But I can’t. I know he’d never look at me as more than a friend, and I wouldn’t risk losing him completely.Dahlia may have planned these dates to force me to find a personal life, but I intended to embrace this journey as an opportunity to convince my heart to let go of its longing for Sterling Montgomery, Jr.Watch out, Magic Mates—Brinley Blitzen is back on the dating scene.Author Previously published as episodes 1-34 of the Vella serial ‘ The Claus Club.’ The longform version includes additional content.

Such a fun book! This isn’t my usual genre, but a sassy reindeer shifter sounded like the perfect way to kick off my holiday reading! If you’re looking for a twist on a friends to lovers romance, definitely pick this one up!

Superb read!

I love these Claus Club storys. They are unique and entertaining with a superbly build world populated by familiar characters but not as you have known them before.
Ingenious! I loved Brins story!
Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed Blitzen by Sophie Masters! It’s about a reindeer shifter who goes on twelve magical dates set up by her best friend and the discovery of true love.
I fell in love with the characters, Blitzen and Sacks, as well as the supporting characters! From beginning to end I never felt the plot dragged and I think Sophie did a great job building each layer of Blitzen and Sacks relationship, making you care about them and want more.
The book had mild sexual content so I think this is good for women looking for just a hint of spice. I definitely recommend it and will read more in this series!

Sophie Masters is gained to me but more people should definitely know about her! This book was amazing. Brinley and Sacks are friends but each want more. Of course, neither are ready to admit their feelings for each other. They are part of the shifting world. Brinley shifts into one of Santa’s reindeer. Sacks is half gargoyle but is unable to shift.
I loved how both cared about each other even though they could not admit their feelings to each other at first. This was an incredible read and would highly recommend this book!
I am voluntarily leaving this review.

so cute!

This was just what I needed this Christmas Eve. I had Alexa read to me as I baked and decorated cookies.

Blitzy is a wonderful character and watching her go through these 12 dates and finally find her forever love was something that had me laughing, swooning, and cheering her on!

Sacks is the quintessential book boyfriend. Protective. Sweet. Dependable. And hawt!!!

Blitzen

What a good story! A different take on Santa and the North Pole. I'll never think of Santa and his reindeer the same way lol This was a great friends to lovers story where they were both in love with each other but there's a catch. I'm interested in reading more of this series.

Loved this book! Very easy read ( in a good way). I feel like it was a very unique book, and how it was written! Also had a little spice toward the end. The relationship between blitzen and her best friend sacks was extremely wholesome from beginning to end!
