About the author
Elle Wright
55 books410 followersBorn and raised in Southeast Michigan near Ann Arbor, Elle learned the importance of reading from her mother. It was also her mother who, later on in her life, gave Elle her first romance novel: Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. From that moment on, Elle became a fan of Ms. Jenkins for life and a lover of all things romance. An old journal she wrote back in college became her first book (which she still wants to publish one day).
Elle is hard at work on her next novel.

“I love you. I’m not going to be satisfied if we have to wait any longer. So marry me. Today. Right now.”
Now, that’s what I call a sense of urgency! There’s nothing quite like a man not only knowing what he wants, but also seeing him express it to the woman he loves. Morgan has absolutely no shame in letting everyone know that Syd is the woman for him and that he intends to spend the rest of his life with her. Their romance (pun intended) is one that romance books are truly written about. There is a slight trace of fairy tale, but for the most part, it is a realistic story.
This book is a novella so there really isn’t a need for a long, drawn out review. All He Wants For Christmas does have one unexpected turn and it truly threw me for a loop. It caused the book to become much more emotional and it added some depth. All He Wants For Christmas is a great addition to the Edge of Scandal series. If you haven’t read the previous books, then I highly recommend that you do. Elle Wright is a gem in the romance genre and she deserves to be a household name!!

This was the PERFECT addition to an already great series. It was like a peek into the lives of the characters we grew to love in the first three books. Great job!

“Will you marry me? Today? There is never going to be a perfect time or perfect place. But we have right now” –Morgan Smith
In this “Sexy Christmas novella” Elle Wright penned an AWESOME short holiday LOVE story comprised of romance, action, forgiveness and new beginnings. One perk that I love about the stories in this series is that the author gives readers an opportunity to get caught up with ALL of our favorite characters. In All He Wants for Christmas, there is nothing more that Morgan Smith wants than to make Sydney Williams his wife. She wants all the bells and whistles, and who could blame her. But, he just wants to say I do. However, tragedy hits home and there may not be a wedding. Morgan’s world goes black and Sydney thinks her life will never be the same. Love for one another and their baby girl Brynn is the glue that holds them together. Strength along with support from their family and friends helps them to fight through this tragedy. A prayer and a promise is what it takes to keep Syd sane & hopeful. This novella is a certified page turner and an emotional roller coaster. I went from being hot and bothered one minute, to laughing the next, feeling frightened, talking to the characters, crying, and every other emotion one could experience. I recommend this book to all Edge of Scandal fans and anyone looking for a good holiday read or just a good read in general!! Fantastic job Elle…..5 Stars

Elle Wright has never disappointed me and this book was no different. Morgan has one wish for Christmas, to make Sydney his wife. She's his everything-his all in all. Sydney has the man of her dreams and a daughter who fills her life with joy. They're all set to have the holiday they planned until things take an unexpected turn.
This book was a wonderful continuation of THE FORBIDDEN MAN. Fans of Book one in the Edge of Scandal series will not be disappointed. Because Elle Wright takes her writing seriously, she delivered an excellent Christmas novella that did the love established between Sydney and Morgan extreme Justice. I'm a fan! She did her job well! I really enjoyed this book! It was definitely worth the wait. Five Stars!!!!!

I absolutely loved this book. If you have followed this series then you have been rooting for Sydney and Morgan since "The Forbidden Man". All they wanted for Christmas was to finally get married. Will Syd be able to have her dream wedding? Will she even marry her soul mate?
This story had me laughing at some parts and drying tears at others.. I was so mad at the author for sending me on this emotional roller coaster. I was glad to see the tight knit group together once again sharing the highs and lows of life. If you're looking for a short and sweet Christmas story then this novella is for you.

An Excellent Christmas Story - Sydney & Morgan!! 🤗🤗
So, I realized I read this out of order, thinking I had selected just a Christmas story! Now, I’m definitely going back and move this series to the top of my TBR list!!
Now…What a wonderful story!! I loved the relationship between Syd and Morgan! And the friendships among all of them was heartwarming!! This may have been a novella, but it was packed with drama and we were taken on an emotional journey that was something else!! All I can say is I absolutely loved this story and definitely recommend it!! Kudos, Elle!! 💜

Morgan Smith and Sydney Williams are the epitome of unconditional love. It shows all in there family with there daughter and friends. It was all in there love making. It was in all of there decisions while Morgan decided upon leaving her once again to work in Baltimore. Surprising Morgan he came home early and Sydney was ecstatic. When a freak accident happened at there bar I was so caught up in the story line I had to pause. This title is so appropriate for this story. Riveting and suspenseful to the very end.

A Nice Christmas Treat
Morgan and Sydney's story touched my heart more after getting to know their deep and abiding love. Initially the forbidden love was a turn off, but I dug deeper and embraced the essence behind their love. The culmination of their love was a nice Christmas celebration and marriage vows. A beautiful novella for their happily ever after. I hope to one day see a happy Caleb story.

Omg!!!!
This book is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!! Confusing, too much of nothing . Half the book was just plain over done. Boring. I really tried but it got to be too much. Not realistic . This book was all over the place. Your man on a ventilator and the first thing you do is have an hour long conversation with his brother, really?, .. This is my first time reading this author's book. No more. Will not recommend this book.

All he wants for Christmas is a sweet romantic eye opener that each day is not promised and we should live each day to the fullest and we should wait and take anything for granted. We met Syd and Morgan in The Forbidden Man and was nice to see where they were in there lives. Very nice Christmas Novella.

Finally Thier Happily Ever After
Though the first of the six friends to become a couple they were the last two to get married. As with the beginning of their relationship their journey to wedded bliss was not an easy road. Sydney and Morgan made it through and reached the finish line.

The last book of the Edge or Scandal series wraps up all of the loose ends and places them in a box with a neat, little bow. Kinda disappointed that the journey has been completed, but Elle Wright is a helluva navigator.👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥👍🏾🔥

Nice conclusion
I’ve enjoyed this author and everything I’ve read. This series was great nothing like marrying your best friend and being surrounded by the love and support of family.

All He Wants For Christmas
Syd and Morgan went through hell and high water to have a life together and a week before the wedding he almost looses his life. And they finally realized it's not what you spend on the wedding but you put in the marriage.

Emotional
What a beautiful way to wrap up this series! I'm enjoying this author immensely and have added her to my list of authors to read. From the two weddings, mother daughter relationship improving, friends always there and family ties strong.

All he wants for Christmas
This love had a very scary plot. Many black males lose their lives on mess that occurred bin the botched robbery. Just because so many are trying to live off others who work for their living. Many don't have the chance to have a business.

This story even though fiction was real life. The support of family and friends during a time of crisis was touching. Love the way Ms. Wright weaves a story.

Don't judge a book by its summary
It was a Great quick read! The Summary had me thinking some major mystery was bout to happen. Not!! Great story how male/female friendships are the best beginning of a lasting relationship.

Heart pounding good
I love Syd and Morgan. I love the way they love. It's hard not to fight for and with them. The emotional roller coaster was well worth it. I loved every page!

All He Wants for Christmas is a novella set in the Edge of Scandal series by Elle Wright. The main characters, Sydney and Morgan already have a book which is called The Forbidden Man and it's the first book in the series. Even if I hadn't told you that you would have realized that there was another book featuring these two because this novella felt like a continuation of a story rather than something extra as a treat for the fans. I wouldn't recommend reading it as stand-alone because there is a strong possibility that you will feel like something is missing.
Sofia from 4 years ago (which is when I first read the novella) was a more generous person than she is now. I found some parts unrealistic and without wanting to spoil anything I will just say that it had to do with the danger Morgan is in and the way he recovered from it. It was a miracle indeed.
Overall, the novella was neither good or bad and I will only recommend it if you have read The Forbidden Man.

I was so thrilled when I got the chance to read All He Wants for Christmas. Elle Wright is an amazing writer. I dived into this novella as soon as I could and I loved it!. All He Wants for Christmas was a sexy , sweet , heartwarming story . We are following Sydney and Morgan and I just love these two together. Things happen in this story that I definitely did not see coming, I was urgently moving from page to page needing to know what would happen. This story helped remind me about what Christmas is all about and I loved that. Elle Wright Edge of Scandal series is fantastic and All He Wants For Christmas is an excellent addition to this series. I cannot wait to get my hands on Elle Wright's next book, I know it is going to be fantastic. If you all these things in your books I suggest you pick up a copy .
