Hoilday Rom-Com Perfection!

The Very Holiday series is my favorite series from any author, and I’m so excited to have these books all together in one box set. While each story centers around a different holiday, they’re each so much fun that you’ll want to listen all year long. They have the swooniest men and the most relatable women. They’re filled with witty banter, nonstop swoons, next level steam, and tender moments all mixed with memorable side characters, occasional fart jokes, and fun pop culture references.

The series begins with A Very Bossy Christmas, which remains one of my most favorite books. We meet grumpy lawyer Declan Cannavale and his smart, sassy assistant Maddie as they navigate not only the busy Christmas season, but their undeniable attraction to each other. It’s steamy, bantery, and so heartfelt. You’ll fall head over heels for this story!

In A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day, you’re certain to fall for Declan’s brother Eddie too (another hot Cannavale man with a big heart and a great butt), and his sweet, nerdy best friend Birdie, who he wishes was so much more. Their train ride together sets things in motion and is the scene for a heart melting Romeo monologue that you will want to listen to over and over again. Their love story is funny, amazingly tender, and so sweet!

A Very Vegas St. Patrick’s Day is the last book in the set but the first book in the series that is co-written with Connor. His writing perfectly compliments Kayley’s in every way, and he clearly has a gift for writing a scorching hot love scene. Nolan Cassidy is Declan and Eddie’s handsome, swoony Irish cousin, and his chemistry with Cora is off the charts. When he says, “Our souls have traveled the world and found home,” I was close to melting right on the spot. It’s romantic comedy perfection with an Irish twist and some hilarious, Vegas-y fun mixed in.

All of the laughter, swoons and tenderhearted moments from these fantastic love stories are made even more amazing in the audio versions. The acting by Connor Crais and Mackenzie Cartwright is incredible. They give stellar performances as the main characters and a whole host of unique and hilarious family members. They are masterful in their portrayal of every character, every emotion, and every voice. They make these stories all the more wonderful!

It’s the Most Wonderful Box Set of the Year

There is nothing not to love about this box set as the “Very Holiday” series is some of Kayley Loring’s best work and with the box set, we get the first 3 books of the series and THEE best narration!! With A Very Bossy Christmas and A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day, we get to see more of the RomComs we’ve grown to love from Kayley where she is executing just the most perfect, charming storylines with such well thought out writing that will always have you not only falling completely in love with all of the characters but also laughing out loud because of the quick wit and clever banter. And the musical references. Those sharp, well-placed musical references are what makes Kayley such a master of her craft, knowing exactly when and how to use them for the best effect. Throw in the swoon and spice and you won’t want to stop listening!! No matter your trope of choice, this series is bound to have at least one of them and it has all the hilarious (and sometimes drunken) voicemails and text messages you never knew you needed as it brings out the best snort-inducing laughs you’ll be thinking about long after you’re done listening!!

With the Very Holiday series, we are introduced to the Irish-Italian Cannavale/O’Sullivan/Cassidy families and friends. While all of books in the series intertwine with each other and we hear little tidbits about all of the characters we’ve grown to love throughout, each of the books focuses on one leading man and his lady love!

In A Very Bossy Christmas we’ve got Declan, a successful lawyer who is the most alpha of all alpha males… he’s cocky and he works too much but dang if he’s isn’t also the swooniest and most lovable at the same time, especially when you get to know him! And the filthy mouth on that one… this guy is the ultimate book boyfriend. Until we meet Eddie, Declan’s brother, in A Very Friendly Valentine’s Day. Giving book boyfriends everywhere a run for their money. He’s a Hollywood actor and ends up on a cross-country train ride with his longtime best friend (who just happens to be a woman of course!) These 2 have the sweetest (and funniest) friends-to-lovers coupling and are so lovable, you can’t get enough of them and the shenanigans that ensue… so so great!!

Rounding out the 3rd main man in the first box set of the series is Nolan Cassidy, an Irish cousin to Declan and Eddie who is full of piss and vinegar. With A Very Vegas St. Patrick’s Day, we get to see the co-writing skills of the man himself, the male narrator for the Very Holiday Series, Mr. Connor Crais. Connor absolutely dominates not only the series, making each character unique in their own way so as to stand out from the others, but as Nolan Cassidy, he crushes the Irish accent and gives you the real life heart eyes emoji while you swoon. As a co-writer, Connor blends so well with Kayley that it’s hard to know where one of their writing ends and the other’s begins. The comedic timing and heart put behind the writing to not only make what you’re reading and listening to a great story but to be the kind of story that will have you talking about it with and recommending it to your friends long after the fact is what makes Kayley and Connor’s writing next level, making them a forever favorite!!
