The Nightmare Before Kissmas

A Royals and Romance Novel

De: Sara Raasch

Narrado por: Ellis Evans

Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Nightmare Before Christmas in a sexy, quirky rom-com where the golden-hearted Prince of Christmas falls for the totally off-limits Prince of Halloween.

Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make-out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night.

But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it.

Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand…and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween.

It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.

was not disappointed.

I was not disappointed and my expectations were high, it's a perfect book for both holholidays and a good blend of holiday magic and reality.

AMAZING!

This story is so cute! I’ve listen to this book twice now. Can’t wait for the second one 🖤

I loved this *so* much!

The sample alone had me cackling like a giddy hag, so I happily handed over my time and token for more. I was not disappointed! The narrator delivers the many jokes with perfection and weaves the poetry of the romance scenes with delightful passion. The characters are fab and I was enthralled by the relationships forming between them. I was also pleased with the political statements and morals of the overall plot. The writer did an excellent job! Wit and romance. Such a perfect pairing.

Perfect escapism book

The perfect book to make you forget about reality and just smile and laugh. Also, the main couple is adorably cute together and the narrator was perfect.

Fantastic MM Holiday RomCom

This book will be on repeat in my head all season long and much longer after the season has passed. I loved everything in this story and cannot recommend it enough. I don’t want to say goodbye to these characters at all. I love them so much and will miss them until my rereads.

Cute!

Imagine Red White & Royal Blue but with the princes of Christmas and Halloween. A bit more palace intrigue than I wanted and less magic than I hoped for, but overall the romance is cute. Great narration.

Communication

This book is absolutely amazing! the open communication between Hex and Cole is such a refreshing concept! It has just the right amount of spice and sweetness. I can't wait to get my hands on the second book! If you love boys love this is a great book for you.

Even better than expected!

I found this book on TikTok and I was looking for a cozy read to get me in the holiday spirit. I’m not at all a romance reader, but this book’s characters and world captured me. I had to get my husband to read it and he also loved it! We really saw ourselves in the characters. As queer men, we love the representation. I’m eagerly awaiting the continuations.

cute book

I really liked this book. it was cute and had a lot of fun

Sensually Gorgeous

This is such a fun listen that I'm now on my 3rd 'read' in the last two weeks. it's light and fun while having enough angst to keep you on your toes. the narrator's voice matches the characters beautifully, and honestly enhance the story tenfold. HIGHLY recommend this book if you're interested in a sweet meet cute (I think that's the right term?) kind of romance!
