a jingle Bell Mingle

an instant usa today bestseller!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes a new holiday rom-com—’tis the season for second chances!

What happens when there’s no room at the inn and you and your potentially demonic cat become roommates with your grumpy one-night stand?

Part-time adult film actress/adult film director/makeup artist Sunny Palmer has accidentally sold her very first screenplay to the Hope Channel. That was six months ago. Fast forward to a looming deadline, and a floundering Sunny has returned to the source of her inspiration in Christmas Notch, Vermont, to immerse herself in the local Christmas miracle on which her fever dream of a movie pitch was based.

Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town’s historic mansion. After putting his music career on hold for years while he recovered from the heartbreak of losing his young wife, his record label has given him an ultimatum: write some new music or lose his contract. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace?

But after their best friends’ wedding leads to them waking up together in a freezing motel room with questionable wiring and a broken shower, Isaac takes a chance and asks Sunny to stay with him at his home. Surely the place is big enough that he’ll hardly see her or her unhinged cat. But when the two discover they’re both creatively blocked, they make a handshake deal: Isaac will help Sunny hunt down the truth behind the local lore, and Sunny will find Isaac a new muse.

And with these two opposites under one roof, there’s no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script…right?

Praise for A Jingle Bell Mingle:

“Readers won’t be able to put down the third ‘Christmas Notch’ story (following A Holly Jolly Ever After), a quirky, hot opposites-attract romance.” — Library Journal, starred review

“From bestselling duo Murphy and Simone comes the hilarious and sexy third installment of the Christmas Notch series. Murphy and Simone continue to mine gold from juxtaposing the expectations set by Hallmark movies with the messiness of real life. Series fans—and anyone looking for Christmas romance with an edgier twist—will find plenty to enjoy.” — Publisher’s Weekly

“…spicier than the most assertive gingerbread cookie.” — People Magazine

“Boy, when I say my flabbers were gasted I mean it. This whole series is hilarious and raunchy. I loved all of it!” — Emily P, Goodreads

“This book had me in absolute hysterics. No joke, I was crying from laughing so hard while reading this in the parent pickup line in my car. The humor in this book is top-tier and exactly what I wanted and didn't know I needed in a Holiday Romance. […] If you're someone who loves to snuggle up and watch a good cheesy Christmas romance, but wished there was more humor, a lot more steam, and more queer representation, A Jingle Bell Mingle is for you!” — mysticalblaise, Goodreads

“The relationship between Sunny and Isaac was so achingly sweet, the pining and desire and my god the LONGING.” — Courtney F, Goodreads

“My first Christmas Notch novel! Why have I been sleeping on these?? […] I thought this book would be a syrupy sweet romance (clearly I knew nothing of this series going in), so I was pleasantly surprised to find sarcastic/witty banter, extra spicy smutty scenes, and a beautiful story between two broken people that are drowning in grief.” — Jamie M, Goodreads

“…the perfect culmination of the Christmas Notch series—the rare series that really just kept getting better.”— Caroline, Goodreads

“I cannot come to terms with the end of one of the BEST Christmas romcom series I've ever read.

I absolutely loved these characters, they're all a little unhinged, they're all a little imperfect, and they're all hilarious. Christmas Notch is one of my favourite fictional towns, and I'm not ready to leave!” — Rachel, Goodreads

“…simultaneously charming, hilarious, filthy, sad, cathartic, vulgar, and sweet. I get the feeling that Sierra Simone and Julie Murphy have had a great time writing this series, and it definitely translated to my reading experience.”— Devon, Goodreads

“…a sexy romp that also provides a nuanced and thoughtful discussion of the grief and how we process it. But also ripped tights, gingerbread lotion (iykyk), proposals and Mr. Tumnus wrapping everyone around his finger.” — Ashlyn, Goodreads
