I hate talking about myself. I'm awkward AF and write super spicy books with twisty plots. Most of my books are dark romance so always check the content warnings!

Okay, this would have been a five-star BUT I was not expecting this to end on a cliffhanger.

There was no indication that it would either. Before someone comes at me and says, "That's what the reviews are for." No, it's not. I don't like spoilers, so I don't read reviews.

And while it was more of a "happy for now" moment, it still bothered me because it stops right when you think you are going into another chapter.

Moving on...

This was all naughty with a touch of nice and that is exactly what I was looking for. I will forever be a Ho! Ho! Ho! for an age-gap and this had that in spades. Not to mention a bit of revenge on your ex with his dad? YES PLEASE! Chelle Rose absolutely delivered on that and more.

Also, the moment with the candy cane? Yeah, that is going on the t0-do list.

OR

Is it me going on the to-do list?

Well, I am far too invested in this book and their story to not continue on, but I will be sure to keep in mind that cliffhangers are a possibility as is ruining your knickers.

Daddy Santa is an ex-boyfriend’s dad, 71-page novella. It’s a big age gap. He’s 53, and he’s always been in love with her. She wants to get revenge because her boyfriend cheated on her. She’s thinking one night with her ex’s dad would do the trick. The shmex scenes are hot, and the HEA is good too.

Wasn’t really a fan of this book. I’m all for daddy’s but this book was just basic and didn’t really go anywhere

Oh Daddy Santa, I've been a naughty girl, Spank me and lick my cookieliscious-Candy cane.

Holy smokes, this book was a 5 star 🌟 read. Not what I was think when I read the title storyline wise, but when I started reading and seen where it was leading I was like HELL YEAH I'm down for this. A spicy 🌶 Christmas 🎄 Naughty Novella and I Devoured it and need more. I need to see where things go, reactions, what happens and what's next to come. A must read for sure, Chelle Rose, Thank you for being an amazing dark spicy romance writer, I can't get enough of your booms, so talented for sure.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 🌶🎅🎄👅🔥

I have one question to ask myself. Why did I wait so long to read this book. Holy smokes, Santa Clause! Chelle Rose, you packed so much jolly cady cane Christmas smut into this short book.

I don't how she does it but she can create some of the craziest lines in this book. One of my favorites was this one:
"I'll eat you cookie, baby. All day and night."
I might use that for my next pickup line.

Oh, and the scence in the living room with the candy cane rod will replay in my head forever. I don't think I can look at a candy cane rod the same way again.

And this is why I love Chelle Rose's books. She is a master of her craft with writing both dark and smut romances. I can't wait for the next book in Christian and Ava's story.

Ok, daddy 🫠

I'm pretty sure there was some plot in here somewhere. But geeeze this was hot!!!

What better way to get revenge on your cheating ex than spending a night with his dad, right?

Except Christian is so devoted! Literally a dream man. Putting all her needs and desires first and just being happy about making HER happy. Who would ever want to leave??

I wish there was more. That's my only complaint. Daddy Santa was fast and exactly what i was in the mood for today. I read this with a smile on face and giggled the whole way through!!

100% recommend if you're in the mood for some daddy k!nk, age gap, obsessively devoted, holidays romance !!!

I wanted a quick and steamy Christmas story and Daddy Santa seemed up my alley. I wanted more from the spicy scenes, but the author did cram a lot in to this quick read. Ava came across as very young, younger then mid twenties. Christian sounds hot. I don’t blame Ava for being dtf. If you’re into age gap where the girl gets with her ex boyfriend’s dad, this might be for you. Just note that it’s a super quick read and though there are a lot of spicy scenes, they aren’t very detailed.

Short but very spicy Holiday-ish novella.
3.75 ⭐️ rounded up to 4 for GR
This felt more like a prequel to what I anticipate will be a longer, deeper story with more plot than this one. However, I still enjoyed this. I saw the potential for more.
It was a bit over the top with all the “Daddy”, but, their budding relationship is spicy and sweet so you get over it.

Looking forward to book 2!

Ava's boyfriend Michael cheats on her with her best friend and she decides on revenge. What better than with his father!
Christian has always wanted Ava and will take her anyway he can get her...even if it is revenge against his son! He is determined to make it forever.
Dirty mouthed Daddy who'll do whatever it takes to make Ava happy.

4 1/2 stars!

This was the perfect smutty novella to really get me into the holiday mood! Ex's dad is quickly becoming one of my favorite tropes.

Chelle did a great job with this book. She even says if you want a plot line, this is not the book for you. It was pure smut and I loved it. The only thing is I wish it was longer.

Daddy Santa is a forbidden romance novella with a significant age-gap. This is the perfect spicy novella to start December with. It is a quick read of mainly spice, but it is very well written, great palate cleanser.

Perfect bedtime read. Ava and Christian are hot together. The chemistry is off the charts. I can’t wait for more from this couple.

If you’re looking for a quickie before bed then I highly recommend this one for you.

«Fucking gorgeous brat.»

«Combining my to favorite flavors, baby.

She glances between the candy and my eyes.»

I mean, it’s 70 pages and 97% smut. But the smut was mostly great, except for her calling him “My Daddy Santa” unironically during smexy time🙂‍↔️ Other than that I’m happy with it, and it was a quick read. Also; using the candy cane on her is crazy🍭

Chelle Rose is a new author to me.

Sometimes revenge can turn into a Happily Ever After. This is an older man/younger woman amorous Christmas novella.

My favorite quotes:

"This is going to hurt him, and I only wanted to hurt Michael. Christian has never been anything but kind to me, and suddenly the expensive gifts he has given me over the past two years make more sense than I’d like them to."

"She’s the kind that grabs onto a man, and suddenly you don’t know how you’ve been able to breathe for so long without her."

"I swear to you, I’ll protect your heart like it is my own. I’m not him, and I’m not any man you’ve ever known other than me."

So sweet, so cute soooo hot!! This book makes you feel all squishy inside, you can really feel how in love Christian is with Ava. I really enjoyed this book, I laughed a lot and found myself gushing over these two.

Hot

If you need a palette cleanser this is the book. It’s nothing but filth and deliciousness. It moves fast and it’s totally unrealistic but was perfect. I love these types of short stories when I’m not feeling a full length one. I loved it!

3 cringe ⭐'s

The amount of times I read "Daddy" in this book (which was very short btw) was one too many.
It was just too cringe and over the top.
If the Daddy trope was taken away I think this would've been a bit more enjoyable.

Daddy Santa will give her anything she wants, needs or desires. But, does she want it all? A super fast read with some pretty funny banter and a lot of spice!
