Crystal Bay University #2
Merry Mischief List
Sometimes it pays to be naughty…
This cheerleader’s been dreaming of a white Christmas—but thanks to wild weather and grounded planes, I’m stuck doing my holiday to-do list (of the sugar and spice variety) without a snowflake in sight.
After an airport run-in with my team’s football coach, there’s hope I may not have to do it alone. Coach Buzzkill, aka James Porter, definitely needs a break from his routine, and my little scavenger hunt could do the trick—if he’ll let it.
But his boundaries have me worried I won’t check off the naughtier items… until his best friend shows up, ready to join the merry mischief.
Santa baby.
This holiday novella is the second installment in the Crystal Bay University Series by Hailey Dickert.

Rating: 10/10⭐️
Spice: 3/5🌶
Tropes: forced proxy; age gap; forbidden (coach x cheerleader) ; Holiday Novella;
Favorite Quote: “I play to win, Andi. If I ever blow it, it’ll be on purpose.”
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is Porter with a side of Knox. I promise I've been a VERY good girl
Andi just broke up with her toxic ex GF and is really struggling with the breakup so her and her bestie create a mischief list for them to do over the Christmas break including all sorts of fun and scandalous tasks but when she can't go home for Christmas she thinks the list is never going to happen but in swoops the coach of the football team she cheers for to save the day.
HOLIDAY NOVELLA PERFECTION.
That's truly all i need to write here because my words will not do this novella justice.
Character Chemistry?✔
Angsty Tension? ✔
Impeccable banter? ✔
Hilarious Christmas puns? ✔
HOT as sin spice? ✔✔✔✔✔
Y'all I'm not even joking this was everything I could of ever wanted and more. I loved Porter SM and how grumpy he was but once he let his walls down he truly was such a good time & y'alllllll Andi was so spunky and confident and quick witted I WAS OBSESSED. I'm such a sloot for a confident witty FMC. The list? perfection? The game of truth or lie? HOT. just everything about this book screams I might be on the naughty list but i'm still a good girl.
this is book two in a series but you do NOT need to read book 1 to enjoy this one. it can 100% be a standalone

THE ENDING had me in all sorts like HAILEYYYYYY what. I need more. Can we turn this into a full length novel please 🤭 If you’re looking for a fun spicey Christmas novella this is it. This is the one you need to read 🫶🏼

He cocks a brow and takes a step back, eyes raking slowly over my body from head to toe like he’s Nicolas Cage and I’m the mother fucking Declaration of Independence.
There were a lot of old pop culture reference a 21 year old college student would not know. They were also weird af. This could have been all right. Never great since I didn’t care for any of the characters. But better. Maybe it’s because it’s a novela. Short stories sometimes lack character development and I can’t really see them. Either way, I’m sad. This story depressed me.

4.5⭐️’s and 2 XL Gingerbread men🤎🤭
Why don’t more holiday novellas feature a twerking contest and forbidden age gaps?? And we got triple bi rep too?? God this book was a smash👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Andi is the bold, confident FMC I love to read about. Her taunts and quick wit had me giggling over her interactions with Coach Porter (and Knox). Meanwhile Knox and his easygoing, fun loving energy perfectly balance out Coach’s need for structure and familiarity.
God I love me a good spicy list trope. The elements ranging from sweet as sugar plums to Gingerbreads XLGD made for so much fun (and honestly great storyline pacing).
Altogether the chemistry between Coach and Andi (and I will continue to include Knox) had me fanning myself nonstop. Heck from the airport meet up, I was so enthralled. Hailey’s writing had me hooked from the first page and now I’m craving more!!
A solid spicy novella if you’re looking to deck some balls I MEAN HALLS this season🤭🤭

5 Gumdrops.
Honestly a perfect, spicy, and fun Christmas story. It was genuinely funny and the banter and chemistry between, well, literally every single character was *chef’s kiss*
I’m so obsessed with Andi and Porter (and Knox). This was. A Lot. in the best way. I’m so glad this isn’t the end of their story!
First thing on my to do list after the holidays is to go back and read Hailey Dickert’s other books, because clearly I have been missing out.

What a fun little spicy read. Loved their dynamic and the list they needed to check off. Plus adding in a pro NFL player for some 3some shenanigans was quite the touch 😏

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you so much Hailey Dickert
Andi has dumped (allegedly) her girlfriend two weeks before Christmas and she's swearing off humankind now. Trying to cheer her up, Stella helps her to write a merry to-do list, which becomes a little naughty as they add things — a Merry Mischief List.
About to travel to meet her family for Christmas, her flight is canceled and she's forced to stay in Florida. At the airport, she bumps into James Porter, whose flight was also canceled. Porter is the CBU's football coach and so happens to be her sister's ex-boyfriend.
Stuck in the most unchristmas place on earth (Andi's words, not mine), and through a series of coincidences, Andi and Porter end up having to spend more time together than they expected. Luckily for Andi, who has yet to beat Stella in their competition, Porter is willing to help her cross a few items off her Merry Mischief List.
But will he help her to check off the naughtiest items? You'll have to read it to find out. It's worth it 😉
I've loved Andi ever since I read Return Policy, I wasn't sure she would ever have a book for herself but I was hoping! She's so sure of herself, confident, and sex-positive. I absolutely love her! This novella just made me fall deeper in love with her and settled her as my favorite character in the series so far. She's bisexual, has some switch vibes, and is totally a brat, can't top that!
The tropical Christmas setting was another thing I loved about this book. As a Brazilian, Christmas is summer, so I loved seeing that represented.
Hear me out, usually I don't settle for a happy-for-now kind of ending, but I think this is gonna worth my wait *fingers crossed*
Definitely another hit from Hailey! Thank you for giving Andi a story (I literally was asked for that lol), and please revisit them in the future!

“You’re gonna be trouble, aren’t you?”
A Merry Mischief List to complete over winter break made up between Andi and her best friend Stella to help keep Andi’s mind off her recent ex. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Andi is unable to go home for the holidays and is stuck in Florida near her college. But so is her college’s strict football coach, Coach Porter, who also happens to be her sister’s ex. He ends up stranded at the same time at the same airport and somehow ends up helping her complete her Mischief list.
To the point, these two were actually way sweeter than I expected. This one gets steamy, but there is a bit of buildup and tension prior to that. I enjoyed this one overall. I truly thought it would just be a super spicy Christmas read, but it really was a fun story about two people who are a little forbidden spending time together and having fun together and with others. Oh and they get busy as well. What more can one ask for in a holiday read.

This was such a great read. I enjoyed it all the way through. Haileys writing NEVER misses for me.
This book was short but most of the time I forgot and thought I was reading a 300 page novel cause how engrossed I got. I’m so excited for more Andi and Porter to come (and Knox of course)
Andi was a bad asssssss. I enjoyed her straight away. Her sarcastic and dry retorts had me dying throughout. My favourite Hailey book girlfriend so far!
Porter was a dream. I would do anything for this man. He was amazing. The way he actually cared for Andi too was really special. He wasn’t just in it for a good time.
I love the CBU universe and I am super excited for more to come!

I'm still sweating!!! This was such a fun, extra spicy holiday novella. Porter and Andi's super flirty banter was amazing. They had me blushing my face off!!

What a fun holiday read about two people who shouldn’t be attracted to each other, but have an amazing connection. Things to look for in this book:
🎄 Holiday novella
🎄 Age gap
🎄 Grumpy/sunshine
🎄 One bed
🎄 Sister’s ex-boyfriend
🎄 Coach/student
🎄 MFM scene (holy hotness)
🎄 Naughty to do list
🎄 Bisexual rep
When Andi and Porter’s plans get derailed and they are forced to stay in their college town for the holidays. And unfortunately for them, things keep pushing them together. And when Andi needs someone to help he with her naughty holiday to do list, Porter volunteers himself as tribute.
And what fun these two have! From all their naughty shenanigans, to all of the fun banter they have between them, these two are so full of good times and chemistry!
I also love the friendly competition between Andi and Stella - and the absolute crazy things that they came up with for this list! They had me laughing out loud.
Honorable mention for the MFM scene - that was hot and definitely felt like it could have turned into a MMF scene at a point!
My only complaint is that I felt this ended on a happy for now, but no real happily ever after. I’m hoping that we get a full novel between these two to really dive into everything that they are working against them and to see if they have what it takes for a real relationship!

ARC review:
All I want for Christmas is Porter and Knox 💚❤️
Ho ho holy ginger snaps! This is by far one of my favorite spicy, holiday reads in quite some time! The tension in this one… it builds and then “boom” there’s the spice! The banter is spot-on and had me cracking up throughout the entire book (a dirty National Treasure reference that had me in tears 🤣). Andi is such a unique, passionate, and full of life/energy FMC and I am here for her! She is down on her luck after a breakup and decides, with the help of her bestie, to get out of her funk by competing the The Merry Mischief List, geez what a way to get over a break up by getting naughty in all sorts of ways! Porter is my favorite kind of MMC, he’s caring, set in his ways (loosening up with the help of Andi) and has a secret Dom side. I love how the relationship between Porter and Andi evolves through out and can’t wait to see what is in store next for them. Knox is a most welcome addition as well to the story; who doesn’t love a hunky football player, but two is even better! Major Daddy, or should I say Coach vibes, and I am all about the praise, from both MMC’s *swoon*
Such a cute, spicy holiday romance novella that has me trying to decide if I really want to make Santa’s “nice” list this year! 😉
If you’re looking for banter, spice, an age gap romance, and a little MFM too this is the perfect novella for you!
Huge thank you to Hailey Dickert for the ARC. Nothing like a spicy, Christmas romance to get you in the holiday spirit!

This Book was every thing, I am so sad that I did not read this during Christmas because this was absolutely giving delicious fun and festive. The concept of this book is so much fun I seriously could not put this book down. I read this novella in one 3 hour sitting and I wish I had more of it!
The banter in this book was also perfect! I had myself full on cackling at my book at some many times during this, the chemistry between them was so light hearted and they just joked around and made fun of each other heaps, it was the best.
I need more of Andi and Porter,s forbidden romance, I need to know what is next for there story, I feel like this was left on such an open ended ending that I just don't know where they are going to take this story.
The spice in this Book was also phenomenal Hailey knows how to deliver her spice and I ate it all up! Another Brilliant book.

A borderline perfect spicy Christmas read. Loved the characters, the banter & humor, and it's chock full of Christmassy themes......and smut 🤣 It was frivolous at best which was a nice change of pace, but I'm 90% sure the author didn't develop the characters at ALL! Like I couldn't even tell you what color eyes Porter has? Does he have a beard? Not sure if that was my brain malfunctioning, or if this author just doesn't sweat the details?
The ending was bullshit!! Just make the book 50 pages longer and close off the story. This was fun, but I've no interest in reading an additional full length novel 🙄

Dear Santa, you better add me to the naughty list 😈
This was such a fun read, I loved it! Andi was hilarious and the banter between her and Porter was perfect, I was laughing to myself throughout.
For a novella it didn’t feel super fast paced you get a lush amount of build up and tension between the MCs, but don’t be fooled there is spice and it is SPICY 🌶️ 🥵
If you’re looking for a spicy fun Christmas novella with age gap, forced proximity, sisters ex, forbidden (coach x cheerleader) and a dollop of MFM add this to the top of your tbr!
And Knox? Ooof, he can be my third gumdrop any day of the week 😮💨 I really hope this isn’t the last of Andi and Porter we see 👀

I received this book as an arc in return for an honest review.
Which is that I loved this book, it was a super short Christmasy read that didn’t take that long to read at all and I found it extremely enjoyable.
I loved the way that this has been written and will definitely be reading more books written by this author

This novella was cheeky and sassy! So much yearnin’ and burnin’ which exploded into some really delicious and a lil taboo spice. Some cheesy moments which were really perfect for the story. Such a fun read!

I really liked the story. The idea of a (naughty) list to have a great Christmas is really good. The chemistry between the main characters is great but I would have liked to know about there feelings towards each other besides the sexual tension. I also missed a bit of a plot, something unexpected. It would have been interesting to see how Andi and Porter would react and deal with it. The end was surprising for me, I would have preferred a happy ever after with them together and to read about how the overcome the rules about a faculty member and a student. To put it in a nutshell it is a good, very spicy Christmas romance with interesting characters.
I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much for the chance, Hailey.
