Santa Daddy

by Mila Crawford

I’ve spent the last five years in survival mode. The only thing moving me forward is a memory from that night with a girl that I can’t have.



Our love is forbidden but this Christmas no one will stop me from claiming what’s mine.



This book is pure over the top indulgence. Read for a good time and vibes, only.

Home for a holiday party after keeping her distance, 23-year-old Lexi Everett accidentally becomes locked in the wine cellar with her step uncle.

The object of her obsession, 46-year-old Caleb Hunt has stayed away from his family after briefly losing control in her presence. Now, trapped, all bets are off.

The plot to steam ratio is a little (read: a lot) skewed. But it’s perfect for what it is.

Nope

Came for the daddy kink and breeding kink, but I should probably have researched the author first.

This was degradation kink to the extreme with a bunch of side micro kinks.

This is not my scene. I'm out.

Wow. I’ve been waiting for Mila Crawford’s “Santa Daddy” since she announced it. It has all the tropes: step/uncle age gap, pr@¡se, d3g/ r@dat!0n, snow ball /!ng, and br🍞ding. The perfect number of pages, sixty-nine (haha)

Caleb is 46 and enthralled with 23-year-old Lexi, his step-niece. Though he tries to fight it, he no longer can. He certainly meets his match because the way she talks to him is not as innocent as he thought she would be, which drives him to do even naught/ ier things to her.

“Santa Daddy” is super hot and worth the wait!

[Gia Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mila Crawford is just a knock out author for me. Her men are always written dirty and know exactly what to say to make me LOSE MY MIND.

Yes this is a step uncle, taboo novella that is based around the Christmas season and I loved every damn moment of it.

Uncle Caleb is a dirty talk master and Lexi is his brothers new wife’s daughter.. THE PERFECT SET UP WHEN THEY GET LOCKED IN THE CELLAR TOGETHER.

Frisky is an understatement as per usual with Mila’s books. It was dirty, it had my jaw on the floor but you bet it’s my favourite Christmas novella so far this year.

I won't write a huge long review since this is pretty short I don't wanna give too much away.

Step-uncle yessss gimmie all the steam!!! Uncle Caleb lord the mouth on him! I would toss my panties anytime 🥵. He tries to fight the fire he and Leci have, but the more he fights, the more the fire burns.

And when they are locked together, every rule is tossed out the window.

Filthy as fuck 🥵🥵🥵

[Christy Davisson]

If you need a quick f0rbidden tab00ish naughty Christmas read then grab this one.

This is definitely a quick f0rbidden read check TW beforehand if you need it because Caleb and Lexi bring all the k¡nky fun this holiday season.

You get the forbidden feels with the step-family vibes and degrading uninhibited spice these two bring once they cross that f0rbidden line. It's a steamy dirty read but with some love mixed into all that f0rbiddenness.

If you are needing or craving some naughty Christmas reads I highly recommend this one. Perfect amount of tension, angst, f0rbidden, and spice woven into this short read. Perfect book to put a little tingle in your jingle this holiday lol.

Overall:5/☆☆☆☆☆
Spice: 🌶🌶🌶+

No. Just no. lol. I didn’t expect there to be a ton of plot considering it’s only 69 pages, but this was the cringiest book I have ever read.🫣 also, a very dramatic overuse of the word “slut”🤮

I love Mila Crawford!
That being said, this was sadly not my favorite of hers. I liked the taboo and smut in all its depravity. The age gap and degradation worked great imo.
It was more the story telling that surprised me. Things were missing, like steps and details that changed so quickly without actually being voiced on page.
I know it’s a smutty novella so it should be able to get away with it and I’m pretty sure that most people won’t struggle with this. It’s a very me thing to focus on that when so much spice should hold my attention 😂

[Ashley⛓️ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Milaaaaaa and her spice does it for me. Every. Single. Time. So HOT! 🥵 when belt came out I literally screamed and melted into my couch. Daddy Caleb was mouthwatering and Lexi’s mouth was SO HOT. I don’t know who talked dirtier better 🫠

This is the perfect spicy Christmas novella.

What a perfect book to get you into the mood for a hot Christmas. This was the perfect way to start Christmas Eve with Caleb and Lexi showing how a forbidden love can catch fire.

[Ashley Carr, LSoR · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wowzer!! This novella is STEAMY! Caleb has an absolutely filthy mouth. He is the perfect alpha daddy. Lexi’s dirty mouth matches Caleb‘s perfectly. She is so sassy and fun. They are the perfect match!

🎄 Santa Daddy by Mila Crawford 🎄

Mila Crawford has delivered an unapologetically indulgent holiday treat with Santa Daddy. If you’re looking for a forbidden romance with a heavy dose of spice and a sprinkle of holiday magic, this novella will give you all the over-the-top vibes you didn’t know you needed this season.


Lexi has spent years just trying to get by, living with a fantasy of that one moment with her step- uncle Caleb years ago, the one bright memory she clings to, a night that changed everything with a man she was never supposed to want.

Enter Caleb, her step-uncle, who’s been haunted by the same memory. This Christmas, Caleb is done fighting his feelings. Forbidden love or not, he’s determined to claim Lexi as his own.

🎁 Why It Sleighs:

Forbidden Romance, Amped Up:
Step-uncle Caleb. Yep, this is a taboo romance, and the book leans into it without hesitation. If you’re a fan of stories that push boundaries and aren’t afraid to get a little daring, you’re in for a wild ride. The chemistry between Lexi and Caleb is scorching, and their connection, though taboo, feels deep and genuine.

Over-the-Top Indulgence:
This novella knows exactly what it is: a spicy, fast-paced holiday fantasy. It doesn’t pretend to be subtle or realistic, but that’s what makes it so much fun. It’s all about the vibes; passion, forbidden longing, and a hero who’s absolutely determined to get his girl.

Lexi’s Resilience:
Despite the focus on the romance, Lexi’s backstory adds emotional weight. She’s been through a lot, and her survival instincts make her an interesting character. Watching her let down her walls and embrace her feelings for Caleb adds heart to the otherwise spicy plot.

Caleb as a Hero:
Caleb is the quintessential over-the-top, possessive alpha. He’s been holding himself back for years, but once he decides to go after Lexi, he’s all in. If you love heroes who are fiercely protective and unrelenting in their pursuit, Caleb delivers.


Santa Daddy is the ultimate guilty pleasure read. A taboo romance wrapped in holiday cheer and tied with a bow of unapologetic spice. Mila Crawford delivers exactly what’s promised: a quick, steamy story with enough forbidden tension to keep you turning pages.


Highly recommend for fans of over-the-top romance who embrace the spicy and forbidden. This isn’t a book to analyse, it’s a book to enjoy. So grab your eggnog, settle in, and let Caleb and Lexi heat up your holiday season.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶🌶🌶.5/5

TW - alcohol consumption, death of grandparents (past, mentioned incl heart attack)

CW - degradation, impact play, taboo - step uncle, Daddy kink, snowballing, breeding, hand necklace, spit play, D/s, pain play, public play, breath play

Tropes - forbidden, taboo, age gap (46M, 23F), Christmas, erotica, forced proximity

This is such a fun and smutty read. Caleb (MMC) is Lexi's (FMC) step uncle and they've lowkey been pining for each other for 5 years so they've been avoiding each other since. This all comes to a head (😉) when they get locked in the wine cellar together.

Forced proximity makes the heart grow fonder, or something like that 💋

[Olivia Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you’re looking for a spicy holiday novella with a ton of filth then look no further because Mila Crawford has you covered with this one. This is a step uncle & age gap romance with spice on almost every page! Lexi Everett is a forbidden fruit when it comes to her step Uncle Caleb because if he could have it his way she would be bent over his knee taking punishments for her bratty ways. Lexi’s mother married Caleb’s older brother, and ever since a passionate kiss gone wild in a dark hallway Caleb has kept his distance from Lexi because she was eighteen at the time, but now she is twenty three & wants to play with fire when it comes to her uncle. After finding themselves locked in the cellar together things become extremely filthy at a very rapid pace, the degrading comments to the praise he give her will leave you jaw on the floor, along with a puddle on the floor! Daddy Caleb will do anything to prove his intentions going forward from this & he sure does it so dang well! Those epilogues were so dang hot, especially the second one because I was even struggling to breathe properly reading it. Overall an amazing quick read to end the holiday season & it’s got an incredible ending that will leave you all smiles & your legs shaking.

This novella is straight schminky & spicy with a bit of a tab00 storyline stitched within all the spice!! Santa D@dd¥ is a short fun quick read that will have you looking at wine cellars just a bit differently from now on 🤭 D@dd¥ Caleb was denying himself what he’s wanted for 5 long years but NO more he’s decided that he’s done denying himself and his sweet b@b¥ g!rl! So now he’s taking what’s always been his….. make sure before you start reading this book that you have a bottle of water, a ch@nge of p@nt!e$, and maybe even a fan cause this one is straight SPICE… the m0uth on Santa D@dd¥ was phenomenal!!

🌶️🌶️/5

Well, that was quick. This was, umm, very interesting. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either. I love a good age gap book, but it was not for me. Things moved entirely too quickly, and it felt a little weird. The author explained that this was all smut with zero plot, so you can’t expect too much from 69 pages. I guess there’s no turning back from this because I already read it, but here are my other thoughts. The things that I did like: I appreciated the daddy kink and thought the smut was decent. As for my dislikes: I usually liked when the word is used in a story, BUT the overuse of the word slut was a buzzkill. It felt like the word was used in every other sentence, making it a big NO for me. Also, I cringed at the word “f**k hole” because, ew, what the heck? It made it seem creepy instead of hot. All said and done, it’s over, it’s shelved, and I probably won’t be revisiting this one. 

[Rachs_Bookish_World · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well now. There’s not much to say about this book honestly. I could call it a spicy holiday novella but that would be a lie. It’s not just spicy. It’s pure smut. That’s it. The storyline is basically non-existent. It was just 69 pages of smut and oh what a fun time it was.
Imagine getting locked in a wine cellar with your step uncle. Who’s not only twice your age, but also the object of all your desires. And then you find out you’re the object of all of his.
With no way out and only the alcohol to keep them company, what are they do except f*ck each others brains out lol
This was fast, it was smutty, it was full of degradation with a dash of praise and a lot of other little kinks all stuffed into this very short read.
If you’re looking for a smut filled holiday novella with age gap, a daddy kink, a breeding kink and loads of filthy talk, then this one is definitely for you!

[Willie Mercedes · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been 5 long years since Caleb and Lexie's lips brushed together, and since then, Caleb has been avoiding Lexie like a game of dodgeball. But, hold onto your jingle bells, because Lexie is determined to make Caleb hers at the big Christmas bash! The longing gazes and sizzling attraction between them were heating up the room like chestnuts roasting on an open fire. And let's not forget Caleb's smooth-talking that had us weak in the knees! Plus, who doesn't adore Lexie's cute elf persona? Mila sure knows how to cook up a spicy and thrilling plot that will leave you begging for more!

[Renata · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well this was quite the surprise. It’s a naughty, taboo Christmas novella with 69 pages to heat you up…in all the right places. Wink wink

Caleb & Lexi have waited five years, five years of hell fighting their attraction for each other, for this moment, they didn’t waste one min of it.
The dirty talk is top notch, it’s down right raunchy, it’s filthy and deliciously dirty, it had my jaw on the floor.
Oh I liked Lexi. She’s a little brat, she’s sassy af. He definitely meets his match. The way she plays along, talks back, she’s not as innocent as he thought she would be. And that ignites him even more.
Caleb Caleb Caleb - lord have mercy. Master of dirty talk. Also her step uncle who is quite a bit older than her.

“Does that excite you, Lexi? To be caught naked getting fucked by your uncle?”

I haven't read a lot this month, but right here a few days from Christmas I'm finally in the smutty Christmas Novella mood. Being a mood reader is wild sometimes 🤣

This was such a fast, fun and dirty read!
I'd definitely recommend if you need a quick smutty Novella in your life! 69 pages to be exact 😏

Pretty much Lexi and Uncle Caleb get stuck in a wine cellar together and decide not to deny the attraction between them any longer.

The dirty talk between the 2 was 🥵💦

I've been seeing ads on FB for Mila Crawford a lot, so I had to see if she was for me and started with a holiday novella. Tis the season, right?
Besides the trope, which isn't one of my favorites and not something I am holding against the book I really enjoyed this novella. Spicy romance is what I was looking for regardless of trope and Mila didn't disappoint. Lots of spice packed into a short novella and the wine cellar scene..... YES! The characters had a great banter between them and were very effective at dirty talk!
This was a great option to dip my toe into Mila's work and it definitely piqued my interest to read others. I recommend this to any reader who only has a little bit of time in the holiday mania to escape the madness and take part in someone else's dirty fantasy. :)

My Review:
5 ⭐️ 3.8 🌶️ 0 Plot

Mila Crawford’s Santa Daddy is the steamy, forbidden holiday treat you didn’t know you needed. Caleb, a 46-year-old with filthiest mouth, has spent years resisting his 23-year-old step niece, Lexi–but the second he gets his hands on her, all bets are off. Their chemistry? Nuclear. ☢️ The wine cellar scene alone will leave you gasping (and maybe reconsidering your own holiday traditions). This novella skips the plot and dives straight into dirty talk, forbidden lust, and unapologetic spice. At 69 pages (yes, Mila, we see what you did there), it’s the perfect quick escape from the holiday chaos. If you like your Christmas stories hot enough to melt snow, Caleb and Lexi will absolutely deliver.

Santa Daddy, just slip into the locked cellar with me
Been an awful good girl
Santa Daddy, so hurry down and fill me tonight

Five years of yearning
Think of all the fun we’ve missed
Think of all the fella's that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list

Come and tap my Christmas tree
Whilst taking me over your knee
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

Santa Daddy, forgot to mention one little thing
A ring, I don't mean on the phone
Santa Daddy, so hurry down and fill me tonight
Hurry, tonight

This was perfection! Holiday spice, Mila style! I enjoyed this way more than I care to admit!
