Rate this book
Nick
From a young age, my sole focus has been preparing for this very moment. As the eldest child of the current Santa Claus, the position has always been mine to inherit. Now he is retiring, my time has come. I should spend my nights stressing about the impending Christmas deadline but my thoughts keep wandering to the grease-covered mechanic currently fixing my sleigh. From the moment the moody teen stormed into my family sixteen years ago, he captured my heart. Now, as a man, he unknowingly keeps it locked away.

Kris
Everyone loved the constant Christmas decorations and festive atmosphere in the village. For me, it was a never-ending nightmare, a constant reminder of another place I didn’t belong. As the clock ticks down to Christmas Eve, the mounting pressure to get the sleigh ready on time is increasing. I should be dedicating all my time to completing the necessary upgrades, definitely not picturing how well my stepbrother fills out his new Santa suit.

Sleighed is a steamy, MM small town romance set in the North Pole that will have you laughing and swooning till the very end.

This was day 5 of my 25 days of spicy novellas and it was probably my fave read yet! I absolutely loved this book! Spicy, MM, stepbrother taboo romance, and you know I ate this one up!

Kris finds his mom hooking up with Santa one night and the next day they’re packing up and moving to the North Pole.

Kris has grown up to be sort of the North Pole bad boy, mechanic, making his way through most of the elves.

Nick has been training to take over the role of Santa and this is his first year on the job.

After years of stolen glances Nick walks in to find Kris getting a little something from an elf and ensue the jealously. Nick is done hiding his feelings for Kris and decides to finish the job the elf started for himself. The week leading up to Christmas Nick and Kris have a jolly good time, you’ll never think about Santa’s sleigh the same again after this one. Now facing the reality that their hook up’s may be far more than that.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be railed in the back of Santa’s sleigh this one is definitely for you

Sleighed by MK Vindictiv ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am utterly obsessed with this MM christmas novella. This was so God damn hot and had such a great plot despite it being a short story. Honestly, I would actually kill to read this as a full length novel! 🤌

I blushed, i laughed and I swooned! If you want a quick, steamy romcom then this is for you!

Good boy x bad guy gets me everytime!

Thank you so much for the arc 🩷🎄🧑‍🎄 I spot a new favourite author of mine for sure! Cannot wait to read more from MKV 🥰

Whimsical with a dash of spice

Sleighed took me on a magical Christmas adventure. This short novella is heart-warming and has just the right dash of spice - enough to have Santa's sleigh bells jingling and his stocking stuffed to the brim. Naughty or nice? He will definitely be checking that list twice.

Oh, “Sleighed” was such a great, literally SLAY (#SorryNotSorry) of a read! I absolutely adored this novella, getting wrapped up (pun intended) in the romance between Nick and Kris - loved the slight forced proximity (stepbrothers, but I was literally here for it allll! I kid you not). 😏

The counterbalance of Kris, being slightly fed up to the back teeth about Christmas, and Nick, who quite literally is to become Santa Klaus, was great- Christmas is definitely one of those mostly universally merry times of the year, but I've lately had mixed feelings about it, yet found myself wanting to just soak up a festive romance, having met M.K Vindictiv at Novel and Spice Convention earlier in November, I had been eyeing her books for a while and definitely had to pick them up!

I'm so glad I did, because “Sleighed” was an absolute cracker! (Okay, fine – I'll stop it with the festive puns 😂), the tension, the heart, the lust, the pacing!! I couldn't put it down – i absolutely adored the dynamic of the boys with Kris's Mum, too, she's too wholesome! Her interactions with Nick were precious, and I loved the friendly banter between Kris and Arthur, too!

The heart, though – and my heart is all the more happy after reading Nick and Kris’ story, this was absolutely lovely and I can definitely see myself revisiting it during the holiday seasons to come!

I was looking for a light hearted fun read in-between dark fantasy reads and this novella more than delivered! And for a debut book - I was amazed at the brilliance of the writing!

- MM Romance
- Step-Brothers
- Fantasy (Santa Village)

Nick has waited for this moment his whole life. Being the son of Santa Claus, he has the whole world literally on his shoulders to ensure happiness to all children of the world. It his first year at taking over his father's position in the big red suit & he is distracted - By his step brother.

Kris' mum married Nick's father where both of them then had to move to Santa Village. Kris found himself growing up to be the main mechanic in ensuring the best run of the sleigh. He also was the playboy of Santa Village with any & all elves enjoying spending time with him. What he didn't count on was his step-brother; Nick, also wanting more than just family dinners with him. And when they finally share a scandalous moment - They start a forbidden affair that could ruin their happy family at Christmas!

5/5 stars with 4/5 steam!

The steam didn't take over the emotional pull of the two characters. If anything - I needed and wanted more! It is very rare that I give a novella 5 stars but I honestly loved this story.

This was a good, spicy Christmas novella. I loved it, despite that I hate Christmas, and am known as the grinch at my house 🙈

This is not only the first MM spicy romance but also the first Christmas book I've ever read. But I'll read whatever this author writes after this one 🥵😍

⭐ 5/5
🌶️ 4/5

I devoured this captivating little MM romance, my first dabble into the genre, and oh boy, what a scorching hot read it was! I end up inhaling the dam thing!

Not only is it one spicy as hell read it is also so bloody cute! Kris and Nick are just so spectacularly opposite they can't help but attract and gravitate towards one another. Bad boy x Caring people pleaser.

My only lament? The story ended far too soon, leaving me craving more! I yearned to see the blossoming relationship unfold beyond Christmas, to witness the promise of their love unfold.

If you're looking for a heartwarming, steamy read that will leave you breathless (literally fanning you face) and begging for more, look no further!

All of everything!

Wow this was certainly an unexpected amazing read! A friend of mine rec’d this and I didn’t have super high expectations and expected a typical fun story but I loved everything about this!

Nick and Kris are stepbrothers who have longed for each other, yet always had to hide their feelings because Nick was becoming the new Santa and Kris was the village playboy. Their desire for each other finally took hold and boy were their moments saucy! Banter, smirks, pinky holds, the works! Hot and sweet moments and a perfect HEA! I could’ve read a whole novel from these two and maybe we will get lucky and see them again!

Highly recommend for a quick holiday read!

I don't know what I was expecting when I pre-ordered this book (except two guys going for it in Santa's sleigh). But what I discovered was such a beautifully written (and freaking hot) story about two men who love fiercely, who have fears and hopes and a dream to claim the other...a lot... and in many different and filthy ways. 

In other words it was perfect. 

A unique take on a love story that is equal parts soft and hard. (Look, I didn't make Christmas puns but all others are still on the table!)

Santa BABY!

I found this author by chance on Threads and decided to give them a chance since I was between books at that exact moment. I’m not a Christmas lover but this is one hot Santa read. This is not insta-love but a love that has been brewing and we get to see the moment it erupts. Sweet, smutty, and no MM guilt or shame. Looking forward to more books by this author.

You want a swoon worthy M/M Christmas novella this holiday season? This is your book. It's another naughty santa version. This is a smutty, sweet, romantic, childhood crush to adult lovers' novella. The plot is amazing. It's spicy. Lots of lust. It was so beautifully written. Such a good book. I need more of their story. Perfect for this Christmas season.

This was a heart warming spin on a new generation of Santa taking over his father's job as Mr Claus himself.

It is male on male romance ☺️
With being step brothers adds a little issue they have to work around but has a happy ending.

This was a fantastic fast paced novella.
The 2 main characters are absolutely lovable and dirty at the same time.
I’m a big fan of M/M love. Let’s hear it for us Queers.
I have no problem with step brothers falling in love.
The book could have gone through one more round of editing and I hope it did before it was published. I read the eBook.

Oh and there was definitely some Christmas puns used in the book that I loved.

MM step-siblings that live in the North Pole? Yes!

Sleighed follows Nick and Kris. Nick’s father is Klaus.. or better known as Santa Claus and when Nick’s mom passes away, he marries Kris’s mom. Now he’s ready to retire so he enjoy his time with his wife which means, Nick is next in line to be Santa.

Now it’s preparation time. It’s almost time for Nick’s departure on Christmas Eve. The elves are getting the gifts together and Kris is the sleigh mechanic making sure the Sleigh is in tip top shape.

Nick is supposed to be focused on his first time as Santa, but he can’t help that he’s distracted by his hot step-brother, Kris. Their taboo relationship begins after Nick catches Kris leaned up against the sleigh with one of the elves. But is this just a Christmas hookup? or will Nick finally come out to his father and tell everyone that they’re together?

I loved that this was a Christmas MM romance novella AND they’re stepbrothers!!! I mean what can be better than that? Oh I know… finding out what it’s like when 2 hot men bang in the back of the sleigh!!!! I loved this novella, ate it up!! And the ending was just the best!! This was Christmas spice & everything nice. Took place in the North Pole, there were elves and even the reindeer!! So much fun and so cute!

★★★

"𝓛𝓲𝓯𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓸𝓸 𝓼𝓱𝓸𝓻𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮."

𝐌𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 💭

Other than knowing this book was MM, I went in completely blind so I had no clue what to expect at all. I wasn't prepared for the plot, but I'm so glad I didn't know, as honestly, I'm not sure I would have picked it up if I did, but for what it was, it was fun. Spoilers incoming in 3, 2, 1...

This may well be the most Christmassy book I have read, and I say that because one of the MMCs is Santa's son! (Aka, Nick. Aka, the soon to be new Santa. Aka, Santa Baby) 🤣

The story is set in the North Pole and follows Nick and Kris in preparation for Christmas and Nick becoming the new Santa. Kris, the grumpy step brother and also the towns mechanic, moved to the town when he was thirteen after his mom and Santa fell in love one night. The two have shared looks and tension over the years until finally, one night, Nick gets jealous when he sees Kris with a female Elf, and well, after that, they are inseparable.

It was short, fun, spicy, and very different from anything I've ever read, but I can say for sure it was definitely Christmassy. The use of Christmas décor in this book was hilarious!

Did I love it? No. But I enjoyed it for what it was. The plot was actually quite good, the spice was spicy, and I liked the characters. It was cute towards the end, and I can honestly say it will stay in the brain a little while.

Short and spicy, yet with some amazingly sweet moments, this was a fun read to definitely get you in the holiday spirit - and I'm pretty certain I'll never look at a sleigh in the same way again 😅

Though short, it worked perfectly as its own story, and you really get a feel for the characters and the set up of the North Pole world that Vindictiv has created. The chemistry and the tension is palpable, and it's just such a fun read, perfect for this time of year.

The spice was just *chefs kiss* - you get "good boy", "Santa baby" AND a crawl to me moment 🥵 - but the sweetness of the romance and the pining balanced perfectly.

Add in that this is another new Aussie author, and I'm definitely going to be following her writing journey.

Read as December's #storyseekingbuddyreads group read - thank you to Emily and M.K for this fun buddy read!

-------------------------

Sleighed is a steamy, MM small town romance set in the North Pole that will have you laughing and swooning till the very end.

The story follows Kris and Nick. Nick is Santa Claus' son who is about to take over being Santa, and this is his first year on the job. Kris is Nicks stepbrother who has grown up to be the North Pole bad boy mechanic who spends most of his time going through all the elves.

The two have spent years with this pent-up tension of glances, jealousy, and wondering what it would feel like under their touch. This year, however, Nick can't control himself any longer and gives in to his urges. And boy is it fucking HOT!! 🔥🥵

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be railed in the back of Santa's sleigh this one is definitely for you!

I hate how much of a Manwhore Kris was. Nick literally walks in on Kris getting a bj from elf(ow). Then takes over from her and continues the bj Kris was getting when she leaves. I hated the Kris has fucked half the elfs the Christmas village. Men and Women. While Kris has only fucked women and not a lot of them with. I just really when an MC is experienced while the other MC is inexperienced.

4.5 STARS | This is my first Stepbrothers M/M Romance and this book did not disappoint me!! This was HOT and SPICY for a Christmas romance and loved every moment of it! The story follows Nick will be the next Santa Claus at the North Pole and is getting ready for the big night on December 24th. But he is distracted by his badass stepbrother, Kris, who is fixing and updating the sleigh. Both guys like each other and long for each other, but can they keep their spicy sessions a secret from their step-parents with ruining the magic of Christmas? A quick and naughty M/M taboo romance to read for the holiday season!
