Christmas Craving: A Sapphic Romance
She has everything under control -- until she gets tangled up with a dog walker!
Celia is a high-powered attorney with a no nonsense reputation, an addiction to work, and absolutely no interest in Christmas cheer or romantic entanglements. She’s an Ice Queen who prefers structure and solitude, other than her secret visits to Seattle’s women-only BDSM club.
Lanie is a struggling social worker with a stubborn streak, a soft heart for animals, and an abiding love for everything Christmas. When she accidentally gets tangled in a rambunctious dog’s leash, she ends up face to face with the city’s most intimidating woman -- and she likes what she sees. Enough that she’s willing to explore something she’s never done a relationship with an older woman.
Lanie is sunshine, chaos, and hope wrapped up in a cheerful holiday sweater. Celia is grumpy, disciplined, and cool control in designer heels. But when the fire between them burns out of control, they’ll both have to decide if this is just a holiday fling, or the start of something that looks a lot like love?
This book is part of the Surrender for the Holidays instalove lesbian romance series, set in Reba Bale’s Club Surrender world. Each book is a fun and steamy WLW standalone with matchmaking dommes, loving sapphic relationships, and a sweet holiday happily ever after.

3 stars. A very cute and typical Christmas romance. We have the grumpy Ice Queen Domme who hates Christmas and the sunshine sub who changes her for the better or whatever. This was cute but ultimately forgettable.

Laine was singing off tune Christmas songs until the neighbor Celia next door came knocking.
Laine was dog sitting at her former roommate condo until the knock on the door of a very angry neighbor. Ceila like to be in control at all times, no matter the circumstances or so she thought. Laine got her furniture from the roadside or hand me downs, she did not mind, maybe a little. The two ladies were opposites, should never have been able to be together. That was not controlling the situation! Not until the magic of Christmas intervened! Enjoy!

This is classic Reba Bale, very hot and sweet where it needs to be!
Reba Bale can make a cucumber cum! I swear she has talent where many others will leave me cold. Her stories tend to be short and sweet, this one set at Christmas is a prime example of good writing and hot sex! I wish I was twenty years younger!

Spicy Christmas
A delightful spicy Sapphic Christmas romance. Reading about Lanie and Celia’s love at first sight romance was sugary sweet. It was spicy enough to make the naughty list.

Quick, Fun, & Erotic
This is a great two hour escape into a fun and erotic world. Love at first sight shakes up two seemingly opposite types but they find that love is irresistible. How they navigate their lives and emotions is the thread of this Christmas novella. Loved it.

hilarious that they simply fell in love in like 2 days. story was too short for the amount of details; club surrender was an entirely useless plot piece

Pues no hay mucho que decir, no diria que es mala solo es :rápida, ligera, sexual y sin mucha profundidad , Sobre todo, olvidable.
