Holy f*ck y’all. The authors weren’t lying when they said the spice hit quick. Also, there was little plot but I felt like they gave enough to keep you interested and invested in the story so I really enjoyed. And the fact that it was hot af 🤣🥵🥵💦💦 Omgggg 🫠🫠🫠

What can I say? These two really know how to write a d*mn good spicy novella!
The Night Before Christmas did not disappoint; it is the steamiest, most sinful shmut, all packed into 43 pages.
If you are looking for a quick read with slight dark undertones, this is for you. This story follows Lana, who believes her two best friends have gone home for Christmas and left her all alone. Little does she know Atlas and Jace have something up their sleeve…
Overall, it is a five-star read. Within the 43 pages, we get an idea of the relationship between the characters and depth. This depth is the want and need the characters have for each other, and it shows by the character's actions and words.

“I want to watch.”
3🌟This book is exactly what the dedication says it is it’s for those who, like masked men, smutty, one shots, and not much plot!
Super quick and easy read great for the holidays.

Didn’t really feel dark except for a second in the first two chapters but I’m probably so numb by now, my judgement can’t be trusted 😂
Either way, I loved this.
For me it was more a cozy and very spicy read and I enjoyed the dynamic and characters a lot! Atlas stole my heart so quickly 😂🖤

It was a very short and super quick, smutty read. Super hot. Lots of lust. It definitely needed to be longer.
There was a big error in chapter 7, and it also had some missing words in some sentences. Not enough to make a huge difference, but still, chapter 7 needs to be fixed. (Not enough to bother me to give it a lower rating).

I really love the whole best friends to lovers aspect. This was a really good erotica. I love when the boyfriend has a boyfriend. I will love to know how they are doing.

PHENOMENAL. INCREDIBLE. BRAIN ALTERING. I absolutely devoured this which is no surprise considering it is only 47 pages but the fact that I physically could not stop reading as soon as I started speaks volumes, I managed to get this finished in the space of about half an hour and I am still obsessed with it even though i'm done. I will happily fall asleep to blissful dreams full of two very hot, very perfect and very obsessed men who wear ski masks and would happily tie me up with christmas lights. If I could have one wish in this life it would be to have both Jace and Atlas in my real life because I firmly believe that having them with me would solve every single problem I have in my life.
Every single detail about this one was perfect, the connections between all three characters, the tension, the spice and the pace. This was a pure masterpiece and it will live in my head rent free for the rest of time. I could go on forever but I fear you get the gist, A.Rayne thank you for continuing to keep my standards high and reminding me that real men will never be as soon as fictional men 🫠

This is my second review because goodreads crashed!
This is a dark kinky smutty Christmas read!
Lana is surprised by her two best friends Jace and Atlas with a Christmas kink fest!
The guys have been secretly stalking her and have read her journal, found out her kinks and are ready to play it out with her as a Christmas gift.
It’s a smutty interlude where they basically get it on every which way and that’s about it, it’s not plot heavy but it does warn you about that going in!
If you want some two guys one girl action in a quick read with plenty of kinks, check this one out, they do a bit of everything together but it’s not too intense.
I did get confused at one point because it describes Lana blacking out after she completes.. and then they get undressed, but it has detailed Jace and Atlas already getting undressed. They also say morning to Lana, but then they get up for Christmas morning together again later so I think it just needed some clarity for me around continuity.
Other than that it was a quick smutty read!
I had it at 3.5 but rounded up to 4.

This novella is short, sweet and SPICY!
Lana is bummed that she is spending Christmas alone in the dorms and is out to go get snacks when she thinks someone is following her one night. She writes it off as being paranoid and lonely from missing her two best friends Atlas and Jace…little does she know she is in for some unexpected fun ;)
Jace and Atlas let Lana think they have left campus for Christmas, but really they are ready to give her the best Christmas she could ever dream of.
If you are looking for a quick BUT FANTASTIC read, with no plot and lots of spice THIS IS YOUR BOOK! For being a novella the characters personalities and the feelings they have for each other is evident and pulls you in from the very beginning.
This book is out tomorrow (12/10) and you should make sure it is on your TBR for the holiday season!

Friends to lover trope have been working in my favor as of late!! Don’t let this deter you if you’re not a fan because it is H O T! Lana is in for a surprise when she thought she would be spending Christmas alone but little did she know, her best friends Jace and Atlas come bearing gifts for their naughty girl.
So much packed into 46 pages lol
I could easily see this as a prequel to their college life after christmas ;) wink wink

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 (in my opinion)
This is a fun just dark fast paced novella of pure $mut. Jace & Atlas are willing to do whatever they can to make sure that Lana isn’t truly alone on Christmas Eve.
Even if it means making some of her darkest fantasies come true. (Cue the ski masks and hidden men)
I loved everything about this as quick little holiday dark romance read! The things that these friends will do for each other is so freaking 🥵
“Let’s go give our girl her Christmas present a little early”

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Spice: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
Angst: 💔
Cliffhanger? ❌️
Do I recommend it? ✔️
Tropes: holiday romance, MMF, friends to lovers, masked men
Lana is being followed, but she has no idea who. That is until they break into her dorm room on Christmas Eve. Masked and ready to make her theirs.
Utterly enticing and completely captivating. In less than six chapters, I fell hard for these masked men. Loved the connection between them as well as with Lana. This was the perfect treat for Christmas Eve or any time you are short on time and want to experience just the juicy bits. This is my honest opinion, freely given.

Lana is all alone for Christmas break while her best friends, Jace and Atlas are out of town visiting their families… She feels like someone is stalking her but little does she know she’s going to get the most delightful Christmas gift…
“You really thought we’d leave you alone on Christmas, Princess? It’s the season for giving. That's exactly what we’re doing.”
This novella is AMAZING!! A little over an hour of reading and right to the point!
Jace and Atlas are chef’s kiss
Thank you A. Rayne and Leigh Rhodes for the arc ❤

This book is perfect if you’re looking for a short, quick and spicy filled read.
Was hooked on this book from the very first page.
The chemistry between all 3 characters was amazing and the spicy scenes are scorching hot.
Although there is plenty of smut, there is also a storyline too which I really enjoyed.
Alsooo, Jace’s presents, WOW!!👀
Loved this book and will definitely be reading other books written by these authors❤️

Short, dirty and delicious. The three words I can use to best describe this spicy holiday novella that I had the privilege of beta reading 🥵 Three’s a freaking party, and the saying goes for these three perfect MCs. I absolutely adore each of them and their on-page chemistry is to die for.
If I were writing my list to Santa, I’d be asking for a masked man (or two) and a good amount of Christmas lights.

I absolutely DEVOURED this book, I couldn't get enough, I need more!!!
this is the perfect christmas read, smutty and hot as fuck. If you're after a quick read that's just pure smut, this is EXACTLY what you need. I mean, what could be better than being tied up with christmas lights by two hot guys in masks? The answer is NOTHING. Especially if those guys are your best friends. Ugh, I loved this book so much and HIGHLY recommend checking it out cause wow 🥵 it was so hot

I absolutely devoured this one! My oh my, it was soo good! and like a few of the other holiday shorts that I read, I find myself wishing it was a longer book, a full length novel, or a prequel. I think these characters would make a fantastic full length book. I needed more of them individually. I wanted their backstories, not just the very small nibbles that we were given. I want to fell more of the push and pull, I want to see the moment that they met her and when they both realized that they wanted her and when they decided that they would share her to ensure their friendship would stay intact. Because I fell like there might have been a fight there at first. I want it all. But I will take and devour this short because it is what we were given!
I do want to point out that this has a stalker theme. I also want to point out that there was one major point in the book where the story was in one characters point of view and in mid paragraph it flipped to a different character without warning. It was sort of confusing and I had to reread it a few times to ensure I didn't miss something. Outside of this small error, as the reader you are alerted when the POV shifts between different characters.
As for the spice, well this was only 47 pages long, so it was there, but it wasn't spice heavy with no plot. There was definitely plot in this one, which I loved.

The Night Before Christmas by A. Rayne and Leigh Rhodes is a Christmas MMF romance novella.
The story is short but packed with plenty of spice in the 47 pages. I loved getting Jace, Lana, and Atlas's points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
If you're looking for a quick steamy Christmas themed romance than look no further. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Received this book in exchange for an honest review. This novella was short but SO SWEET AND DELICIOUS. What's not to love about two masked men who are in love with you? I love a why choose/MFM book and this hit the spot. Super filthy, I will never look at Christmas lights the same way again. 5/5 for me!

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is two masked men who want to give me the best gift ever… Oh, and some Christmas lights!
If you’re looking for something short and smutty to get you through the holidays, then please look no further! The chemistry between the 3 MC’s was just too good, and the spice was SCORCHING. Do not miss out on all this holiday fun!
A huge thank you to the Authors for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was a fun, short, smutty Christmas read.
Pretty much pure smut, but it was fun and well written. I would honestly love to see more of these characters in a longer book in the future, because I definitely don't see enough MMF books!

- University
- Novella
- Masked man

I devoured this book in one sitting! Definitely my cup of tea for the holiday season! 3 friends Jace, Atlas and Lana who are scared to act on their feelings, say enough is enough. The men surprise Lana the night before Christmas and make it known she is there’s! It was short, steamy and a perfect read for this holiday season!
December 26, 2024
Love it!
Followed, watched, and loved her best friends. What more could she want? How about lights and realizing the love you want and need is right in front of you, and the men are willing to take the risk for all three of you! This was the most perfect Chrostmas book I've read, and I can't wait to read more!

Finished this in one sitting and let me tell you, that was one of the spiciest quick reads I’ve had in a long time! Straight to the point with no unnecessary fluff, cute little bit of Christmas romance thrown in for sweetness, and loaded to the brim with hot sex!
December 14, 2023
This book was a quick and easy read and the spicy was truly spicing. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the stalking & breaking in truly isn’t for me but overall, I loved this short smut story
