Narrator N'Jameh Camara energetically voices single-mother Poppy Patterson and her son, Ace, as they connect with his dad, football star TK Moore. Camara is a good match for Poppy's first-person honesty as she expresses her feelings of doubt and fear about what football might do to her life. Her droll tones play up situational humor, sometimes to the point of laugh-out-loud snark. Ace has a higher voice that differentiates him and emphasizes his boyish antics. Camara does fumble in attempting to enunciate every word clearly and has some awkward pauses. During the romantic scenes, she becomes calm and quiet, failing to match Martin's textual intensity. Nonetheless, the issue-driven topic and Camara's inviting narration will keep listeners engaged with Poppy's story.

Holiday hijinks and misunderstandings are cheerily narrated by CJ Bloom and Lee Samuels in this enemies-to-lovers romance. After kissing Anthony Russo under the mistletoe to make her longtime crush jealous, romance author Delilah Gill realizes she might have made a mistake. Anthony kisses just like the heroes she's always written about, but he has no interest in being a part of Delilah's games. Bloom's and Samuels's deliveries of the comic banter between Delilah and Anthony are supported by their portrayals of the large cast of secondary characters. This audiobook is perfect for listeners who enjoy rom-coms and small-town settings.
