A Merry Little Meet Cute

Audiobook (Includes supplementary content)

Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star she falls in love with.

Bee Hobbes (aka Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. With a huge following and two supportive moms, Bee couldn't ask for more. But when Bee's favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie he's making for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, Bee's career is about to take a more family-friendly direction.

Forced to keep her work as Bianca under wraps, Bee quickly learns this is a task a lot easier said than done. Though it all becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star is none other than childhood crush Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member in desperate need of career rehab. Nolan's promised his bulldog manager to keep it zipped up on set, and he will if it means he'll be able to provide a more stable living situation for his sister and mom.

But things heat up quickly in Christmas Notch, Vermont, when Nolan recognizes his new co-star from her ClosedDoors account (oh yeah, he's a member). Now Bee and Nolan are sneaking off for quickies on set, keeping their new relationship a secret from the Hope Channel's execs. Things only get trickier when the reporter who torpedoed Nolan's singing career comes snooping around—and takes an instant interest in mysterious newcomer Bee.

And if Bee and Nolan can't keep their off-camera romance behind the scenes, then this merry little meet cute might end up on the cutting room floor.

      Bestseller Murphy (If the Shoe Fits) and Simone (A Lesson in Thorns) take readers on a bumpy but enjoyable ride in this playful holiday romp. Notorious former boy band star Nolan Shaw is on a mission to rehabilitate his playboy image by starring in a wholesome family Christmas movie. Though he’s determined to remain as “pure as driven snow” throughout production, this proves difficult when the producer unknowingly casts Nolan’s favorite porn star, Bianca von Honey (real name Bee Hobbes), as the leading lady. Hardly anyone else on set knows of Bee’s other profession, and though she’s proud of her career as a plus-sized sex worker, Bee knows it would be catastrophic if her secret leaked to the conservative streaming service producing the movie. As chemistry ignites between Bee and Nolan both on- and off-screen, however, it becomes impossible for them to resist each other. There’s a lot of promise to this amusing premise and the authors admirably touch on many feminist themes, but Bee and Nolan’s narrative voices are virtually indistinguishable, and the romance itself remains disappointingly surface level. Readers wanting romance with substance should look elsewhere, but for cheery holiday fluff this works just fine. Agent: John Cusick, Folio Literary Management.

      Bee Hobbs is a successful plus-sized adult film star who works under the sexy stage name Bianca Von Honey. When her favorite producer needs someone to star in a wholesome Hope Channel Christmas movie alongside former boy band member Nolan Shaw, she's all in. Bee must keep her real career under wraps while filming in quaint Christmas Notch, VT, but when Nolan recognizes his coworker, things suddenly get a lot hotter. Narrators Joy Nash and Sebastian York provide lively performances, poking fun at the tropes that Christmas romances are known for while also giving listeners a romance they will love. Both narrators provide plenty of laugh-aloud moments but are sexy enough that listeners may reach for the volume button so the neighbors won't wonder what is going on. VERDICT Murphy (Dumplin') and Simone (Misadventures of a Curvy Girl) have written a steamy Christmas romance that perfectly pairs the chasteness of the Hallmark Channel movies with the steaminess of erotica. This is a must-add romance that will be enjoyed beyond the holiday season.--Elyssa Everling
