THE EX-MAS HOLIDAYS

Nikki Massoud brings a dynamic and heartfelt performance to this festive Christmas romance. Jobless and newly single, Maya Bashir reluctantly returns to her hometown in the Scottish Highlands. On the way home, she unexpectedly runs into Sam, her first crush and first major heartbreak. Massoud seamlessly switches from an American accent to a Scottish lilt when performing dialogue--adding a charming layer of authenticity to the characters and setting. When Maya begins working alongside Sam at the local ski lodge, her passion for skiing and for him are reignited. Massoud excels at portraying the flirty banter between the pair as they grow closer and learn their breakup wasn't as simple as it seemed. Listeners will cozy up to this humorous second-chance holiday romance. J.E.C. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
