress/pretty awful human I work for to get things ready for her romantic New Year’s Eve getaway with him. That’s not even the worst thing about the way I meet Holden Archer. The actress has been paying me to have textual relations with him, pretending to be her—and she doesn’t even like him! Is it terrible that a snowstorm prevents us from leaving and the actress from getting here? Neither Holden nor I think so. Because it turns out our connection goes back a lot further than those texts. And just like in all my favorite romantic comedies, it’s what got us here that is the most amazing part of the story. Will my lack of experience cause me to freeze up when we go from inbox to in person? Or will a dreamy movie star melt my inhibitions and make all my secret New Year wishes come true?

Piper gets her HEA!!!
This book and audio was so good!! I think it’s edged Bossy Christmas out as my favorite of this series. Piper is so adorable and Holden is so swoony! And the return of the rest of the Holiday guys for another night out was epic! Classic Kayley comedy!
Erin Mallon & Jason Clarke were absolutely perfect as Piper and Holden (and other characters)! I loved Connor Crais’ cameo’s, too!
Amy Storment
A romantic comedy to defy all others!
OK, STOP everything you’re doing & grab this audiobook RIGHT NOW! I mean it! If you’ve read any of Kayley’s books from her Holiday series, you know that Piper Puckett has been a reoccurring character from the beginning of the series & quite honestly, everyone’s favorite. A self-proclaimed “Hope-FUL romantic,” she’s never given up on getting her happily ever after, all while singing to the dreamy tunes of The Cranberries.
This is an audio that will make you laugh-out loud, is fun & flirty, will warm your heart & leave you wishing you had your own snowstorm rendezvous to look forward to. Kayley has written a dreamy romantic comedy & it’s GOLD, simply perfect! As always, she adds her special touch of witty dialogue, absolutely adorable moments & just the right amount of awkwardness that makes you fall completely in love with each & every character. The romantic tension is hilarious & completely irresistible! The comedic timing is impeccable & the narration by these 3 actors is unmatched, truly! It’s hard to even put into words how AMAZING their performances are & the talent each of them bring to this story is absolutely bananas!
This is truly a love letter to all the romance books, romcom movies, journal entries & daydreams we had as a young girl hoping to find our HEA. There’s a little bit of Piper in all of us & that’s one of the things that makes this story so special & unique. I found myself wondering….am I Piper? I read Sweet Valley High, I’ve watched & obsessed over all the romcoms Piper loves. There is no limit to how many times one can watch You’ve Got Mail. It hits every single time! Kayley reminds you that there’s magic in all of the moments in romance, from the meet cute, to missed connections, to first kisses, it all matters when it comes to romance. When your Roman Empire is “nice butts,” I say, “I’ll have what she’s having!”
🎧Let’s talk narration…or at least try to because I’m not even sure I can convey how incredible this one is. I LOVE Piper & Erin Mallon just embodied this character with every fiber of her being! She voices every excitement, hopeful thought & vulnerability that Piper experiences. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing her. Her depiction of the sleezy character, Shay, was next level brilliant. Her talent continues to remain unmatched in my eyes & every time I listen to her, it’s a joy & brings a smile to my face. Jason Clark was absolutely adorable as Holden Archer. Playing the big-time, gorgeous, movie star whose humble, caring & looking for a love that not only he can be wildly crazy over but connect with as a friend & someone who gets him & accepts him just the way he is. His British accent & narration of his little sister, Rory, was absolutely “totes adorbs.” He’s the guy that does ALL THE THINGS, you’d hope for & have seen in the movies & it’s absolutely impossible to not fall in love with this guy! He voices all the caring & head over heels feelings Holden has for Piper to perfection! I’ve listened to so many audios with Mr. Crais, and I truly thought I had heard it all but WOW, I was wrong & I stand corrected. THIS MAN…. absolutely blew me away. I had no idea he possessed this kind of talent. He’s been hiding it & I don’t think there’s another person who could get him to do this other than Kayley. From voicing Piper’s dad with a southern accent to voicing all the Canavale boys to my personal favorite, Rita Baskin, Holden’s agent, I was left, mouth agape, at what he gave the listener. He is nothing short of SPECTATULAR, voicing at least 11 different characters from men to women & with perfect precision. I was belly laughing at his performance & it left me wanting more & he GIVES it to you, even with some added surprises.
These epilogues will go down in history as some of the funniest audio moments of all time. I couldn’t stop rewinding & listening to them over & over because Connor & Jason were SO FLIPPIN GOOD!
Nora Ephron would be so proud Kayley! She’s cheering you on & kicking herself she didn’t come up with this idea herself. I don’t know how loud I can scream, YOU NEED THIS AUDIO in your life & STAT! It’s a true work of art & will reignite your love & hope in romance.
♾⭐ for this one. It’s going down as a top audio in 2024 not only because of the perfect story but the performances are second to none. Piper said it best, “I love him. He’s my boo, my bestie, my person, my ride-or-die, may main man.” I NEVER wanna forget this. We all deserve this & I don’t ever wanna stop obsessing over my husband’s bubble butt! Kayley, this is truly a gift that will keep on giving & giving. Thank you for the care & time you to took to write the romantic comedy of our dreams. (Cranberries song on repeat!)
