This Santa's got a big package...and an even bigger secret. Ethan People in this small town call me many Principal Ethan Stone. Veteran Navy SEAL. A bad-ass you don't want to f*ck with. They don't call me Sir, unless they're playing the part of my sub at The Castle, the exclusive adults-only club I own...but that's my other, secret life. As a well-respected local principal, I never mix business with pleasure. Then she comes to work for Holly Sweet, my school's new librarian. She's curvy, sugary-sweet, and can't look at me without blushing as red as a candy-cane. She's naturally submissive but too innocent. There are a lot of things I'll do to a woman, but I won't corrupt a good girl. Not even when she begs me to fill in as Santa for the damned Winter Festival. Not even when she's blushing so adorably in an elf costume three sizes too small. Not even when she accidentally tumbles right onto my lap and lands on Santa's big package. One touch of that sweet, curvy bottom and I realize, I'm about to unwrap the only thing I want this Holly. This naughty novella is packed full of Christmas cheer, an over-the-top Alpha hero (yes, he's a school principal, veteran SEAL, and co-owner of a fantasy castle...why not, right?) and a curvy heroine who gives as good as she gets. It's as sweet and steamy as hot cocoa, and it'll make you wanna get creative with whipped cream. Also one sinful Santa suit, naughty uses for Breaking Bad character names, a sprinkle of holiday magic and a big ol' happily-ever-after.
Ali Piedmont has worked as a writer, blogger, editor, book reviewer and mom – but she loves writing romance novels more than anything! Well, okay, her husband and kids rank pretty high up there, too.
Ali writes the romance novels she loves to read, with smart heroines, sex-god heroes, a little bit of angst and a lot of laughs. (And a lot of lovin'. Let's be real.)
Pretty sweet holiday story between Holly and Ethan. Ethan the school principal has always adored the librarian Holly. When he finally decides to move on one Christmas, so does Holly. Their paths collide and explosive sex takes place. Contains mild BDSM elements. safe with mild exceptions for me with a sweet epilogue 3.5/5
This couple is so hot that they melt ice together.
Literally :-D
A hard school Principal and a sweet, submissive librarian with a spirit. She has a crush on him, he has all kinds of indecent reactions to her. A perfect setting for a naughty Christmas!
This provocative scenario is so much fun with an elf sitting on Santa's lap and getting a big surprise, a growling Dom who doesn't want to ruin his innocent employee, and lots of steamy temptations they can't deny any more.
This story is indeed a winter wonderland ride full of naughty fantasies, and I had a merry time reading it.
It's got so many funny moments because Holly is sweet but she's also crazy about her aloof Principal Stone. She shows him she's not afraid to break through all his fears and let loose his beast on her.
I loved the dynamic style, the rich mix of Ethan's lifestyle and background, and his Christmassy fantasies that involve a sexy elf he can't live without. A joy to read at this hectic time of the year!
Ethan is a man with many layers. He's a principal, ex-serviceman and also part owner of The Castle, a BDSM club and totally drawn to Holly one of the teachers. The problem is he doesn't mix business with pleasure. But when Holly plays elf to his Santa in that tight little costume,, Ethan almost breaks his own rules.
Holly came home to take care of her nana and began a teaching job. A job with a very sexy principal who she's attracted to but is always scowling at her. After an incident at with Santa, Holly decides she needs a night to unwind and gets in over her head with a couple of cowboys. That's when Ethan walks in and goes all Dom. From this point on the author heats up the pages. This is a short, hot read that I would even say was sweet in sense. Fast moving pace with no little to no time to catch your breath. A fun story line with a very satisfying ending.
What a delightful holiday read! Ali Piedmont has gifted us the perfect holiday novella, with a wonderful storyline and delightful characters. The chemistry between Principal Ethan Stone and Ms Holly Sweet (Librarian) is off the chart...and the sex scenes are really HOT! Practically melts your eReader.
Ethan's Holly's secret crush. He's the principal at the school where she's a teacher, but she thinks he hates her. Ethan's got a dark side, he's the owner of a sex club Castle, where he's a dom. He wants Holly as his. When they're thrown together at a chrismas party things heat up.
I fell in love with Ethan from the very beginning. I love his dominant/alpha side a lot. Holly was one lucky lady to have him, no matter how it came about. This story was sexy as sin and will have you laughing at the same time. If you one click today you will not be disappointed.
A sweet & sexy naughty Christmas Holiday novella. School principal Ethan Stone & Librarian Holy Sweet are two precious souls with secrets & naughty fantasies. All wrapped up perfectly in the end with a sweet epilogue.
This was a steamy holiday read about a man who thinks the sweet librarian is just too innocent for his dominant ways, while she's a lot more naughty than he realizes. ;)
Stocking Stuffer is about Holly and Ethan. Holly has returned to her home town to live with and take care of her grandmother. She is the elementary school's new librarian. Ethan is the school's principal. He's also a former Navy SEAL...and a co-owner of The Castle. The Castle is an exclusive, members-only "lounge club" as Ethan calls it. Ethan has wanted Holly from the first time they met, but he knew he could never have her. He is her boss, he is a demanding lover, he is a broken man, and he thinks Holly is too good for him. Little does he know that Holly wants a demanding lover, but the only time she expressed her wants to someone, she was shamed for it, so she never brought it up again.
On the last day before the winter break, Holly begs Ethan to be Santa for the Winter Festival. Though he fights it at first, he relents and agrees. Through a series of funny events, Holly (dressed as Santa's elf) falls onto Santa's lap...and feels his desire for her. They both dismiss it, but when Ethan winds up at the bar Holly went to, Ethan gives in to his desire for her and takes her to his home. You'll have to get your copy to find out what happens.
I absolutely LOVED this story! It had it all: sweet romance, super hot sex, action, sadness, anger...just everything. I look forward to reading more from Ali!

Ethan is a school principle who has a dark side nobody knows about , he dabbles in a risqué BDSM club as a Dom, but when he finally notices Holly one of his schools teachers. Problem is he can't decide whether he should tear off her packaging or if she's a gift he should leave alone, untouched under the tree , but once she notices his sparkling eyes roaming over her body will she let him have a peek??

I voluntarily read this book for an honest review. I loved the book and the only reason it's not a 5 was I wanted more. The story was great, perfect read for a busy weekend; but I craved more hot sex. Miss Holly sweet is the new librarian at the school Ethan Stone is a principal at. Both secretly lust for each other since her interview, however they consider each other off limits. That is until one night before Christmas changes everything, and well, wow, I wouldn't be disappointed if my husband took notes from Principal Stone.
5 Hot Stars. A short Christmas romance about a part time Dom, sex club owner/ elementary school principal Ethan Stone and the school librarian Holly Sweet (love that name) They have both lusted after each other for months but it take playing Santa and his Elf in a school event to break the ice.
Their sexual chemistry is off the charts and the ending is a Ah.... moment. It a steamy novella that is perfect for a little naughty down time Thanks for a another great read Ali Piedmont

Ethan the overbearing school principal who has the hots for Holly the librarian, but he thinks his rough past and lifestyle is not what the "good girl" needs in her life. Holly Sweet is going to show him he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. If you are looking for something to take your mind off the stressors of the Holidays this may just be what you need! Ethan and Holly have this electric connection and make for a sexy hot, fun fast paced Holiday read that I didnt want to end! I foresee me reading this one again!

I would recommend this book. It was fun, sexy and even brought a little tear to my eye.
Principal Ethan Stone is cold as ice to Holly and she takes it as him not liking her. He's trying to control himself because he wants her badly. The problem is she's his employee and he doesn't want to cross that line. Plus he thinks his secret is too dirty for her. Ethan thinks she deserves a better person but can Holly show him he's exactly what she's been wanting?
Stocking Stuffer by Ali Piedmont is a perfect Christmas story. School principal/Santa and school librarian/Santa's elf... just what kind of holiday mischief could these two find? The perfect Christmas kind. I enjoyed reading this story and read it start to finish just because I had to see what naughtiness Santa had in store for his elf.
