Description from the publisher:

Abby
After my sister and I lost our parents, life has been up in the air. The only thing we’ve been able to hold on to is our pact to spend every Christmas together, avoiding it like the plague. 
That’s exactly what I’m doing, when a deliciously dimpled man introduces himself the first day I arrive in Cringle Cove. 
There’s nothing wrong with making a friend, right? 
Until our easy friendship turns into a hellacious crush and a favor bred from nightmares. 
For the first time ever, I’d kill for a Christmas miracle.

Dex
For someone who loves everything about the holidays, mine are sure getting off to a terrible start.
The worst part? 
I promised my ex I wouldn’t tell a soul we’d ended things until we’re far away from Cringle Cove. At least, I’m in the most festive town in the country. If everything else goes to hell this week, I’ve got that.
I’m hiding out in a coffee shop when I see Abby. She’s awkward, sarcastic, and obviously miserable here. I’ve never wanted anyone more.
Keep a promise to your ex in exchange for a happy holiday? What the elf was I thinking?

What the Elf? is a multi-POV stand-alone with content intended for mature listeners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
WHAT THE ELF? is the fifth book in the multi-author The Cringle Cove Christmas Chronicles series.  Each is a stand-alone holiday romance and they can be read in any order.

Absolutely adorable.  This is fun, funny, a little bit steamy, definitely not for all ears, and perfectly delightful for a grown up Grinch fan.

I have always loved the Grinch and his green little heart.  Abby’s heart grew and grew and grew, but she still isn’t going to wear that elf costume again! LOL

I wish I had more of this series and more of this author!

Narration:  Jillian Yetter does a wonderful job of providing a mental theater to this fun book.  She uses glottal fry to provide the male voice, which I thought was a unique tool!  Her mastery of pause and elongating words proves her acting ability.  Seeing her name on a book would be a reason to pick it up.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via Audio BookCrave, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
