Christmas with the Band by Michelle HazenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I RECEIVED AN ARC OF THIS BOOK FOR HONEST REVIEW, AND IN PARTICIPATION OF THIS BLOG TOUR.
Christmas with the Band was a very QUICK read. I literally started and finished within a single hour. I have not read any of the books in the original series, so I am not familiar with any of the characters, but the little bit given in this book was enough to give me a love for them. Though I am at a bit of a crossroads with Jera. Its a hate/love feeling. (view spoiler) I could relate to Ava, the lead voice/perspective in this short story. She is Jax's girlfriend. She's had some tough times, and Jera just hates her guts. I adored Jax with Maya, Jacob's daughter. So adorable. Warmed and melted my heart.
This book has it's funny moments. But also brings to light the seriousness of family and selflessness. Because Ava is definitely giving up what she wants to let Jax spend Christmas Eve with his band.

Jax pulls to the curb, and my heart beats so fast my vision goes swimmy at the edges. Oh shit, we’re already at his bandmates’ holiday party and I'm not ready yet.
I turn wide eyes to look at the over-decorated house. Somehow I never pictured Jera's family as inflatable Santa people.
“This isn't their place.” Jax tips my chin toward him, the callouses from his frets soothing against my skin. “Ava, I'd rather turn around right now than take you someplace where you won't be comfortable. Especially not on Christmas Eve. Just say the word and we'll go back to my condo.” He smiles, the tilt of it all wicked promise though his sky-colored eyes are whisper gentle: my soft place to land, always. “I'll even Photoshop Justin Bieber's head onto some pictures of chipmunks, the way you like.”
I laugh in spite of myself. “Okay, as awesome as that sounds, I'm not taking you away from your band family at Christmas.”
“Oh, great! Let's get going, then.” Jax reaches for the gearshift and my stomach drops out through the floorboards of the car. I stop his hand and my eyes guiltily collide with his knowing ones. I just walked right into that bluff, damn it.
“Okay, you're right. This was a terrible idea. Why don't I just drop you off, I'll go hide in your beautiful condo, and we can meet up after?” My heartbeat is like a rabid butterfly trying to escape my ribcage. Christ, I'm being such a coward right now.
It's not like I haven't been living knuckle to knuckle with these people for most of the year. It's just...that was our concert tour. This is their town.
It's Jax's real life, and I haven't claimed my place in it.
He starts to speak just as I say, “No, screw it. We're going. We're going together and it will be fun and festive, so help me God, or I will cut a bitch.”
Start from the beginning and join The Red Letters on their raise to fame!
