Meeting a woman like CeeCee is the last thing I expect on Christmas Eve. She’s funny, has a filthy mouth, and is a sexy-as-hell flirt. Turns out I’m the mountain man she’s been reading about … and dreaming about. Now we’re both stranded at an airport and I’m determined to make the best of it. I have a few ideas on how to make time pass with CeeCee …. It’s time to make her lumberjack fantasies come true.
Dear Reader, This is a quickie and a classic filthy-sweet read. Bradley’s our hero — and he’s going to do what it takes to get CeeCee singing more than a Christmas carol. She’s going to lose her voice screaming his name. Merry Christmas, indeed. xo, frankie
**Previously published in the We Wish You a Naughty Christmas anthology.
Frankie Love writes filthy-sweet stories about bad boys and mountain men. As a thirty-something mom to six who is ridiculously in love with her own bearded hottie, she believes in love-at-first-sight and happily-ever-afters. She also believes in the power of a quickie.
❤️ Get ready to fall in love ... you deserve it! ❤️
🎄✨🎄Conocer a una mujer como CeeCee es lo último que espero en Nochebuena.
Es graciosa, tiene la boca sucia y es una coqueta muy sexy.
Resulta que soy el hombre de la montaña sobre el que ha estado leyendo... y soñando.
Ahora los dos estamos varados en un aeropuerto y estoy decidido a aprovecharlo al máximo.
Tengo algunas ideas sobre cómo hacer que el tiempo pase con CeeCee…
Es hora de hacer realidad sus fantasías de leñador.✨🎄✨
❄️ Una historia corta de amor y lujuria instantáneos con temática navideña al muy estilo de Frankie Love... completamente increíble y cliché!
Podría haber sido una historia divertida navideña con todos los problemas que suelen surgir para esa época en un aeropuerto en este caso, el vuelo se retrasó y casualmente CeeCee conoce a Bradley, ambos quieren llegar desesperadamente a casa con sus padres lo que hace que peleen por el último lugar en el avión pero... Todo cayó para mi plano, sin mucho ahí en la historia que chistes que que no precisamente me hicieron reír.
La química entre los protas no la sentí, faltó chispa. Una pena porque me gustaron al comienzo cuando no se soportan, después cayó flojo.
El único giro que no estaba esperando es cuando los dos van al mismo lugar porque sus padres se van a casar y se enteran juntos al llegar! Y lo que pasa luego me hizo poner los ojos en blanco, en serio? Era eso necesario? Hubiera estado mejor si se encontraban en el pub de él días después, sí, hubiera preferido eso a esa escena final innecesaria.
Pensamiento aparte...
No sé si esa escena de sexo en un cuarto de suministros en el aeropuerto pueda ser algo posible. No están todas esas puertas cerradas para el público?
El final quedó abrupto y me dejó con ganas de saber cómo siguió su historia. No hay epilogo para sacame las ganas al menos.
Este de FL no fue de mis favoritos, fue un regular.❄️
This was a pleasant surprise! CeeCee is having a horrible day that is amplified when she has to fight (dirty) for a seat on a plane. What happens next is comical that turns sweet that turns smoking hot. There's a fun twist to cap it all off.
This was a short story at the end of Beauty and the Mountain Man and it’s also in an anthology called We Wish You A Naughty Christmas from last year. CeeCee has had a crappy week, her boss promised her a Christmas bonus but all she got was a fruitcake. She had to work on Christmas Eve and then rush home to pack and she was locked out of her apartment. By the time she was ready to leave it was too late to take a bus so she had to waste money getting an Uber to the airport. Then she arrives at the airport in Seattle and is told her flight to Phoenix has been canceled. This is the first Christmas since her Mom died and it’s very important that she spend the holiday with her Dad. Bradley has been working nonstop to get ready for the grand opening of his bar on New Years Eve. It’s Christmas Eve and he’s just found out his flight to Phoenix to visit his Mom has been canceled. Both of these strangers now have to wait three hours for the next flight and they end up seated next to each other. They have an amazing chemistry and talk to each other for the whole flight. They were a cute couple but I did think it was disgusting that they fucked in an airport supply closet. The ending was a bit of a surprise.
Me gustó mucho cómo arrancó, bien al estilo Frankie Love, pero no entiendo la razón por la que la autora apuró todo al final, perfectamente podría haberse detenido en narrar mejor esa llegada a casa. Me quedé con gusto a poco.
Christmas Eve has to be the worst time of year to travel, and CeeCee has had enough! Desperate to get home to her father, CeeCee does her best to get the last plane ticket to her destination, even if she has to wrestle it from the hottie with a beard in line with her…
Bradley can’t believe the smexxy F-bomb chick in line with him at the ticket counter is actually willing to fight him for the last standby ticket. She’s unlike any woman he’s ever met, and he’s itching to know her better, but he has to get home to his mom for the holiday…
CeeCee and Bradley find themselves both shit-out-of-luck in obtaining that last ticket, but when they end up seated together on the next flight, the sparks and F-bombs fly…and the stockings aren’t the only thing going to get stuffed this Christmas Eve!
After reading this super hawt smexxy short, you’ll never say Merry Christmas in the same way again! Loved and highly recommend!
This was a quick but disappointing read. Bradley is too much of a dirty talker for me and I just did not feel any interest for either characters. I felt they were bland and aside from the fact that they loved to read instead of watching Netflix marathons provided little personality.
Also, not into insta-love but I have myself to blame for that having read a previous book from this author and it being the exact same use of trope. But I failed to read the author bio.
Wanted to read this one to start the Christmas-y feels with some smutt woven into the mixture. But aside from mentioning the word which becomes a double entendre there is zero Christmas vibes.
This little Christmas novella held some surprises and all were the good kind.
Frankie Love is such a sweetheart when it comes to making you smile at a serious happening and she did just that with this little love story.
CeeCee and Bradley were on their way to spend some time with each's own widow/widower parent and had a chance meeting that didn't turn out the way they wanted it to or so they thought. The ending was actually better than either could have hoped and the parents who thought they had some news were left a little bemused but seemed to be OK with everything that was happening.
I originally read this story in the anthology "We Wish You A Naughty Christmas". It is short, sexy Christmas read to get you in the holiday mood. You get the signature mountain man with a feisty woman and they both know what they want. So grab you a glass of wine and enjoy this novella. But be warned, this one will warm you up like no other. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced copy of this book.
This is a well written steamy and fun read. Two characters meet in an Airport by accident and from here it really goes fast. It is instant attraction and lust. No spoilers but these two are fun. They have a great chemistry. The story is very short and I would have liked it to be longer or at least have a sort of epilogue. I liked it very much. Twists and emotions are a big part of the story. Recommendable and enjoyable to read.
This book is short, fast paced and festive. I read this book within half an hour and was left wanting more. I wish this book were longer. I wanted more of CeeCee and Bradley. I loved how they met and was amused at them arguing over the ticket. The chemistry between them was clear to see and I liked the hint of a future relationship between them. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a sweet read.
I adore Frankie Love and her books, but this one was not my favorite. I loved their crazy banter in the beginning, but the chemistry fizzled out for me. I'm used to her quick, insta-love stories, but this one flew past me so fast I must have missed that little something that would make me believe in their connection, their relationship. Frankie Love is still my girl though, and I look forward to more of her books.😊
Their flight was cancelled. So they were fighting for a ticket. Sat next to each other, get acquainted. Agreed to Let’s “Merry Xmas” or secret word for fuck. Titty fuck on the closet storage. Went to her father’s house with news both their dad and mom are getting married. Nothing shocking, they decided to merry xmas again.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
A quick insta love read with a Christmassy feel. CeeCee needs to get home to her dad but it’s Xmas eve and her flight is cancelled. She hopes she can get another flight. Bradley is on his way home to him mom and being Christmas Eve his flight is cancelled. With the hopes of getting another ticket he flirts with an attendant but unknown to him CeeCee has heard and it’s a fight to the death..........well not quite the death but until someone gets the ticket buuuuuuut a twist sees them out of luck. As they head home after a good merry Christmas (read the book) they are shocked by the twist at the end. What will the outcome be? A good short quick read. Previously released as part of an anthology.
This was FANFREAKINGTASTIC! I giggled, I swooned, I DEVOURED this delicious Christmas treat that left me breathless and HOT! Frankie Love is such an amazing and talented writer. And it shows with Let's Merry Christmas. Its cute yet sinful too and you really don't want to miss it.
Two strangers meet in the airport on not what you would call GOOD terms. During the flight they talk and realize they really like in other. The also have "Merry Christmas" in the airport. They depart not knowing how or when they will see each other again. But SURPISE!!!!!!!
Very fun and sexy short story that made me smile. I love CeeCee's sass and how Bradley doesn't back down. They have a great chemistry and banter. The author was able to create such believable characters in such a short story. And it didn't feel rushed. Really enjoyed it.
Looking for you dose of Mountain Men and Christmas cheer? Look no further! This is a hot and steamy short read to remind us to always find time for a little “Merry Christmas” in our lives.
***I received this ARC from the Author at no cost ***
Things go from dismal to extra cheerful for CeeCee and Bradley as their stressful Holiday travels go from fighting to loss of clothing in this sexy, humorous, sweet Holiday shortie! So fun to read about these two! I could have read about them all day!
This is a great holiday stort read. Perfect for those crazy December days where you only have a few moments to get your story fix. The Christmas pun game is strong and the steam is sizzling. It's a fun story of first meetings, falling fast, and serendipity!
First of all, that cover- I love it! Ha, and once you find out what the title means, it's hillarious. Perfect hot little holiday story. Full of candy cane licking, and Merry Christmassing, and coincidences. This will keep you warm by the fire for sure!
A short sweet fabulous read as always from Frankie :-) Both Cece and Bradley’s flights are cancelled and they fight for the last ticket on the plane! What could possibly happen ;-) Great book and highly recommended
Cute holiday romance with a twist. Ceecee is spunky. Bradley is mountain manly. Their chance meeting turns to more than they even realized. I was smiling the whole time.
