Festive Seduction

Holiday Engagement #1

Kinky bells, kinky bells, kink all the way!

A playful evening spent with her Dominant was all Jade expected from a snowed-in Christmas Eve. After a year of turmoil, she’s ready for pleasure. But Philip has more in store for his submissive than Christmas light bondage. He’ll push past her limits, and ask for everything.

Jade's family splurge on a very special Christmas every five years. This time they've rented a mansion and outlying cabins.
Jade and Paul are in one of the cabins indulging in a spot of BDSM.
Paul lost a leg in a skiing accident the previous Christmas and this holiday, Jade hopes, will bring them closer.
It does!
"Festive Seduction" is very short (30 pages) and doesn't cover much ground but I've read worse.
2.5 Stars.

Over too fast!

This was a fast hot read that had helped mentally prepare for the possibility of snow in the coming days. Read a little like a BDSM primer but otherwise enjoyable.

so much story in such a little package!! to me that's the sign of an amazing writer! Sidney Bristol has a way of weaving a tale with her words that draw me into that world and guide me through the story and bring me to the other side and leave me with an amazing HEA!
Jade and Philip - what a great combo of 2 strong, scarred, loving characters that are not afraid to show their vulnerabilities to each other and know that the other will always catch them if they fall! and don't forget the HOTNESS that I have come to count on from Ms Bristol... I might have teared up at the end of this one too... maybe...
LOVED IT!!

OMG! *wiping tears* This is the hottest, sweet story that has ever made me cry. What can I say that won’t give the whole thing away? Some HOT kinky sex. *sigh* Then some sweet cuddling. The back-story on this couple . . . *sigh* The ending . . . Here I go tearing up again.

This is a short little read. A nice little holiday story for bedtime. It will send you into happy dreams. Enjoy.

This BDSM Christmas short story is an evening interlude in the relationship between Philip and Jade. Despite it's short length there is great character development and the sense of how the couple has dealt with a traumatic injury that Philip is still recovering from emotionally. Kinky sex abounds, but it's filled with emotion as the couple celebrate Christmas in a decidedly naughty way. An entertaining and steamy read!

This was a wonderful short story about a couple (Jade and Philip) during Christmas having some kinky fun. I loved the background about the characters past, even though it was a short story it had a lot of depth. I feel like this could potential have been a full length novel, hopefully this wonderful couple may appear in future book of the series.

There was some wording that I just didn't get, but this short little piece was lovely. It made me laugh a little and, despite the length, I felt the characters were people I'd want to read more about.

Jade and Phillip had been together for two years but he had had an accident last year and lost part of his left year below his knee. He had wanted to propose but with the accident he couldn't expect her to stay. But she did. Would he ask her this Christmas?

Once again very short but such a joyful HEA for a couple who have weathered some really rough life changes and emerged stronger for it together.
