Sunny Shelly’s Review: Christmas Staycation by Meghan Quinn

🎄

Christmas Staycation is AVAILABLE NOW!

An all new laugh-out-loud, spicy Christmas romance from New York Times bestselling author Meghan Quinn.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fiancés, family pressure, and accidentally falling for your ex’s brother.

Nolan never met a spotlight he didn’t like. As a major league baseball player with a filthy mouth, an ego the size of the North Pole, and zero interest in behaving, he’s perfectly happy breezing into Christmas in Kringletown like the charming disaster everyone expects him to be.

Taran, on the other hand, has made an art form out of keeping the peace. She’s polished, careful, and so committed to making everyone else happy that she’s somehow agreed to a fake wedding with her ex just to keep her family’s holiday from imploding.

There’s only one problem: the ex in question is Nolan’s brother, and Nolan sees right through her. He knows Taran deserves better than pretending her way through life.

And he’d really like “better” to be him.

Now Taran is juggling family expectations, holiday chaos, and a man who is far too cocky, far too funny, and far too determined to bulldoze every wall she’s ever built.

But with Christmas closing in, secrets snowballing, and one very fake engagement threatening to blow up in spectacular fashion, this holiday season is about to get messy. And someone’s sure to end up on the naughty list.

🎄Christmas Staycation is available now in paperback, KU, and audio.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Christmas Staycation is another hilarious addition to Meghan Quinn’s Kringletown series of holiday romcoms. And holy crap, was it funny! I mean, Queen Quinn is always funny. But this one just went into overdrive and I found myself snorting so many times!

Readers know Taran as Storee’s sister from How My Neighbor Stole Christmas, and we met Nolan as a side character in her most recent novel, Just for the Plot. Did any of us have any idea that fratbro Nolan was the brother of buttoned-up Guy (Guystopher?!? Bwahahaha). Nope, I had no idea. And that was a treat!

This whole book was a treat! Like the others in this series, the plot is inspired by a classic holiday film; this time, it is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, complete with Nolan rolling into town in his RV, wearing a short bathrobe, going sledding, and so much more, all leading up to an epic Clark Griswold meltdown by Taran as the stress of faking a Christmas wedding catches up with her.

Nolan was so amazing with Taran; who knew? Sure he’s all jokes and smiles, but he saw Taran in a way that Guy never had. And he let himself be vulnerable with Taran in a way that was absolutely charming.

If you have the chance to listen to this audiobook, I highly recommend it! There is a full cast narration with Shane East, Brandon Francis, Kelsey Navarro Foster, Vanessa Edwin, JF Harding, Teddy Hamilton, but Brandon Francis and Kelsey Navarro Foster absolutely SLAY it as Nolan and Taran.

Don’t risk getting on the Naughty List! Read Christmas Staycation today!
