About this listen
What’s the actual last thing you’d ever want your spouse to see you doing when you’ve been trying to get it on for weeks? Dancing around your baby’s room to “Come and Get Your Love” like Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy—in an Elmo costume? Yeah. Me too.
And yet, here we are.
This isn’t even the most humiliating thing I’ve done lately.
The first was leaving drunk messages when I was out partying with my cousins.
The second was trying to seduce her on the Staten Island Ferry.
The third was so terrible, I’m not even going to tell you about it.
I need to pull it together before the hot, busy, suddenly grumpy mother of my child forgets why she married her sexy, brilliant, occasionally infuriating former boss in the first place.
This is just how it goes for the men in my family. We get knocked down...but we get up again.
And nothing’s ever going to keep me down when it comes to my wife.
*Please note: This novella is a follow-up to A Very Bossy Christmas by Kayley Loring! You will probably enjoy it more if you’ve already listened to A Very Bossy Christmas. Or you might enjoy it even less, who knows? Kayley doesn’t know anything, she just writes stuff.

Story
Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman. Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance? It's not. This story begins with a contract. And an exchange of money. A lot of money. An angel perches nervously on one shoulder. A devil lounges smugly on my other. And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I'm doing.

Emergency-call operator Hollie Porter is saddled with a job she hates and a boyfriend who’s all wrong for her. Reaching a breaking point, she cashes in a gift certificate and heads to Revelation Cove in British Columbia. Flying solo and newly single, Hollie hopes to reflect and discover her purpose among the beautiful surroundings but instead ends up unintentionally providing comic relief for the staff and guests alike. Even concierge Ryan, a former hockey star with bad knees and broken dreams, can’t stop her from stumbling from one (mis)adventure to another.

Story
My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...and I'm sick of games. Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market. Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or no messages and - and - and...I'm sick of all of it. I’m done. It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard. It's breaking my heart. What do I want? That's easy. I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence. I want babies to buckle into a minivan. But most of all, I want to be married. I want a husband.

Story
If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions. But some guys are willing to take a chance. Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding planner - the green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpieces - is raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity. As the best man, I know her game - and I can play it better than her.

There are bad ideas, and there are good bad ideas. My former fiancé banging someone else—that was a bad idea. A good girl having her first-ever one-night stand with the bad-boy stranger she just met in a liquor store? Awesome bad idea. When I find out my one-night stand was looking for revenge, I should run—far away. But I don’t...because rebounding with Vince is the most awesome bad idea ever. Do I want to help him get back at our exes? Oh. Hell. Yes.

Hey. You looking for a steamy single parent romantic comedy? How about three single dad steamy rom coms and one single mom steamy rom com? The Name in Lights Collection contains three full standalone novels and a bonus novelette that's set in the same world. What's a novelette, you might ask? It's slightly shorter than a novella and longer than a short story, but equally as entertaining as a novel. Really!

My stress level is off the charts. I can’t sleep right on a normal day, and lately my days are filled with the best kind of chaos. My ex-wife and husband number two are filming in Poland for three months, so I’m turning down movie parts to focus on the most important role of my life - impossibly charming and somewhat capable young single dad. Our regular nanny quit. The only person I could trust to hire as a temp nanny is my best friend’s sister. If Mary Poppins and Bill Murray had a baby it would be Willa.

When I was a kid, my dad was the gardener for the richest man in town. His daughter, Lily Barnes, told me she could never like a guy like me. Then she kissed me and told me it would never happen again. When it happened again, she told me she could never love me because she was going to leave this place, and I would never leave my dad. We were never quite friends, not exactly enemies, and we could never quite stop secretly kissing each other. She never said goodbye before running off to try to make it as an actress. That was her dream, and I wanted her to chase it.

Dear Fiona: I hope this letter finds you well—and by well, I mean significantly less infuriated than you were yesterday. I’ve wanted to continue our conversation from the night we met, but there are so many things I can’t say or do, now that I’m your professor. As an anonymous letter writer, I can give you some idea of what I have planned for us, once the year is over. As an author, I can share my work in progress with you. Not for you to critique but to show you how much you mean to me.

I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

Until she walked in the room. The earth shifted, just like the stories said it would. I said it wouldn’t happen—not to me. I didn’t have the time, but now she was the only thing on my mind.

Edging the Canavales!
This book was everything I didn’t know I wanted in a follow up to Declan and Maddy’s story! I relate so hard to Declan here
“I can’t believe I had to walk three blocks in this beautiful sunshine and stand in line for thirty seconds”
At the same time the evil genius, Kayley Loring, is writing hilarious, relatable
- yet - unattainable males, she is writing the ladies who can do it all while wearing a breast pump, keeping esquires in line and being right all the time! *eyeroll* Don’t tell Declan.
Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor Crais narrate this outta park, as always! They are hot and hilarious together and both have spot on Elmo impersonations!

#Maclan4Eva!!
“I have had a crippling addiction to my wife for years, and I have absolutely no intention of ever quitting her.”
Thank you to Kayley Loring for gifting us with a delightful novella set in her Very Holiday series. A Very Grumpy Father’s Day is a follow up to A Very Bossy Christmas. Catching up with Maddie and Declan and baby Ciara felt like coming home. We want to be a part of the Cannavale Cassidy O’Sullivan clan!
Not many romances go past the couple’s HEA. We need more of this! Kayley’s writing is so real and relatable and takes us on the journey with the characters. She beautifully and humorously captured exactly what it feels like to be married and the everyday struggles that go along with it, the chaos that comes with becoming new parents, and finding your way back to each other as you find your new normal as a family.
The narration for this novella is top notch. Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright have proven yet again why they will always be on our favorites list. They are both so incredibly talented. The accents, the impressions, the drunk singing…chef’s kiss! Kayley’s books are made for audio. Do not deprive your ears of this deliciousness!
AVGFD is exactly what we needed! In typical Kayley fashion, it was sweet, heartwarming and hysterical wrapped up and delivered in a Connor and Mackenzie sandwich. What more could we ask for? We cannot wait for Billy Boston and Piper’s books to be released!

Yessss!! Loved it!
Love! Love! Love this crazy peek into Declan’s world. It starts off with some great moments that are carried throughout the story. I laughed, chuckled and even snorted a time or two all while feeling these unique emotions about his predicaments. I loved the look into Maddie and Declan’s life since they have that epic love affair. I loved seeing a lot of the old characters including but not limited to Billy Boston and Nolan!
This is a quick book to read and a wonderful addition to this series! I listened to this on audio. Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor Crais knocked this out of the park. I love their voices as these characters. In fact I read this one first and was hearing Mr Crais in my head as I was reading the lines. Ha ha!

📚Story review📚
This novella is an absolute gem! A sweet and spicy (and almost irritatingly accurate) dive into Declan and Maddie's early days of parenting. The struggle is real and so incredibly relatable. Maddie and Declan are both exhausted, trying desperately to connect and keep the spark alive, but life and their little blessing keep blocking them at every turn.
***While not required, you will enjoy this one more if you start with A Very Bossy Christmas. You’ll love that anyway, so just read that one first.
✨🎧Audiobook Review🎧✨
This audio is a brilliant 3 hours and 28 minutes of pure, mad wicked talent. Connor and Mackenzie bring so many different character voices that it almost feels like full cast. Mackenzie nails both male and female voices, and she absolutely shines with accents—from Staten Island to Scottish and even my personal favorite, a Ukrainian older lady. It's incredible. And Connor? Oh my gosh, he knocks it out of the park with Irish, Boston, mobster, Italian, and even freaking Elmo into the mix. (Yeah, you read that right—Elmo!) And the man sings. Stick a fork in me, I’m done.
**These are my own honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily. I purchased this audiobook.

Excellent follow up to A very Bossy Christmas. Loved hearing about Maclan’s life after marriage. Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright did an excellent job with the narration as well. Cannot wait to hear Billy Boston’s love story!

How wonderful to catch up with Declan and Maddie in this sweet Father’s Day novella. We get to see how marriage is treating our couple along with parenthood. It is funny and well written and I just love this series and these characters.
The narration is perfect. Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright are pure pleasure to listen to. Loved them.

Maclan forever!
If you got to this book you probably came because of “A Very Bossy Christmas”. No? Oh, go back and read (or better yet, listen to) it. Go. I’ll wait.
Back? Ahhh, I can see that goofy grin on your face and you are now a Maclan fan. Told ya!
Well, Maddie and Declan are still very much in love. Declan is still grumpy and Maddie still doesn’t take his crap, and now they have the most precious gift of all: little Ciara.
What happens after an HEA? When you read a romance, you get to the happily ever after and then what? Kayley Loring gives you the “what”. Two people madly in love with each other and even more so with their kid and dealing with all the lack of time, of sleep, and oh FFS , “alone” times! They try, oh boy they try, but the odds seem to never be in their favor.
Declan is still very grumpy, but his biggest reason for that now is his need to be everything he can be for his girls, specially the little one, who seems to be having a hard time understanding that her dad is “da man”. It’s hilarious, but most of all it’s endearing. The hot shot lawyer from Upper East Side needs to woo the little one and it’s not working.
I grinned from page one. Kayley Loring creates characters that you grow to love like they are your real friends. Going back to spend time with Cannevales was a joy and I will alway revisit. There is a special quality in Kayley Loring’s writing that I can’t exactly define, but that makes me LOL and get all gooey. You get all that here. A million stars.
I’ll never look at Elmo the same…
Narration: this is narration GOLD! Connor and Mackenzie reprise their roles and it’s magical! And…ELMO! 😂

Declan and Maddie perfection!!
Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright reprise their roles as Declan and Maddie, and with both giving fantastic performances, I fell even more in love with this memorable couple! Connor embodied Declan in every way possible. His ability to capture all of Declan’s broody, frustrated dominance along with his vulnerable new Daddy side was endearing and made my heart melt! Plus, Connor was spot on portraying all the infamous side characters along with their distinct accents we all know and love from Kayley’s Very Holiday Series! Mackenzie’s performance of Maddie was hilarious and heartfelt, and made me just adore everything about her love for her hubs, and adorable daughter, Ciara. Plus, she portrays teenage Piper again, and I could not stop laughing! Both ignited the fiery hot chemistry between Declan and Maddie that still burns as bright as ever! I LOVED this audiobook!
