Nicked: St Nick wasn't quite what she expected
St Nicholas was not quite what Kelly Moore had expected.
For one thing, he was far too sexy for his own good and wears biker leathers instead of a flannel suit. For another, he traded in his sleigh for a growly Harley.
All Kelly wants is her family for Christmas. Can St Nicholas deliver?

What a delightful short story!
Saint Nick is certainly not your merry old man in some serious need to start a diet. No, this guy would be in many dreamy wish-lists for sure.
I laughed a lot and aawwwnnn a lot. There is an element of maybe-real-maybe-magic that I appreciated, and at the end of the day, this story is as much about second chances as it is following one's magical heart.
I do wonder though, does she have creative friends or friends in high places? 'Cause I can totally picture "Santa" having a second job when he's not working on Christmas day XD

A Christmas to remember and a Santa "Nick" Kelly will never forget. Who would have thought a second chance to live life and really be would come in the most unexpected package. This was a gift read that made me laugh, cry, and swoon.

Odd little story
This was an odd little Christmas short story. I found the dialogue and narrative stiff, but it fits with the historical fiction that the author usually writes.

This was beautiful!
A very touching beautiful and amusing story. Nick was hysterical. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it as a clean holiday story.
