Blurb:

I sat on Santa’s lap, and now he wants to see me again.

Single mother Emily is resigned to yet another stressful holiday season alone. That is, until she meets a charismatic man playing Santa in a local bar. Their chance meeting leads to a playful and flirtatious text exchange throughout the holiday season until Santa is on her doorstep, ready to give Emily her Christmas wishes.

A spicy Christmas novella, Santa’s Coming sparkles with the perfect blend of puns and sexy holiday magic.

The steamy and romantic High Five Novella series follows three friends as they navigate love and life’s challenges in their hometown of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. While each holiday-themed novella can be enjoyed as a standalone, reading them in order is recommended for the full experience.

My Review

This was a cute and short little novella with some steamy times for Santa and the mommy he was kissing! lol. I really enjoyed the banter and interaction between Emily and Santa/Nicholas. Yes, his name was really Nicholas, and no, he wasn’t really Santa. He was just playing Santa one night at his bar for some publicity. I loved Emily’s friends and how they helped her get into the fun spirit with their ugly Christmas sweater bar crawl and having her straddle Santa’s lap at the bar for her picture. Nicholas was a pretty nice guy too, definitely a keeper.

I enjoyed this one a lot, thankful the author reached out to me about it, and I’m sure I will enjoy the others in the series as well as they come out!
