October 26, 2024My review is for Secret Santa by Kristin Lee.
Axel is having a bit of a rough patch. He is divorced, hasn’t seen his kids in a while, his grandfather has cancer, and now a DUI gets him thrown into Santa’s World. Everything seems to get brighter when Ali his grandfather’s neighbor, attends a Christmas party where Axel is Santa. When Ali sits on Santa’s lap they know exactly what they want Santa to bring them.
Axel and Ali have both been hurt in their past by people who should have been the ones that love them most. This is a steamy but sweet love strong. Their attraction to one another gets a little hot at times but the develop a wonderful relationship by just hanging out and getting to know one another. One of my favorite quotes was from Axle when Ali asked him why he called her Sunbeam. “I call her Sunbeam because she lights up the space that surrounding her. She looks on the bright side of everything.” I like this quote because Alex is beginning to see Ali for who she is not just the attraction. Of course not every is a winter wonderland there is a bump and curves along Santa’s Way to bring Ali her Christmas wish.
All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I have not been by anyone.

One epic boxed set ripe and ready for plucking just in time for the cooking holidays . Well not cooking but having a good time and I needing a rhyme if you know what I mean with sublime storytelling every time. So first up she needs no introduction in the art of seduction, it’s Zee Irwin 👄Next is Kristin Lee 🥹, well , what can I say I know her writing well and it’s swell. Which leads me nicely to Britney Bell , I’m a stalwart supporter of this great author whose writing has been inviting and exciting me for years. 💋Next author is the last in the set, her books are always a good read Ellen Brooks . ❤️ Single Dad Santa Zee Irwin :-
Dillon Montgomery knew he should avoid Mayor Meadow Boyd! He has Opal to consider and anyway , a Boyd and a Montgomery in the same mix… He is in a fix , trying to juggle working for the family business , raising twelve year Opal and trying to stay one step of his ex regarding his daughter and his failing to hit the big time with his Big Country Music to make a dime isn’t what it ought to be. He’s driving through town with his daughter , it certainly needs a face lift . “The sign on the pole says, ‘Town Rally and Light-Up Night tomorrow on the town square.’ Can we go?” “ Sure thing. I wouldn’t miss it” …“Here we are. The Montgomery Mansion.” “But the sign says it’s the Old Kentucky Manor Bed and Breakfast,” Opal observed. “What? That can’t be right. I grew up here. This will always be my home.” We got out, and I grimaced. “The building used to be grand with all shiny, leaded glass windows, and the landscaping filled with flowers. Great Grandma Montgomery was a stickler with the gardens. She’d probably roll over in her grave right now seeing the status of these rose bushes.” Well Dillon found out that it’s now Boyd owned . For the past year by Meadow and her brother Police Robbie Boyd. Oh boy! The family business is why he finds himself and his daughter back in Kissing Springs . What he didn’t think he’d encounter is the new Mayor ,who knows really well. They dated in high school . Mayor Boyd should do well to avoid Dillon , she’s had her fair share of bad luck since losing him years ago. But that’s the thing about Kissing Springs , Kentucky. If she manages to do as she thinks instead of feels she’ll be very unlucky indeed. Now back to that Rally and light up “Maybe the old Montgomery and Boyd curse can finally be broken with these two.” One stolen kiss was all it took to get her panties all wet and her shook up. “I can’t do this,” Dillon complained to Charles “What do you mean? I’ve done my part. I reached a suitable buyout for your contract with Magnus Music an hour ago. Now, you do your part, giving the mayor the eviction notices. What part of you coming to work for me did you not understand?” Well Charles the Grinch thinks he’s got all bases . But he’s not figured on Santa’s aces. Dillon has heart and it belongs right here . “The small-town charm got to you, didn’t it?” “I suppose. Everyone was just so friendly. People knew my name after only a couple of days. And Miss Meadow was the sweetest. You like her, don’t you Dad?” Brilliant read ! 🎶 Here comes Santa Claus 🎶 “Touch me, good girl. I dare you.” Deepening , penetrating, reclaiming what was once his…bliss . Dillon hadn’t forgotten how to kindle her flaming desire of heavenly fire. “I’m done with soft. I want fire. Take me hard, Dillon.” She he stay or should he go Meadow? Hot damn Dillon’s the man! Christmas Wishes indeed ! Sublime reading . Well I didn’t expect any other by Zee Irwin , I do love her writing , it’s exciting , enticing and little be naughty ,but spice is very nice too along with candy cane sweet a perfect holiday treat. The characters , oh my and a great big sigh

His grandfather is ill with cancer and needs his care , he could’ve been sent to serve his community service anywhere but, here he is in Kissing Springs . Kick in the teeth he’s gotta act all jolly and not melancholy. So he goes a Ho,Ho, Ho-ing. Yup he’s playing Santa ,could it be any more cruel? But what he shows is Hercule and he has those women all a drool .Hot as heck and he’s in the flow and it’s Alice/ Ali with her whispering a Christmas list that includes a silver bullet , in his ear that has him feeling horny and hot to trot , but no Santa you can’t pull that cracker in here…. She’s having fun and he’s only just begun but oh Alice hun , it has ME undone! Alice Gardener , dental assistant can barely remember the Christmas party. Her boss hired a sexy Santa and she had a few shots , that’s all she’s got and can remember. Pity she can’t recall that hot dance on his member while whispering that a silver bullet is top of heavenly Christmas wish-list .. what you say when you’re …pissed… Alice starts to believe in Santa. She keeps receiving gifts that are on her wish list …. and isn’t that just romantic ,well when she finds out it’s Axel this has her feeling frantic. A vulnerable miss sunshine is just out for a good time and when she’s introduced to Axel he feels familiar ,somehow it’s sublime. She lives with her Nana , has since she’s was ten. When the old girl throws her keys to tease the hottie next door. Ali gets more than she bargained for on her way to work.“It’s a different day, and I had a chance encounter with an extremely sexy man.” It gets better planning her work Christmas party , yes it falls four before Christmas but hey , party! ‘ The Slutty Sleigh of Smiles’ The Santa is wearing a suit alright but it’s not off the rack , it’s hot as sin and hugs his skin on HIS magnificent rack…“legs.
“I haven’t sat on Santa’s lap for a long time. Am I supposed to tell you that I want a new skillet for my grandma or a luxury appliance like a dishwasher?” “Tell me what you really want, Sunbeam?”“I want that silver bullet back. Oh, and I want a man—not a boy.” Oh boy! Sunshine and trouble make a good double act . Should they make a love pact…“Say you want this.” Our chests almost touch on every inhale, we’re breathing so heavy. I nod my head while inhaling his woodsy cologne. He cups my chin as his thumb traces my lips. “I need words, Alice.” “I don’t just want this. I need this like Santa needs a sleigh.” Way hey! Way to go Romeo! “Who knew Santa delivered before Christmas?” But then she needs to go back and revisit Santa’s sack because Axel is by the wayside and she needs a firm rack to appease and tease her senses.
Scoring Santa Britney Bell
Brilliant ! When high school teacher Lennox sets her sights on Nash she doesn’t realise he’s her total opposite . He’s a jock star “You’re going to take this team to state and win the championship!”, she’s a geeky math genius but they click and oh what an awesome love story. “Since your ex used to work at the high school, do you know the math teacher?” “The little petite one with brunette hair, large frame glasses, that’s real quiet?” “Yep, that’s the one.”
Well she just shot him down and Nash is all aghast …“ “Okay, so meet me at my truck after school, and I will give you a ride?” “Sounds good. How will you know when I am ready?” Her car needed a starter. Nash needs to start her… It takes two to dress a tree but then there’s grandpa so guess it takes 3…He shoots he scores! ( Nash not grandpa haha ) Well this Santa can fill my stocking any day of the week! Very well written by the prolific pen of Britney Bell, excellent background story , it’s an immersive ,well described masterpiece.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was such a sweet book. Told in first person POV from both the male and female characters, follow them on their journey of overcoming heartbreak, finding their selves and their purpose, learning to trust and fanning their smoldering ember of chemistry in this second chance book.
I also was allowed to listen to the audible that will be coming for this book, which is narrated by two different people, one for Dillion and the other for Meadow. They did a wonderful job at giving this book a voice and making you feel like you are actually there.
I absolutely loved and adored Dillion. His determination to spend more time with his daughter, feeling okay to give up his dreams to make sure Opal and Meadow live their best life, and proving to Meadow that they are meant to be was perfect. I loved Meadow‘s determination and sass. I loved that even through her running and insecurities, she was reluctant to let Dillion in but didn’t go overboard with it. I love that when she finally opened herself up to him, she wouldn’t let him give up his dreams for her.

This was such a sweet book. Told in first person POV from the main male and female characters. This story is full of laughs, heartache, second chances and load of steamy chemistry.
I love that Alice is always so happy despite her background. I love that Axel is finally able to thaw his iced heart and find what he was missing in Alice. I love that Alice is so confident and not afraid to back down and is always there for Axel when he doesn’t even realize he needed her. I love that Axel is so sneaky and does whatever he can to make Alice happy.
The side characters really brought this story together and made it even more entertaining. This is the first time reading from this author, but it won’t be the last.

I read this on Christmas Day (2 years ago) and apparently forgot to write a review🫣. I do remember Nash and Lennox being adorable together though. I will be going back to reread and refresh my memory so I can leave a more accurate review.

*Read 12.28.22*
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is book is told in first person POV by the main male and female characters. This book is full of second chances and mending hearts.
I love that both Hunter and Hannah were best friends for years and haven’t stopped thinking about each other since their fall out. I love that it took one special little boy to bring them together again and face what happened in their past. I love that they both are determined to make things right between them again.
Once you finish these, go read the rest of the books in the kissing springs world. These authors continue bringing us the magic and revisiting their characters with three more seasons (and more to come) that are just as addictive as this Santa season. I received an advanced readers copy. These thoughts and opinions are my own.

Four sizzling romances by four separate sensational authors set in Kissing Springs where four sexy Santas find their sweet happiness.
1. Single Santa by Zee Irwin
Welcome to Kissing Springs, Kentucky the new Romance Capital of the South according to newly elected Mayor Meadow Boyd. Meadow has finally recovered from the horrible results of her ex’s town scandal and their breakup by throwing herself into making her hometown a thriving business and visitor destination again when Dillion Montgomery, a talented singer and performer, arrives in town with his twelve year old daughter. Dillion has just had a major issue come up in his singing career and is now working for his family business Montgomery and Sons Holdings led by his older brother Charles. The Boyds and the Montgomerys are the town’s Hatfields and McCoys with a feud dating back to the 1880’s but that didn’t stop bad boy Dillion Montgomery from desiring good girl Meadow Boyd when they were just teens. As the two meet once again that desire is still there for the both of them but Dillion arrives with orders from Charles that will derail all of Meadow’s plans for the town, the town that Dillion is once again growing very fond of too but he’s going to have to make some very tough decisions. Will he test the town’s new slogan or do his brother’s bidding?
I absolutely loved Meadow from the very beginning when the reader sees her at the angry stage of the breakup. Zee Irwin is a genius at showing the emotions of her characters and making them so real. I could feel all of Meadow’s pain and then watched as she found a way to let the pain go and then transitioning to let the grief out then on to recovery. Her interactions with her brother are sweet and caring. Dillion is so loving with Meadow and his performance as Santa is bound to get your attention. It is evident from their chemistry and banter that Meadow and Dillion were made to be together and no family feud nor family curse will get in their way but it will not be easy.
2. Secret Santa by Kristin Lee
“Santa, I want a man.” Now, how is that for a Christmas wish? It’s exactly what twenty-four year old Alice “Ali” asks her secret Santa for at an office Christmas party not knowing that Santa was her next door neighbor, thirty-six year old Axel Chase. Axel, a local hometown basketball star had married his high school sweetheart, had two children then caught his wife cheating on him, divorced, and left town. He’s now back in Kissing Springs to care for his pop but ended up with a DUI charge that landed him doing community service as Santa at different events. Ali and Axel had encountered each other a few times before the party and the physical attraction was there, enough for her to call him “Trouble” and him to call her “Sunbeam”. And those sum up this story, Axel is “troubled” and is “trouble” struggling with losing custody of his kids, an age gap attraction to Ali and his pop’s illness yet he brings trouble to Ali’s heart and does troublesome things to her body. And Ali, although she carries scars from a wounded childhood, shines like the sun with her caring and loving personality but underneath she struggles with not being loved. I think you’re going to love Ali and possibly want to shake Axel a few times but he does redeem himself in the end. This one will take your emotions on a rollercoaster ride but it’s a thrilling ride all the way to the end.
3.Scoring Santa by Britney Bell
Have you ever been bullied by the mean girls? Whether you have or not, I think you’re going to understand exactly how Lennox Moore feels when she sees her old nemesis, Vanessa, from high school now teaching at the same high school as she is and to make matters worse Vanessa has set her eyes on Lennox’s hot new neighbor and the new head football coach, Nash Witten, who has unbelievable to Lennox shown an interest in her. Oh yes, Nash has taken more than an interest in Lennox, he’s decided she’s his “Angel”.
This is a shy beautiful nerd and hot sexy jock romance and they both fall quickly but she pulls back because of the threat of competition after a prank on her actually ends with him playing Santa…and he’s not your normal mall Santa. I loved how he fell for her quickly but I didn’t understand how he was wiling to let the relationship cool so quickly either. I would have liked to seen him actually confront Vanessa once again and made it clear to her where he stood and to prove he would protect Lennox. I enjoyed the dynamics that his dad and granddad brought to the story and loved how they went about giving their advice and comments to him. Finally, one last thought, Nash really got some interesting packages left on his front porch.
4. Scorching Santa by Ellen Brooks
Is there anything more scorching than romances involving the hot fireman and the quiet librarian? Well, yes, how about the fireman being one of the Santas at the Hot Derby Nights. Adding fire to the flame, he, Hunter Williams, had been the best friend of the librarian, Hannah Porter, since kindergarten until one night when they were both nineteen and he messed up resulting in a son with her cousin and a broken friendship. Now, six years later an unusual circumstance has Hannah and Hunter sharing the same living quarters and it’s time to break the six years of silence.
I found at first that I wanted to dislike Hunter for his lapse in judgment and for staying away but later as he reveals what he witnessed, my heart ached for both of them, wishing Hannah had not given up on them so easily either and turned to Ricky. I was expecting a little more from the ending, a little more of the scorching heat or a definite proposal, but still it left me thinking of all the possibilities.
These are four of the eight books in the multi-author Welcome to Kissing Springs: Santa Season and make for delightful reads anytime of the year whether it’s Christmastime or a hot July night. If you enjoy books with a small town vibe where everyone knows your business and don’t mind letting you know, books with hot handsome men and ladies they want to make their own with a good mixture of steam and sweet romance in each, then I suggest you give this book set a try.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
1. Single Santa by Zee Irwin
Welcome to Kissing Springs, Kentucky the new Romance Capital of the South according to newly elected Mayor Meadow Boyd. Meadow has finally recovered from the horrible results of her ex’s town scandal and their breakup by throwing herself into making her hometown a thriving business and visitor destination again when Dillion Montgomery, a talented singer and performer, arrives in town with his twelve year old daughter. Dillion has just had a major issue come up in his singing career and is now working for his family business Montgomery and Sons Holdings led by his older brother Charles. The Boyds and the Montgomerys are the town’s Hatfields and McCoys with a feud dating back to the 1880’s but that didn’t stop bad boy Dillion Montgomery from desiring good girl Meadow Boyd when they were just teens. As the two meet once again that desire is still there for the both of them but Dillion arrives with orders from Charles that will derail all of Meadow’s plans for the town, the town that Dillion is once again growing very fond of too but he’s going to have to make some very tough decisions. Will he test the town’s new slogan or do his brother’s bidding?
I absolutely loved Meadow from the very beginning when the reader sees her at the angry stage of the breakup. Zee Irwin is a genius at showing the emotions of her characters and making them so real. I could feel all of Meadow’s pain and then watched as she found a way to let the pain go and then transitioning to let the grief out then on to recovery. Her interactions with her brother are sweet and caring. Dillion is so loving with Meadow and his performance as Santa is bound to get your attention. It is evident from their chemistry and banter that Meadow and Dillion were made to be together and no family feud nor family curse will get in their way but it will not be easy.

Well not cooking but having a good time and I needing a rhyme if you know what I mean with sublime storytelling every time. So first up she needs no introduction in the art of seduction, it’s Zee Irwin 👄Next is Kristin Lee 🥹, well , what can I say I know her writing well and it’s swell. Which leads me nicely to Britney Bell , I’m a stalwart supporter of this great author whose writing has been inviting and exciting me for years. 💋Next author is the last in the set, her books are always a good read Ellen Brooks . ❤️ Single Dad Santa Zee Irwin :-
Dillon Montgomery knew he should avoid Mayor Meadow Boyd! He has Opal to consider and anyway , a Boyd and a Montgomery in the same mix… He is in a fix , trying to juggle working for the family business , raising twelve year Opal and trying to stay one step of his ex regarding his daughter and his failing to hit the big time with his Big Country Music to make a dime isn’t what it ought to be. He’s driving through town with his daughter , it certainly needs a face lift . “The sign on the pole says, ‘Town Rally and Light-Up Night tomorrow on the town square.’ Can we go?” “ Sure thing. I wouldn’t miss it” …“Here we are. The Montgomery Mansion.” “But the sign says it’s the Old Kentucky Manor Bed and Breakfast,” Opal observed. “What? That can’t be right. I grew up here. This will always be my home.” We got out, and I grimaced. “The building used to be grand with all shiny, leaded glass windows, and the landscaping filled with flowers. Great Grandma Montgomery was a stickler with the gardens. She’d probably roll over in her grave right now seeing the status of these rose bushes.” Well Dillon found out that it’s now Boyd owned . For the past year by Meadow and her brother Police Robbie Boyd. Oh boy! The family business is why he finds himself and his daughter back in Kissing Springs . What he didn’t think he’d encounter is the new Mayor ,who knows really well. They dated in high school . Mayor Boyd should do well to avoid Dillon , she’s had her fair share of bad luck since losing him years ago. But that’s the thing about Kissing Springs , Kentucky. If she manages to do as she thinks instead of feels she’ll be very unlucky indeed. Now back to that Rally and light up “Maybe the old Montgomery and Boyd curse can finally be broken with these two.” One stolen kiss was all it took to get her panties all wet and her shook up. “I can’t do this,” Dillon complained to Charles “What do you mean? I’ve done my part. I reached a suitable buyout for your contract with Magnus Music an hour ago. Now, you do your part, giving the mayor the eviction notices. What part of you coming to work for me did you not understand?” Well Charles the Grinch thinks he’s got all bases . But he’s not figured on Santa’s aces. Dillon has heart and it belongs right here . “The small-town charm got to you, didn’t it?” “I suppose. Everyone was just so friendly. People knew my name after only a couple of days. And Miss Meadow was the sweetest. You like her, don’t you Dad?” Brilliant read ! 🎶 Here comes Santa Claus 🎶 “Touch me, good girl. I dare you.” Deepening , penetrating, reclaiming what was once his…bliss . Dillon hadn’t forgotten how to kindle her flaming desire of heavenly fire. “I’m done with soft. I want fire. Take me hard, Dillon.” She he stay or should he go Meadow? Hot damn Dillon’s the man! Christmas Wishes indeed ! Sublime reading . Well I didn’t expect any other by Zee Irwin , I do love her writing , it’s exciting , enticing and little be naughty ,but spice is very nice too along with candy cane sweet a perfect holiday treat. The characters , oh my and a great big sigh

She’s having fun and he’s only just begun but oh Alice hun , it has ME undone! Alice Gardener , dental assistant can barely remember the Christmas party. Her boss hired a sexy Santa and she had a few shots , that’s all she’s got and can remember. Pity she can’t recall that hot dance on his member while whispering that a silver bullet is top of heavenly Christmas wish-list .. what you say when you’re …pissed… Alice starts to believe in Santa. She keeps receiving gifts that are on her wish list …. and isn’t that just romantic ,well when she finds out it’s Axel this has her feeling frantic.

“I haven’t sat on Santa’s lap for a long time. Am I supposed to tell you that I want a new skillet for my grandma or a luxury appliance like a dishwasher?” “Tell me what you really want, Sunbeam?”“I want that silver bullet back. Oh, and I want a man—not a boy.” Oh boy! Sunshine and trouble make a good double act . Should they make a love pact…“Say you want this.” Our chests almost touch on every inhale, we’re breathing so heavy. I nod my head while inhaling his woodsy cologne. He cups my chin as his thumb traces my lips. “I need words, Alice.” “I don’t just want this. I need this like Santa needs a sleigh.” Way hey! Way to go Romeo! “Who knew Santa delivered before Christmas?” But then she needs to go back and revisit Santa’s sack because Axel is by the wayside and she needs a firm rack to appease and tease her senses.

Very well written by the prolific pen of Britney Bell, excellent background story , it’s an immersive ,well described masterpiece.

Oh, Santa is a steamy collection of four previously released Kissing Springs Christmas stories.
Books Included:
SINGLE SANTA by Zee Irwin
This is a steamy, second-chance romance. Meadow is the town mayor. Dillon is a country singer and her hunky, high school sweetheart. He has a daughter Opal and is tired of the grind. He is already a silent partner in the family business, so his brother sends him to Kissing Springs. Meadow wants to restore the town after the former mayor, her cheating ex, left it in bad shape. When Dillon's brother plans to make changes to their town, can the two work together to save it and find love again?
SECRET SANTA by Kristin Lee is a steamy age-gap romance. Alex is an older, hunky single dad who owns a local automotive shop. When he has to do community service after a DUI and ends up playing Santa, he is not happy. Alice "Ali" is a younger, dental hygienist who hires a Santa for her work Christmas party. She ends up in Axel's lap, and he is all too willing to make her Christmas wishes come true. This one had all the feels. These two were both hurt and were great for each other.
SCORING SANTA by Britney Bell focuses on Lennox and Nash. This is an opposites-attract romance. Nash was the popular jock in school and has now returned home to coach. Lennox was shy and nerdy in school and often bullied. She now teaches at the school. They are also neighbors and end up growing close until someone tries to bully Lennox to get her away from Nash.
SCORCHING SANTA by Ellen Brooks is another great second chance romance. Hunter and Hannah were best friends until Hunter had a baby with her cousin. Upset as she had also been friend zoned, she cuts him off. Now, Hannah is watching the baby, and Hunter is determined to earn her forgiveness and win her back. I really loved this one. It pulled at the heartstrings, and Mason was adorbs.
This was such a great collection of some of the Christmas Kissing Springs stories. Expect hot chemistry,holiday fun, and great HEAs.

SECRET SANTA by Kristin Bell
Alice's Nana called her over to the window as she peeked out the sheer curtains saying 'Well, look what the cat dragged in'...
Next door there is a man under the hood of Mr. Warner's Cadillac and she understands what caught her Nana's attention. The man was breathtakingly gorgeous. When her Nana goes to take out the trash Alice tells her that she'll take it out.
She is just putting the garbage in the can when her Nana yells out the door that there is a gift for her in the car and throws out the car keys...in the wrong direction and right at the car next door.
Axel was back in his hometown to look after his grandfather who was going through cancer treatments. If his life wasn't bad enough with his ex-wife suing for full custody of their children he now has to do community service because of a DUI charge.
He was barely over the legal limit after he had met his friends at a bourbon tasting at a local brewery, but the judge decided to have some fun with him. He didn't have just any community service...no, he had to play Santa Claus for the next eight weeks.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable! Secret Santa is an age-gap romance that will keep you laughing. Although not part of the Sarasota Sharks Series there are references to that series in this story.
I love Alice and Axel. Alice has abandonment issues and when she finally finds the perfect man circumstances may take him away from her. Axel has trust issues from a cheating ex-wife who is trying her best to make his life even more miserable when he starts falling for a woman who is twelve years his junior.
This book is action-packed from page one and has all the feels. You will laugh and cry. Kristin gives another wonderful story packed with emotion and smoking-hot sexual chemistry! Highly recommend this book and anything by Kristin Lee!

Single Santa - Zee Irwin
An old family feud, a lover’s curse, trust issues and stardom calling provide plenty drama and issues that could tear them apart, but I loved how Dillion and Meadow communicated and worked through things.
Sweet, steamy and filled with emotion, realistic characters, humour, banter, swoons and perfect HEA.
Secret Santa - Kristin Lee
A Christmas party with Axel as Santa sees a tipsy Alice kiss Santa, which leads to fun, flirting and steam, but then his ex sends a snowball into Alice’s plans. A sweet and steamy read with a very happy HEA.
Scoring Santa - Britney Bell
Lennox used to be shy, bullied and bookish, now she’s a teacher at her old school. Nash used to be the school football star who went pro, now he’s back to coach. These two are sweet and steamy but we can’t forget an old rival who’s set to cause trouble and upset their HEA.
Scorching Santa - Ellen Brooks
Hannah and Hunter were best friends but after heartbreak they haven’t spoken in six years. They’ve been put together by the small town meddlers but soon realise they’ve been given a second chance. Heartbreaking but with forgiveness, sweet and steamy, a well written, emotional story with a HEA.

Single Santa by Zee Irwin
This was a really good book with steamy chemistry, drama, and so much more. I enjoyed the storyline and loved the happily ever after. This is a must-read.
Secret Santa By Kristin Lee
This was such a good book. There was plenty of steamy chemistry and passion with an older man/younger woman age gap. I loved the storyline and the ending.
Scoring Santa by Britney Bell
This was a good book with an addictive storyline. There is steamy chemistry along with rude people who want what they can't have and a wonderful happily ever after. It's a must-read.
Scorching Santa by Ellen Brooks
I enjoyed the story of Hannah and Hunter, and it was nice to see a story involving single parents (the mother of Hunter's son) not fighting each other. The chemistry was steamy, and the writing was good. I would definitely pick up a book of hers again.

I read all 4 books when they first came out, and I loved every single one of them! Kissing Springs is a great little town with tons of holiday cheer and some stripping Santas!! All are standalones connected only by the town of Kissing Springs, but you will see some cross over of characters in some of the books. I loved how short and fun each book was! You need these on your TBR for the holiday season!
For Kristin Lee's Secret Santa:
Secret Santa is the second book in the Welcome to Kissing Springs series, and is a standalone. This fairly quick and very fun read was a joy!! Kristin Lee does a great job of injecting humor into her characters, but also gives them lots of depth.
I loved Alice and Axel's story because it told of a strong woman who meets the perfect guy. It just takes that perfect guy a little while to realize that he can have a relationship with a younger woman, and juggle all that life is throwing at him. Miscommunication and assumptions try to derail these two, but once they realize what they have together, there is no stopping them!
I highly recommend this book if you want a fun holiday story this season!

This book follows 4 couples around Kissing Springs as they follow their hearts and find their HEA. Even though all the stories are set in the same town each story is unique and special. You have a bit of very trope imaginable an enemies to lovers second chance, best friends second chance but still kinda first chance, nerd girl and jock, and a grumpy sunshine single dad love story. My only complaint is the stories secondary characters all have their own stories that are already published or are coming soon and now I have to read like 15 more books to make my literary heart happy!! Loved this collection and it’s the perfect way to kick off the Christmas holiday season. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved all 4 books in this series. But my favorite was Kristin Lee's Secret Santa.
"Honey don't call a man like that nice. A man that rugged and handsome should be dirty in kind of ways", she winks at me, and her lightly wrinkled face glows with Mischief"
This sums up the book. I mean a meet cute of I like your jeans has to be the start of a wonderful romance right? Ali and Axel have the chemistry and playfulness that a couple should have. Do they get their story without any ups and downs or is it all sugar canes and mistletoe kisses?
This is a wonderful story to read curled up on the couch under a blanket. This is a cannot put the book down once you start. Who knew a secret santa would be so fun :)

I love a collection of themed reads by various authors. It lets me read stories from authors who I may want to read more from. I am a huge fan of Zrr Irwin and her contribution was one of my favorites. Meadow is the new mayor of Kissing Springs, who was used and humiliated by her ex. She has a vision of what the town can become. But when her high school love Dillion suddenly appears back in town on a mission by his brother that will ruin Meadow's plans. But they soon realize the feelings they had in HS still exist. Full of steam, some drama, and more a solid read.

Reviewing Single Santa by Zee Irwin but all the stories are so good.
Meadow is the small town girl whose heart has been broken and humiliated by her ex and is now taking over his job as mayor of Kissing Springs. She has visions of what the town can become. Her high school love Dillion suddenly appears back in town with his daughter, who is such a great part of the story, here on a mission by his brother that will ruin Meadows plans.
Ok that is enough of a back story. This is a fun book, with great characters and plenty of heat. Enjoy

Small town magic.
Single Santa by Zee Irwin.
Kissing Spring sounds like a lovely small town. The shared pasts of Meadow and Dillon partnered with the historical family feud meant a bumpy ride. Second chances in all aspects of life -love-business-community really kept this story moving and changing. The more complicated the turmoil, all the more satisfying is the swoon worthy ending. Loved it!.

In Scorching Santa by Ellen Brooks we get a slow burn story of best friends turned enemies that takes a long road to bring Hannah and Hunter back to one another. I love their story even though it makes me sad and it makes me a little angry that they allow no communication and fear stand in their way. The writing is nicely done. The story is good. The small town is filled with characters that are fun and feisty.
