This was enjoyable! I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick, light-hearted romance. I love Tessa Bailey and look forward to her next Duology!

Thanks Netgalley for letting me read this book, it was so much better than I hoped for tessa bailey does books well and I love all of them I cant wait for this one to come out so I can read it again beat and melody are just fantastic together they make each other better.

Read an early copy of a Tessa Bailey book? Yes, please! I've come to expect the unexpected from Bailey, at least in terms of her stories. I know I can always count on her characters to be passionate, full, and in possession of robust sense of humor. That, and a lot of spice. (Like, a lot. But you already knew that if you have read any Tessa Bailey books before.)

Wreck the Halls begins with us meeting the offspring of the astoundingly famous members of the now-defunct rock band, Steel Birds. Beat and Melody have an instant connection, mainly because there is no one else in the world who can understand what they have gone through as the children of their famous mothers. They each make an indelible impression on each other.

We meet up with them again years later when Beat is approached by a cable network producer who wants to film a reality show trying to get Steel Birds back together. The only reasons Beat even considers the offer is to potentially see Melody again, and the fact that he needs money to pay off his blackmailer.

Both Melody and Beat explore the people they are and who they are meant to be throughout the reality show. As one person writes on a sign: Beat + Melody = Couple Goals, and I'd have to agree.

Wreck the Halls at first felt like a deviation from Bailey's previous books, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. However, while it had a slow start, once I was hooked I couldn't put it down. I will continue to be an avid Tessa Bailey fan.

First things first, I love that the main characters' names are Beat and Melody. I found that hilarious. Beat and Melody were likable leads and, as always, this book features Bailey's signature wit and easy banter. However, the Christmassy cover and description of the book being "a holiday rom-com" made me think this book would be much more festive than it was. The most festive it got was a snowball fight in the park. Overall, I do think many readers will enjoy this one. It's light, cute and fun.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Avon/Harper Voyager for the ARC.

I'm in tears. This book was beyond great and I am so mad at myself that I read it so quickly. The passion is SO steamy and I'm obsessed with all of the characters. I loved the premise and how everything turned out for everyone. It was just absolutely delightful.

Thank you Netgalley and Avon Books for the ARC.

I love Tessa Bailey's books, they are my ultimate guilty pleasure. This has been a breath of fresh air after her last two books.

Beat and Melody are great hero/heroine combination. They are truly destined to be together.

I loved the premise of the story. It was a tad cliche but it was a great HEA with a fee surprises.

This was a great book and I loved the banter back and forth between them. I did not see the ending coming at all!

Excellent romance for adult readers. This had the perfect amount of emotions that actually had me tearing up a little mixed in with lightheartedness that I've come to love in rom-coms. Enjoyable entertainment start to finish!
As a librarian for a big library system, we most likely have a copy of this item.

OMG - this is the BEST book by Bailey I've read so far! Not only is it h-o-t, I'm as in love with Mel as everyone else is by the end of the book. I laughed out loud more times than I could count and enjoyed the way she challenged herself and the wild ride she went on with Beat. I can't wait for it to come out and discuss it with my readers!

When America's legendary female rock duo has been estranged for 30 years, it might just be up to their children to reunite the group -- and fall in love with each other.

Part of me enjoyed the story, especially the banter between Beat and Melody, the rock stars' adult children. But I kept getting pulled out of the story in disbelief. These are two characters who have lived private lives, withholding much about themselves from even their closest friends... but all of a sudden they're fine with spilling personal details on a livestream and overcoming the usual reticence and shyness? And all this happens in about 2 weeks??? I liked Melody as a character, got frustrated with Beat's shortsightedness, and sometimes really cringed at how much the story reflected our current obsession with celebrities and watching every detail of their lives.

Maybe Tessa Bailey's writing just isn't for me -- I've felt pretty lukewarm about all of her books that I've read, and this really disappoints. 2.75 stars rounded up.

Thank you, Avon/HarperCollins and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.

Classic Tessa Bailey book. One thing that I enjoy about her books is that you know what you’re going to get.

Simple formula of boy and girls get together realize their list is love, both try to deny it and almost fuck it up then end up together.

The troupes, sex spice, and situations surrounding her books change but overall the core plot line is the same. This book also follows suit except this one is holiday themed. Overall if you like Tessa Bailey this book is for you.

Tessa Bailey always bring the fun, sass, and romance to the plate and it never disappoints. She has done it again!

Tessa Bailey is unparalleled for her creative world building and romance scenarios. Beat and Melody, each a child of warring former bandmates, agree to a reality show to try and reunite their mothers for a Christmas Even concert.

I liked Wreck the Halls and consumed it in almost one sitting, but sadly it's not my favorite of Tessa’s books. There was a skosh too much insta-love between Beat and Melody. And, for a book entitled Wreck the Halls, there wasn’t a lot of holiday content aside from it being set in December. However, Wreck the Halls features Tessa Bailey’s trademark shenanigans, humor, and spice. It was a fun and engaging read.

My thanks to NetGalley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book definitely has an alpha male and Tessa's trademark humor. I liked the idea of the reality show and the adventure of getting the band back together. And I enjoyed Melody's character. She's smart and quirky and loveable. Tessa comes up with fun ideas for books, and I enjoyed this one!

This one was "meh" for me. I've really enjoyed Tessa Bailey's previous books and was excited when I saw she had a new one coming out. The overall story was cute, if highly unlikely, but hey... it's a romance novel! The characters were what missed the mark for me. I felt like Melody and Beat were both way over the top - the book felt full of love bombing and obsessive tendencies. I found myself skimming paragraphs just to get to the end.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Tessa Bailey can do no wrong!

In her signature style, this book is hilarious, sexy, and heartwarming. Sometimes all three at once! It centers around Melody and Beat, the daughter and son of the two main singers of the iconic band "Steel Birds." After a huge falling out between the two mothers, Melody and Beat don't expect to see each other ever again.

When a producer offers them both a significant amount of money to be followed around with cameras and live-streamed constantly, they can't refuse (though neither of them admit that they're also agreeing in order to be around each other once more-- after all, they are the only two people in the world who truly understand what the other is going through).

Shenanigans obviously ensue when they're challenged to reunite their headstrong mothers for a Christmas Eve concert.

I could not put this book down until I read it cover to cover. I can't wait to reread it around the holidays!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinions.

I have such mixed feelings about Tessa Bailey's books. I have a really hard time with the possessive "she's mine, no one else can look at her or appreciate her and I'm going to brand you so everyone else knows you belong to be" Alpha male crap. And it's all through this book.

I did like the idea of the reality show and the adventure of getting the band back together. And I really, really liked Melody's character. She's smart and quirky and extremely loveable. I did not, however, like Beat at all. He's a Neanderthal.

The campaign to reunite a 90s legendary rock duo brings friendship, love and personal growth to Beat and Melody, the children of these music icons.

Beat is Tessa Bailey’s usual intense, possessive, dirty talker with lots of complexities. Melody is an absolute gem and their chemistry jumps off the page with every encounter between them.

Even though they didn’t grow up together, there was always something linking them. They shared similar experiences even if they didn’t share them together. Their mothers’ notoriety and their fans' investment - in the band’s breakup, the recent resurgence of their music, and hope for a reunion - all shaped and impacted Beat and Melody their entire lives.

Initially I didn’t see how the public could be so obsessed with the lives of the children of rock stars. But once the live streaming of Beat and Melody's attempt to reunite their mothers started and the world began watching them, then that part of the book made more sense to me and the story really took off.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think this is the first Tessa Bailey book I didn't absolutely hate. I enjoyed the characters and drama.

This was a good story with a little tension and a lot of spice! Meloday and Beat have an instant connection because their mothers were in one of the best bands of the 90's. Tessa Bailey did a fantastic job of creating two realistic characters that are dripping with chemistry.
