Secret Santa
From bestselling author Rhian Cahill. Sometimes Santa doesn’t give you what you want — he gives you what you need.
The last thing Jenn wants this Christmas to be is merry. Hibernating in her apartment is the perfect plan for someone who has lost way more than just her Christmas cheer. She’ll re-emerge on December 26th and move on with her life.
Morgan has had just about enough of dancing around the sexual chemistry between himself and his manager, Jenn. If he has his way, she won’t spend this Christmas — or any other — alone. With the help of a bogus set of secret Santa envelopes, he’s going to deliver a Christmas present to the woman he loves, one she’ll never forget!

Secret Santa is a short Christmas themed novella from best selling romance author Rhian Cahill.
Christmas is about family and friends, so after the loss of her parents in a tragic car accident this year, Jenn would rather not celebrate Christmas at all this. She doesn’t want the reminder nor the pain that the holiday season is sure to bring, in fact if she could she’d probably try and work right through it. Alas that is not an option, so instead she’d be quite happy to ignore the whole thing and hide out in her apartment until it’s safe to come out again.
Jenn’s boss Morgan has other ideas however. He is in love with Jenn and can’t bare to see her upset and alone for the holiday season. After Jenn knocks him back on spending Christmas with him and his family, he is forced to rig the Secret Santa ballot.
Secret Santa is a really sweet novella that will leave you smiling and looking forward to the Christmas season. It’s cute and quirky, and as you read it you really just hope that everything will work out for Jenn and Morgan.
I really loved the characterisation of Jenn and Morgan and the way their relationship progressed in such a short space of time. I only wish we got to spend a bit more time with them.
Rhian Cahill’s writing was delightful and exactly the kind of thing you’d want to read to get you in the Christmas Spirit. Definitely and author I’ll be looking out for in the future.
How adorable is that cover!

Secret Santa by Rhian Cahill is delicious like a Christmas cookie. Yummy and satisfying. I adored this story of friends to lovers.
Jenn is dreading her first holiday since the loss of her parents. She keeps busy with her job at Morgan’s restaurant and tries to ignore her attraction to him. Morgan has decided to act on the chemistry between them and rigs the employee Secret Santa gift exchange game so that he gets her and she gets him.
A few of my fav lines…
♥ He was known for his decadent desserts, but Jenn thought he was far more appealing. The man was lickable from head to toe and she’d love to sample just a teeny tiny piece of him.
♥ He wanted to take his time and savour the fall. Or savour her fall. Morgan was already at the bottom, but, from where he stood, it sure felt like the top of the world.
I loved that this novella is sweet but not sappy, not sugary, not too spicy… it’s perfectly balanced. I adored seeing how the Secret Santa game played out. Morgan works hard to make Jenn give them a chance. I was rooting for them both to get exactly what was on their wish list this Christmas. Unwrap Secret Santa and settle in for a delicious treat… :D

Secret Santa by author Rhian Cahill is a sweet, sexy holiday romance story that just warms your heart. I adored Morgan who took matters into his own hands to finally capture Jenn's heart once and for all. I enjoyed how he wooed her with his romantic gestures to let her know he wanted her for the long haul and not just for sex. I liked Jenn who you couldn't help but feel for what she's been through. It was nice to see Jenn being the one that wanted to push for more in the sex department and Morgan's reaction to it. The author created a story filled with the Christmas spirit, hope and likeable characters who you wanted to see get a happy ending.

Rhian Cahill does it again! Everything she writes to me is 5 stars! Its entertaining, sexy and full of love!
This books she does it again and she has this fantastic ability to write so much info in a novella.
Jenn has desires for her Boss Morgan but won't act of them because he loves her job but Morgan has other plans for them!
This is a must read but so are all her other novella's. This will put a smile on your face!

Secret Santa by Rhian Cahill was a short, sweet Christmas story with a bit of heat. Morgan and Jenn were fun, and they made a cute couple.

Cute, sweet Christmas read
Oh Morgan is so sweet and understanding. I loved how he walked gently to where he wanted his relationship with Jen to go rather than pushing and forcing his will.
