Santa's Knot #1-4

A Date With Santa

Rate this book
Billy isn’t exactly sure what’s happening between him and the new Santa, but he’s curious to see where it goes. When Nick asks him on a date – a real one – he’s excited by the possibility of getting to know the man better.

After all, it isn’t every day you have the chance at staring a relationship with a seven feet tall, muscle-bound alpha who likes kinky sex and snuggles…

(This serial features a domineering alpha forced into the role of Santa, a submissive elf named Billy, and a magic castle on the North Pole. It contains domination, leather kink, bondage and much more!)

***

“Holy f*ck!” Nick laughed, swinging his thigh over Billy’s head and sitting down with his back against the headboard. “That was insane.”

Billy wasn’t listening. He reached down and put his fist around the head of his cock, but he only got in one good stroke before Nick was yanking his hand away. He whined, impatient and angry, struggling to get his hand back so that he could finally shoot his load.

“Let me,” Nick said, calm and amused, having no trouble controlling Billy and manhandling him so that he was sitting between Nick’s legs, both his wrists trapped in the alpha’s left hand.

Billy gave one last tug on his wrists, but it was no use. Nick was just too strong for him.

“This is your reward,” Nick mumbled into his hair, reaching around his waist and wrapping his gloved fingers around Billy’s length.

It was different from jerking himself off. Nick’s hand swallowed his cock, so big that he could fit Billy’s entire shaft within his grip, and he jerked him off expertly. When Nick started rubbing the underside of Billy’s crown with the tip of his index finger, Billy stopped thinking about how big the alpha’s hand was and lost himself in a sea of pleasure...

I'm enjoying the heck out of this series! The alpha Santa is letting his guard down and what a sweetheart he is underneath :) He's a total romantic. Billy's a lucky little elf.

My four stars are definitely for the kinky BDSM scenes. I loved the interactions between Nick and Billy. I can really get into reading about alpha males and their subs. I especially like for the alphas to be a little cruel like Nick. And I loved how Billy discovered his submissive side.

The story being about Santa Clause and an elf was not my favorite plot I’ve read by D. J. Heart.

After sitting on my Kindle for way too long, I finally finished this series and I'm glad I did. There's great chemistry between these guys and I was glad to see Billy get his happy ending ;)

Oh man - Huge, alpha, sexy built Santa? In a form fitting suit? Sign.Me.Up.

Nice kinky foray into a new version of Santa. Santa's the big bad kinky alpha and the elf is a seemingly innocent twink...together they make magic. Err Santa makes magic, pounds the twink, and the twink tries not to blow things up. That's what I'm talking about.....yep. Plenty of dirty talk - but does not evolve to PWP (though I canna' lie I love me some D.J. Heart completely devolved into smutty, sexy, porny goodness). Overall it comes off as a cute on top, naughty on bottom book. No pun.

4/5. Highlights may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

Content Warnings for book: N/A

Kink: D/s, boot licking, pain play, impact play, chastity, bondage, orgasm control, orgasm denial, knotting, voyeurism, exhibitionism, cages, humiliation

Cute and hot Christmas erotica. There was definitely an undercurrent of romance which was sweet, and part of me wishes there was just a little bit more to make it even sweeter. Loved the usage of a safe word being respected. For those who avoid Heart because of dubcon and noncon, you could read this one without fear!

It's nice to know that Santa's not perfect. More playtime with Billy while they wait for Krampus to come help with the magic. I'm pretty sure the last installment of this story will be the best.

(DNF@30% on February 28th, 2026) I'll admit the summary made me curious enough to give this a try. I don't particularly care for omegaverse stories, but I haven't read many smutty stories where Santa was one of the main characters and I would like to read more of them. Unfortunatelly, this didn't work for me.

Billy is your typical not typical elf and Nick is a big scowly alpha, chosen for the position of the next Santa, despite the fact that he applied for the position of Krampus. Nick was entirely too concieted that I found his character incredibly off putting. In one of the first scenes he designs his new Santa suit to be as sexy and tightfitting as posible and then proceedes to admire himself in a miror while jacking his huge c*ck. And that is basically his whole personality, his c*ck his sole focus.

Doesn't make for a very compelling characterization and the first sex scene with Billy and him wasn't anything particuarly groundbreaking. I didn't get to any of the harder BDSM scenes, but I very much doubt they would have been my jam.

Themes: dual POV, omegaverse, Santa/elf, BDSM

2.5 stars. I love hard core BDSM books! In this book, santa is a sadist and not in a good way. There is no real conversation about submission and masochism. Billy is basically thrown into the deep end. Even though he enjoys it, IMO it was to harsh to fast. I do give Nick credit when Billy says yellow, he does take that into consideration. And there are times when he is kind of tender. But overall I find him just cruel. I really enjoyed how things are run in the castle and the making of the toys. I loved that Billy got his machine finally up and running. Loved Tulip, she cracked me up. What a prankster she was, especially making the cockcages.

I ended up giving this book three stars—while it probably would have been closer to one for me personally, I went in fully aware that it wasn’t my usual kind of read. It delivers exactly what you’d expect from a book with that kind of premise, and while the writing is solid, with some genuinely sweet and funny moments, it just didn’t balance out for me overall. The story flows well and it’s a quick read, which makes it easy to get through, but a lot of the more intense elements felt like too much for my taste. That said, I can absolutely see how others might enjoy it, especially if they’re drawn to this style of storytelling.

Looking for a quirky holiday themed m/m? Interested in reading about a Dom Alpha Santa and his novice sub Elf? While there's no tinsel used in the making of the bondage in this book (I was hoping...even though that would actually be dangerous IRL), there was a lot of BDSM, including a bit of humiliation play. I must say that at the beginning the new Santa, Nick, came off as a jerk, which was off-putting for me, but I really liked this book. Not for the faint of heart or those who can't handle a very different take on Santa and his Elf.

This book was a bit of a conundrum for me. On one hand it was an easy read, that had a lot of interesting banter and a solid foundation with the introduced Characters. On the other hand it felt like the author fumbled every chance for character development. I, personally, think the story could've been a lot more.

The one point I am not really equipped to answer is the bdsm part of the story, which is taking up a large chunk of the story. It was very far out of my comfort zone and I don't feel at liberty to rate that part.

This was SO sexy and kinky in all the right ways. At first I was worried about the power imbalance between Nick and Billy. However, as it went on, I was pleasantly surprised. I liked how both Billy and Nick have their own strengths (hint: Nick’s was NOT his brain), and the two ultimately had a dynamic that was kinda hilarious. I mean, not gonna lie, the novel was sort of ridiculous from start to finish. Make no mistake, my friend: Read this for the sex, and don’t expect much beyond that.

Disappointed

It needed more love less cruelty. Even in a Ds relationship there is compassion and love . It not about being as cruel as you can be and hurt the sub. Yes there is some pain and use but this was just cruel. Some of the scenes were hot until the evil and cruelty came in

Omg...

A hardcore Santa Dom was exactly what I needed. I know that this sort of tale is not for everyone, but I love them. I just wish that the elf was an omega. We could've had a Christmas baby!

There were some editing errors in this that did pull me out of the story, which was my only mark against it.

A sexy, kinky story about Santa and his elves. Nick, the brand new Santa, was a hot AF dominant Alpha, and Billy, the elf, was just discovering his submissive side. Billy had no idea just how much he enjoyed submitting until Nick took him to his playroom and introduced him to a whole new set of toys.

Mmmmm

Loved this. I'm thinking that this is now my favorite holiday book. Kinky Christmas is a must now. The characters are entertaining and the scenes are hot. The added holiday storyline is a fun little twist.
I will definitely be reading this again.

This book was practically my companion for Christmas. I wanted to read something naughty for the holiday and this was just perfect. I love D.J. Heart and I hope DJ writes more in the future. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Christmas in July

I don’t know what I expected but this was good either way. LOL

Another DJ Heart Classic! Predatory Alphas with leather and domination fetishes to go along with pretty submissives.

Magic and submission.

I would have given this book a four but I don't like pain or humiliation. Not my favorite things and I would have liked the story better without it.

I like BDSM, I like alpha males. If you're looking for major sexy time with a lot of kink this is a good book for you. It was hot and the santa/elf was an interesting dynamic.

I didn't like it at all. It was too rough for my taste and the most important thing was, I couldn't feel the love between them.

Did you ever imagine Santa as the Dungeon Master in your BDSM fantasies? I never, which just proves that even though I read a lot of smut I’m still a little bit behind with my fetish reading! If you want your Santa ripped and mean, I dare you to try this one. It will put you on the naughty list for sure.

Story: Nick is less than happy with his new assignment as Santa. He's the last person who should have been chosen to be Santa. He's stern, rough around the edges, and he likes to inflict pain more than he likes to make people laugh. He's an alpha, though and through, and he has no idea how he's supposed to fill his new role. The cute little elf Billy from the experimentation room, however, he knows exactly what to do with...

Wow! Loved this approach to a naughty Santa’s and his elf! Definitely mind bending and steaming hot...if you are into domineering and mean doms.

This installment was much sweeter than the previous one. I'm really starting to like Nick a lot. And I really liked their date. Nick is showing his softer side and I'm loving it. I liked when Nick channeled the magic into the castle and how everybody is surprised by it. Can't wait to see more of Nick becoming the perfect Santa. I have to say that I'm really not loving Tulip. She's kind of annoying. I hope she gets better.

This isn't your average Christmas story! Started out pretty normal but then the new Santa showed up and the North Pole got a whole lot kinkier. I wasn't sure that I was gonna like Nick at first. He seemed like a real jerk but as the story went on, I feel like he's going to turn out to be pretty awesome. Billy's pretty cute and I hope that he finally gets his machine up and running.
