A single mother working in a thrift store. A gentle giant farmer who can’t find jeans that fit. When opposites attract, they find themselves making alterations in more ways than one in this smoking-hot short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey.

Evie Crowe is starting over in a strange town with her newborn, and men are the furthest thing from her mind. If only the quiet, hulking farmer, Luke Ward, would stop coming into the thrift shop and piquing her reluctant interest. Evie wants to stay single all the way—she can’t trust anything more than friends-with-holiday-benefits. But Luke is in it for the long haul. He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

Tessa Bailey’s Merry Ever After is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

This was a lot omg… never read a Tessa Bailey book before but I had heard good things about them so I was excited to get to this one in the collection and lordy was it something

Truthfully this is just a smut holiday novella, and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a lot of cringy lines within the smut that had me put off by it.

The premise of the story was really interesting but Luke going right into describing his sexual fantasies within about a min of his chapter had me reeling.

Even though it’s a very short novella, I wish we had gotten more plot and less cringy sex lines

Cringy lines ruined it

It’s fine, it’s fast, the sex is hot enough I guess, but I really feel like the Chicago girl should have asked the white rural Texas chicken farmer about his opinions on Jan. 6 before making a lifetime commitment to him.

A single mom in possession of no common sense must surely be in want of a hulking farmer who demands to see her tits

This is such a cute holiday short story with some spice. The blend of small-town charm with steamy romance in a short story is great. The characters, Evie and Luke’s chemistry is electric, and watching them slowly come together is nothing short of great. The vulnerability, and passion into every page, creating a story that’s as touching as it is hot. A great holiday read.

This is the second book in a multi author collection, Under the Mistletoe.

Too fast, I didn't had the chance to connect with the characters, I didn't like the ‘Daddy’ praise here
I did enjoy other books by Tessa like ‘Fangirl Down’

I have to begin this review by acknowledging that this book is exactly what it promises to be: a brief, steamy Christmas novella. I approached it with modest expectations, as I'm not particularly a fan of Tessa Bailey's work, but I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. I opted for the audiobook version, and I must say, the performance was exceptional! Connor Crais's narration added an extra layer of enjoyment that I found absolutely bewitching. Despite its brevity, this novella delivered just the right amount of holiday cheer and tantalizing moments.

Love a good single mom romance. Especially when it's a big old softy beefcake who falls for her.

Dirty fun

✨Thoughts✨
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 Luke and Evie first met, sparks flew instantly. Evie, a single mother working hard to manage her second-hand shop, was initially wary of Luke's advances due to her responsibilities as a parent. However, Luke's genuine kindness and willingness to go above and beyond to make her comfortable quickly won her over. This was a sweet novella with plenty of spicy scenes!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 dual narration was great. Connor Crais is always a delight to listen to. He's one of my favorite narrators!
