Sexting St. Nick: A Happy Ending Holiday Novella is by Sarah Bale. Do you imagine Santa as a big round white haired older man? Well, think again, ladies, because this Santa is ripped and instead of driving a sleigh, he drives a motorcycle. I don’t know about you but I think I prefer this version.

Nick Holiday has lost his jolly. His woman left him and he just can’t seem to get his mojo back. So his friend Jack puts a new app on his phone and instructs him to check it out when he is alone. It’s for Jingle Belles, an agency you can call and…well, you get the picture.



Candy Kane has had a rough year. But she’s getting herself straightened out and now works for Jingle Belles. The night Nick calls, she’s instantly glad his call got routed to her. There seems to be an instant connection between them and she’s sure it goes both ways. After the second call, they agree to meet in person and the connection deepens.



Nick can’t believe how happy he is since Candy came into his life. Christmas isn’t far off and he has a lot of work to catch up on. But his nights are all spent with Candy. But something still isn’t right. He needs to figure out what is wrong before Christmas Eve so he can make her his.



This is a very short and oh so sexy Christmas novella. This Santa is sure to make you swoon and Candy is super sweet. Pun intended! I read it in one short sitting and really enjoyed it. It was fun and sexy and the perfect addition to my Christmas reading.

3.5 to 4*

This is a cute, hot Christmas romance and I enjoyed it way more than I expected.

I mean seriously what’s not to like it has Nick Holiday (who’s best friend is Jack Frost) who’s been struggling since his girlfriend left, he’s behind at work and Christmas is fast approaching. Jack helps him out by putting the Jingle Bells app on his phone.

Candy Kane is a phone sex worker working for Jingle Bells (her best friend and co-worker is Vixen) and she’s paired with Nick and the chemistry between them is instant.

This is a hot sexy read but it’s also cute and sweet and not only do we have Jack Frost but also the Easter Bunny and Cupid.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Fawkes Press.

Surprisingly interesting, funny/sexy and good for a short story.
A modern intake on Christmas characters and places to find real love.

I like this Santa a lot!!!
So sad now that I don't have a chimney... xD

Also, would like to know more about the secondary characters.

4.5 Stars
This story is short, fast paced, steamy and Christmassy. This book is the first book of Sarah Bale’s that I have read. Because of this, I wasn’t sure on what to expect. I needn’t have worried though as I found the writing style easy to follow and the characters loveable. I read this book in one sitting and wasn’t once bored. In fact, I was left wanting more!
I have to say; the characters names in this book amused me. They were all Christmas themed, which shouldn’t surprise me as this is a Christmas novella. For example: Candy Kane, Nick Holiday, Jack Frost, Vixen, Holly, Merry, Dash and Donner.
The chemistry between Nick and Candy was clear to see. I liked how they met and the slight build up to their relationship. Even over phone conversations, their chemistry was undeniable. I loved that Candy redeemed herself off of the naughty list, I also liked that she was Nick’s true mate.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable Christmassy read. I seriously hope Vixen and Jack’s story gets told, I need it!
One last thing; A motorcycle riding hunky Santa?! Hell yes! Love it.

I.... no. Sorry. Especially this time of year. It's so wrong. For me. YMMV
Extra short story/small novella. Nick Holiday & Candy Kane. Phone sex.
I got to 37% will Santa still bring me a present?

Sizzling hot Christmas novella about how St Nick finds his naughty Mrs Claus.

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this spicy holiday read!! A funny twist set in today's world, Candy Kane seems to be the answer to all of Nick Holiday's problems!

Nick has been off his game ever since his girlfriend up and left. They were never right for each other, but now he is lonely and it's wreaking havoc on business! His best buddy sets him up with the Jingle Belles app. Guaranteed to make things brighter!

Candy Kane has finally turned her life around. Working as a phone sex operator isn't her dream job, but the money is great! She's paired up with Nick through the Jingle Belles app and quickly texting isn't enough! There are definite sparks in the air! Texting turns into sexting which turns into real life meeting!

But times a ticking and there is no time to waste. The holidays are coming and Nick has to come clean if he ever wants to have a relationship with Candy. Will it cost him too much? Or will Santa have an abundance of Christmas joy?

This was super cute book! I loved it from start to finish! We get cameos from Jack Frost, Easter Bunny, and Cupid too! A wonderfully festive, sizzling read! Pure yumminess!!

3.5 stars.

I didn't think I was going to like this but it was good and smutty, smutty, smutty!
I don't know how I feel about him being still hung up on his ex and I wanted to know what happened to the supposedly "mrs Claus", why did she leave?
I know some of my safety gang gals will probably have a problem with the heroine and what she does for a living. (see spoiler)

Would I consider this safe? For me it was.
There's no OW/OM drama.
No pushing away.

she works as a sex phone operator or something like that, She gets naked and have phone/video sex with men, men have seen her naked but thank goodness she's not a shy little virgin/nun. She owned her sexuality. Also there's no mention if she continued having phone/video sex with OMs after having sex with the hero.

If you need a book to warm you up on a cold day, then look no further. When I first started reading Sexting St Nick, I was expecting something totally different. But I couldn’t put it down, and it definitely puts you in the mood for some loving. It was such an adorable and sexy story and honestly, I found myself believing. There is nothing not to love about this. Even though Nick and Candy’s world is merely a figment of our imaginations, it honestly gave me hope for a magical love like theirs. I highly recommend this short, sweet, and hot book to anyone who needs a little Christmas Spirit. I suggest grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and your coziest blanket and read away. I’m hoping there will be more in this series from Sarah Bale.

A steamy and quick read.

SPOILER FREE REVIEW

This is a perfect read for the holidays because it’ll keep you warm. *wink wink* It’s a novella and I read it in one go because I couldn’t stop reading either. The story gets to the point easily, though it’s insta love it’s really just a novella so things move really quick. I also love how this story is incorporated with magic. I never saw that coming. I just thought the character names were just for fun and for the purpose of a parody or fanfiction.

I really enjoyed this read and I hope there’ll be one for Jack and Vixen.

[Paul Franco · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cam girl falls for new customer, and of course vice versa, so much so that they take it offline. Then things really get weird.
Despite the shortness of the story there was more than enough to make the leads, as well as the elves and her best friend, likeable. Not so sure about the Frosty one, though.
Even though there’s plenty of real and virtual sex, this really is a cute romance. Her past was told small but heavy, and certainly made understanding her easier.
If only the motorcycle had been shaped like a reindeer with a red headlamp. . .

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adorable Novella about Nick Holiday and a romance that starts when Candy Kane is working on a phone sex line.
Puts the fun and love of Father Christmas back into the season.
I recommend this book.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

Thanks to netgalley.com for the copy of this book.
This story is sweet heat with some Insta-love and a bit wild fun mixed in! Fun characters, great names of characters, very original, and shopping to buy lingerie for her special guy! Vixen and Frost need to have their story told next! This was just a fun, quick read!

[Realmommybooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sarah Bale you are an incredible writer. I am 100% serious when I say thiis I’ve never laughed so much. The book was written so perfect and I will never picture Santa any other way.

If you are looking for a fun read this is it. You will enjoy it from beginning to end. You will meet different characters but it’s all worth it. I love books with texting so that’s a bonus.

[Primrose Passage · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a really cute short story. It’s a spin where Nick finds his true love by accident. Though, Cupid, Frost, and the Easter Bunny had a hand in pushing Nick and Candy together. They both experience rejection from their exes. Nothing can happen with their relationship until Nick finds out why Candy was on the naughty list. (Copy received for an Honest review)

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun, and albeit a little out there, Christmas novella. It was a quick and hot Holiday read. I may never look at Santa the same way again. There's Santa, a naughty h, elves, a list and plenty of other cliché but fun bits.

If you love sexy holiday reads to get you in the spirit of the season this book fits the bill.

[L.H. Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hello there sexy Santa. This really wasn't something I was expecting. I love that Sarah didn't really overplay the fact that some of these characters are holiday figures. Yet, she made them seem so normal, while also addressing who they are.

Candy Kane and Nick Holiday... a short but hot and steamy novella set at Christmas time.

Oh my goodness, 100 Christmas Stars

What a great story! The way this story goes was (for a better word) awesome. Loved her name was Candy Kane and he went by Nick. Who would have thunk they would connect through a sex/sexting business. This story was truly an adult Christmas fantasy. Thanks so much for a great story. Written by Cindy :)

Such a cute story!

Loved this take on the classic St. Loved the characters! I can't wait to read more about Jack and Vixen!

[Vikki · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoyed the start of this book but by 70 something percent it just felt a bit flat and rushed. :(

[Kerri Bonvie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hot and steamy

I really loved the first three stories. They were sexy and the third one was exotic. The fourth however, was sweet but there are a ton of misspellings throughout it and it was hard to focus on the story. I kept having to re-read the line with the correct word or words.
