Book Synopsis



#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.



Review Quotes




"The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors."
-- Sally Thorne

"Tessa Bailey writes pure magic."
-- Alexis Daria

"One of the genre's very best."
-- Kate Clayborn

"Tessa Bailey's writing stands out in all the right sexy ways." -- Buzzfeed


"Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she's also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there's a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory."
-- Entertainment Weekly

"Tessa Bailey is the queen of rom-coms. Long may she reign!" -- Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute

"Nothing makes my heart catch fire like a Tessa Bailey book. She is all things magic and dirty talk." -- Elena Armas, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Spanish Love Deception

3.5⭐️ It was fun, it was sweet, I was invested in their relationship. Although I did not like how his name was Beat and hers was Melody (and how he literally said “what’s a beat with out a melody during a 🌶️ moment). But over all it was good. Didn’t give as much hallmark Christmas movie vibes as I want for a Christmas book, but I ended up not caring. The one thing I can’t get over… WHY DID HE LEAVE ROCKEFELLER CENTER AFTER MISSING MELODY?!?!

As always, Tessa Bailey delivered a cute story line with some spice sprinkled in. It’s not too holiday-specific to not enjoy it another time of year!

A fun & cheesy holiday read. It felt like I was reading a rated R hallmark movie. Some of the relationship issues were extremely dramatic and frustrating, but you just have to stick with it to see how it all plays out.

This is my 4th book I’ve read by her and such a good one! I’m obsessed with everything she writes. This one had a great story and of course, can make a girl swoon with her dirty talk. Husband got lucky after!

My first Tessa Bailey read and I haft a say I will try her again. I’m one of those readers that need a hook from the start. Slow beginning. Stay invested because by chapter 20 you will get hooked! Easy read.

Don’t be fooled by the cutesy covers on Tessa Bailey’s books because she’s the Queen of dirty talk & you can most definitely expect open door scenes like in this super cute holiday rom-com. Tessa Bailey never disappoints & will always be an auto-buy author for me. It feels more Hallmark movie than over the top festive Christmas but it’s still mostly December in New York lol Anyway, I’m sure you’ve read the synopsis so I won’t bother repeating it. The audiobook is listed as 10 hours 33 minutes and I listened to it in the car on my way around town over the past few days- it made the drive way more entertaining. (I read the paperback version when I wasn't driving) The narrators did a great job and I totally recommend it! It’s definitely worth an Audible credit 😉
