Santas of Alpha Ridge #2

Santa's Sunshine Omega Boy

Rate this book
Kris was never supposed to return to the same house—or the same boy—over and over again.

The Santas of Alpha Ridge have one job: To create and deliver presents to children all over the world. Living conditions at the North Pole are harsh; it's no place for an omega, much less a family. Hell, Kris doesn't want an omega. Until a fateful night flings him into the lap of a sunshine boy in desperate need. Frankie is startlingly cheerful, the exact opposite of Kris's surly grumpiness. He bakes Kris cakes and makes him promise to crack a smile; he gives Kris doe eyes and asks for help. Kris finds himself making up ridiculous excuses to return. Anything so he can care for Frankie and see him smile again. He's not flirting, he's not falling in love. Until Frankie's heat catches them both off-guard, and suddenly things are a lot more complicated...

(light daddy/boy, caring/protective daddy, no age play)

Santa's Sunshine Omega Boy is a 40k-word MPreg nonshifter romance with a reindeer called Banana Storm, lots of cookies, the sweetest grumpy Santa, no cheating, and definitely a HEA!

Frankie has been by himself for quite some time and never had a real relationship with other Alphas. He had experienced hardships and was accident-prone which left him with very little confidence which may have contributed to him acting younger than his age. But that changed on a snowy Christmas Eve when he missed the last bus home having to work late and walked the long distance home.

He had almost made it but with extreme fatigue and not feeling well, he collapsed on the way in heavily falling snow. If it hadn’t been for a grumpy Santa, Kris, complaining about having to work extra that night he would have missed the young man in the snow. He was drawn to Frankie and couldn’t leave him lying in the snow. Of course, Kris knew where he lived being a Santa.

Since the two met, Kris tried to not see Frankie, but Frankie always needed something. This created a tug-a-war with Kris’s feelings and he just couldn’t stay away even though Santa was not allowed relationships with an Omega, Kris wanted to be with Frankie. I’m happy to say they had their HEA.

This second book from the “Santa’s of Alpha Ridge” is a fun winter/Christmas romance to read. I loved it as I am sure other readers would too. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This felt like a magical whirlwind fairytale romance to me. Who wouldn't want to meet Santa and even better to be Santa's boo!!??
I loved how quickly Santa Chris became enamored with Frankie. Frankie was like a little bird with a broken wing. You just wanted to take care of him and make it all better. Iiked that Santa Chris got a second chance at love and a family.

Super sweet, funny holiday romance with an incredibly kind, endearing sunshine character and an unexpectedly grumpy, but very loving Santa Claus. Frankie is such a sweetheart and so honest and open! He reminded me a little of Emmy, though Emmy is in a class of his own of course. Frankie and Kris are drawn together from their first meeting, with Santa Kris coming to the rescue in a big way, but they are slow to label what is growing between them even though it seems pretty undeniable for everyone else. This is mostly on Kris who is very much torn between his duty and his heart, poor guy.
I liked the worldbuilding with a veritable team of Santa Clauses working together to bring joy and gifts to children all over the world. I also really liked the subplot regarding Kris’s grown-up son and the dynamic between the MCs and all of their friends, old and new. It was fun to see familiar faces pop up as a secondary characters, anchoring this story in the worldbuilding of previous books.
This is a really cute story and just the kind of heartwarming romance I love to read this time of year.

I love this Christmas series from Anna Wineheart and it's so good to read a grumpy santa get his own HEA. Kris is covering for another santa when he comes across Frankie sprawled on the floor with a sprained ankle and scrapes and he can't help but assist the young omega home. Frankie was hoping to get a message to santa this year but meeting one of them is completely out of his expectations!
There's an instant attraction that Kris feels, as much as he tries to deny it, which is adorable in his grumpy persona but Frankie's sweet innocence and needy ways get right under his walls pretty quickly.
The relationship develops over a year but it feels pretty fast paced. I love reading Kris relax as he gets closer to Frankie, not being as uptight, especially in things regarding omega's at Alpha Ridge, which is pretty inhospitable for most people. This story is actually pretty calm for Anna but to balance it we do have a couple of scenes with Emmy, who makes everyone equally happy and confused, and some more of his chat up lines make an appearance!
Definitely an alpha/omega Christmas story to read! It will both cheer and heat you up with it's HEA and appearances from some of Anna's much loved characters.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

This is a sweet story about finding love when you least expect it. I enjoyed Kris and Frankie’s story. The two are as opposite as can be but the attraction between them cannot be denied. Their story is a cute one and it was nice to see the way their relationship takes shape. It was nice to see the softer side of Kris when he is with Frankie. Frankie is such a sweet young man but at times he was a little to naive and young acting for me. I did enjoy the bond that grows between the two as they spend more time together. I also enjoyed the way other characters from Meadowfall are intertwined in this story. The friendships of all the men were a nice addition to this story and of course those pick-up lines of Emmy’s are a hoot.

KRIS AND FRANKIE (GRUMP AND SUNSHINE)

I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review.

Kris is a grumpy Santa who gave Noel a hard time for getting involved with his omega. While filling in for part of Noel’s job on Christmas Eve, he finds Frankie passed out in the snow. As things progress, Kris finds himself falling for Frankie and missing his son more and more. At first, it seems that Kris is using Frankie to replace his son, Jason. Later, Kris realizes that he has fallen in love with Frankie and needs to apologize to Noel and his mate. I love the way that everyone begins to accept that things will change amongst the Santas.

A Santa in need of a smile. An Omega needing rescue. Yey!

You have got to read the Santa's of Alpha a Ridge series! The characters are colorful and likable. I fell in love with Santa Kris, who has forgotten how to smile. Frankie is his sunny boy whose wish is an alpha for Christmas. There will be lots of sex, lots of cookies and cake, and rule breaking. Come. Join Frankie & Kris as they find their way to HEA. Be prepared for some crazy friends, a jam session, and a family reunion. And don't get me started on a certain reindeer. You are simply gonna love this book!

Great addition to the series!

I loved Santa's Sunshine Omega Boy by Anna Wineheart. It's the second book in the Santas of Alpha Ridge series. I loved Kris and Frankie's story. I wanted to cry with Frankie after the awful day he had, but I loved that Kris showed up just when he couldn't continue on. I loved how grumpy Kris was and how he kept going back to Meadowfield and helping Frankie with anything he needed done. I loved that there were so many Santas. I look forward to them all finding their omegas. I also loved getting to see more of Emmy and his famous pickup lines.

I read this book using the Kindle Unlimited app.

Grumpy vs sunshine

Frankie is the sweetest cinnamon roll ever.
He's had a hard life and all he wants is to be loved and made to feel important.
He tries his hardest to be a good person and see the good in everything and everyone even in bad situations.
When Kris/Santa comes to Frankie's rescue it starts them down the road to their very well deserved HEA.
I loved seeing Frankie finally being cared for and Frankie had a wonderful effect on Kris as well, bringing him out of his shell and helping to resolve matters between Kris and his estranged so Jason.

Frankie is in a bad situation, but his heart is full of happiness once he meets Santa Kris. No matter how grumpy Kris is, Frankie just wants him more and more. Despite the Santas' agreement to avoid relationships, Kris can't resist the sunshiny omega.
This book is so good! Frankie and Kris are sweet together, and their romance is now my favorite from this author. I will probably reread this one next holiday season, and I recommend it to others who love grumpy/sunshine romances and the healing power of love. I adore this couple and this story!

A sweet holiday omegaverse book

I love Anna Wineheart books. And this one delivers all the holiday feels. I’m so glad Grumpy Santa Kris and sweet omega Frankie find each other!

This book is nice because they get to know each other and fall in love (but don’t realize it) before the baby drama. So you know they are together for each other.

This was my first holiday read of the season. I read it as a palate cleanser after an amazing CP Harris book that was full of tears and gut punches. Santa’s Sunshine Omega Boy was full of smiles and giggles. And we get to see more Emmy!

I have never thought there was more than one Santa. Duh, of course, why wouldn't there be?
Frankie was so sweet. He broke your heart with how lovely he was with Kris, wanting to be around him and thinking of ways to get him to visit. Frankie may be small, but he is wise beyond his years.
I couldn't stop smiling while reading this story. It made my heart smile.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

From the first time Kris comes across Frankie in the snow, he feels an irresistible draw towards him and cannot seem to keep away from him even though his job as Santa doesn’t allow for frequent visits.
With Frankie finding ways to keep Kris in his life it was only a matter of time before the chemistry between them became explosive.

A grumpy/sunshine, age gap read that has moments of reminiscing, atonement, passion, appearance of previous characters, a lovely world at the North Pole and a HEA.

Kris and Frankie were such a cute couple. I love the grumpy/sunshine trope and loved their story! I loved that their love story started just from Kris taking care of Frankie and not just jumping straight into mating. Cannot wait for more Santas to find their omegas (or alphas)! I highly recommend this book and hope everyone who reads it enjoys Kris and Frankie’s story as much as I did!

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This is such a sweet book, and I love we get to see so many previous couples in this! Some from the early Meadowfall books! But you can definitely read this on its own and not be too lost.

Santas are real and they're hot alphas - sure why not! There's a bit more disbelief and magic in this book than her other Meadowfall books, but this is just as fun. Very much grumpy/sunshine, and I love it when the gruff and tough alpha totally melts for the sweetness of his love interest.

This book is a bit whimsical, a bit silly in a good way and a fun Christmasy story. Santa finds his omega and Christmas brings a lonely omega his very own alpha. The story is easy to read and an enjoyable holiday treat. Everyone deserves their happy ending especially Santa. He gets that and a lot more. Read it you’ll be glad you did. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.

Oh this is such a sweet, fluffy Christmas read.

Right from the start I just wanted to pick Frankie up, snuggle him in a blanket and hug him and well thats pretty much what Kris did!

even thought the rules say no omegas - rules are made to be broken when love and happiness is involved.

And well Santa makes wishes come true if you are nice!

just not for me

Frankie was too juvenile and too immature…even if he was only 23.

Age gaps are hard for me to read anyways.

I love some of Anna’s other books so this is purely just my opinion

Perfect Christmas book for this time of the year. Honestly, I love all the books I've read from Anna, but this one was just so perfect. It has all the magic of Christmas but also all the love of an omega and alpha.

I am loving this series. I started it last year and eagerly awaited all year for this book! I love a grumpy sunshine. I loved that Santa was the grumpy one even more. Kris could not withstand the pull that Frankie had. I just want to hug Kris.

Super Sweet

This book is super sweet and with a unique Santa world. The very grumpy Krris tries, and fails, to resist the perpetually cheerful Frankie. I recommend this book!

I enjoyed Frankie and Kris’s story. It was interesting how hesitant and resistant Kris was but he just couldn’t stay away. Frankie gained a family that he has always wanted. I look forward to seeing more of the Santa’s finding their person.
