Jingle Bell Hell

Bad Luck Club

By: Denise Grover Swank, A.R. Casella

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi, Tyler Donne

She’s a sexually repressed control freak. He’s a muscular ex-con with heavier baggage than Santa’s toy bag. They’re everything each other never wanted.

Mary

I’m usually the first person on my block to decorate for Christmas. This year? Humbug.

My six-year-old son, Aidan, just had a meltdown after learning some hard truths from a drunk Santa impersonator, and I can no longer deny we both need help. Change is hard for Aidan, and right now he’s dealing with several big ones, including A) his father abandoning us, B) our move to Asheville, and C) the Santa snafu.

And me? I’m a control freak, and my life is more out-of-control than a sled on ice.

That’s why I agree to let Aidan join Butterfly Buddies, a group that matches kids with adult mentors.

It’s also why I agree to a mentor of my own - terrifying, pink-haired Nicole, who wants to help me live life on the wild side. Her advice is strangely compelling, especially after I meet Aidan’s new “buddy”, a gorgeous tattooed hunk of a man who makes me wish there weren’t cobwebs in my...well, you know.

Jace

Mary O’Shea is sexy as hell, but she doesn’t know it.

She also doesn’t know I’m an ex-con, and if she finds out that I served three years in prison, extenuating circumstances won’t matter to her.

The last thing I should do is get attached to her kid...or her, but I didn’t get in this position by making good decisions.

Great story

I liked this story about Jace an# Mary. I really liked how Jace understood about the needs of Aiden being on the spectrum of autism and wanting to help. Mary became more confident, too. This is a wonderful series. Tyler Donne and Amanda Ronconi brought everyone to life with their narration.

Quirky romance

This quirky holiday romance was better than I expected. Lots of romance and humorous moments. The narrator voices were okay. I’m interested in hearing Tina’s story.

Best one yet

This is my absolute favorite book by two of my favorite authors. I read the book when it was released and had to come back and listen. The narrators are amazing. They completely brought the story to life and made it even better which I didn't think was possible.

Excellent!!!!

This is book 2 from the Bad Luck Club series!

This book is my favorite so far...

I just LOVE Jace and Mary's story!! Tons of laughs!

For me the star of this book is Aiden... I just LOVE him!!

Mary's autistic son is brutally honest and innocent. He is VERY literal. and reminds me so much of my autistic nephew, they did a great job of portraying many of the true characteristics of someone on the spectrum!

Great Job Ladies!! My favorite so far!

Good story, a lot of sex though

Good funny story, it’s a love story… I’m enjoying this series, but wow there’s definitely a lot of sex in this one. well written, not tacky, good story very heartwarming but yes it’s got six in it. Lol!
