Welcome to the North Pole, the town where Christmas is everyone’s job.
Jayne Frost is a lot of things. Winter elf, Jack Frost's daughter, Santa Claus's niece, heir to the Winter Throne, and soon to be newlywed.
Now that she and fiancé Sinclair (and their cats, Spider and Sugar) have moved back to the North Pole, they’re firmly entrenched in planning their wedding. With Jayne’s royal heritage, it’s a major undertaking.
And while Jayne is trying to organize the myriad details, Sinclair is taking the necessary classes to learn how to be a royal and adjust to his impending new life as Prince Consort. But with too much assistance from her well-meaning mother and aunt, Jayne quickly gets overwhelmed.
Sinclair suggests calling a friend to help, the ever-resourceful Birdie Caruthers. Jayne does, and Birdie is thrilled to pitch in. Not long after she arrives, however, the trio discovers the most terrible thing in the wedding carriage.
Will this dreadful discovery derail the wedding? Or can they solve the problem in time to make it to the altar unscathed? Make no bones about it, this is some serious trouble.

While none of the books were great literature it was entertaining enough for long car rides and a lot of the characters were quirky and fun.
But Sinclair is as one dimensional and bland and vomit inducingly good and sweet as a 5 year olds princess themed birthday. He does not bring one spec of entertainment value to the story line, he does nothing wrong has no emotions or thoughts of his own, he is simply there to provide a happily ever after.
The first half of the book is devoted to the mystery, the only character from mystery falls that reoccurs is Birdie, who, outside of her usual setting of the police station, internet researcher/hacker and werewolf becomes nothing but a weird older woman hanging out with a bunch of much younger people and constantly petting their hands saying “there, there, it’ll be ok”. Once the mystery is solved, as per usual Jane lumbers around in the dark and then suddenly answers are flung at her without her previously connected any dots or coming to any conclusions herself, we move on with the wedding theme. Almost 40 minutes of listening time has to be wasted on Jane describing the wedding, her guest, the ceremony so on and so on. Spiders wedding, much like the answers to the murder, comes completely unprepared, one moment he’s sleeping, next minute he demands to get married, two sentences are said, done. It was unnecessary and boring, cringy even.
Then we have to bring the villainess back just to show how utterly helpless and useless Jane is and try to connect the first half of the book to the second to show why this is in fact not two entirely separate volumes.
After vaguely mentioning sexy time possibly happening throughout the entire book series, with both Cooper and Grayson, nothing seems to be happening between Jane and her fiancé. They live separately, never change in front of each other and quite frankly don’t seem too eager to spend any time physically close to each other. After the wedding they make a big plan to finally consummate their marriage and relationship but when they realize that it’s breakfast time they shrug it off so as to not let their parents wait.
The speaker herself was fine as always, each character had their own voice, distinguishable from each other but always noticeably voiced by a woman.
Overall it feels like the author has to fulfill her contract and write one more book and she did so as uninspired and unenthusiastically as one expected from someone forced to write several hundred pages on a topic and a set of characters they have no interest in and no intention of ever revisiting. It’s a sad, annoying and disappointing end to a series that started out with plenty of interest characters, lovely scene setting and great potential.
Thank goodness it’s the last one
