About this listen

She’s the one that got away. This Christmas, with my 80-year-old grandmother as my wingman, I'm getting her back.

PAIGE

I’m a dog trainer. I can teach any unruly pup to sit, stay, and not eat the furniture. My ex-boyfriend, however, is a whole other breed. A year ago, Josh became a millionaire after creating a wildly popular video game...about dogs. My idea, by the way. I took one look at his new bank account and ran—all the way to another continent.

Now I’m home for Christmas, and his matchmaking Nana has decided it's time for a reunion. She’s deploying her secret weapon (a guilt-inducing collie) and hiding cookies in the frozen vegetable bag. She's nuts. But the way Josh still looks at me—like he remembers every stupid word I ever made up—makes me wonder if I'm the crazy one for ever leaving.

JOSH

My girlfriend—the only woman who truly understands that dogs are better than people—gave me the idea for a game that made me millions. And then she left me. Says I can’t use my money to take care of her.

Now she's back, and my 80-year-old grandmother is playing puppet master with our lives. Paige says she’s leaving after the holidays, but I see through her tough-girl act. She’s the one who got away, and I was a fool to let her go. Nana's methods may be chaotic, but she's right about one thing: Paige belongs with me. And this time, I’m not taking no for an answer.

This holiday season, a meddling grandma, a virtual dog, and two stubborn exes are about to learn that when it comes to love, there's no such thing as a second take. Get ready for a story that's steamy, hilarious, and full of heart.

Third Party: Merry with the Millionaire is the third book in The Mixed Six-Pack series. This book can be read as a standalone. Paige was the one that got away. Paige and Josh grew up together. Then later in high school they dated. They were very much in love. Paige had a rough childhood after her dad left. Now several years later Josh is visiting back home for the holidays. He is a millionaire living in London. Paige is a dog trainer. Josh’s grandma decided to do a little meddling of her own. They decided to just enjoy each other for a few weeks, but feelings start ramping up. I really enjoyed this book.

Laura Jennings and Chip Hurley did a great job narrating this book.

If you’re looking for that book that instantly transports you into the Christmas spirit, you need to pick up Merry with the Millionaire. Danika Bloom has created a genuinely charming and feel-good story that is both funny and deeply satisfying.

The core of the book is a Second Chance Romance centered on Paige and Josh, who broke up a year ago under complicated circumstances. Now, they are forced back together for the holidays, thanks to the world’s most determined and well-meaning grandmother, Nana.

Why It Works?

What really makes this book special is the way the author handles the second chance trope. It doesn't rely on overly dramatic misunderstandings; instead, the conflict comes from real, relatable baggage. The forced proximity is fantastic, and the banter between Paige and Josh is genuinely witty, making their chemistry believable and easy to root for. Josh, the millionaire, is surprisingly down-to-earth, and Paige is independent and strong, a perfect pairing. and they're actually communicating!!! love this!

This book truly excels as a classic romantic comedy: the pacing is quick, the family dynamics are humorous, and the Christmas setting adds a layer of cozy magic that feels just right for the season.

🎧 A Must-Listen Experience

For anyone who loves audiobooks, this is a phenomenal listen. Laura Jennings and Chip Hurley are excellent narrators. They manage to bring so much depth and warmth to the characters, especially in the funny dialogue moments. Listening to this one really enhances the experience, almost turning it into a lighthearted Christmas movie.

In Short: This is a sweet, satisfying, and funny holiday romance. It’s perfect if you need a low-angst, guaranteed Happily Ever After that feels like a big, warm hug. Highly recommend adding it to your holiday reading list!

The most wonderful time of the year 😍

Coming home for Christmas didn’t involve to stay forever. Or so Paige thought. But seeing the love of her life for ten years again has started to wake up buried feelings. Can Josh and Paige have a second chance at love? Will they be able to forgive and forget all that happened two years ago and be brave enough to face their future together? The audiobook with Laura Jenkins and Chip Hurley makes the story better. Thanks to HomeCooked Books for the ALC. this is my honest review.

This is my second Danika Bloom book and I am hooked on her writing style. It's easy to follow and the characters are relatable. Josh and Paige are high school sweethearts, were engaged and broke up due to work ethics. Josh was completely engrossed in his video game coding and ignored Paige until she couldn't take it anymore. Moving to London seemed like the place to start over for her, but now she's back for the holidays and seeing Josh is stirring all her feelings again. Josh has had time to learn and grow. Understanding the problems these two had was key, but will he be able to convince her he has not only changed, but has given her the freedom she needs. Frustrations and feelings are prominent, and Bloom brings in all the feels. The passion is high and their feelings are strong. Plus dogs. I love the dogs! A fun listen for the holidays and a great addition to the series.

Laura Jennings and Chip Hurley bring this gem alive. Jennings brings Paige's frustrations to the forefront and let me know exactly why things fell apart just with her voice. Hurley is Josh, and he easily voices the change in him as he shows Paige all the ways things are different. Together I was all in and captivated as the story was told. It's a very enjoyable listen.

Just in time for the holidays!

Paige has always loved Josh however her insecurities about their very different financial situations created a rift between them. Due to what happened with her parents she believed she needed to be able to support herself even if that meant leaving town to pursue her career. She has returned home to spend Christmas with her mother before leaving again however seeing Josh again brings up all the feelings she still has for him.

Josh was hurt when Paige didn’t trust him to be there for her and believes she chose her career over him. He is surprised to see her again and he realizes that the love between them hasn’t diminished over time but will this be their second chance or will she leave him for a second time?

I enjoyed seeing Paige and Josh work through the events of the past and they had the best matchmakers in his nana and her family. Chip Hurley was a great choice for Josh as we get to feel his emotions while Laura Jennings gives us insight into why Paige makes the decisions she does.

Josh and Paige!
