His For Christmas

by Lea Rose

Attraction. Lust. Seduction. I thought I understood all these things, but then Edison Miller came crashing into my life and flipped everything upside down. My mom always says I need to settle down with a peaceful and kind-hearted guy, but Edison is anything but calm. He's rough, unpredictable, and demanding, and no matter how hard I resist, no matter how much I try to push him away, he refuses to take no for an answer. Like a Christmas miracle, he walked into my heart, stripped down my walls, and set fire to my soul. And now, I can't resist him any longer...

This festive novella was an absolute FIREWORK of spice, heart and holiday heat!

Sydney is a fierce, independent heroine with trust issues and Edison? SWOON. He’s that cocky, confident book boyfriend who knows what he wants and he wants her.

Their chemistry is off the charts from the start: fiery, equal and loaded with tension. But what really stood out were the tender, intimate moments woven between the spice. Lea has a gift for making steam feel emotional and meaningful, not just physical.

Even with drama knocking at the door (hello, messy ex), Sydney and Edison learn to trust each other and fight for what’s growing between them. And that epilogue? Chef’s kiss!! Wrapped everything up like the perfect little present.

Aww! It kind of melted a little of the ice from around my heart 🤭

A contemporary Christmas romance, with a sprinkling of angst for our FMC who has just the right amount of panache to keep the MMC, Edison on his toes. His festive charm, obsession, protectiveness and downright…it’s not fair he’s that hot, to have us fanning ourselves and wishing we could open him as a present on Christmas morning 🎁

Another one of those books if you are left in peace (I know, it’s fair irritating that people and by people I mean family have the audacity to demand our attention) when all we want is to snuggle under a blankie and read 🤣 Seriously, if you want a nice festive read with the right amount of spice and sass this would be a great book for you. 🎄❄️🎅🏻

Well.. it happened.. I've just finished my last book ever written by Lea, and I'm on the verge of crying!

Every single book from underneath her pen is a solid 5* read (to me), the way she brings her characters to life using words is amazing!
Her men are to die for, and I would beg every single one of them on my knees if they told me to do so 😏🤭

And it wasn't any different with Edison in this one particular book. Insta obsession, man who knows what he wants and does ANYTHING to get it.
His inner thoughts about Sydney.. That's the kind of love I need in my life! 🥹🖤
And of course I wouldn't say no to having that filthy mouth of his on me either, haha 🤭

This might be a short book, but it's still packed with love, spice and fun!

Lea knows I love her books, and I assure you, if you'll ever give them a chance, you will too! 🖤

Sydney works part time at her friends coffee shop and at night she's a spicy dancer. She's been through a bad break-up and has a hard time trusting some men. So what's she to do when a billionaire, tattooed, large man comes into the coffee shop on a date but cant take his eyes off Sydney.... and then comes to the spicy club she works at and watches her.... and then asks her on date.... Well she string him along of course. But only for a little bit!

This steamy Christmas novella was perfect as a holiday pallet cleanser. It has my favorite tropes and the MMC's name is Edison - I don't know why, but I love it!

• What a spicy little novella, smirk. Lea never fails me. She knows how to write characters you fully immerse yourself into and even here, in a shorter story, I was heavily invested.

• Sydney & Edison, both headstrong, stubborn, and powerful MCs in their own ways. Their collision was fast and fiery. And I was SO here for it. Did I also mention delicious? Yeah it was absolutely delicious. The possessiveness of Edison 😏 the idgaf attitude of Sydney, chefs kiss.

• The whole story, from the beginning, middle, to the end 🥹 ahhhhhh, perfect. Do I recommend this. 100%. A quick, easy, and spicy read.

ARC Review

This spicy Christmas novella is a must for your TBR list.

Edison's and Sydney's relationship is hot as hell! He's obsessive, determined, dominant, and she's firey independent and doesn't bow down to any man.

We all need an Edison under our Christmas trees this year.

I didn't want this story to end I couldn't get enough of them!

[Sammie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank you so much to Lea for this arc!!

I loved this. If you're after a short Christmas story, that's fast paced, has an MMC who knows exactly what he wants and goes for it, with no game playing, and a fmc who is fiercely independent, but has been burned by love and takes a hot second to drop her walls, then this is for you.

I devoured this in one sitting.

Edison can have me for Christmas if he wants, as long as he doesn't mind my two kids and husband tagging along 🤣🤣

[Nicole Madere · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing! I absolutely loved this book and all its smutty goodness 🥵🌶️

3.5 stars rounded up. A nice romantic (and spicy) novella. Strong headed FMC, which I appreciate.

[Imogen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was perfect

[Jenna Petula · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first Lea Rose read was a scrumptious holiday novella with my fave kind of MMC: possessive with a filthy mouth 😈🥵

Sydney meets Edison while he’s on a date with someone else, but he tracks her down at the club she dances with. Sydney’s stubborn but Edison is persistent in getting his way.

YUM YUM YUM. My fave kind of spicy romance. Billionaire, age gap, tattoos, dirty talk, and BREEDING? Delish.

An absolute pleasure, and I’ll be back for more.

This book is just 🥵🥵🥵.

The way Edison is towards Sydney! 🥵🥵 we all need an Edison!!

I could not put this book down! It was gripping! Absolutely fantastic read!

I love how Lea portrays her characters in so much detail it feels like you know them in real life! The storyline is just incredible. There was one point where I was angry at Edison but soon turned into happiness!

The ending!! 🥹🥹🥹. Perfect way to end a fantastic read!

I would say this book is definitely a MUST read for the Christmas period!

I would like to thank Lea for the amazing opportunity to arc read this book! I cant wait to read your upcoming books🖤🖤🖤

[Kaitlyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved His For Christmas! The perfect mix of chase, steam, and just a dash of ex drama kept me hooked from start to finish. It was so refreshing to read about somewhat “normal” people—it felt like a nice change of pace from the usual stalker/murderer tropes.

Edison might have had a few stalker-ish tendencies, but honestly, it came across as pure love and devotion. He’s definitely earned a spot in my top book boyfriends. The chemistry between him and the heroine was palpable, and their story had me smiling the whole way through.

If you’re looking for a steamy holiday romance with just the right amount of drama and heart, this one’s a must-read!

[thespicybooknerd · Rating 5 out of 5]

Edison and Sydney bring every single ounce of spice with His For Christmas! Lea Rose hooked me from the start with her fast-paced, spicy holiday novella. I did not want to put Edison and Sydney down for a second! Sydney is strong and independent, and Edison is an absolute book boyfriend who knows what he wants. The two of them together are just... chef's kiss. This was my first book from Lea Rose, but it most definitely will not be my last.

"I've never been as sure about anything as I am about Sydney. My soulmate. My obsession. My forever."

[Lix · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thanks Lea for this ARC! The way I devoured this novella is insane! I literally downloaded it the second it went out and finished it in one go.
It’s has such a romcom feel to it whilst being spicy. The perfect holiday read.

You will love this if you like fast burn, an MMC who knows what he wants and goes for it, an FMC who’s strong as hell and knows the exact buttons to push and spice (oh god, the spice🥵)


Also can someone gift me Edison this Christmas ? 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[Victoria_Lifeoncamera · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need Edison Miller under my Chrismas Tree this year!!!
I loved Lea Rose first book & this one did not disappoint, short & sweet with plenty of spicy. I love the story between Edison & Sydney, the fast pace story between the two, the chemistry, the attitude they both have & the story they both have. Did I want more YES!! Will I re-read this book again YES!!

Do I Recommend: 👍🏽

I will say the title kind of threw me off a bit because I thought it was going to be more Christmas themed, but it was mostly just around the Christmas time more than anything, but Christmas wasn’t really a theme throughout the book. It was just mentioned a couple times.

OK now the actual book I thought it was a really good quick read. I feel like it was a perfect length for it being a novella. Some Novellas feel like they should’ve been longer or shorter, but this one felt like it was just right. I enjoyed how headstrong and stubborn the fmc was . And I also liked the mmc’s possessiveness and persistence. Ahh this coupled me feel so gitty and excited for each new chapter. For it being a short story, it kept me wanting to keep reading. This is a good first book to start off 2025. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a quick spicy holiday read.


“You look nice."
"Nice?" she asks, raising an eyebrow.
I take a moment to let my eyes linger on her, shamelessly drinking in every inch of her. "What would you like me to say?" ”
“Nothing you don't mean."
"Okay, you look like I want to sit you on top of this bar; slide whatever you’re wearing under this skirt to the side so I can eat your pussy in front of every other asshole here who thinks he has any kind of shot with you." ”

“You're my fucking addiction. Do you know that?" he growls, his voice thick with need. "Do you have any idea what you do to me, Sydney?" As the heat of his words burns through me, I nod breathlessly. "Right now, I'm giving in to you and your hold over me. I'm giving into this addiction. So feed it—give me the high I'm so fucking desperate for.” 💞🤤🌶️

I'm not even gonna lie, I devoured this. The insta-obsession was done so well that I didnt even care it was only weeks. It had a little sprinkle of drama that I was eating up and I LOVED the banter. No crumbs. 10/10 for me.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

"His scent engulfs me, intoxicating and unmistakably masculine - like spice and sin wrapped up in heat."

I was really excited for this ARC opportunity to read a spicy Christmas novela. I loved how balanced this book was! Don't get me wrong, it was hot af. But it was also really sweet, and I enjoyed the Christmassy vibe, too!

"I don't understand what this is, so why are you pushing so hard for me?"
"Because you feel like fire, baby, and I've lived in the cold for far too long."

I loved this. I loved the FMC so much. I loved that she fought the MMC at every turn and didn't easily give in. Fun, easy, and short. This is set at Christmas time but not really a Christmassy book if that makes sense.

His for Christmas 🖤

Review:

Where do I start wow wow wow Lea Rose can really write a great spicy Novella. I think I’m speaking for most women when I say we wish there was a boot camp for our husbands so they can all be like the MMC Edison.

The journey Lea takes you through in this book is amazing the writing flows so well and you really won’t want to put it down.

Sydney & Edison they are both stubborn and powerful MC’s in there own right, Sydney and her idgaf attitude along side Edisons possessiveness is just everything you need from a spicy Novella. They meet very quickly and I feel it quicks off straight away, every section of this book is amazing from the beginning all the way to the end your in for a spicy ride with some twists and turns through this great Novella.

It’s a must read for any romance reader who loves some spicy spicy spicy. I 100% recommend this book I’m new to spicy books but out of the few I’ve read so far this has to be my favourite. It’s a 5 spicy chilli pepper read for me. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
