Light the Way

by S. Courtney

Nick

After the darkest time in my life,
I'm back to win the town's decorating competition
For my parents
I had it all planned out
And then SHE moved in
I observed from afar
Until she mentioned she was going to win the competition
No way was some new tart was going to take it away from me
Game on, Elivia
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Elivia

I want the Hallmark movie romance
And I can't do that in New York City
With a career change and move to a small town
I'm two steps ahead
Then I heard about the town's decorating competition
What better way to introduce myself than winning
Until my neighbor said I didn't have a chance
He's dressing up as a sexy Santa to snag votes
I'll dress up as Mrs. Claus to distract him
Because there can only be one winner
In the contest and love

This book was a cute, cozy, Christmas Hallmark-type read. Perfect for the season.

And the Nick’s corny (and dirty) Santa puns?? Honestly… I loved them 😂

If you’re in the mood for something festive, and feel-good with a little flirt and a lot of holiday vibes, this one is a fun pick.

And a Merry Christmas to you

I LOVED this. Elivia and Nick were stupid fun to read about. His christmas kink is hysterical and she just goes along for the ride because he knows how she likes her milk and cookies. Sorry. I couldn’t help myself. That shit is funny.

The side characters are great too. They all have this great addition to the scene or story in general. Even Xavier who is a bag of dicks.

Enemies to lovers is always a fun trope. These two played great hijinx on each other and it added to the festivities of the season and their sexual tension. Some pranks can come off mean and can be hazardous to people’s well being. These were just fun.

Back to the tension. Oh. My. Lordy. There were a few times I was sure Nick was gonna just snap and burn the town down if he didn’t get to Elivia. Holy cow. Pretty sure I said a few words when they were yet again interrupted before presents to given. 😉
