Christmas Kisses: Two Christmas Ravenshoe Novellas

by Shandi Boyes

Two fun and flirty Christmas novellas from a USA Today Bestselling Author!

*

Single all The Way

Being dumped weeks out from Christmas already sucks, so imagine your fiancé replacing your position with his high school sweetheart while you're snowed in at his family's estate that's meant to host your wedding.

Things couldn't get any worse—so I won't mention the hot chocolate incident, insensitive demand for the return of my engagement ring, or my luggage being stolen mere feet from my apartment when I can finally fly home.

But it's December, the second most romantic month of the year, so things can only go up, right?

Wrong.

After too many drinks to numb the ache, and an unexpected advertisement for a male escOrt company, l decide to gift myself a night of plea$ure instead of wading through a handful of duds to find 'Mr. Do Me Right!’

I'm set for a night of fun until I skip halfway across Ravenshoe before recalling I have no access to the funds needed for my festive night.

Thank goodness good old Saint Nick points me in the right direction. The mysterious stranger is everything I want to find under my tree Christmas morning.

He's gorgeous, flirty, and single all the way... So why does it feel like more than Christmas magic will fuel our union when he offers the services I'm seeking for free?

Home for Christmas

After a grinchy battle to maintain the lease on the only place I’ve ever called home, the last thing I expect four days out from Christmas is an unexpected houseguest.

I get more than I bargained for when a ginger-haired brute answers *my* door, wearing nothing but a towel, a devilish grin, and clutching a recently signed lease agreement.

I assume the mishap is a horrible misunderstanding, and that the brutish Brit will exit stage left with his tail firmly lodged between his legs once I’ve cleared the matter up.

I’m terribly mistaken.

He arrived stateside with intent, and it has nothing to do with bringing me home for Christmas

Thank god my once-favorite Christmas movie exposes exactly how to rid my apartment of an unwanted intruder.

This Christmas ‘ho’ has met his match, and the ruse our union inspires may very well kill him.

Christmas Kisses is two standalone Christmas novellas based in our favorite fictional town.

About the author

Shandi Boyes is a USA Today Bestselling Author who was an avid reader for many years before she discovered the love of writing in February 2016. Her first penned novel 'Perception of Life’ is a new adult rockstar romance that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the very last word.

In September 2016, her focus shifted to hot alpha men in steamy contemporary reads that sizzle off the pages. Shandi’s novel ‘Enigma of Life’ is an award-winning story on an FBI agent and the subject she was assigned to investigate. Her men are swoon-worthy, devoted, and alpha; and her heroines are strong-willed, determined, and loveable. You should start her stories first thing in the morning, or you may not sleep.

You will laugh and you will cry, but Shandi's characters will stay with you for a lifetime!

I had read Single All the Way before, but loved it all over again. If you want a story that will have you believing in the magic of Christmas, this is the one. Zane and Kelsey are made for each other and Santa makes it sure that they are together.

Home for Christmas was a funny sad story that had so many beloved characters in it including Harlow, Isabelle, Isaac, Willow, Elvis and Ryan. I have to admit I had tears at one point it was sad, but then I also had tears of laughter. Angel is also an Angel be nature and Christian is special as well. A wonderful feel good story.

Two novella’s in one!

First novella: 4 ⭐️’s. I enjoyed it more than I thought and I loved the involvement of “charity Santa” at every turn.

Second novella: 3.5 ⭐️’s. It would’ve been a 3 ⭐️ but any time Issac and Izzy show up, I melt. I love them both SO much! Issac’s bossiness and attentiveness and concern is so hot!
Also, I’ll be honest, I did not like Angel and felt her personality was off putting. However, I liked Christian and thought he deserved a better match, but I appreciated the love that developed between them.

Okay Read

I saw a scene from this book on social media and that’s why I chose to read it. It was an okay read for me. I didn’t truly connect with the characters from either story. The scene I was waiting to read was in the second story. I have read this author’s Enigma series, so there was a connection to that.

There is a lot of cute banter and the premise of the story is great. Several laugh out loud moments. BUT it was really hard to follow at times. It felt like the story line was jumping around and parts of it didn’t feel continuous.
I think there was a lot of potential in the book but it ended up letting me down.

[Tammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intriguing story with witty banter, an instant connection, a hidden agenda, untold truths, a sexy British alpha and a very talented down on her luck gentle soul. Mentioned of pasted Ravenshoe characters I highly recommend this book it’s a easy fast read

2 great novellas

Single All the Way is a unique, quirky little story where Santa insists on creating an HEA for the 2 MCs.

Home for Christmas is a more heartfelt story with a tragic past for the FMC and a MMC that's determined to give her a brighter future.

Both amazing reads!

[Deonne Lyness · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two fantastic Christmas stories packed full of humour, romance and spice that are very entertaining.

Two very cute stories. Perfect for a quick, fun holiday read.

Both novellas were cute with the feel good HEA. Single all the way (Zane & Kelsey) & Home For Christmas(Christian & Angel). Easy reads, 3.5 stars for both.
