It was sun to get swept up in this short holiday book from Award, bringing in a little Kingman universe. I’ve read all the Kingman books, which is not needed to enjoy this sweet but spicy romance. It has some of my favorite representation of plus size and body positivity. Overall the book was great and fun.

As far as the narration goes, the duel POV and duel narration worked well. Both narrators did a good job, especially with the fowl content of Sir Honks a-lot.

4.5 "FLUFFY" stars!

I just had the BEST afternoon listening to this entire holiday novella, which is perfect for any time of year!

Sarah Jane and Mac bond during a wild goose chase, literally! Their fast friendship develops into natural chemistry. Mac is a yummy delicious cinnamon roll hero, willing to lend a hand and play along in whatever schemes Sarah Jane cooks up, and she cooks up a BIG ONE! The two of them pretend to be engaged so they can house sit, and you'll never believe this, but there's only one bed!

I ADORED this story. Amy Award prefaces this book with the disclaimer that it's meant to be fluff, and it was EXACTLY what the doctor ordered! Sweet and spicy love scenes? Check! Fun and engaging plot twists that weren't too angsty? Done! Creative tie-ins with the Cocky Kingmans Universe? You bet! I also adored the body positivity and curve appreciation that were woven throughout the story. The way he loved her body!!! Chef's kiss!

The narrators did a great job on this book. So glad I got to listen. I can't wait to read more in this series! 🏈

Trigger warnings: couple unable to conceive (off page), concerns regarding safety and acceptance after coming out, unrealistic body expectations by society on women (touched on briefly)

I'd like to thank Dreamscape Media for the audio ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this audiobook book.

I have seen books in the series but have not had the pleasure of reading them yet. I was excited to receive this book and it did not disappoint.

I knew from the opening that this book would be funny. The author pulled me in right away with a good laugh.

The story was quick but was not lacking. Many novellas don't feel full but this one did!

The narrators were fantastic. I really enjoyed listening to them.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ALC of this novella.

I adore this series and always love a cute little Christmas novella! As always Amy provides us with a plus-size sassy FMC and a man that absolutely worships her just the way she is. And obviously a quirky pet - in this case - Honkers the goose.

Since this is a novella, there wasn’t much time to truly develop depth in a relationship, so it was very insta-live with the main couple. I would’ve liked to see more development before they fell in love, etc.

The fluff lives up to the hype. It was hot and spicy and everything nice. An enjoyable fake fiancé trope and continuation to the series.

I read this book back in December but I was so excited that I received this ALC copy of the audiobook.

This is a cute holiday novella. Struggling sports agent Mac meets with his client at a Oktoberfest for a meeting to discuss his career, Tommy (client) is drunk… The waitress Sarah is beautiful and Mac is immediately attracted to her.

After a little bit Mac saves a goose for Sarah, they decide to find the goose a home. Sarah is a bit of an animal rescuer.

Gives all the giddy feels,
Dual narration but the voices are perfect, this is a prequel to the cocky kings man series!

Thanks to Netgalley for the ALC. As always, this series continues to be a dorky little endorphin boost. I always reach for these for a silly, spicy little pick-me-up.
