We did a little searching for Christmas-themed romances released in 2021 for your holiday listening!

What a fun list! I’ve listened to several, including A Very Genre Christmas (really enjoyed it), A Merry Measure (loved it in print and audio), The Geek Who Saved Christmas (sweet story), and Angels in the City (an absolute favorite in print, but the narration wasn’t quite as good as hoped).
I added Stay With You after reading Caz’s review. Anyone want to share what they’ve listened to from this list and enjoyed? Mr.Jingle Bells keeps popping upon my radar. Anyone listened to that one?
Unfortunately, I haven’t listened to that one yet – I have it on my wish list, but it’s a bit longer than the norm (over 15 hours) and I’m not sure I’m going to get around to it this year! I’ve enjoyed a number of the author’s books and have generally been a fan of Nick Hudson’s work although the last time I listened to him (in Coddiwomple) didn’t work for me all that well for me.
I haven’t listened to the Keira Andrews, although I did read it last year when it came out. It was an okay, C+/B- read; I much preferred The Christmas Deal, which came out in audio last year. John Solo did a decent job although he’s no Greg, Joel or Gary…
I’ve listened to Merry Measure, which was lovely, obviously.
I’m part way through listening to Stuck With You, which I’m enjoying but so far think I liked the audios of A Boyfriend for Christmas and Secret Santa more – that may change as I get further into the story, of course. Both are also by Jay Northcote and narrated by Hamish Long.
I’ve read, but not listened to, three of the others listed:
Angels in the City was great, Her Pretend Christmas Date was sweet and I didn’t much care for Merry Cherry Christmas.
I read Mr Frosty Pants, which is in the same series as Mr Jingle Bells, last week and didn’t really enjoy it.
I’ve got Keira Andrew’s Gay Romance Holiday Collection, which contains four of her stories narrated by Kirt Graves, but I haven’t listened to it yet.
I read Mr Frosty Pants as well and thought it was just “okay”, but I’ve read other Leta Blake books and really enjoyed them, so the new one is still a definite maybe.
I LOVED Angels in the City – in print. There’s something about Dan Calley’s narration that just doesn’t work for me.
