Ready, Set, Glow!

Christmas Falls, Book 8

By: Rye Cox

Narrated by: Zachary Zaba

There is nothing more annoying than Christmas...

I see the irony of being the owner of a Christmas tree farm and hating the very holiday that keeps my family business alive, but Christmas Falls takes this season way too seriously with their festive business names to the sheer merriment that envelops the entire town.

I'm no grinch, but I can relate to one being surrounded by all this jubilance. It doesn't help when a new part-timer joins the tree farm and is the very embodiment of joy, starting from his name—Felix Joy.

He's ten years younger than me, and I feel the age difference every second I interact with him. His enthusiasm exhausts me, yet I can't stay away, even if it means I have to deal with the ridiculous nickname he forces onto me.

He's melting the fatigue of Christmas, but I'll never admit it. I'm ready for all the blinding lights to come down, for him to leave, and to finally get some peace and quiet.

Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.

Teddy bear goodness

The absolute JOY -pun 100% intended- of this story is the teasing banter, the wholesome vulnerability & sweet adoration of new love, along with all the charms of Christmas Falls & its cast. I definitely giggled out loud at times and grinned indulgently at many others. Felix & Bruce’s story has quickly risen to my favorite of the Christmas Falls series… quite the task as the others are so wonderful too!

The performance of Felix’s voice was my immediate favorite of all the characters, but Bruce’s burly depth grew on me by the end of the first chapter. It was ever so easy to fall into the mental cinematic of the story with such flawless reading. A smooth & purely enjoyable performance overall, in my humble opinion.

A Grumpy Bear Gets His Sunshine Love

This is such a cute holiday grumpy/sunshine story. Bruce seems such a grump but all he needed was the proper sunshine from Felix. I really enjoyed reading their story. The audiobook for this made the story even more enjoyable. Zachary Zaba's performance was perfect for this.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Great humor

This is a great age gap Christmas listen. I love how the Christmas tree farm is owned by a grumpy gentleman!

Cute MM Christmas Romance

The tree farmer needed his angel. I enjoyed Felix and Bruce’s story. This book was festive for a snowy, holiday listen and brought in the spice to melt our hearts.

Ready, Set, Glow is part multi author Christmas Falls series. Each book is a standalone but I enjoy reading all the books in a series. This book is about Bruce the owner of a Christmas tree farm and Felix Joy his younger employee. I really enjoyed this book. I love the characters and the way they are written. This is another great holiday story. I love how seamlessly all the books in the series fit together. Rye Cox is an amazing author and I look forward to more books by her. If you get the audio narration, Zachary Zaba does a wonderful job of narrating this series. He makes the change in characters seamlessly. I can't wait to listen to the next book he does. I would definitely recommend this book and series.
