A quick, flirty, holiday read/listen. 🥰❤️ Perfect for fans of romcom/steamy books!
January 3, 2023
was looking for a short audiobook so tried this one out.
it was cute but couldn’t tell ya what happened.
all I retained was, he was a boss, they got stuck together on an elevator & he had a nice butt.

What an amazing book! For only being an hour long, this book was so so much fun and of course with K Bromberg it was so well delivered! Had a blast with this holiday quickie! That was sexy and charming.If you are looking to get a quick audio to get some more books in before the end of the year (and we all know how busy we all this time of year so its hard to get books in sometimes), so I recommend this one. You definitely will have a fun time, and its free with Audible Plus.

'No fue un relato navideño que me gustara del todo'
•Mi opinión puede contener Spoilers
•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen
💝The Package de K. Bromberg dentro de la antología All wrapped up for the holidays
Argumento:
La semana de Navidad no puede ir peor para Jules Jilliland.
Abandonada por su novio, chocada en la autopista y despedida de su trabajo, se encuentra atrapada en un ascensor con un apuesto desconocido.
Cuando sus paquetes se intercambian accidentalmente, ¿acabará siendo un desafortunado accidente el que alegre de repente sus vacaciones?
Mí humilde opinión:
🎄 La historia era breve y simple pero me gustó la idea de quedar atrapados en el ascensor y que la heroína no sabe que se está quejando con el jefe, pensé que sería divertido.
Sin embargo, no logré que me llegarán los protagonistas, además Jules era un poco molesta y luego del encuentro con Archer en el ascensor, todo fue súper increíble. Comprendí el mal día que estaba teniendo Jules, justo en época navideña pero exageró demasiado para mí. Lo mismo que Archer, ofrecerle un puesto mejor de trabajo, paga e invitarla a comer en un lugar caro? Lo vi ridículo, se movió rápido y yo me quedé estupefacta ya que era el jefe y apenas la conocía. Ni siquiera le ofrecía una entrevista sino que ya le daba un trabajo con mejor paga y de paso la estaba besando!🎄

Postacı kızımız Jules, Noel yoğunluğunda çalışırken sevgilisi tarafından terkedilmiş, yetmezmiş gibi arabasına ardından çarpılmış ve kovulmuş iken don teslimine gittiği plazada da asansörde mahsur kalır.
Hem de yakışıklı bir yabancıyla.
Yaşadıklarının, sınıfsal farklılıkların ve fırsat eşitsizliğinin acısını asansördeki executives katına giden adamdan çıkaran Jules'un bok gibi geçen günü bir anda 180 derece değişir.
Aşırı kısa ama minnoş bir hikaye.
Üşenmeyin de okuyun.

“I hate him.
On the spot.
For being everything I’m not. For being everything I’ll never have. For being the have when I’m the have-not. He’s all perfect with what I can assume are his skinny models decorating his side while I’m far from it with reindeer antlers and curves and extra padding that doesn’t go away when I shimmy out of the coat I have on.
That’s my assumption anyway.
Because men as perfect as him should be illegal.”
- Julia Jilliland

“Have lunch with me.
Come work for me.
Spend the night with me.
You’re simply amazing.”
- Archer McMasters

This was a really quick forced proximity holiday novella. It had a lot of promise, but I didn’t feel any chemistry between the main characters and the power imbalance was too great. It also felt gross that he offered her a job and cash advance and then kissed her. Just seems like a huge HR nightmare.
The narration was enjoyable though and Maxine Mitchell (who narrates the majority of this novella) and Teddy Hamilton were great.

Really cute for such a short book!
But omg imagine: landing a job AND a man in one elevator fiasco? I could never.

3 Stars! Cute. Fun. Quick. Wish there was more!

Hm. 3 stars with a bit of a draw to 2? It just left me feeling a bit weird. The power imbalance is just too big.
I mostly read this to read SOMETHING, to get back in the game. Two weeks off work, baby. Wanna get so much reading done.

Cute little Christmas read about a chance meeting when a couple gets trapped in elevator together.
Jules has had the crappiest day ever, and things just got worse.
Little does she know that the guy she is trapped with is the one who could change everything for her.
Quick and sweet novella :)

The holidays are going to be here before we know it. I'm starting to collect my holiday reading material. This little "Package" is super short and a whole lotta fun to read.
November 23, 2022
Tropes:
- forced proximity (briefly)
- office romance
- opposites attract
Dumped, rear-ended, and fired two days before Christmas, mail girl Julia clearly isn't having the time. Things get even worse when she gets stuck in an elevator while delivering packages, and finds herself word vomiting about her awful day and her dislike for the company. It's also too bad Julia doesn't realize the man she's venting to is the owner of said company.
Archer finds Julia beautiful and amusing, empathizing with her shit luck and taking her words to heart about the company and how it's handled. When the pair finally escape their metal prison, Archer can't seem to get the beautiful mail girl out of his head. Feigning a package mix-up in an attempt to see Julia again, Archer pulls one of the swooniest moves ever.
The Package was a sweet, fun, and short little audiobook! The only thing that really bothered me was the power imbalance, Archer owns the company she works for and kind of buys her affections lol but it was cute all the same

4.5/ 5 stars
This novella is so cute and funny. I really enjoyed it.
The package is a 4 chapter Christmas novella originally from the All Wrapped Up For the Holidays anthology.
The narrators are Julia and Archer (1st person POVs).
It takes place around Christmastime. And is so cute and fun. Julia works in the mailroom and she gets stuck in the elevator with Archer.
I really loved everything about this short story. It was funny and a bit sexy and just perfect for this time of year.

I had a feeling it would be a trashy romance, and I was right. But it was a quick Christmas read and I am a sucker for those. I would love for the head of an HR department to read this and watch them develop an eye twitch at every violation in this short read...

The Package is a super cute and funny short story set at Christmastime. It is only 52 minutes in duration. My mom and I listened together while we were driving and she really enjoyed it too. Both narrators do a good job. This was included with my audible membership.
May 13, 2025
Ok so I’m on a mission to find short and sweet audio books that entertain me while I do the normal life tasks shopping, walking, house work.
This one was the shorted one and I actually loved it, 30 mins.
The narrator teddy hamilton was a huge sell for me to read it.
A ceo and a mail worker get stuck in an elevator and after a break down confession, abuse of the company she finds herself with more than a broken heart and a jobless future by the end.
Super duper cute!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was so fun!
February 1, 2023
Se que esta clase de novela breve no es para ser analizada sino para tenerte distraida, sin embargo, hay varios detalles que no me convencieron.
La historia pudo ser bonita, no obstante, los protagonistas no me agradaron ( especialmente ella ) y la trama no me parecio nada realista. Esperaba otro tipo de historia de Navidad al leer la sinopsis.
En fin, The Package es agil de leer pero no me enamoro ni tampoco creo que sea especial, las hay mucho mejores.
1.75 Estrellas!
December 23, 2020
I liked the idea of this story, it had fun potential, but it just didn't quite work for me. There wasn't really anything in particular wrong with it, it was just kind of flat. It didn't leave me with any great feelings one way or the other.
December 27, 2024
There could have been more to this. Cute short story.
December 24, 2022
Cute and sweet. Not a bad way to pass one hour of my time.

cute little holiday novella that I think would've fit nicely in a Christmas anthology.
