4.5 KICKASS XMAS STARS
This was sexy, hot and amusing little holiday read.
It's a story about Anne-Marie a sassy little Miss who is feeling pressured into marriage to Mark, a man she has always considered to be her brother. Her father is expecting them to marry at Christmas. To escape this she enlisted the help of her bff Cynthia.
Cynthia sets her up on a private Island for the holidays.
Little did Anne-Marie know that she had a major holiday manipulation in mind, as she also send her brother Tanner to the island to avoid his own holiday nightmare.
Tanner and Anne-Marie have had unexplored and undeclared feelings for one another for a few years now.
All it took was one look for Tanner to declare;
"You ever been fucked by a real man Anna-Maria? Because if you're on this island after sundown there's a good chance you'll know what it feels like to have ten inches of steel in your belly."
And the very confused and aroused Anne-Marie thinks:
"I'm going to die on this island, that's it, Tanner Reid was sent here on a mission to destroy the cooch because I was a naughty girl for pulling a runner."
Now will these two would be lovers make it through the holidays without giving in to their desires!?
I'm not telling, but the results are SIMULATING!
The whole story was HOT and FUNNY. I enjoyed every dysfunctional minute of it. At the end it even had an epic smack down before the sweet ending that had me saying ONLY AT CHRISTMAS!
Keeper and will read again I am sure.
Safety: no cheating he has been celibate for 2 years since he noticed the heroine, some light drama, no pushing or pulling. Perfect!

Anna and Tanner. This was cute fluff, but honestly I skimmed a fair bit as it was pretty boring. Especially the OTT evil OW wannabe who was obviously just put in the story to cause strife, but not really.
Anna is about to be wed to her best friend on their father's insistence, when she escapes to her best friend's island retreat. Little does she know, her BFF has designs to match-make Anna with her older brother Tanner. Tanner has harboured an obsession for Anna for the last two years, but was just waiting for her to grow up. It's all OTT and I liked it at first but then got bored with how utterly predictable it was.

While I wasn’t very interested in reading this book I was pleasantly surprised that the FMC was so funny. The storyline didn’t do it for me at all. The MMC’s sister arranging his love life was a hard pass for me. The MMC was supposedly in love with the FMC for years but had no intention of going after her now that he was retired from the military. Yeah okay.
Anyway, the FMC was very childish but I loved her wittiness and her banter. It was worth reading at least once. Enjoy.

What can I say? I like Jordan Silver's brash, swearing writing style. Unfortunately this wasn't as good as some of her other books like Talon's Heart so I only gave it 3 stars.
February 5, 2015
It's short but perfect if you just want something sweet, hot and a little bit funny, it's not that great of a story.. but it's entertaining!! :D

Good story but everything felt rushed for some reason. Liked the characters and would have liked to have known more about them than just the bare basics.

"His Xmas Surprise" is a small piece of festive erotica.
Anna, 18, a virgin, and for reasons that are not satisfactorily explained, is to be married off to Mark in four days. They're friends but more like brother and sister than anything else.
She flees to a handy Virgin Island retreat courtesy of her wealthy BFF.
By amazing coincidence she's not alone for long - Tanner, 25, just finished as a SEAL, has lusted after Anna for two years, and decides to have some R&R before taking over at the helm of the family business.
It's gets raunchy quickly:- "Could you have handled me at sixteen? I don't think so, now you know why I stayed away from you, because every time I laid eyes on you, I wanted to fuck. You weren't ready then, but you're older now, fair game, and I did give you fair warning, so no matter what, tonight I'm mounting you, make no mistake about that."
Mounting, eh?
But before that he proposes marriage.
It's all very bossy Tarzan and innocent Jane - get a cave you two!
It's time for a lot of sex, a little BDSM, spanking, and talking about obedience to her Master - meh!
It got boring and stayed that way to the end.

Talking down cooch 😂
Reminds me of another book with another cooch....😆 There was no editing to tell you who's POV it was but it wasn't hard to tell. H was caveman, controlling, crazy. The h was sweet but spunky n could take care of herself. She tends to talk to her hooha. LOL! The OW drama was ridiculous n the main plot drama was a nonstarter.

Sweet, Sexy Fun!
Short, sweet, sexy, and feisty! Perfect. You have to love these characters (or love to hate them!). Their development is a thing of beauty, done through description, along with their own words and actions. Jordan‘s writing brings a simple plot vividly to life. Love, love, love it.💖💖💖💖💖

This book was worth reading just to read the phrase: "sham wow panties now"
The end was dumb as fuck, but Ms. Silver had to let you all know that someone is a crazy jealous freak in the relationship.
But hey, there was plenty of pussy destroying and skewering with his ginormous schlong.

Quick fun read
This was a great little page turner. Bride on the run and deal looking to hide out. This story has a hot Seal, cute younger girl, sassy friend/little sitter. A holiday set up. Not sexy time.

Another fantastic story!
Right from the first chapter the story flows with unbridled possession and passionate ownership of the one he waited for so long, not to mention the comedy inserted throughout!. Great story!

His Xmas Surprise was a sweet, playful, and sexy read. I really enjoyed this. Although it was a bit too short, the author could still make it a believable and fun read.
Anna runs off to a private island with her best friend Cynthia without knowing what is in store for her once she gets there.
Tanner was finally done with his stint serving the country in the S.E.A.L.S, but he was forced to spend Christmas on the island away from his family due to a very annoying woman. And the shock was not enough to explain how he felt when he saw Anna. The woman he had wanted and haunted him for two years.
Oh, yeah, I've got my eye on you, Tanner Reid.
*sigh* Tanner was perfect - sweet/sexy/alpha man mix. He’s incredibly swoony. I loved that the author gave us enough details to back up Tanner's real feelings for Anna. Incredibly loyal too. And I'm glad that before they indulge in scorching sex, he informed her about his real intentions. *two thumbs up*
And even though he was being bossy and showing her the caveman ways, he was still delightful. And I liked it, Possessive Tanner was totally hot.
Hell no, never, no one else will ever touch what's mine, and no one will ever touch what's yours.
I liked Anna too; she's sweet, honest, sassy, compassionate, stood up for herself, and a fighter too.
I just wished they both said "I love yous" to each other, but I guess Ms. Silver wanted to show us that actions speak louder than words. And it pretty much showed in this book, especially those tender moments between them.
This book was very entertaining. Plus, the sex scenes were hot, steamy, and fun to read. And the secondary characters were very likable, too, especially Cynthia. It was very, very nice of her to set them up. Wished it was longer.
