It’s Christmastime in Boston, and this year the silver bells will be wedding bells as FBI agent Jules Cassidy ties the knot with the man of his dreams, Hollywood heartthrob Robin Chadwick.
The pair plan a quiet, intimate ceremony, to be witnessed by family and close friends from the FBI, SEAL Team Sixteen, and Troubleshooters, Incorporated, including Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke. But the holiday season brings more to the happy couple than they expect.
A waterfall coming through their kitchen ceiling, a bat colony in the attic, old family tensions . . . even an international incident can’t dampen their spirits. But add to that a parade of unexpected guests, including a reporter looking for a scoop, an ex-lover hell-bent on causing trouble, and a dangerous stalker, and suddenly the wedding is poised to unravel in chaos.
But nothing will stop Jules and Robin from getting their happy ending, because along with a guest list featuring the most elite counterterrorism force in the world, they have their own secret weapon–true love.

What a scenario! Take a Christmas wedding between an actor in alcohol recovery who is under a lot of public scrutiny and his FBI agent lover. Stir in a stalker, a nosy reporter, and various calamities, and you get a romantic and suspenseful comedy of errors. Holland’s beautifully calibrated narration delivers moments of tenderness amid the tensions as well as reflections of the characters’ frustrations and conflicted feelings. He provides an emotional subtext that deepens listener enjoyment. Holland is especially effective in depicting the ambivalence and conflict within Dolphina, the actor’s personal assistant, who is attracted to the reporter yet must remain loyal to her employer, all the while remaining hip deep in coordinating house renovations and wedding preparations. Pure fun. --Whitney Scott
