About this listen
Ascending to a holiday party on the thirty-second floor of a Manhattan skyscraper, the building's only elevator breaks down, trapping grinchy curmudgeon "Nasty Nate" DuPont and the stubborn Director of Finance, Twila Henderson, inside. With bumbling maintenance workers en route and emotions running high, Twila and Nate struggle to stay civil. As hideously dressed co-workers mingle feet beyond their blocked exit, stuffed emotions bubble to the surface over the captive duo's seemingly forgotten past.
Bursting with heat and humor, this third-person steamy laugh-riot will leave you with an HFN that will warm your heart on even the coldest winter night. From the Alba sisters (authors of The Billionaire's Assistant & Call of the Wyl) comes a spicy standalone contemporary romance novella for fans of forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers, workplace romance, grumpy boss, holiday romance, & romantic comedy tropes.

If I was to dream up the perfect man even my wildest imagination would have fallen short compared to Cole Nichols. Tall, broad shoulders, smile to die for and dreamy green eyes that held a mischievous glint. Add in a heart of gold, always helping others in need. We had planned out every detail of our lives together…including his dream of becoming a major league pitcher. So when my gran got sick and I needed to take care of her, I gave him the push he needed, breaking my heart, and his, in the process.

I just married the hockey league’s hottest player. Only catch? He has no idea. I never meant to hitch Ken Edwards. OK. I totally did. I just wasn’t planning on him finding out. It was a desperate move to save my restaurant, but now he’s onto me and refusing to play along. Between his scorching looks and my traitorous hormones, keeping things strictly business is like trying to diet in a chocolate factory.

The same one I see on my son every single day.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Irreverent humor + holiday romance
This cute holiday novella brims with sass. The banter was clever and snarky. I really liked this story but as with every good novella, I didn't want the story to end. I wanted more: more snark, more character development, more storyline. For a novella, though, it packed a lot into a little bit of time. A few secondary characters had interesting side storylines going and I hope to see those developed into more.
The narration was well done by one of the authors.

love it
The Ugly Sweater Party is a delightful holiday audiobook that brings humor, heat, and holiday spirit to life in a way only great narration can! Set against the backdrop of a festive Manhattan skyscraper, "Nasty Nate" DuPont and Twila Henderson—two very different coworkers with a complicated past—find themselves stuck together in a broken elevator on their way to the office ugly sweater party. The tension and humor build as old grievances and simmering chemistry come to the surface, all beautifully brought to life by the narrator’s engaging performance.
Odessa Alba’s witty dialogue and quick pace shine in audio format, especially with the narrator’s spot-on portrayal of Nate’s grumpy, unfiltered side and Twila’s spirited resilience. This audiobook makes the most of every steamy, funny moment between these two characters, transforming a classic enemies-to-lovers holiday romance into a cozy listen that’s hard to pause. Perfect for fans of festive forced proximity, The Ugly Sweater Party is the ideal feel-good holiday listen!.

The Ugly Sweater Party!
This is a fun and short holiday story. It is an workplace and office romance with an enemies to more and grumpy boss plot. The story is mostly about Twila and Nate, who they have dubbed "Nasty Nate". The story can be a little bit hard to follow since their are some many people in the story along with the back and forth between characters. It is the evening of the holiday office party and the annual ugly sweater event. Twila and Nate end up stuck in an elevator together. The dynamics, antics, banter and chaos of the rest of the party attendees is fun. I love the side romance between Phil and Beth, elevator repair workers. This is a cute, entertaining and fun story. I like the characters! The narration is nicely done as well.

What happens at the Christmas party
What happens when you get a group of people together and the punchbowl is spiked at a Christmas party. This is a laugh out loud story of a company party where different scenarios are occurring. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end.

slow burn
Twila is on her way to her office Holiday party when she finds herself stuck in the elevator with her boss Nathan (Nasty Nate). With the tension and annoyance building between them the hotter the elevator gets. Literally hotter wait to be rescued halfway up to the 32 floor of their office building. Great story I definitely recommend.

Short. Funny. Sexy.
This novella was adorably funny. I loved all of the Hanukah jokes inside a Christmas book. “”Guilt and matzah balls”
