Tessa Bailey
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey delivers a sexy, hilarious standalone holiday rom-com about the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert... Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother's band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it's time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life... and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas. Beat Dawkins, the lead singer's son, is Melody's opposite--the camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader. Still, they might have been best friends if not for the legendary feud that broke up the band. When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it's nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show. While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she's never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything--the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

"This was such a great book! It was so much fun and very fast paced! Beat and Melody were both so sweet and lovable! It was a great mix of sweet and spicy! Definitely a good Christmas romance! 10/10 would recommend!"

"4.25/5 ⭐️ this is a super fun read. I think this one has the the best banter and my favourite fmc of all of the Tessa Bailey books I’ve read! It had a dash of Christmas but was not overly Christmas-y which I prefer. The main conflict felt like it got a smidge repetitive and the end felt super rushed and abrupt or I think it would have been a five star. The story line was fun and different and allowed for some really fun characters! As always the dirty talk in this book was excellent Tessa Bailey knows how to write dirty talk! Not a super spicy book but the spice in there was good! 3/5 spice level. "

"The plot of this book was a mess, however Beat and Melody were really lovable. This may be an emotional rating that I change later but I did enjoy it so what the heck- 4 stars. The one thing that is worth noting is that this is definitely not a Christmas book. It could have been anytime of year and the story would not have changed. "

"This is the perfect Christmas x Soulmates story. While getting past the names of “Beat” and “Melody” was difficult at first, I quickly fell in love with their connection as the long-lost children of a 90s grunge group.
They understood each other on a level no one else ever could. This is as if Stella McCartney and Jude Lennon fell in love.
Terrific story telling, and wonderful ✨steamy✨ scenes.
4/5⭐️
4/5🌶️"

"A fun book but not as much of a Christmas book as I expected. I loved the characters though and it very much gave a hallmark movie vibe. "
