A Not So Silent Night

“Take the scenic drive across America,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.

Ok, so no one said it. I’m the one with the bright idea to sightsee on my way home from college.

When one of the biggest storms of the year hits, I end up stuck, waiting it out in a lakeside cabin with the two gorgeous men who rescued me from a snowbank.

Maybe it’s being snowed in, but the way they look at me, I’m certain I’ll be receiving much more than I wished for this Christmas.

*This republished edition contains an extra 2500 words, including the bonus spicy scene involving tow straps!

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Omg I inhaled this smutty holiday novella. JL has done it again. The book is mostly smut but the back story is cute. Just enough holiday to make it feel like a holiday book but not cheesy. I wish there was a full book that came after this novella. I loved these characters and now I just want a follow up book about what happens to their love story with a proper HEA.

The spicy is 3🌶️s in my opinion. Because it’s a novella it’s short but the book is full of hot scenes. Definitely have your batteries charged and spare panties ready. 😉💦 Kris & Nick will make you want to move to Coal’s Lake to get snowed in and plowed. 😏


Holiday smutty novella, strangers to lovers, MFM, forced proximity, Three POV, Anal, degradation, edging, DP, piercings.

This was such a cute spicy snowed on novella!! With a cozy cabin and two hot and spicy men who know how to worship a woman and take care of her outside of sexy time. I love that Olivia had no problem allowing these men to worship her body and make her feel good and it didn’t take her long to realize there was something more between them than just lust. Such a great read!!!

Making me want to get stranded in a snowstorm, and picked up by a tow truck!! Shhhh..
This may be short, but it left me wanting so much more! Kris was so gentle and kind, while Nick was the demeaning *pierced* officer we didn’t know we needed. Olivia (or Olive as Kris so graciously named her) was the icing on the cake, and such a go with the flow yet confident. I love her. Kris and Nick were not only completely adorable and the perfect nod to Christmas stories, but the Grumpy-Sunshine absolutely did it for me. The spice in this short novella gave me a Not so Silent Night!! Thank you J.L. For bringing us more delicious Men and another incredible women to drool over!!

Driving through town to get to her moms for Christmas, the snowstorm coming in hot and her car decided to blow a tire and leave her stranded. Good thing Kris Kringle’s towing is making their rounds for the night and finds her before she freezes to death.

A FAST paced NOVELLA. This book isn't going to be about story development and getting the to know the characters. I mean we get to know parts of them. Super fun quick read. I loved this story. Perfect for the holidays.

SO good

Finished this little holiday collection off with quite the bang! This little ménage story was so fun and FILTHY. The things we got in such little pages was chef’s kiss. We didn’t get to know the characters much which honestly was fine by me considering how well they got to know eachother’s bodies!

JL Quick has done it again!! I swear she can write the dirtiest, sexiest, all around hottest words and literally that’s just the dedication!! This one was a perfectly smutty Christmas novella that shows us what happens when a one night thing goes perfectly right! These men, Kris and Nick, are literally the hottest men and Olivia is definitely a lucky woman to get snowed in with them!! Can not wait for the next book JL writes!

Join Olivia, a young woman embarking on a treacherous holiday journey, only to find herself stranded in the frigid embrace of a blizzard. Just when she's on the brink of becoming a human popsicle, salvation swoops in, but not in the way you'd expect. Kris Kringle Towing comes to her rescue, introducing her to a wild and frosty adventure.

With no alternative but to hunker down for the night, Olivia takes the plunge and agrees to spend her evening at Kris and his charming roommate Nick's cozy cabin. What unfolds is a whirlwind of steamy encounters and a smutty, why-choose Christmas-themed novella that'll have you fanning yourself while singing "Jingle Bells."

If you've been a JL Quick devotee or simply crave a dash of holiday heat in your reading, "A Not So Silent Night" is the sizzling winter read you didn't know you needed. Don't wait for Santa – treat yourself to this playful and spicy yuletide delight that's sure to leave you roasting chestnuts and giggling with delight.

In case you are not familiar with JL Quick’s writing, I am here to tell you, you should be. You can start with this sinfully, decadent morsel to start your addiction. The charismatic men and powerful women she continually creates and the worlds they evolve in are all perfection time after time.
A Not So Silent Night is a fantastic sizzling hot holiday novella. Composed of why choose, forced proximity and many panty melting escapades between our naughty and nice roommate MMCs and our outwardly demure FMC with a kinky side she already had just waiting to be released. This snowed in affair is thigh clenching goodness as only JL can write. But, it also has plenty of sweet tender moments to allow you to catch your breath and change your undies. This is holiday novella is like a lifetime/hallmark story with a super hot spicy kinky kick and I love it.

On the twelfth day of Smutmas, J.L. gave to me…
Two fine ass men, a beautiful woman, snowed into a beautiful cabin. I mean, what else could I even ask for?
This spicy novella was everything I was hoping it would be and more. The ending actually surprised me but I’m all for happy endings 😏
Olivia is a long way from home, and her unintended destination of being stranded during a snowstorm threatens her Christmas plans. But what better way to make up for all of that than two helpful, gorgeous men who offer to help her out of the cold?
Smut so hot, it’ll melt that snow and leave y’all in a puddle 😜

Make sure to check out this Smutmas novella, along with the eleven others from incredible authors!

Pure smut, no plot.

Would've liked to at least know something about any of the characters. All it says is that Nick is a police officer, Kris is a mechanic.

Definitely would've loved to see ⚔️ if the men didn't see each other as brothers. Glad they didn't though as they said they feel like brothers.

Kris cooking when she gets there is completely abandoned once he sets her on the counter. They both fuck her and stuff but then they take her to bed to sleep as if they completely forgot there was food cooking.

Also if it's been a while since Olivia had anal it would've made sense to at least prep her or ask if she's okay? Instead Nick does it anyway while her pussy is already preoccupied with Kris.

This very spicy Novella was amazing! Poor Olivia is stranded on the roadside when she is picked up by two knights in shining armour - Kris and Nick (yes, you read that right!!). These two are the epitome of naughty and nice!! The spice is epic and although there isn’t much plot (who needs plot?!) there are some really sweet and cute moments. I particularly loved the morning pancakes scene and the banter/ miscommunication when Olivia thinks the guys are actually a couple 😂. I loved how the guys perfectly complement each other and Olivia - making the perfect throuple!!

Definitely recommend for a fun, holiday read!

Holy smokes what a hot holiday read!

Author J.l. Quick has this incredible talent of writing these men that are walking gods with the filthiest mouths.

And I am here for it!

The FMC is a total sweetheart that finds herself sandwiched between two of the hottest men on the mountain!

The MMC’s are both walking gods, but even better they both have their sights set on the FMC they found stranded on the side of the road!

There’s absolutely nothing frigid about their chemistry….

They will have you fanning yourself from all the heat!

This trio will have you hoping that this is so much more than one no so silent night!

Loved this short novella

First of all…I like the use of ratchet straps. I will never look at them the same when someone grabs them and says, “that isn’t going anywhere.” This was short and spicy. It has a bit of plot and lots of spice. These two men are hot hot hot. Nick has the dirtiest mouth of the two and likes to degrade while Kris likes to praise. Olivia gets the best of both worlds with these two. This book gave me the warm cozy vibes and also brought the heat with all the spice. It was fun and short and a great way to add more reads to my end of year books read list. I love JL Quick’s writing, so far I have yet to be disappointed by anything she has written.

Naughty and Nice

This was a saucy read! Nick Saint and Kris Kringle bring the heat when Olivia finds herself stranded in a small town with these hot friends. They are the perfect pair for Olivia, bringing her the naughty (Nick) and nice (Kris). The spice was super hot and added in lots of my fave extra tropes (hello ladder!!). This novella is pretty much all smūt but does have some sweet moments in the plot. I would definitely recommend for a quick, holiday read where you want the dirty hallmark version!!

Fun, Quick and Full of Š/ mut

I decided to squeeze in one final Christmas novella as the year ends. JL Quick's "A Not So Silent Night" was perfect—part of the Twelve Days of Smutmas collection. JL takes readers on a 96-page MFM holiday.

It just so happens that Olivia is stranded with two hot guys, coincidently named Nick Saint and Kris Kringle. Nick and Kris take her back to their cabin, and they have some s/ mutty fun getting to know her.

"A Not So Silent Night" was fun, quick, and full of s/ mut—a perfect way to end the year.

If you were someone that is an avid reader of JL Quick novels, would you know what to expect when she announces she’s writing a Christmas novella?

Yeah, me either. 😂 But what we got was JL’s exquisite spicy scenes with a little sugar sprinkled in there.

This little MMF is packed with all the good stuff, cute little jokes and banter, a woman in distress, two fine gentlemen there to cater to her needs. 10/10 completely recommend.

Loved this short, spicy novella!

Olivia gets stranded in a snowy town, until she’s rescued by none other than Kris Kringle’s tow! And officer Nick Saint! They decide to take her back to their cabin as it’s closer and there’s nowhere in town for her to wait out the storm.

Then the fun begins, spicy scene after spicy scene! They have their wicked way with her. Until she has to leave. But does she?

I need a Christmas like this

There is not a lot of plot but spice it is not lacking!. Anything JL Quick writes I'm going to read. This little Christmas story was just what I needed to kick off the Christmas spirit! I would love to be stranded on the side of the rode if Kris and Nick would rescue me.

just what I needed

To say this was hot 🥵 af it was hot af like uffffff

I really need to stop reading this when I’m on my break at work but alas it was fun.

I wouldn’t mind being stranded on a snowstorm and be saved by them just saying. One sweet and reassuring the other one hard and demanding. A girl can only comply so much.

Definitely a good start to the holiday season

Two for One Christmas Special

If you enjoy holiday themes during this time of year but also enjoy unhinged handsome men. This book is definitely for you.

Nick, Chris and Olivia are the stars of this fast paced novel where a patch of ice leads to a happy ever after that I truly enjoyed.
