A short novel perfect for fans of Emily Shore, Tiffany Roberts, Opal Reyne, Katee Robert, CM Nacosta, and Kathryn Moon.
Noelle wants to change. She doesn't want to be depressed and angry. She doesn't want to keep hurting the people who love her. So this Christmas, she's writing a letter to the North Pole for help making the change.
But she's not writing to Santa, because she doesn't deserve gifts or forgiveness.
She deserves punishment, so she's writing to Krampus, instead.
If she's lucky, Noelle is going to get what she deserves, and so much more.
Dear Krampus is a short, erotic MFM monster romance featuring Saint Nick, Krampus, and a woman who needs a second chance at life and love. While a Happily Ever After is guaranteed, Dear Krampus does contain dark romance elements.
this book is chaotic in the most entertaining way possible. it starts with a heroine who is having an emotionally messy holiday season and somehow ends up entangled with two extremely supernatural men who both give her very different kinds of attention. if you like festive romance but wish it came with claws sharp teeth and deeply questionable decision making this absolutely delivers.
the story is bold funny and surprisingly heartfelt underneath all the heat. there is a genuine emotional arc about guilt desire and figuring out what kind of affection feels real. despite the wild premise the feelings actually land.
it is definitely on the shorter side so things escalate quickly and occasionally i wanted just a little more depth especially with the relationships. still the pace keeps you hooked and the combination of holiday cheer and supernatural chaos is weirdly satisfying.
four stars because it is fun spicy dramatic and memorable and truly nothing else says “seasonal spirit” like a heroine ending up romantically involved with more than one mythical winter icon.
I love that this book starts off with accountability and recognition that the FMC has issues. A lot of people live in a state of denial so seeing her going through these things and recognizing them is huge for relating to the audience. Noelle wants to change, she wants to be the change and she wants to see the change. She thinks it’s silly but she writes a letter to the North Pole for the one thing that she wants, to help her with that change. What she gets is an answer from Krampus. She deserves to be punished and by punished I mean bend her over and smack her ass type punishment. This story is a why choose monster romance where Noelle is taken on a wild ride with both Santa and Krampus and the spice is hot! I feel like this book definitely did what it was supposed to do. It was short sweet and to the point without throwing in all the filler nonsense that takes away from the story. Did I want more, sure but it wasn’t necessary.
Dark, spicy, and surprisingly tender—Dear Krampus is the perfect naughty holiday treat.
Noelle’s desperate letter to Krampus sets the stage for a short, intense monster romance filled with emotional catharsis and MFM heat. Saint Nick and Krampus deliver equal parts darkness, comfort, and life-changing desire as they help Noelle find the second chance she never thought she deserved.
Quick, kinky, and unexpectedly heartfelt—this is a must-read for monster romance fans looking for a fiery holiday novella with a guaranteed HEA.
Oh! I agree with Nicholas on that overplayed Christmas song! (You'll have to read it to know what I am talking about 😉)

I will never think of Santa the same way again! Wow! I may write a letter to Krampus. This was deliciously naughty. It was definitely my kind of Christmas story.
