About this listen
For fans of the Cake series by J. Bengtsson comes a funny, heartwarming companion novella featuring the Cake characters in lockdown.
Just like the rest of the world, the McKallisters find themselves struggling to conform to a new way of life after the virus confines them to their homes. These connected short stories give fans a chance to catch up on all of their favorite Cake characters as well as enjoy a bonus epilogue and interviews with the characters.
Find out how Jake and Kyle cope with isolation - and each other after they enter quarantine following exposure to the virus. Follow Finn and Emma as they desperately try to prevent a super-spreader event at Perryland - while attempting to ration the toilet paper. And go on a humorous journey with Quinn as he searches for a place to stay after initially refusing to lock down with the others. And in a bonus epilogue, Keith is called upon to lead the family on a secret mission that unites them all.

I’ve sworn off men to focus on my dream job that starts on Monday. But my best friend talks me into a final night of fun—a blind date. I only agree because the guy is going to work as a doctor in Africa. It’s the best date of my life. Dr. Africa makes me laugh and swoon, and I want to give him a thorough physical examination. He turns into Dr. One Night Stand, and I’m not sad about it. Monday morning, I’m enthusiastic and excited, until I bump into...you guessed it.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Story
As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Hey. You looking for a steamy single parent romantic comedy? How about three single dad steamy rom coms and one single mom steamy rom com? The Name in Lights Collection contains three full standalone novels and a bonus novelette that's set in the same world. What's a novelette, you might ask? It's slightly shorter than a novella and longer than a short story, but equally as entertaining as a novel. Really!

The posh girl trying to prove everyone wrong...that she can be something else - someone else. She hates me because she knows I’m right.

Enjoyable
This little novella was truly great. It is always fun to check in with the McKallister family. Jill's writing is so good that it makes you believe they are real people. With this terrible pandemic raging on, it was nice to bring some humor to an otherwise sad situation. I enjoyed the narrators, but would have loved to have Zachary Webber, Andi Arndt and Joe Arden revisit the characters. They have truly brought them to life.

Good idea of the pandemic
Did I empathize with the characters with this book. My favorite part was the interviews. I really understood Mom’s opinion

Coping with Love and Humor
When Jill Bengtsson announced that she planned to write a series of vignettes about the McKallister family from her best-selling Cake series, her Banana Binder fan group was ecstatic. Who better to get readers through the vicissitudes of the pandemic than Jake and Casey, Kyle and Kenzie, Emma and Finn, and the rest of the family and in-laws.
Optimism was rewarded and expectations were exceeded. The stories were funny and touching updates, connecting with our greatest fears while we identify with toilet paper crises and quarantines. The epilogue is everything.
Now we have the additional joy of hearing them as well. Connor Crais and Stella Hunter, combined with Jill’s vivid writing, bring an experience that will have the listener rolling in laughter and empathetically tearing up, sometimes both at the same time.
Even if you are new to Jill’s books, this would be a terrific introduction to the Cake series. Especially the bonus material at the end.
So hunker down with the McKallister family. You won’t regret it.

I love the McKallisters!
I reacted to this novella much more emotionally than I expected I would. It was a wonderful story about how the family gets through the situation. Lots of laughs and lots of tears too. I loved the interviews at the end with each of the characters. I really enjoyed the narration in this novella. Stella and Connor did an amazing job taking on all of the McKallisters and even the Perrys.

Love the McKallisters
I loved that we got to catch up with the McKallisters and their extended family and see how they were dealing with the lockdown and having to quarantine. Author J. Bengtsson does an amazing job with her storytelling and I love that she brings humor into the scenes. Reading these tales during our actual lockdown brought so much joy during a difficult time and I’m really glad we get to relive them again in this novella. Connor Crais and Stella Hunter’s performances were fantastic and I really enjoyed how they narrated all the different characters and brought everything to life. This was a great addition to the Cake series.

Loved it!!
This is a perfect short story addition to the McKallister crew!! Make sure you read the other stories before this one because it will be much more meaningful! J. Bengtsson is my favorite author who writes in such a way that you actually feel like the characters are in your life.
