The Rules of Mistletoe

About This Audiobook

Holly Nelson has mapped out romance with the precision of a spreadsheet, right down to the guy who won’t chew with his mouth open and absolutely must know how to fold a fitted sheet. Her list of rules isn’t just long—it’s a personal constitution. But when she returns to her small hometown for the holidays and collides with Camden Carter, the charmingly messy mechanic who’s never met a spreadsheet he didn’t want to burn, Holly’s carefully ordered world starts to wobble. Epperson serves up a contemporary holiday romance that’s less about snow-dusted clichés and more about the quiet, disarming power of someone who sees you—not your checklist—and still decides you’re worth keeping. The humor is warm and wry, the tension is deftly balanced, and the setting feels like wrapping yourself in a favorite sweater: familiar, comforting, and impossible to resist once you’ve started. Narrator Lisa Lynn Sandlin turns in a performance that feels like listening to your most entertaining best friend recount a holiday disaster—full of personality, with just the right cadence to sell both Holly’s meticulousness and Camden’s chaotic charm. Expect a steady stream of giggles, a handful of swoons, and a satisfying reminder that love doesn’t always follow the rules—sometimes, it invents better ones along the way.
