About this listen

This holiday, two of Texas's most beloved sweethearts are finally gettin' hitched. Everyone in the small town of Spruce is overjoyed as the winter wedding kicks off.

Everyone except Malcolm Tucci.

Forced to attend the festivities with his father catering the event,
the stone-hearted, grudge-carrying, holiday-hating Malcolm
is brought face-to-face with Bobby, the soccer boy groom he could've had, and Jimmy, the dancer who stole him away.

What he didn't count on was having his feet swept out from under him
by the rugged, pretty-eyed, and insufferably cocky Samuel.

Is it too late for Malcolm to believe in romance again?
Or is this holiday wedding about to get crashed?

Absolutely loved this book just like all the rest of the Spruce Texas Romance books. I think my favorite think about listening to this one is that Daryl narrated it!

Another great story!!!

Malcom was kinda creepy obsessing over Bobby, when they only had one date. also I thought Malcom was kinda mean even when he was supposed to be nice

Not as romantic as the other six books

I have yet to read a book by Daryl Banner that doesn’t hit the spot. This series easily became my favorite and from start to finish, it doesn’t disappoint. From the erotic love scenes to the ability he had to express emotions in his characters, the series is simply beautiful. I just wish there were more books in the series!

Never disappoints!

I am absolutely blown away by Darryl Banner's narration. Having already read the book, I knew the story was fabulously written, but hearing the characters brought to life by the author brought the story to a whole other level. The story is heart warming and full of fun and laughter. Absolutely enjoyed this audiobook. I will definitely be listening to this book over and over again.

Absolutely fabulous

A beautiful and brilliantly written romance! Samuel and Malcolm are cute and likeable characters! Their warm and light hearted banter will capture your heart. A very very very very slow burn in the steam /sexy /romance part of the storyline! Mr Banner's attempt at narration was very well received! However, I do miss the duel narration of Sean C and Chris C in the world of Spruce Texas!!

A 5 star brilliant & very slow burn romance !!

Daryl Banner has done an amazing job creating his Spruce, Texas universe. I have enjoyed every book in the series, especially the fact that he keeps his previous main characters popping up in subsequent books' story lines.

This book was my least favorite, and I think the main reason was that Mr. Banner had decided to narrate the audio book himself. The narrators of the previous books were all wonderful, some with smooth, sexy Texas accents that would melt butter. Mr. Banner's narration unfortunately has none of that.

I sincerely hope the author plans to write an eighth book in this highly entertaining Spruce, Texas series, however, I do hope he just sticks to writing and let the producers go back to some of the other narrators used in his previous audio books.

LOVE THE SERIES... THIS BOOK IS THE EXCEPTION

I loved this audiobook! To have it narrated by the author is special indeed. Daryl Banner wrote a beautiful holiday story with humor and romance.

Loved all the Spruce stories but this one didn’t work for me. The MC was just shallow and holds a basic grudge too long in the story. Love Mr Banner but he shouldn’t record his own work.

I love Spruce, Texas, but …
