Being A Boss's Gift For The Holidays : Mia & Dallas
At 27, Mia is a single mother striving to rebuild her life after being devastated by betrayal. Abandoned by the father of her two children, she sacrifices her dreams to provide them with the stability and love they deserve. With every step forward, she carries the scars of her past but refuses to let them define her future.
Dallas, a 30-year-old widower, hides his pain behind a string of hookups and bad decisions. Still grieving the loss of his wife, he juggles fatherhood and his chaotic lifestyle, unsure how to heal while raising his young daughter.
When fate brings Mia and Dallas together in an unexpected encounter, sparks fly despite their guarded hearts. Drawn to each other by shared struggles and a yearning for connection, they find comfort and hope in their blossoming relationship.
But Dallas isn’t being completely honest with Mia about who he really is. As their connection deepens, his secret looms in the background, threatening to shake things up just when it feels like they’re finally getting it right. Once Mia finds out the truth, will the bond they have built be strong enough to get them over the hump, or will Mia put her guard back up and swear off men once and for all? Dive into Aleisha Dawn's newest love story and find out what it's like being a boss's gift for the holidays!

cute holiday read
This was a cute holiday read. Dallas was instantly drawn to Mia and even though he wanted to fight it Mia stayed on his mind. Mia was so thoughtful of Dallas being a single dad, it was cute. I loved the addition of the little ladies and how they built their own little sisterhood.

Sweet and beautiful
This is a sweet and beautiful story. After dealing with betrayal, Mia is closed off to love and friendships. But Tatum showed her what a real friend looks like. But a trip to a costume store really set her up... for the good life, unbeknownst to her. Dallas is a single parent whose heart is shut after the death of his wife. However, fate steps in at the right time, offering him a gift that he didn't realize he was missing. I love that his mom held him accountable for him actions and gave him the truth. When one lie leads to several more, it jeopardizes what Mia and Dallas had been building. But what is meant to be will be.

another to the list
These Insta love got me in a chokehold😭… Kamal and Rachel both should ain’t ISH and that’s all imma say about that🙄. Dallas should have told her the same time she admitted her secret. His mom is really a girls girl cause she was not playing with him. Although wish I got more of the holiday feel I’m glad they both got their HEA. And you already know I’m here for the stepdaddy trope 😌🤏🏾.

One of best romance...
I have read numerous romances lately but this one is on my list of best. No DEI, No politics just good writing. I fell in love with Dallas and Mia. I will be reading more her books if they are written this well. I'm so tired of writers given their world view instead of giving a good storyline. I wish the best for this young lady with many blessings.

This was good short read
I like how Dallas got with Mia and the girls. There used to be a time when's friends did not mess with other people boyfriends and husbands. I guess that's a thing of the past

Mia and Dallas
Kamal was a straight up fool. I never understood why he was so mad at Mia, when he and her ex best friend betrayed her the most? Dallas let the charade go on too long? I thought messy Mariah would have spilled that tea ☕????

I’m on the way to the costume store and Halloween is in 10 months. I love how Dallas let Mia in his life and change his mind on loving again. Signing papers was best thing Kamal could’ve done. Tatum was a friend that any girl should want. I loved this story

Good Read
I enjoyed the book from beginning to end. Oh what a tangled web you weave when you practice to deceive. I'm Dallas case it was more of a hot telling the whole story than trying to deceive so I'm glad it ended in true love.

A Second Chance at love
This was a quick, minimal drama, and enjoyable read. Two single parents finding love, again. Dallas was “I see a need and I’ll provide a solution’ type of man.

Loved it
Mia and Dallas are a cute couple. I am so happy things have turned around for Mai. She has been through a lot and struggled to take care of her daughters. God placed Dallas in her life. Great Read!

I’m glad that Mia let Dallas in to love her like she truly deserved. Kamal was a piece of trash for not taking care of his kids and messing with Mia’s ex best friend. So many men are like that though. Glad Mia and Dallas got their happy ending.

Great read
Super sweet read. It's crazy how the simple things can really alter certain changes in our life. Now, although lying about his true worth, Dallas was a amazing man and father. Kamal was trash and and its sad how he did them girls but they got a better father anyway!

Christmas Romance
I enjoyed this book my favorite Christmas book of 2025 so far. Definitely would recommend. A little drama and some love from two people who have been hurt by love or lost love.

It Was Okay
I can’t say that this book kept my attention and was well written but it lacked in the Christmas feeling.

Liar
This book was so good even though it was based on a lie for the whole book. It was good to see forgiveness as well.

Surprised How Much I Liked It
Holiday books can be very hit or miss, especially when you don't read them during the holiday season. I have been in a bit of a book rut lately- picking only duds, so I decided to try something different from a new author and here I am on this bright Spring day smiling all big and genuinely surprised how much I liked this holiday story. This was an easy read with minimal drama, good editing, and likeable characters, except Kamal and Rachel - they were both trash. But side from them, even Dallas with his lying self, was a good guy and only did what he did as a protective measure. Seeing the lengths he went to for Mia from the very beginning was so sweet, and this story had a very "feel good" quality. I really enjoyed it and most of these characters.
