A Very Stalker Christmas: A Spicy Holiday Novella

Spicy Holiday #1

by Layla Fae

My neighbor believes in Christmas magic. That’s because someone takes out her trash, does her dishes and laundry, clears snow from her driveway, and puts up Christmas decorations in her house.

She has no idea it’s me, her stalker neighbor who watches her every move. Seeing only the good around her, she fails to notice I also steal her panties and curtains. She doesn’t know I’m in her bedroom every night.

What I do is for her protection as much as for my pleasure. Emma loves to help, often bringing sick or lost animals into her home. She takes on way too much, sometimes forgetting to care for her own needs. I make sure she has food on her table, gas in her tank, and a safe, salted driveway.

It works out perfectly until she decides to make me her next pet project. I can’t risk being discovered, and even though I want nothing more than to be with her, it’s impossible. War trauma has left me unable to speak unless I wear a mask.

I know for a fact someone as innocent as her will never accept my creepy ways. Nothing, not even the magic of Christmas, will bring us together.

Even though I secretly wish it would.

This is a spicy Christmas novella involving stalking, masks, and toe-curling romance. If you find OTT protective ex-military stalkers hot, this book is for you!

Okay where can I start , this is not Layla Fae’s type of writing style…… usually Layla writes Sci-fi romance novels, So this is her 1st Attempt in writing a spicy holiday novella….. Honestly I hope she writes one every Christmas….. but hey that’s just my opinion…. So, with that said let’s be honest you know that if you’ve read any of this author’s books that this is not going to be a typical cute Christmas romance




Logan and Emma’s story

Logan is an ex-military with (PTSD), They sent him home after a mission went wrong. He was the only one who survived. Now he is mute because of the trauma.




Emma is simply so incapable of seeing the evil and darkness in the world, she is one of those type of people that has a tendency of bringing home stray animals along with homeless people, the woman just has a big heart….it hasn’t even crossed her mind that her neighbor might be breaking into her place every night to sniff her panties and fantasize about doing vile things to her while she sleeps.


I don’t know about you, I know that it might sound odd that You come home from work to a completely spotless house or the fact that this same person leaves you little gifts here and there in your house…. And I am guessing maybe its not so bad that same person goes groceries shopping for you….. am I insane? Too kind… or trusting ….So, I don’t know maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to find me a Logan

I'll have one mute, blond stalker, please.

Emma is like a cute, helpful fairy who likes joy and brings happiness to anyone she's a saint. She tries to see the good in ppls and not that bad. That's what made Logan fall for her. He wants to protect her from kinda herself from the world since he was ex miliarty and seen the harshness in the world and knowing Emma is too pure he makes sure she's taken care of. From doing her laundry, making sure she has food, the animals she takes in have homes. He's like her own superhero. She questions all these things but thinks it's someone she helped out. Logan is just everything. I loved him and his backstory he was really mute, but like the author said, truama Mute.

So we do see him speak and lose control around her when he wears the mask. We do have tiny drama with Emma ex who tries to break them up. But glad Emma stood by her man when he confessed all the things he had done for her.

Mute stalker who's obsessed with making her life easier. Say no more 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

It's fast paced, it's sweet, well written and utterly romantic.
The MMC is a broken ex-military who has survived an atrocious past which resulted in his muteness. Upon coming home, he meets his do-gooder, overly sweet, gorgeous neighbour and immediately our man is OB-SESSED!!!

He does her laundry, cleans her house, brings her groceries and leaves her little gifts.
She thinks it's one of the homeless people she's always picking up and helping.

Her ex comes back to the picture, our beautiful stalker boy is livid, and the rest is history.

I loved Logan, I loved Emma and I really wish this was a lengthy book so their story could take its time to develop gradually.

This is my first time reading this author, I don't think I will do a repeat though as it seems that the rest of her books are totally unhinged.

But this novella was just perfect for my taste. 🩷

AND OFCOURSE IT’S A BR WITH MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND LORI!!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY PARTNER IN READING CRIME 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[Allia Reads (semi hiatus) · Rating 5 out of 5]

So, I read this in one sitting, and it was great. It was very light and entertaining, especially with how Logan stalked Emma and did her chores because he couldn’t handle her home being a mess.🤣

This was exactly what I needed as a palate cleanser, a sweet and spicy christmas novella after reading some dark romance.😌


Safety info:

- No OWD: There is no info about the H’s past, but it has been a long time since he’s been with anyone. He hasn’t been with anyone since he saw the heroine for the first time. He only has eyes for her and no one else.

- The H stalked the heroine for months and broke into her house at night to feel closer to her.🤭

- OMD: The h’s ex boyfriend shows up suddenly and wants another chance with her, but she rejects him because she only has eyes for Logan. It has probably been a year for the heroine since she broke up with her ex.

- No cheating.

- Ends with an HEA.

[Krista · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars since I would probably read this again someday- total catnip for us gals whose love language is acts of service! Where can I get me a Logan, what a great character. Oops married already but what a fantasy to enjoy :)

Total murderous tendencies, we have our morally grey hero and he does it so well:
"The urge to drown Marc comes back, and I suppress it as best I can."

Funny, light-hearted, he falls first and hot hot hot. Heroine is a bit of a Mary-Sue but that didn't bother me since she was so accepting of Logan and his issues.

Really fun holiday novella!

[Sonia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need me this stalker

Ummm… excuse me? You’re telling me this stalker cleans, does laundry, mows the lawn, fills up gas tanks, leaves warm caps when it’s cold AND other random gifts?? 👀

Yeah. I’m gonna need this stalker 🤷‍♀️. Move over Emma, cause your stalker is about to get SNATCHED 👏🏻

Although this is probably closer to a 4.5 stars, I needed this light-hearted stalkery romance ❤️ my moody reading gave it all the stars 😮‍💨. Plus. Why did Christmas come and go so fast? 😭 I still wanna be on vacation 😭😭😭.

Logan (no age give for either MC) has been watching Emma for over six months now, ever since he moved in across the street, and he’s OBSESSED 🫠. As soon as he saw her, he knew she was the one for him 👏🏻. His job gives him the freedom to check in on her at all times 😅 (he steals cryptocurrency 😅) and it’s very easy considering he has cameras all around her 👀.

Emma is a sweet, kind-hearted soul. She rescues animals and people, so her philanthropic heart can’t help but want to help her recluse of a neighbor 😅, especially when she finds out he doesn’t talk because of the military trauma he suffered. ☹️.

So when she shows up at his place, he panics 🤣. She just wants to get to know him and help him in whatever way she can ❤️.

Little does she know that he knows her better than she knows herself 😈.

What I liked/loved: possible spoilers
—ALL THE CHORES he does for her 👏🏻. Seriously Emma. If you don’t want him, I’ll take him girl 👀

—even though he’s a stalker, he’s a sweet one 🥹. I mean. This man wants to be a cat so that she can pet him 🤣. He’s so cuuuuute ❤️

—how JP he is 😈. I love me some good OMD and this has it 😮‍💨. Logan basically has violent JP thoughts 🤣

—he cuddles her when she doesn’t know 🥹. I know I know. This can be cringey. But hear me out… he makes her she feels safe ya know 🤷‍♀️. Plus. You never know if any psychotic men out there are ever gonna sneak into your room. It’s better to be protected 🤷‍♀️

—he cooks 👏🏻. This man is perfection 😅😮‍💨

—the 🔥. Of course my man Logan is gonna take care of Emma 😉 I’d expect no less 💁‍♀️

—the CNC role play scene 🔥. OH LAWD 😮‍💨🫠🤤 this was 🥵

—he calls her baby 🫶

—there are pictures in here!!!! All books should have pictures 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

—how accepting of trauma Emma is ❤️

—the epilogue 🥹

What I needed more of:
—for it to be longer 😭

—whatever happened to her ex? 😅

—a longer epilogue

Overall, I loooved this!

Zaten ciddiye alarak okuduğum bir kitap değildi ama, Emma'nın aptallığı beni hepten sinir etti.
Logan bile diyor ki, bak bu benim yaptıklarım normal değil.Bizim safımız da "Ay o sen miydin? Çok rahatladım." diyor. Deli ya!

[Kimmylongtime · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novella made me swoon so hard !! Stalking, veterans, who clean your home and cook sounds like a dream come true. Logan loves our homegirl Emma with a firey passion that ignites the moment they finally get to have a conversation with each other. Emma thinks she has a magical fairy coming to her home doing all these things.
Literally, taking out garbage, mowing, shoveling snow, cleaning the house, going grocery shopping. This guy honestly seem to have a steady stream of income and the boom!! Emma’ demands more so he confesses and then they really get to live !!

When he admits he is doing shady things !!

“The rigid lines of his muscles, his entire body tense until he finally lets go with a stifled sigh. I would give so much to see it.His breath catches. “Fuck. Don’t make that face. You should be disgusted.”“Well, I’m not.”

Yesssss 🥰😍


“But Logan shakes his head. “I don’t go to pubs. Too chaotic.”I’ve already realized his problems go much deeper than his mutism. As soon as he said his mom’s house would be too wild and out of control at Christmas, my heart squeezed painfully. ”

This was hot. And also adorable, which is a very fine line to walk. Especially when a stalker this involved is in play.
But this totally worked for me.

3.25✨ (rounded to 3 for GR)
2🌶️

Chances are, if Layla Fae writes it, I’ll read it. I may not always LOVE it, like say Guarded by the Snake or Guarded by the Phantom, but I’ll usually read it.

And I didn’t love this one.

It had Fae’s signature campiness, but because she was writing about plain old humans versus monsters, that element of suspension of disbelief isn’t there, at least for me. FMC was definitely a Manic Pixie Dream girl™️ type, and even in its quirkiness, it ended up feeling one-note. MMC was fine but some of his choices made me LOL.

Overall I had fun, and it was definitely a unique read on my holiday tbr!

(Descriptions found at end of my review)

Should I read in order?
I think this is a stand alone novella.

Basic plot:
Emma knows she has someone helping her – leaving things she needs, shoveling her driveway, and taking out her garbage….but she has no idea it’s her quiet neighbor

Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary romance
- small town setting – Frosty Springs (come onnnnn so cute)
- you’re okay with some dubious elements – like the title says the hero is a stalker and goes into the heroine’s house and does things with her consent or knowledge…
- heroine loves animals, and fosters and rescues animals she finds (she has cats, dogs, rats, rabbit, and guinea pigs)
- size difference and his height is overwhelming. I’m quite short, so I’m used to people being taller than me, but he’s positively a tower of a man.
- he makes her tea
- celibate hero
- hero has traumatic mutism
- mask play
- medium steam – 2 full scenes within a shorter page count (plus a shorter scene I decided not to count as ‘full’)

Ages:
- didn’t catch them

First line:
I press the binoculars to my face, honing in on the pet carrier in Emma’s hand.

My thoughts:
I’m wondering if this heroine is an ADHD rep? At least….I could totally relate to this heroine and have similar struggles haha. I need a Logan in my life 😂 Take care of everything I am forgetting…

I enjoyed this book! It was so surprisingly sweet to me. And I loved the ‘dark’ stalker aspect without really being dark. Being a novella, it’s short, and I really wanted a bit more from it. I was really enjoying myself and wanted a few more scenes. It ended rather fast!

One thing I found I’m not into… Spitting in the mouth 😂

Few random reading stats for this author
# of books read: 6

Quotes

Okay. I am swooning for this stalker. Can I have one? I hate doing this shit. lol

Like the last time I gassed up Emma’s car. I take a look at my notes to check when it was. Her tank should be at least half-full, but it won’t hurt to get her filled up tonight. I make a note on my to-do list and bring the binoculars back to my eyes.
She is inside now, letting the car out in her kitchen. I watch everything through the pristine, uncovered window that I washed last night to have the best view possible.
---
Emma is not stupid. That’s not it. She’s simply so incapable of seeing the evil and darkness in the world, it hasn’t even crossed her mind that her creep of a neighbor might be breaking into her place every night to sniff her panties and fantasize about doing vile things to her while she sleeps.
---
Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Logan. Would you like to grab dinner together?
That’s what a normal man would say to a woman he wants. But I’m not normal, so I take one last look at my beautiful neighbor, taking in her wide hips, gorgeous tits pushing through that thin sweater, and her thick, long hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun.
That hair would look so good wrapped around my hand.
---



Content warnings: These should be taken as a minimum of what to expect. It’s very possible I have missed some.

- hero is a stalker of the heroine and enters her house without her knowledge or consent, fills her gas tank, leaves her hats, etc


Locations of kisses/intimate scenes, safe sex aspects, consent, pregnancy/child in the story:

Safe sex: Noooo? but I think the heroine is on some kind of birth control? I think the pill
How’s the consent? Oh, well you see the title. If consent is an absolute must for you, maybe forgo this one because the hero does stalk her/watch her and jerk off in her room without consent. But overall the heroine is into it all and consent isn’t an issue
Pregnancy/children in story? (Please note this is the best to my memory/note taking. If you see something I missed please feel free to message!) No children in the story or pregnancy! I feel like it left as a no children in the relationship? But it's not openly a child free HEA
17% - the hero jerks off with her panties he stole while watching her, but it’s fairly short
49% - 🔥 kiss, fingering for her, hero comes in his pants

I want to tell her how beautiful she is. How perfect. That I’ll always protect her and be everything she needs me to be.
But I can’t speak, so I lean over, cradle the back of her head in my trembling hand, and kiss those words into her mouth.

82% - 🔥 the hero breaks into the heroine’s house at night, bj (incomplete), missionary

“That’s enough. Be quiet and listen to the rules.”
///
“You’ll be good for me, won’t you, baby?” I ask, testing her resolve. Will she answer the question and break my rules?

95% - epilogue sex – oral for her but it’s pretty short


Extra stuff like what my review breakdown means, where to find me, and book clubs


Full break down on what my ratings above mean here:
Overall: How I felt about it everything considered!
Readability: How ‘readable’ was the book? Did I fly through it? Did I have to tell myself to pick it back up repeatedly? Were any passages confusing? (I will probably score like (1) is literally unreadable due to formatting/typing errors, etc (2) There were lots of errors that made it difficult to read OR It was extremely confusing and I had to reread passages to make sense of it OR I disliked it so much I had to bribe myself to keep reading (3) I didn’t really want to keep reading and would have preferred to abandon the read and start something else OR some minor continuity issues/confusion (4) I liked it fine, maybe a minor error or 2. I was happy to pick it up when I had time. (5) I never wanted to put this down. I thought about it when I wasn’t reading it. I hid in the bathroom from my kids to read. I threw inappropriate food at my children for dinner so I could read instead.)
Feels: Totally subjective to each person but did the book give me any tingles? Any butterflies? Did it rip my heart out (in a good way?)
Emotional depth: How well do I feel I know the characters at the end? How much did I feel their emotions throughout the story?
Sexual tension: Again, subjective, but how strong was the wanting and longing to me between the characters? A book might have strong sexual tension without a single touch.
Romance: Was there romance? Did romantic things happen? This can be actions/words/thoughts of the characters and again is subjective.
Sensuality: This is how the intimate scenes are written. Kisses and sexual scenes – how sensual were they? Were they on the mechanical side? Was there emotional pull tied in? Were the details explicit or flowery? These are subjective but generally (1) too short to get a good judgement (2) not all what I'm looking for - very vague or flowery prose (3) either not explicit enough or not enough emotional pull (too mechanical/physically descriptive without the emotions) (4) what I love in a scene (5) absolute perfection - perfect balance of emotional longing and explicit descriptions
Sex Scene Length: How long the bedroom scenes are (generally (1) is 1-3 sentences (2) is a few paragraphs to a page-ish (3) is about average, a few pages (4) more well developed scenes, quite a few pages with descriptions (4) the majority of the book takes place in the bedroom. This is always hard to tell for me on audio!
Steam Scale: Generally, each flame is a scene. If scenes are super close together I sometimes combine them. If a scene is super short or so vague I don’t know what’s happening, I don’t count it. There’s some levels of grey but generally the number of flames is how many sex scenes there are (I max out at 5 so I’ll put a + after if there’s more than that)

Christmas stalking!



The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 🖤💙💜❤️💚
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍
Character development: 🙂🥰😎😄

The Hero: Logan - he has a condition called traumatic mutism. Meaning he is mute, and it was caused by trauma, which is often a symptom of PTSD. His tongue freezes in his mouth when he is out in public with his face bare. He has been stalking his neighbor Emma for over six months since he first moved in across the street. He was in the military for years, but since he was injured in a mission that went bad, he got discharged and now he is a hacker who steals cryptocurrency.

The heroine: Emma - she is a bleeding heart, and she is always bringing home sick, injured or lost animals and people in trouble. On the occasions when she can’t save an animal, she cries about each one. She is such a good-hearted person, that it is hard for her to imagine that others aren’t just like her. She works at the library in town and volunteers at a cat shelter in between taking care of the random people and animals she brings home.

The Story: Logan doesn’t just watch Emma through his binoculars, he does things for her, like fills her car up with gas while she is sleeping, puts gifts in her home, like large, scented candles, washes her windows, does chores around her house while she is at work and more. He knows she thinks that it is being done by someone who is shy but has pure motives, if she only knew how impure his thoughts of her were, she would run away screaming.

“Emma is not stupid. That’s not it. She’s simply so incapable of seeing the evil and darkness in the world, it hasn’t even crossed her mind that her creep of a neighbor might be breaking into her place every night to sniff her panties and fantasize about doing vile things to her while she sleeps.”

I love stalker romance, and I love holiday romance so how could I go wrong with this one? The only thing I didn’t like after reading the blurb was the length, I wish it was a novel rather than a novella. At only 105 pages, I didn’t think it would be long enough to really get much of a romance, but it was a full story, and I was happy with it. I always knew that actually having a stalker in real life is much different than stalker romance, but I loved how this one began. I totally wouldn’t mind having a stalker if he cleaned my house, washed my car, shoveled my snow and gave me presents all the time. I mean if you are going to have a stalker, that is certainly the kind to have.

This was a short, fun read even though some of the elements here were hardly believable, but I have to say that the dashing personality of the MMC alongside the sweet naïveté of the main heroine were charming.
I would love to have someone like that, does all my chores and household work without batting an eye, I am all in for a mysterious elf, who does my laundry, tidies up around and keeps the fridge stocked.
Definitely a good story to read with a some festive elements and two tender souls finding each other.

4 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
3 / 5 🌶️
Spicy chapters: 7, 10, 11, 12, Epilogue 🔥

First Person, Dual POV 🙌🏻

Logan (MMC) and Emma (MMC)

Pros:
Short, sweet, and spicy .
He calls her pet 🙈😳, and becomes very dominant in 🛌. Like a lot. 🌶

Cons:
The plot doesn't make a lot of sense realistically. Especially the part where the FMC just laughs when she finds out that the MMC had been stalking her for ages and entering her house uninvited 🤨🤦🏼‍♀️. But ok, whatever.


Final thoughts: This is a short, entertaining, spicy read sprinkled with Christmas cheer.


Happy reading! 📚
