About this audiobook

Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Nightmare Before Christmas in a sexy, quirky rom-com where the golden-hearted Prince of Christmas falls for the totally off-limits Prince of Halloween.

Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make-out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night.

But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it.

Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand...and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween.

It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.

A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble Books.

I really wasn't sure this book would be for me. I'm not usually a fantasy girl, but I found this audiobook to be totally enjoyable. It was fun. There are moments that are kind of junior highish, but it was all the more endearing because of those. This book has family members of the different holidays competing against each other and collaborating at the same time. I don't know how else to describe it. Bisexual Coal Claus (you guessed it--Christmas) has fallen for Hex, the Prince of Halloween. Unfortunately, his father has pitted them against each other to see which will marry Iris, the Easter Princess. Neither of them want to marry her and have trouble keeping away from each other. There is subterfuge, secret letters, unacknowledged crushes, steamy scenes and chaos galore. The narration by Ellis Evans was superb. It was a delight to listen to! Thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the audiobook. All thoughts are my own.
