Little Miss Santa Claws: A Sapphic Monster Romance
Ms. Mistletoe Claus is making Christmas Eve deliveries for the first time since her father passed away and her older brother fled the North Pole (and his Claus birthright). When Missy makes a delivery to the wrong house, she meets Nicole Strobe, a nearly-divorced workaholic who is nowhere close to a true believer. When the reindeer take off with the sleigh and leave Missy stranded, only Nicole can help her save Christmas—but that will require from them the courage to believe in one another and, more importantly, themselves.

4 stars. There was a candy cane shaped sex toy used and Santa's daughter Missy has a bit of a dominant streak. I-

Nicole was such a grump with a reactive temper and severe loneliness. So naturally, she had to help with saving Christmas with Santa. Missy also had quite the temper, though she hid it behind pretty smiles and a generally kind demeanor. Their chemistry was hot from the first moment and the story was very much instalove. It was sweet, mostly fluffy, and had feel good vibes. Also, a unique take on the Santa myth.
Spice: 2/5
Triggers: familial estrangement, inebriation, emesis, grief from death of loved one (death off page), references to cheating (past relationship), in peril of falling from great height

“Be a good girl, Nicole. Let the love in, and when you’re finally full again, give it to someone else.”
3.5 stars. I'm pretty pleasantly surprised that I'm ending on such a high rating for this, because for a while there, it did not look good. This is a Christmas/monster romance between Santa's daughter (who's also a krampus shifter...?) and a grinchy divorcee who's lost her holiday spirit. They meet when Missy accidentally ends up at Nicole's house to deliver a present on Christmas Eve; Nicole, who was very firmly on the naughty list. There are some hijinks, and Nicole ends up helping Missy make all of her deliveries for Christmas, and then travels to the North Pole with her. The premise is cute, but there's a lot about this that I just find kiiiinda cringey? The whole Santa lore with the elves and the North Pole being a different planet and the Krampus thing just seemed silly to me. I already can't take it seriously when in werewolf/vampire books the characters talk about 'my wolf' or 'my vampire' to refer to their supernatural side. "My krampus' is even worse. I usually LOVE a good pun, but all of Missy's Christmassy replacement curses or whatever just made me cringe. A little elfin' respect? Holly-knows-where? Gobdrops and fruitcake? Oh boy. I know, it's part of the whole Christmassy gimmick, it's on brand, it's on theme, it's supposed to be cute. But it was just too CUTESY, and I hated it. There were lots of little typos and errors also, things that kept tripping me up.
But IDK... I guess the romance kinda saved this for me! I didn't care for it much at first, especially since the jokes weren't landing very well. But in the latter half when they were at the North Pole and had time for some more meaningful conversations, I started really liking them. I mean, this is pretty short, and there wasn't a lot of time to add much depth to the relationship. But I really liked the chemistry that the author WAS able to establish, even though most of the story took place in one night. I liked them opening up about their family traumas, and the little subplot with Nicole's sister got more page time than I was expecting. I appreciated it! And it didn't hurt that Missy and Nicole were really hot. Whew. I really liked the ending, and I wish that little epistolary period had been even longer. By the time their HEA came around, I was just smiling so hard.
So, the rating feels a little generous, given how apathetic I was about the first half. But whatever, it's Christmas! Being generous is on theme. I'm glad I took the time to try this.
Everything means more to a healing heart. Every touch. Every laugh. Every kiss.
It is a privilege to love.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if it's me, not the books 😅 this was so boring. The heroine goes from grumpy grinch to in love in a few glossed over hours. All the characters were so bland I never cared about a single one of them 🤷🏼♀️

This was perfect???! I was not expecting that lmao the fmc’s were so goddamn cute together, from the way they meet to the way the book ends—I’m so happy I picked this up!

Rtc so cute 😍

I honestly wanted this to be smuttier instead of having only 2 scenes at the very end

A cute Christmas novel, if Santa was a dominant woman who told you to get on your knees and beg to get off the naughty list.

OK fine, this is the kind of monster romance that made me less of a Scrooge.
This is a quick, festive, sapphic monster-adjacent romance that’s equal parts cozy, spicy, and also has some emotional depth and imperfect characters. Missy Claus, stepping into a role shaped by her grief and her father's legacy, immediately felt more layered than I expected for a novella. Nicole, meanwhile, is very much in her burnt-out, emotionally exhausted era, and I appreciated how prickly and closed-off she was allowed to be.
Even with the limited page count, both women felt like real people carrying real baggage. The first half is a little heavier on setup and holiday vibes than I personally preferred, but once the story shifts and the emotional conversations deepen, everything clicked. I especially loved the latter half.
I did go in expecting something a bit more overtly monstrous and a bit less sweet-and-sparkly, so that adjustment took a minute. The warmth managed to win me over. The chemistry is there, the attraction feels earned, and the spice absolutely does not disappoint. For a story that largely unfolds over a very short span of time, the connection still felt believable, which is no small feat.
Beka Westrup continues to be fantastic at writing characters with depth even when they’re saving Christmas.

3.5⭐️ 4🌶️ this was a slow start but picked up on the second half. it was a much sweeter story than i was expecting, which was all smut and no plot lmao but i’m not complaining. for a novella this had a good plot to smut ratio. i love christmas novellas cause they really be having me want to believe in santa (childish i know but i am a 28 year old child to be fair 😂)

Thanks so much to the author for the opportunity to beta read this gem!
If you walked up to me on the street and told me you had a Christmas monster romance for me to read I’d be around the next corner faster than you could finish speaking. But when Beka asked? I said say less queen I’ll read anything you write.
This one was no exception. I loved the cutesy Christmas vibes mixed with the steamy romance and harrowing quest to save Christmas. Watching Nicole learn that love is not bitter or conditional was so raw and real, and I loved that it all centered around saving Christmas.
I think in such a short read both characters are so well fleshed out. Things are set on edge right from the start and we just jump in, but it all felt so natural. Did I mention they destroy a frat house? 5 stars just for that honestly. lol
If you’re looking for the perfect holiday novella, I’d recommend this one!

In the aftermath of her divorce Nicole Strobe has given up on joy. She's feeling bitter and frustrated about spending her first holiday season alone. As a result, she’s been engaging in self-sabotaging behaviour.
Since her father passed away, Mistletoe Claus has taken over the family business. This is her first Christmas delivering gifts without him. She's been making mistake after mistake all night and the stress is getting to her.
Nicole can’t believe her eyes when Missy breaks into her house. When the reindeer take off unexpectedly, the two come to a deal to track them down. As they spend time together, they start to wonder if the cure to loneliness is in each other.

'Little Miss Santa Claws' is an amusing and eventful Christmas novella. I expected this to be a comedy, but at times it almost becomes a dark romance. Given that it's a monster story, it does a good job of finding a balance between the two. The main characters have a lot of chemistry and that translates into a couple of steamy scenes.
Nicole could be a little too childish—even for someone going through a hard time. But I liked the way she and Missy bond over the grief they’ve experienced in the last twelve months. It leaves room for some character development and relationship building.
Most of this book takes place across a forty-eight-hour period. That tended to work to its detriment because their emotions are heightened so quickly that it’s hard to follow. But the fast pacing was also a strength that makes the plot move quickly.

Book Review: Little Miss Santa Claws: A Sapphic Monster Romance
By: Beka Westrup
I always love Beka’s books and this one was such a cute Christmas treat! Santa’s daughter Missy is in charge after he passes and spoiler there is a krampus afoot! When she ends up at Nicole’s house by mistake Nicole is very frosty and very grinchy and because of that is on the naughty list obviously! She then helps Missy to deliver all the gifts it was cute! And there were so many cute play on words in this book giving it a truly holiday twist!
I loved that even though this was a fast read Beka still managed to do what she does best and get us in the emotional feels with some deep thoughts and wounds that they work on and slowly start to heal from. And the ending was great tears and swooning like usual!
Definitely add this one to your Christmas list it’s a great little read and so so cute and charming with Beka’s signature spice which is always so nice!
Favorite Quotes:

Nicole is in the middle of a divorce, and she feels terrible. She has returned to her mother’s house just before Christmas, but her mother has plans for Christmas, so leaves Nicole home alone. Christmas Eve she encounters Missy, who has taken over as Santa after the recent sudden death of her father.
Straight away, this is a weird book 😝 but beautiful. It starts a bit depressive, with Nicole totally in her own mind, but gets so much better. It is a very adult version of many Santa stories; a journey in the sleigh, trips down chimneys, an attempted tampering with the sleigh, drunken partying, and some very steamy scenes. Over a period of fourty-eight hours, the women grow together and fall in love.
One paragraph really hit me because of its depth and thought: “The resurrection of a heart after unspeakable loss… is the truest, most powerful magic in this universe. Everything means more to a healing heart. Every touch. Every laugh. Every kiss. It is a privilege to love.”
There are minor editing issues with the book, but nothing should take away from the warmth and beauty of this story. A real feel good seasonal story.

I've been looking for more Sapphic holiday romances and this fit the bill! It was so fun and sweet and spicy and I loved it.
Missy (Santa's daughter) has taken over for him after his untimely death. And she's struggling.
She meets Nicole who is a hot mess after her divorce on Christmas night while delivering presents.
Nicole agrees to help Missy deliver presents and the two get close. It's got a mix of grief and family issues and expectations and acceptance and goodness and for a novella had a lot of great deeper themes throughout.
It's also spicy, though a bit of a slow burn to get to it. The payoff was very worth it.

Nicole’s Christmas goes from miserable to magical when Missy Santa Claus appears in her house by mistake. The chaos, magic, and romance that ensues changes her life, but will she let it change her heart too?
Little Miss Santa Claws is an epic adventure of a sapphic romance with an enchanting blend of magic, danger, steam, and emotional depth. Nicole and Missy are each authentic characters in their own ways, and the surprising connection that grows between them is almost mystical yet believable at the same time. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the world of flying reindeer, shapeshifter elves, and faraway Christmas realms, but none of that detracts from the beauty and emotion of the romance or Missy and Nicole’s individual character trajectories.
For fans of romantasy, Little Miss Santa Claws deserves a place of honor on a favorite holiday reading list.

This was such a cute little story! It's definitely what I needed to get into the Christmas spirit.
A perfect sapphic romance where Missy Claus, aka Santa, helps Nicole, a jaded grump, to not only relive the magic of Christmas, but to heal herself and allow her to let love in once again.
Does this count as a slow burner? Perhaps not, but the spicy stuff doesn't happen until quite close to the end of the story. It's definitely worth the wait!
I really enjoyed this, definitely put this on your winter reading list!

I’m about to have a one-night stand…with Santa.
Beka Westrup NEVER misses. Even in a 184 page holiday novella where Santa is a chaos goblin of a half elf half woman who gets so drunk at a frat party she can’t pass out presents so this grumpy sad girl has to tag along and take over, I’m thinking about complex topics like grief, familial trauma, corporate burnout, relationship failure and settling. She’s a fantastic writer who always has something important to say, and she says it with beautiful prose and immersive worlds… that just so happens to have back breaking smut. This lil sapphic story is the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit. 10/10 would recommend.

If you need a cute little christmas read this is it. And it’s not just cute. It’s also spicy and magical.
I must say that the name of one of the FMC’s is great. No bias at all 🫣
Loved this Christmas story. Loved having a girl Santa. Mixing Krampus in as ANOTHER sode of Missy? Genius. And making them all Elves from another planet? Loved that so much too.
Is it bad that I want more of Jack Frost? Probably. But hey.
There was one part that I didn’t expect to legit get choked up when I read it. The camera part, Beka?! With restored photos? My throat started burning.
Anyway make your Decembers better and read this.

I quite enjoyed this sapphic holiday romance. My favorite part was hands down the mash up of Santa and Krampus. When Miss Claus gets worked up her Krampus side comes out 🙌 The story is magical realism with Santa being a female, who took over for her father, as Santa and the human she finds herself working with to finish her Christmas duties. The story is sweet, with a good dose of emotion, and a good amount of delicious steam once their work is done.
Santa kisses the soft skin beneath my ear and whispers, " The naughty list is wrong about you , precious. You're such a good, good girl."

I enjoyed this thoroughly although I'm biased- I love this author and I love me some sapphic fiction.
This was short and sweet - as it should be! I think any longer and this would have bored me because this is a typical Santa story. Santa has some mishaps and needs help to save Christmas so the struggling negative Nancy character has a chance to redeem themselves and grow.
BUT I ate it up anyway. And the writing was on point as always with quite a few memorable quotes.
Read it.

I absolutely adore this sapphic novella, and the way Beka writes. Nicole is dealing with a divorce and the fact that she distanced herself from her family when Missy shows up trying to deliver a present (because she’s Santa, duh). After the reindeer take off without Missy though, Nicole has to help her find them and get her deliveries back on track. Now if only she can ignore how gorgeous Santa is, that’d be great.
This was such a short, sweet read with some A+ spicy scenes. It also kind of ripped my heart out, but it does have a happy ending so it all worked out haha.

What's Christmastime without a little monster romance?! Little Miss Santa Claws is a cute, fun, quick holiday read. I quite enjoyed it. This novella contains two characters points of view. We have our newly appointed Santa, Missy, and as the title hints, this Santa has claws! Well, sometimes anyway. There's another side to her, her Krampus side. And then there's Nicole, our non-believer, naughty lister, who joins Missy (Santa) to save Christmas. I liked getting to know the two of them and I loved watching the sparks fly! So happy I gave this one a read.
