About this listen
An elf costume, a pair of lacy knickers, and a Christmas charity auction might make Sam’s Christmas wish come true.
When sweet barista, Sam, agrees to be a "slave" in a Christmas charity auction, he’s thrilled to be bought by the man he’s had a crush on for the last three months.
Theodore is everything Sam is looking for in a man: older, authoritative, and caring. Unfortunately, Sam isn’t the most forward person when it comes to telling men he likes them. Wearing a sexy costume allows him to be a much flirtier version of himself, but can a naughty elf tempt Theodore into bed?
As their relationship intensifies, Sam finds something in Theodore he didn’t realize he needed: a man he wants to call his Daddy.
But Theodore isn’t out of the closet, and whilst Sam is happy existing in a bubble in the run up to Christmas, he knows that can’t last forever.
Can Sam risk giving his heart to a Daddy who might not ever be able to hold his hand in public, let alone commit to him?
What Works For Us is a Christmas-ish romance with an age-gap relationship, lacy underwear, role-play, Daddy kink, a smidge of hurt/comfort, and a guaranteed happy ending.

OMG absolutely loved this book and the audio
Dan Calley does an amazing job of this book, the different voices, plus he makes my knees weak. Lol
I read this book back in March before lock down No1, and now I'm listening to it during Lockdown No2, just what I needed light hearted, funny, with a little daddy kink.
If your like me and like full on kink, thast not this book, but if you fancy something lighter, happy but with some kink, you'll love this.
From serving Lattes to a gorgeous man, Christmas, Elves, Age Gap, panties Daddy kink, slave autioning in a good way, what more can you ask for, would recommend to everyone.

Sweet holiday story!
Sam has been crushing on the older man that visits the coffee store he works at for a long time. When he finally has the chance to start exploring their mutual attraction, Sam jumps in with both feet. Theodore is in the closet, though, and while Sam understands his reasons for not coming out, Sam also realizes that whatever there is between them can't really grow if Theodore isn't willing to be out and proud with him.
I really liked Sam, he was sweet and earnest and naughty. I liked Theodore, most of the time, but he really got on my nerves sometimes and I wanted to shake some sense into him. I liked Sam and Theodore together they had chemistry and fit well together despite their age difference.
Dan Calley is an amazing narrator and I love his rumbly voice, perhaps it was a tad too gruff for Sam, but he definitely nailed Theodore for me.
If you like sweet books with some kink exploration and light angst, and a fantastic performance, this audiobook fits the bill perfectly.

Loved this story!
I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to Christmas stories. Throw in a spicy,hot and kinky romance between two adorable characters and I'm sold.
Colette's writing is magical and had me hooked right from the beginning. Dan Calley's sublime narration expertly brings Sam and Theodore's story to life.
I really want to say so much more about this, but I won't, as I don't want to spoil this beautiful story for anyone.

When the elf comes down off the shelf
I’ll start with narration. I’m a huge Dan Calley fan and every time I see he’s narrating something, I get super excited. So I leapt at the chance to review this book and I wasn’t disappointed.
I’m not a huge Christmas fan, but the right book can put me in the holiday spirit and this was that book. Sam has a huge crush on the man who comes in his coffee shop every day and who orders the same drink every day and who doesn’t notice him…every day. Heck, he doesn’t even know if the man is gay, but the man is ringing all of Sam’s bells. When his co-worker coerces him into volunteering at a slave auction, Sam is reluctant but it’s for a good cause.
Theodore has noticed Sam. And has done his level best to ignore the much-younger barista. Afterall, homosexuality is a sin and even though his parents are dead, that doesn’t stop him from hearing their voices in his head. Their banishment of a beloved uncle has always resonated in his mind, and he just can’t get past the old religious claptrap that tells him he’s a bad person for being attracted to men.
So what happens when he shows up at the slave auction and his wet dream is up for auction? Well he bids of course. And spends a ton of money to secure someone to clean his already spotless house.
Sam is going to take advantage. He shows up in the most audacious elf costume and prances around, hoping to catch Theodore’s attention. And he does. Spectacularly. One night isn’t enough but Theodore is obsessed about what his co-workers and neighbors will think and Sam doesn’t want to be in anyone’s closet. So despite the naughty elf persona, he finds he can’t stay.
Theodore realizes he’s going to have to change if he’s going to win Sam back. Because he can’t be a true Daddy without his boy.
I have to say I enjoyed this book. It had a few little BDSM-light scenes, plenty of sexy times, and some real moments of introspection for both characters. So light at times and a little darker at others. But it’s a romance and I got my happy ending. I’m so glad I listened to the audio.
Oh, and I loved Prince the kitty.

The audiobook was even better!
I liked this book a lot when I read just about a year ago but the audiobook increased my enjoyment of the story. Dan Calley did a great job, as usual, with his performance. He did great voices for the two MC's as well as the various supporting characters. Sometimes audiobooks don't affect my emotions as much as reading the book but Dan made me feel everything as I listened to his wonderful voice.
This story has a lot of great tropes going on: age-gap, role playing, Daddy/Boy kink and lacy underwear and boy did things heat up when Sam and Mr. Farrell (aka Theodore/Latte Macchiato) get together. They find out how much they both like role playing which eventually evolves into a Daddy/Boy relationship.
A copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Sam is such a great character and those costumes and how innocent he is. So cute story while hot at times. Love the romance and the daddy kink. Perfectly written story with great audio.
The slave auction was fun and Sam in elf costume is the cutest and hottest ever. And cleaning in those outfit WOW - so hot!!!
Sam and Theodore's relationship was amazing, I really loved reading about these two cutiepie. And the daddy kink was the cherry on top! So so good, I have no words!
This book was the cutest and daddiest christmas story ever, I want just re-read it and read it again and again. LOVED Theodore and Sam! Highly recommend this book!

Cute
A cute little story - I loved it all; I was frustrated by Theodore but I did also empathise with his situation.
Overall a really enjoyable listen and brilliantly narrated.

Funny, sweet and so endearing
🌟🌟🌟🌟 4.5 stars
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Heat Level: 4
🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 4.5 I love an English accent 😍
I found this story and these characters so endearing!! This story lifted my mood and gave me all the feels! I loved both Sam and Theodore. While they each have their flaws, troubles, and desires, Colette balanced all their nuances perfectly!
I felt for troubled and closeted Theodore and his internalized homophobia. Colette took care to address this and slowly brought Theo out of his shell and allowed him to challenge his upbringing and eventually find peace in himself.
Sam was just adorable! He had moments of sass that was just adorable but his soft and shy nature was what endeared him to me. I loved that he tried to take the lead and put himself out there even though he was scared and it when against his submissive desires but it balanced so well with Theo's needs and allowed for intimacy and their unique connection to flourish.
While set at Christmas, I would happily dive into this story at any time of year! If you'd like a book with a little kink and a lot of feels then look no further! I loved it!
