About this listen
James Brooks, the Chief of Staff to the President, is hoping for some downtime to rekindle his connection with his wife, Ashley, amidst the challenges of raising their young children. However, his plans quickly go awry when he takes over parenting duties for their mischievous two-year-old daughter, Avery. What starts as a simple task soon spirals into a series of humorous and heartwarming moments that define the chaos of family life during the holiday season.
Meanwhile, other members of the Brooks family are dealing with their own parenting challenges. Nick and Ericka are busy managing their lively twins, Vernon and Rene are handling their son’s stubborn streak, and Xavier and Nicole are navigating the joys and trials of raising a daughter. From potty training mishaps to decorating disasters, each family faces the ups and downs of parenting toddlers during Christmas. Yet, through it all, love, laughter, and family unity keep them grounded during this festive time.
The holiday takes an unexpected turn when the teenage children decide to take over babysitting duties, giving the parents a rare night of peace and quiet. With a break from the chaos, the Brooks parents finally have a chance to reconnect and enjoy the spirit of the season.
Filled with humor, tender moments, and the magic of family traditions, Christmas Eve at the Brooks is a perfect holiday story. Iris Bolling’s charming storytelling and relatable characters remind us that even in the midst of holiday craziness, the love and joy of being surrounded by family are what truly make the season special. This heartwarming novel is perfect for listeners who enjoy stories about love, family, and festive fun.

Story
Angie is taking a serious break from dating. At least, she thought she was until she comes across the finest man she’s ever seen — the new handyman in her building. Angie knows what she wants in a man, and Law doesn't seem to be it. But that doesn’t mean she can’t get to know him, right? Law is focused on rebuilding his life as a free man. That rebuild doesn’t include getting involved with anyone, especially not the bougie girl at his job who always needs something fixed.

Story
Megatron Loric Manfield is the definition of perfect imperfection. He is not scared to love—he just knows that when it comes along, he wants it to be God-sent. When the right woman comes along, he will fall in line to receive his favor. Ruth Lindsay Gordon is saved, sheltered, and suffocated. Being a preacher’s kid is never easy and even harder when the preacher sometimes references himself more than the God he claims to serve. Desperately, she wants to be released from the hold that is her father, so she prays for God to send her Boaz. They say to be careful what you pray for.
