YOU'RE always guaranteed a happy-ever-after ending when Tessa Bailey is in charge of the action, and this sassy, sexy rom-com has everything a romance lover could want this Christmastime.
Wreck the Halls – which features the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert – delivers what US author Bailey (pictured below) does best... dazzling dialogue, raunchy fun, and human chemistry that positively crackles.
Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks).
But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band, the Steel Birds, on live TV, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life… and see him again. Him being the only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.
When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it’s nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show.
While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything... the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.
Expect passion with a capital P as Bailey fires up the festive scene with this unforgettable Christmas cracker. Sugar, spice and all things nice are never far from the action as Mel and Beat play their parts with all the humour, heart and unexpected moments of tenderness that are the hallmarks of this author’s delightful books. A must read for all rom-com fans!
