About this listen
I've never had a wingman before, so it's not my fault I fell in love with him...right?
Levi Huxley
I love my life. Taking care of our B&B alongside my dads fuels my soul, but I can't help wishing I had someone special too. It doesn't help that I'm attracted to men twice my age who all seem to think I'm not worth their time. Then our new chef offers to be my wingman and show me the ropes to dating. He’s straight and my age, and shouldn’t be my type. So, what's the meaning of the damn butterflies in my stomach whenever he's around?
Andy Morris
Working in a small B&B in some middle of nowhere town isn't the most glamorous, but I'll be in charge of my very own kitchen. Wintertown is just a pit stop to gain some experience before I leave for gander pastors. But then there's Levi. Smart-mouthed, caring, and so much fun to be around that I sometimes forget I'm supposed to help him find a boyfriend. So why do I get so angry when I see him acting all flirty with those other men? Talk about a wingman fail.
The Holiday Fail is a wingman-to-lovers MM romance between a B&B owner and his new chef. It features bi awakening, fake dates, lots of snuggles, and realizing what's right for you might not be what you've been looking for. It is the third book of the Doves of Destiny series and can be listened to as a standalone but is more enjoyable listened to as a series.

Story
Just the sight of Nico ‘Stix’ Jamieson makes me want to hurt something. Between his stupid smiles on that annoyingly handsome face and the constant drumming of anything that makes a sound with those drumsticks of his, I want to throttle him. No one is that happy. I don’t trust it. Even when my hate for him is clear, he throws it back in my face with a smile and wave. And how he loves to push my buttons when he’s feeling especially obnoxious. If I hate him, then why am I obsessed with him?

Story
Living in Christmas Town doesn’t make me a fan of the holidays. Quite the opposite. In fact, eleven months out of the year, I’m perfectly happy running my bookstore in peace and quiet. Of course, that changes in December when it’s mistletoe madness and mayhem. Ugh. But this year, there’s a new cowboy in town and it’s not as easy to grumble about…anything. I admit, Hudson is handsome and hunky, but everyone knows I’m not myself till January, so he’ll have to buzz off and charm someone else.

Story
John is an exceptionally good lawyer. He’s driven, arrogant, and hides a warm heart beneath a façade of cool politeness. He’s used to people disliking him, but for some reason, when meeting Matt in London, the other man’s open dislike bothers him. He’s therefore surprised to find himself offering Matt a place to stay in his villa in the South of France while he’s working nearby. He’d actually planned to spend the summer working on his book and plotting to get his ex-wife back.

Nicholas Theodoropoulos had been my stepbrother since I was fourteen. Mom died when I was twelve, and I resented Dad remarrying so soon. Even worse, my stepbrother had grown into a gorgeous man. I hated looking at him, reminding me every day of what I could never have. No one knew I was gay and never would. But when my best friend backed out of our road trip to California, Dad forced me to travel with my stepbrother. It was the only way if I wanted to go on this journey I’d been planning since middle school. Nothing good would come out of this.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself.

Hi, my name is Fisher, and I'm hooked on my dad's rival. I've been in love with Hudson Nash for years, but he's too stubborn to admit he wants me, too. For a whole bunch of stupid reasons. Like the fact that I'm too young. (What's a twenty-year gap? Age is just a number, am I right?) And a virgin. (Which he could easily fix!) And maybe not the best choice, given he and my dad hate each other. (It's not that ba—Okay, it is that bad, but our love could totally rise above, right? It would be epic!)

As sole heir to the Bredahl Cookies and Cakes fortune, Casper led a comfortable, happy-go-lucky life. Some would say, a charmed life. Sure, there were challenges: relentless pressure to join the family business, and his unrequited feelings for former high school crush Raleigh Jackson. But yeah, a charmed existence, compared to life after being arrested for murder and spending nearly a year in Chippewa Falls County Jail, awaiting trial.

Story
I was drowning in debt and my sister needed help, so I made a terrible choice. I borrowed money from the infamous Marchesi family, knowing I had no way to pay them back. Did I think I could evade them? Did I think I’d win the lottery? No, I didn’t think at all. I just acted. Now, a killer is at my door, a man known for his ruthlessness, his persistence, and the way he can bring a man to his knees–for business or pleasure. I’ve got to find a way to pay him back, and the only thing I own free and clear is my body.

Story
In a future where outposts swelter beneath a nuclear sun and run-gunners patrol dusty wastelands to protect against winged creatures known as devlars, Trin is the mech at the waystation in Arens. He has a thing for the gunners: rough men with strong hands and hard bodies, who roll through his garage like the hot desert wind. Gerrick’s the best gunner around, a quick draw with a deadly aim and a penchant for sharing his pallet with young men. He has a roving eye and roaming hands, and has left a string of broken hearts in his wake.

Great audio for a great story
A good narrator can make a good story better. Rye Cox gives us a sweet and funny story that has plenty of heat. And I loved the e-book. Zachary Zaba gives us more. He is such a delight to listen to and he does Andy and Levi justice.

Lovely Christmas story
Rye’s Christmas stories always make me so happy! Levi and Andy were perfect together. Their meet-cute was pretty funny, as was Andy’s jealous wingman role. It was lovely to see them both change their minds about what their ideal futures looked like.

The Surprise Gift of Love!
Levi trying to find his very own silver fox was both funny and a little heartbreaking. He was not having any luck. Andy arrives to work at his father's B & B as a chef and swoops in to help Levi in his search. Andy learns along the way that he just might be interested in filling the spot. Levi seems to find the perfect gift in a slightly younger than expected package! Adorable and Sweet! I was so happy with Zachary Zaba's narration. He did a great job of bringing Levi and Andy to life and he was just so completely the perfect Levi voice though!

The Holiday Fail - Recipe for Love
The Holiday Fail - Recipe for Love
Audio Narrator: Zachary Zaba
‘I had never considered a man’s body to be sexy, but it seemed Levi was set on proving every single one of my preconceived ideas wrong. In fact, I believed the word sexy was created just for Levi.’
Rye Cox’s Doves of Destiny series continues with book three, The Holiday Fail. We, as previous readers, are gifted the chance to see happily in love characters we have met before while Andy figures out his future just may be with the adorable Levi!
A happily ever after mm romance that will have you feeling all the feels that is further enhanced by Zachary Zana’s narration!

Dove to you
This third book in the Doves of Destiny series was a fun read, And that's not just because he included my favorite couple from Christmas Falls (Season 1), Bruce and Felix. From their not so meet cute ,a very drunk Levi falls into Andy's lap and cries himself to sleep to their realization that this wasn't just a fling, Levi and Andy just fit.
The audio version takes the story to new heights. Zachary Zaba has such a smooth voice and gives the characters laid back personalities. Listening, I found this less a city boy/country boy and more a fated mates tale. All under the watchful eyes of Wintertown's Doves of Destiny. This was a sweet romance, something Ms. Cox excels at.
Everything about this audiobook made it easy to rate it five stars. The story and worldbuilding is excellent. The audio pacing an absolute delight. The friend group in Wintertown have found their HEAs. But maybe there are more. Or maybe the B&B will be doing so well. that Levi and Andy can come visit Christmas Falls and the Milton Falls Tree Farm for Season three.
I received an advanced audiobook from the author and this is my grateful review.

Dining with the Doves of Destiny
Andy & Levi
I cannot believe I hadn't made the connection with Henry, Peter & Levi from Finding Home. I'd read it earlier this month, and I knew that I'd recognized the Doves of Destiny but it didn't totally click until I finished The Holiday Fail.
I loved the instant friendship that Andy & Levi develop, it's very easy and natural. Andy's feelings processed from there, but while he spent some time worrying about it, it came from a place of worry for Levi, and not for the shift in his own sexuality. He'd never wanted to hurt Levi's feelings because at the time things changed for him, he was still planning to go back to New York.
Levi is such a sweet and outgoing man. He does so much for his family's business, and rarely complains. He loves what he does, and he loves his town and community. When Andy comes into his life, he initially enjoys having a new friend, but as he gets to know Andy, he can see how much closer they could get. He loved all of Andy's ideas about expanding and updating things at the B&B, and loved how much fun they were having with their planning. It was fun to watch the subtle changes to their relationship once Andy accepted that his feelings for Levi and the town itself would never let him leave it all behind. It took Levi some time to accept Andy's truth, knowing and understanding that Andy was unlike any other man that he had known before.
I loved the additional cameos of Felix & Bruce from Ready, Set, Glow! They were only around for a short bit, but Felix always brings that little bit of extra pep with him that makes everyone around him smile, including his grump. ❤️
I loved reading The Holiday Fail! Although I wouldn't have personally called it a fail, but I can see how Andy's intention to stay only 6 months and then staying could be considered a kind of fail. I enjoyed every little bit of story and growth in this book, and I know it's definitely one I can add to my growing list of holiday favorite reads.
I received an advance copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.
Audiobook Update:
Narrated by Zachary Zaba
I always love another book narrated by Zachary. Every one of his narrations are memorable, especially if it's for a book I've already read separately. He really helps bring the characters to life from what I remember most about the reading itself.
I also love that this is not the first narration from Zachary that I've enjoyed for a book by Rye Cox. Each one was distinct and special enough to be very memorable for me("The Firedancer", "Ready, Set, Glow!" and this one).
I received an authorized copy of this story/audiobook and am volunteering my honest review.

A holiday to remember.
Absolutely loved this book. First off, want to say that I LOVED the cameos from the previous books and Wintertown’s own Angel Baby. The chemistry and ease that Levi and Andy had is on fire. I always love a story where there’s a big city guy going to a small town and thinks he’s only going to be there for a little while. Absolute love how he gets caught and falls in love with a Levi. Doves of Destiny is REAL!!
