About this listen

From the #1 bestselling author Leeanne Slade, get into the festive spirit with a comedy about rings, reunions and reconciliations.

This Christmas is a special one for Kitty and Leo: not only is it their first since becoming an official couple, but it’s the first in their brand new home. After a whirlwind summer together, they are planning to spend the Christmas period curled up in front of the open fire, exchanging gifts and making new traditions.

But when not one, but two sets of in-laws but two sets of in-laws unexpectedly arrive on Christmas morning, they are forced to host Kitty’s Mum and her aggressively frisky cat, Kitty’s Dad and his Scrooge-like attitude, and Leo’s Mum and her treasured family heirloom: a diamond ring she wants Leo to give to Kitty. Kitty and Leo thought they had this Christmas all figured out. . . It might be time to think again.

For listeners who fell in love with Kitty and Leo in THE REBOUND, and for those meeting them for the first time, get ready to swoon - and laugh - under the mistletoe.

Featuring an original theme song written by by Shelly McErlaine, with lyrics by Leeanne Slade, performed by Hey Ho.

Loved it a great follow up to the first story. The characters were very relatable. I could imagine it being a film

It was funny and very sweet

I have to be honest and say the male Narrator gave me the ick! I listened to The Rebound and then this one straight after - I was not expecting Leo to sound so… so….. almost sleezy! I only carried on listening because I was so invested in the story. Not quite as good as The Rebound but not too bad (even if I did grimace every time Leo spoke!)

Not as good as the first one

This Christmas was a delightful 4 star read and a perfect length sequel that successfully brought a great blend of characters all under one roof. I was glad to see the lovely relationship development between Leo (the perfect boyfriend) and Kitty. Although the book was spicier than previous books and occasionally a bit corny/mushy, it was balanced out by hilarious moments (my favourite being the cat attacking the turkey!). The ending was lovely, making this a warm, feel-good holiday read.

A Delightful, Heartwarming & Spicy Holiday Sequel

I'm usually a "no Christmas spirit until December" kinda gal, but there was no way I was waiting until then to hear about some of my all time favourite audio book characters. Leo and Kitty have my whole heart and this story was just the most gorgeous heart warming delightful next chapter. Funny, sexy, sweetly heartbreaking (nearly cried & I NEVER cry in an audiobook), real, swoony and just... everything!

The narration was incredible (helloooo Tom Bateman's deep voice! phew! might need a minute) and just kept you enchanted the whole time.

I am a huge fan of Leanne Slade and this has just reinforced it for yet another time.

Moooore please!!

Utter perfection - as always!

This was so funny in parts I was genuinely laughing out loud. Claudia was great again and I loved Tom’s voice for Leo. I recommend listening to the rebound first though!!
