Stalker Santa: A Holiday Romance

by Emma Bray

I’ve been in love with Zoe London from the moment I first set eyes on her. My obsession runs deep—so much so that I have her dorm room bugged.

And that’s why I know I have to become Santa Claus. When she agrees to sit on a Santa Claus’s lap and have her picture taken as part of a bet, there’s no way I’m going to let some other man have the job.

I might be a stalker, but I’m also going to be Santa this year, and I’ll give my princess anything she wants.

*+:｡.｡It's been like a year since I've read an EB novella and they're still as chaotic and goofy as I remember 😭 ｡.｡:+*

What a fast paced, wild ride!

This story was quick but I enjoyed every second of it. Zoe is in college. Alex has a secret. What will Zoe do when she finds out the truth?! I’m not giving it away, you’ll have to read this fast paced stalk3r romance.

This is an extremely short read. I gave this two stars only because one stars are reserved for DNF. Had this been any longer there’s a good chance it would have made the DNF cut. I love instalove, all-in, alpha male romance novels and I’m totally okay with a slightly obsessive H who might love from afar for a time, maybe follow her home to make sure she’s safe, I even love a few where the H has security watching the h until he can claim her. But a H who stalks to the point of bugging apartments and spying for a year, is not romance, it’s creepy af. But besides that, it’s just not well written with clunky dialogue and no real story.

2.5 / Hear me out...this is mostly for my holiday advent calendar reader challenge and I just do not want to read a bunch of Hallmark Movie books wrapped up in giant bows🤣 . It was a quick hot little read, but I cannot in good reader consciousness give it higher than 3 stars being that this is not even 100 pages. Insta-love/stalker/Virgin/Santa/HEA

Short, Steamy and Sweet!

If you like a nice short, steamy read this is for you! The only reason I docked the 1 star is because the holiday itself barely played a part in the romance. I can’t say much more without spoilers but I think everyone should give it quick read and enjoy some nice, stalkery sweetness😊

Owing a favour to her best friend/roommate after having a bet with her brother, her stalker becomes her Santa and takes her on a date after one glance and they had sex then she finds out he had been stalking her for a year then she had an accident where he saves her... then they fell in love.

Obsessed ~

A very quick read that hits quite a few feels. Finding that instant, more than lust attraction and then find out he’s been stalking you for a year, but also saves your life. It’s a lot to take, but she chose love.

👀🙈

I don't think I will ever be able to read a normal Christmas again.

This book was a good short read which was full of spice and had no plot besides when he stalked her for a year.

Zoe and Alex

Short and steamy, stalker novella. Alex is OBSESSED with Zoe from the moment he lays eyes on her. He goes to great lengths to prove his love for her. It's short and sweet.

This was a weird one. It wasn’t Chuck Tingle or Siggy Shade weird, but it’s certainly not normal. Smut was good, and if you dislike “girl-abs” and want a cock “the size of your forearm”, this one is for you!

2.5

[Funkypinkpat · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short novella about a stalker who dresses up as Santa just so she'll sit on his knee.
It was cute, red flags and all!

A swoon worthy stalker. Loved it

[Aryanna Tunstall · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a sweet quick holiday romance. It was perfect for the season and a great way to round out my yearly reading goal.

[Alarna · Rating 4 out of 5]

good.:)

Interesting

This was a short, spicy read. I like the added holiday element along with the stalker element. It was a fun read and all is well!!

[Books on Stereo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Stalker Santa is not bad; it's just overall forgettable. Bray tends to write the same romance but with different tropes.

[Michelle Grimison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun, quick little Christmas(ish) stalker romance novella. Only xmasy part was that he dressed up as Santa in order to meet his woman.

Well written and felt like a fully flushed out story, and wasn’t full of unbelievable moments to justify the direction of the plot.

🌶️🌶️/5
2 scenes in the 41 pages, very vanilla, but still good!

[Ally · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m going to give this 4 stars just for what it is, a short stalker “Santa” story. I wish there was a little more something, instead of the FMC just accepting it.

[Danielle Wright-Johnson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was ok.
I guess I gave up on story when the girl was naive. lol

[Stacy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I need an OTT Christmas read and this definitely satisfied the craving. The title says it all.
