Wendy's Review

This book of 13 wonderful short stories by various authors was hot and sexy for the Christmas season. I rate this book a 5 Tea Cup and 3 heat index. The authors did a wonderful job incorporating each story to go along with the theme. Great Christmas read!

Santa's Naughty List by Stacey Espino

Laura-Ann tried to be the best for Santa but no matter what her wish never came true. On the night before Christmas she found out through one of his Elves, Chris, why she never got her wishes. She was naughty and Santa knew it and sent Chris to take her in hand and over his knee. This Christmas Laura-Ann learned that through her punishment, love came with an elf. Santa wasn’t the man Laura-Ann thought he was—he did care for her.

My Boys by Amarinda Jones

What is Ella to do when an Angel and an Elf comes to save her of life and loneliness? Enjoy herself and what they do to her. Mathias is an angel from heaven there to save Ella who contemplated death because there was no love in her life. Harry is an Elf that Santa knew could do the job with Ella. Ella felt frumpy and unattractive until Harry and Mathias showed her what a beauty she was inside in out. She decides to enjoy the gift from above heaven and the North Pole.

A Christmas Curse by Ericka Scott

James and Maddy know each other and knew that the attraction was there, but circumstances kept them apart their grief. James lost his wife to a break in gone bad and Maddy her husband to a car wreck. James always bought his deceased wife a last minute gift, this Christmas he lost it on his way to work, wonders of wonder he and Maddy found that they were meant to be together. Fate had a way of taking away the hurt while providing them with great sex for Christmas. Reading this short story puts into perspective what being alone at Christmas does to a person.


Once Upon a Christmas Spanking by Rachel Clark

What is a wife to do when sex at home isn’t what all her friends are talking about. She confronts her husband not knowing that he gave up dominated sex life when he met her. Discovering that his wife needs to be spanked and that she orgasms harder with them brings their relationship into a new dimension just in time for Christmas.

Yes Alana, There Is a Santa Claus by Seleste deLaney

Alana didn’t care for Christmas all it meant to her was struggling to make ends meet as her co-workers and friends go have a good time. Alana knew that she wanted to have sex with co-worker Santa Daniel. Brady has been in the background for a while wanting Alana but she wanted Daniel but with a little Christmas magic their night came together when Daniel overstepped his bounds and Brady stepped in and saved Christmas for Alana. There is a Santa it just may not be who you thought he was.

Carly's Delights by Lauren Pilla

Carly was an elf for the North Pole she didn’t work on Toys for Santa her toys were to give people pleaure. When Carly came up with the solution for no intimacy in humans ; she decided to give her theory a try. Sandy her boss made her head of the department to see if her theory was correct so he gave her Alex to do with whatever she wanted. Deciding to take matters into her own hands she and Alex had incredible sex for the sake of the job.


Kingdom of Sweets by Gigi Brevard

Sweet dreams and sweet sex was what was in store for Clara. Clara was homesick it was Christmas and she was far from home and family so in her mind she took an escape and had the best sex ever with her nutcracker. He made her believe that there was more to her life than just books and working, Clara ran to escape her life of work. Out of the mist came her nutcracker giving her the desires of her sweet heaven. This story is incredible and Kingdom of Sweets is a fairy tale of anyone who needs to escape.

Holly's Clause by Kerri Nelson

Holly life has come down to ordering on line so the gorgeous UPS man will come to her home every day. Liam is the man that Holly dreamed of everyday since she moved into her neighborhood. On Christmas Eve Holly made sure a package was being delivered so that she made sure Liam would be there for her to tell and seduce. There was a cliché in her plans when a demon calls upon her to collect her soul because of a clause she signed in her homeowner’s paper. This story is a lesson to read the small print on all contracts.

Hard for the Holiday by Skylar Sinclair

All I can say is I can’t wait for Chris Kringle to come down my chimney on Christmas Eve. Jewell Dupree always saw spirits and when she was a child everyone thought she was cute but with age the cuteness wore off. But this Christmas eve the spirit gave her the most amazing sex. Santa did well. Her warlock would give her anything her heart’s desire and they were made for each other. The fantasy that Jewell dreams up is one that women would love to have with their significant other any day and any time.

The Christmas Fae by Emma Shortt

Isadora was a fairy from Fae and she wanted to give Lucas his wish for Christmas, his wish was her; he wanted her for Christmas even though he had a mother and sisters with their families the loneliness was what he wanted to get away from. Isadora and Lucas sex was amazing and she had fallen in love with Lucas but was scared for him to see her wings but when he did Lucas just loved her more. As their Christmas day went on and their love developed Lucas and Isadora wasn’t shore if love was enough to keep them together. A wonderful fairy tale for Christmas.

Jack Frost by Misty Burke

Molly came home to Winterville NC for the Christmas festival, years ago she left because she thought she wanted what the visitors had but then when she had it she knew that she was wrong. Molly had everything she needed right here, this time though she also had Jack Frost a mythical snowman turn human to be loved and give love to the woman who makes his heart on fire. A great story with a whimsical feeling.

A Christmas Wish for Laura by Shannan Albright

Laura lived in Alaska by herself and she liked it that way till lately, loneliness was settling in but the alternative was to trust not to be hurt again. That was something that she wasn’t willing to try again she thought. On a stormy night Laura was looking at the ice sculpture that took months to make and realized how lonely she was after her husband’s death. Elric was caught in the storm and needed shelter when he came upon Laura’s barn and broke in to face the sculpture of himself life size. Knowing that he wanted Laura from the first moment Elric gave Laura what she had yearned for the best sex a girl could ever want. In the morning decisions had to be made would Laura chose the right one. This story was wonderful and I hope that Shannan takes it further and makes a full length story—it would be great.


5 Tea Cups!
