After reading one of the free short stories by this author released by Dirt Road Books, I promptly read another. By the same author I mean. Even though I was somewhat disappointed in the first I’d read.
It’s March and I’m reading a Christmas story. Heh.
Right, so, another solo point of view story – from the point of view of an elf – or, at least, a woman who wears an elf costume at a department story during the holidays to work the register in the little hut that processes photos taken with Satan. Yes, bring your kids to see Satan. Bah. I mean Santa, of course. Stupid fingers not type what I want (and yes, I’ve fought them to actually write all rest, they wanted to type ‘time’ instead of ‘type’ earlier, among other things . . . dangnabbit, stop removing my spaces, fingers!)
While her stomach rumbles (a reoccurring theme for this author? Hehe, I joke with myself, just noticing a reoccurring plot point in two stories read on same day), the woman plans to go on break. But wait! There’s a gorgeous woman who is next! POV woman (and here remember people’s names would be nice, I think her ‘elf’ name was something like Jangles, and her human name was something like Maddy, but I might be wrong about both) and gorgeous woman (whose name escapes me completely) flirt.
Then, I think it’s the next day, that same woman returns. Sans kid. Asks if POV woman is about to have a break.
The two sneak into an out of the way area that consists of a den of bears. Stuffed bears. Graphic depiction of sex may or may not occur, with some odd bell ringing, and almost constant mental reminders that they have a thin layer of bears (and. . . other stuff) between them and the public).
Despite not much happening in this story, it seemed a lot more complete than the other story I read by this author today. Much more satisfying; much less of a teaser.

A shame that the author didn't develop the story into a novel verse just a short story that just stops. Both 'Jingles' AKA Maddy and Leisha are likable characters, you have elements that could have been expanded on by R.G., but just seems like this is meant to be a teaser short story by the publisher Dirt Road Books, Inc. Plus be interesting to see the author write more on Maddy and Leisha, but doubt she will and would try reading more of her writing.

I’ll never look at a pile of bears the same way again. A cute and sexy little short.
