Wreck the Halls: A Heartwarming Holiday Rom-Com Featuring Music Royalty and Second Chances
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey delivers a sexy, hilarious standalone holiday rom-com about the adult children of two former rock stars who team up to convince their estranged mothers to play a Christmas Eve concert…
Melody Gallard may be the daughter of music royalty, but her world is far from glamorous. She spends her days restoring old books and avoiding the limelight (one awkward tabloid photo was enough, thanks). But when a producer offers her a lot of money to reunite her mother’s band on live tv, Mel begins to wonder if it’s time to rattle the cage, shake up her quiet life… and see him again. The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.
Beat Dawkins, the lead singer’s son, is Melody’s opposite—the camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader. Still, they might have been best friends if not for the legendary feud that broke up the band. When they met as teenagers, Mel felt an instant spark, but it’s nothing compared to the wild, intense attraction that builds as they embark on a madcap mission to convince their mothers to perform one last show.
While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, she’s never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everything—the Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Wreck the Halls* by Tessa Bailey is a fun, fast, and steamy holiday rom-com with charming moments and trademark spicy scenes. Many enjoy ...
1. The cover is very deceiving because this book in it's entirely did not give any Christmas vibes at all so if you are expecting a cozy Christmas read I will spoil this much for you that don't bother. Though to be fair I did not go into this with the expectation of this being a Christmas read as it was recommended to me and I already had an idea of what to expect, I just want to put it out there in case anyone is interested in reading it thinking its a Christmas Romance.
2. My toxic trait is I like corny/cheesy lines however the line "There is no Beat without a Melody" Tessa darling this just made me roll my eyes, it was just horrible, so sorry but I could have done without that.
Overall I like the book, it's a fast read, it was fun and had some cute moments and nothing to deep to stress me out. I will not dissect this book because for one I am not a writer, I'm not a critic, I am simply someone that likes to read books for fun and likes to recommend the ones I enjoy.
I definitely would recommend this to anyone who loves to read silly, cheesy, romance that doesn't need to have so much depth to it but has some pretty good spice to it. I laughed, rolled my eyes but most of all had fun reading this. ❤️
But I can’t give any more stars to the smut. It’s like the characters turn into porn stars with the dirty talk and it’s completely out of character in a lot of ways. Like who talks like that? Look, it’s porn. That’s fine if that’s what you’re looking for. It serves its purpose, I suppose. But it doesn’t go with the rest of the story. It’s not really sexy, just dirty. I think this is par for the course for Tessa Bailey though.
Oh. My. God. Unexpectedly lovely. A love story we can all dream of. Wish that was me honestly, god where’s mine
