About the author

Hi there! I'm Olivia.
I write romance with billionaire heroes (despite never having met one in person). They're strong, ambitious, they don't need love... until they meet the women who change their minds.

I love witty banter, smart heroines, big cities and perfectly tailored suits. You'll find all four in every one of my books! 💜

[Sally May *✧･ﾟ]

Never met an Olivia Hayle book I didn’t like

[Nikki H. Rose]

If Olivia Hayle writes it, I'll be reading. Throw in a Christmas setting and I devoured these!

These two short stories were a pleasant surprise—definitely important to note that they have not been edited yet, as they were freebies from Olivia and will be reworked, edited, and re-released at a later date most likely (I hope!). If you are someone who is deeply bothered by regular errors, please wait to read these until they get reworked.

THE NOT SO SECRET SANTA

This was amazing and like one of my worst nightmares come to life! An office secret santa party? Gold. Throw in a crush on your boss? Perfection. And the accidental, drunken mistake of slipping naughty photos with suggestive captions into the gift you picked out for your boss? HOT DAMN.

And it's reciprocated. OH BOY IS IT. Seriously...you'll devour this right alongside each of these characters as they act on their underlying pining and wants.


SNOW TIME LIKE THE PRESENT

Snowed in with your ex-boyfriend's older brother whom is both grumpy and ruggedly attractive and who apparent has always had a major crush on you? YES PELASE. SIGN. ME. UP.

I absolutely loved the one-bed, single cabin, keeping each other warm, and acting on desires they can no longer keep to themselves. HOT HOT HOT!

Slay.

I would read whatever Olivia Hayle writes.

Loved both stories, nothing complex or heavy - just a great spicy and lighthearted read. Low stakes, high tension.

Not much else to say. Would read again.

Overall rating: 4/5

Genuinely think Olivia Hayle could turn these characters into a Christmas book series and it would be amazing.
