About this listen
Pull out your ugly sweaters,
roll out the gingerbread dough,
and get ready to boogie with the townsfolk at the Snowflake Dance.
This sweet holiday rom-com is sure to put a smile on your face and holiday cheer in your heart.
After signing up for EMRT (Extreme Matchmaking Reform Therapy), Jessica and Jake get stuck in a small village straight from a Hallmark flick.
But they're about to find out what the townsfolk have known all along—what happens in Whistling Rock...stays in your heart.
Jessica, who's never particularly liked Jake, is heading to Jamaica with her boss babe besties for a last-minute getaway before the holidays.
Jake, who's definitely not interested in Jessica, has a similar vacay in mind.
Too bad fate—or is it the extreme matchmaking site they signed up for— has different plans.
Find out what happens when a blizzard leaves these two stranded in a small town with more Christmas cheer than the North Pole.
***This rom-com is clean and wholesome.***
Expect sweet romance, swoony kisses, clean language, and Christian values.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
We all have things in our life that we should know by now, but don’t. Absences in our knowledge and skillset that are frankly shameful in an adult. Things that would be too embarrassing to ask anyone to explain – except our very best friend. Listen in as Mel and Sue tackle their ignorance head on, asking each other to explain something that they still don’t know - but absolutely, as adults, should - from how to parallel park to fully understanding bread (why has it got all those holes in it? What, honestly, is yeast?).

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Story
I’ve discovered the recipe for the perfect fake boyfriend. This one is five stars. Highly rated. But I can't keep him. It was a total accident. I went to Thanksgiving dinner with the boss's son and came home fake engaged. Jonah’s got all the ingredients to make a perfect boyfriend, even though he's clueless. I can work with that. Literally. I’m spending the month of December with a swoony fake fiancé and his gorgeous twin in Vermont while they prep for a cooking competition. Too bad this engagement has a built-in expiration date. Jonah's not the kind of guy who gives up easily, and ...

Loved this Fun Matchmaking Story
I listened to this on Audible and I really enjoyed this book. It was a little harder to follow since it was a virtual voice so it was hard to tell who was who sometimes but I still had a good time listening to it. This was definitely an entertaining book and had me laughing and smiling.
Jake and Jessica are in their forty's and starting to feel like something is missing in life. Both Jake and Jessica are involved in a Forty-something Singles Chat Group where a matchmaking service called Extreme Matchmaking Reform Therapy is being discussed and dismissed. But after reflection, Both Jake and Jessica decide, unbeknownst to the other, to apply to the matchmaking service.
Jake decides to go on a vacation with the guys to Grand Cayman. Jessica is going on a girls trip to Jamaica. Some how these two get stranded together in a small airport then get left behind when there wasn't enough room for them on the buses. Is this all part of some weird plan? Is it fate?
This was such a cute story and I had such a great time getting to know these characters. I can't wait to read more books in this series. I would definitely recommend this book. Kimberly Krey you wrote another amazing read and I can't wait to see what you write next!!!

No more AI for me.
it was very difficult to keep track of who was "speaking." The story would make a good Holiday TV movie. I'll recommend the book but not in this audible format.

Narrator isn’t great
I prefer books to be narrated by people that actually act out the words and perform the character well enough that I feel like I’m listening to a movie instead of a book,
This narration is like I was in the hospital and I asked one of the nurses to read to me. There is no change of voice between characters. It all blends together. There is hardly any inflection in the words. It’s pretty dead pan.
I quickly lost interest in what would have been a better book had I read it myself, or the audiobook was performed by professionals. I don’t recommend it and will avoid this narrator in the future.
