This was one of my favorite stories by Tessa Bailey!! I’m usually picky about Christmas stories but this one was so fun. I adored both characters and I loved the plot of this story. I was actually sad for this book to end.

I do love a good story involving rock stars. This is a typical Tessa Bailey book and I enjoyed it. The steamy scenes didn’t go overboard in Wreck the Halls and she captured the awkwardness of the characters growing up with rock star moms. I found a lot of the gestures to be quirky and endearing.

This was such a fun read! I am always impressed with Tessa Bailey's warmth and humor, and this book hit the marks. it was a festive, fun rom com that hit all the emotional hallmarks. There's also drama and intrigue and music that reminds me of the music drama from Daisy Jones and the Six. Such a fun, festive read!

I really enjoyed reading this book. Melody and Beat’s story is sexy, funny and an all around great read. Will be reading this again soon. ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book reads like a movie. It was engaging and kept me reading even though I found Beat's motivation for participating in the reunion attempt to be a bit unbelievable. I loved Melody's humor and Beat's devotion. The banter and connection between them was fun and so satisfying.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! As a Jewish woman who does not read much Christmas fiction, I do read anything and everything Tessa Bailey writes, so you can see my dilemma here. Naturally, Tessa won in this battle and I devoured Wreck the Halls. I am happy to report this is way more of a romance set during the holiday season than a true "Christmas Romance" - it is full of banter, steam and all the things I've come to love from Tessa Bailey.

Tessa Bailey can truly do no wrong and Wreck the Halls was such a treat to read! I was hooked from the very beginning.

Beat & Melody are the children of the incredibly famous but broken up band, The Steel Birds. The public has gone decades without knowing what caused the band to break up. The group has gone viral & has a whole new generation of fans who are desperate for them to get back together for a reunion. Only one problem: they hate each other.

Beat & Melody are approached to be in a reality show which would follow them in an attempt to get their famous mothers to agree to a reunion. Neither of them likes the spotlight but Beat needs the money. And Melody would do anything for him considering she hasn’t stopped thinking about him since the day they met when they were 16 years old.

I never wanted this book to end and it absolutely needs to be a movie. Perfect amount of smut. Perfect amount of holiday cheer. 🤌🏼

The only complaint I had was Beat’s name. I kept wanting to call hi m Callum or something along those lines. Otherwise, it was perfection.

Don't let the characters music names fool
you into thinking this is a cheesy rom-com. Tessa Bailey does it again with a steamy, yet sincere and deep romance with wonderfully developed characters! this book is so fun for the holidays!

Tessa Bailey always delivers with her novels. Wreck the Halls is a fun holiday romance with plenty of adventure and hijinks. Great chemistry between the main characters, plenty of steam. Overall a n entertaining page turner

This book is the holiday rom com of my dreams!

“Wreck the Halls” follows both Melody Gallard and Beat Dawkins—the adult children of two former rock stars—who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert. When they met as teenagers, the two felt an instant connection, but it is nowhere near comparable to the intense attraction that only heightens as they undergo rock star shenanigans to make the Steel Birds reunion a reality. But as Christmas Eve approaches, a decades-old scandal threatens to ruin everything.

I don’t normally love the “insta-love” trope, but I’ll always make an exception for Tessa Bailey and I’ll tell you why. While Beat and Melody do instantly fall in love with each other, they do not instantly make their feelings known. In fact, reading from both of their points-of-view reveals that they both try to deny their attraction and make their infatuation less obvious for most of the book, creating “will they or won’t they” sexual tension that builds up to a satisfying climax when the two finally profess their love.

Additionally, Beat and Melody’s connection is like no other. It is deeper than your run-of-the-mill “insta-love” romance because they both understand what it is like to be in the limelight and for the tabloids to pry into their personal lives due to the fame surrounding their mothers. They find that they can be unguarded with each other and it makes their romance that more appealing and real.

The holiday spirit is subtly woven into this book rather than all up in your face, which I appreciated because it doesn’t hijack the storyline. Come Christmas time, I will definitely be reading this again. In fact, I think I’ll make it a yearly tradition to cozy up with this book by the tree and you should too!

Thank you to the author, publisher and @NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

My first 5-star holiday themed romance this year! This is definitely one for the tbr if you’re a fan of all the band reunion chatter and celeb gossip as of late.

Melody and Beat are *chef’s kiss* adorable and hot.

I totally wanted Steel Birds to be a real band (probably second only to the fictional Opal & Nev).

And set at CHRISTMAS?! My favorite time of year?! @tessabaileyisanauthor you have wrecked ME

tessa’s writing is so addictive, everything she writes i simply can’t put down until i finish it. this is her second holiday romance i’ve read and i hope it’s not the last!!

Merry Christmas! This was so solid! Literally a spicy hallmark movie, it played out just like one in my head. If you want a cozy and sweet read for the holiday season this is for you! ❤️

This stand alone holiday romance follows Melody and Beat as they work together towards uniting their rock legend mothers for a concert. While this is a holiday book, it doesn't scream Christmas. It's a nice balanced read without being too much holiday. As always, Bailey has mastered writing good spice. The tension between the two and those sexy moments are filled with heat. The book is from two points of view, which isn't my favorite, but it was very easy to follow. What I enjoyed most about the book is that the characters are likable! I was a bit confused about Melody's story journey. While it makes sense in the story, it's a bit unusual. I think maybe there needed to be a little fleshing out of her part of the story in order to make it totally work for me. That being said, the overall book is a fun read filled with romance, wit, and a plenty of heat.

This is your quintessential Tessa Bailey romcom with a fun holiday twist! The MMC, as usual, is completely obsessed with the FMC and there are quirky character names, a cheesy plot, and a lot of dirty talk! This was a really fun book but I’ve sadly realized nothing will ever compare to It Happened One Summer.

How do I begin my review for this...I love Christmas books so I was expecting this to be like a hallmark love story in a sense. This book was beyond boring I couldn't connect with the main characters. Who names a character beat that really bothers me as well. I did love the cover it was really gorgeous. I hope others like this book but for me personally it wasn't it. My review will only stay on netgalley.

Thank you netgalley, Tessa and the publishers for letting me get an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a fun story about the children of feuding rock divas. The world wants them to reunite and their children are chosen to make it happen. Melody and Beat knew each other as small children but grew up very differently and meet again as adults to get their mothers together. Their adventures and the connection they make with each other make an enjoyable holiday read. Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read this for my honest review.

Can really anything bad be said about Tessa Bailey?! NO WAY!

This book is yet another triumph in steamy Romcom glory from Tessa Bailey! Somehow she made me love her even more though that’s what I find with each and every book. This will be a holiday staple every year. I will be rereading it.

Thank you Netgalley for the arc read!

I am sure I said this last time I read a Tessa Bailey book, but where has she been all of my life? This one was delightful. I literally smiled while I read, laughed out loud, blushed, cried. All of the feelings. It was fantastic!

The Chemistry between Melody and Beat showed itself on page one, and it didn't stop. And when their relationship started, it was steamy! I couldn't read this one fast enough and I was legit sad when it ended, I could read about them forever! I loved the setting, the storyline, the relationship with the mothers. I loved it all. Tess Bailey makes the list of one of my favorite new authors.

Tessa Bailey never disappoints with her books! This one is no exception to that. I loved the characters of course and the comic relief in this one was great! This is a great one to curl up to on a cold day and just enjoy the ride with Melody and Beat.

Melody Gallard is a young lady that likes to stay to herself despite her famous mom. When Melody was growing up her mom was in a band that was famous and put her in the spotlight. Melody never was one of the pretty girls and she knew that she had her share of problems, but didn't appreciate the press pointing out her faults.. Beat Dawkins is the son of one of the other band members. Beat is the same age as Melody and they first meet at the studio when Beat came to Melody's rescue. Melody has had a crush on Beat since they first meet but when their mom's had a falling out, they lost contact with each other and went their own ways.

Melody has a job that allows her to work out of her home some and keeps her from having to face people as a book restorer. She minds her own business so when she gets a call to help reunite her mom, Trina with her long lost bandmate, Octavia, she is surprised and hesitant. Beat on the other hand needs the money because he is being blackmailed again and this time he is threatening to reveal a life-long secret that will ruin him. Melody needs the money to be able to get away from her mom.

The way this folds out is such a good story. I don't want to give too much away so that you can get all the surprises and feelings as you read it for yourself. Tessa Bailey knows how to write a good story though. This one will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can. I hope that you enjoy Melody and Beat as much as I did.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and all opinions are my own. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.
