@romancelandia

Could you help me? I'm looking for very specific rec for a friend who's not here.

They're looking for genre romances with three things:

1- available as audiobooks
2- main characters are at least 35 or older (45+ preferable)
3- Set at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and/or New Year (not inspirational/Christian fiction though)

Help?

(please boost to widen reach)

I looked through our database, and I'm sadly not coming up with anything that meets all three criteria (including several sexy santa books with older protags that are not on audio). I'll keep my eye out though!

The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss? She's 34 at least.

Teach Me by Olivia Dade has the age right, but it takes place the whole school year, but for some reason I thought I remembered a winter festival? Probably not the right holiday feel.

While I don't personally recommend the first book, the second book of Her Naughty Holiday by Tiffany Reisz I enjoyed IMMENSELY. It's one of those delios from Harlequin where they packaged 2 together into an audiobook. My review:

@herhandsmyhands @romancelandia I'm really only 1/3 but if Kindle TTS is acceptable as "audiobook" my MCs are 41 and 34 in book 1. (Links in profile.)

The holiday content is very light, mostly glancing mentions of holiday displays in book 2, not a major plot consideration.

@herhandsmyhands @romancelandia I want to say the MCs in the Holiday with the Wongs by Jackie Lau are late 20s or early 30s. But each novella is a different holiday: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chinese NY and Valentines. Some of the MCs may be over 35 but I can’t recall now. Sorry.
