I’m currently obsessed with everything Skye Moon.

[Annette Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pretty sure holiday books aren't suppose to be this filthy but, whew chile, A Wicked Christmas was good and filthy! Noah and Alexis were true enemies and how the hell they managed to become lovers is beyond me considering the amount of dislike they had for each other. But, Christmas miracles do happen because, these two found out they had more in common with one another than disdain. Once they got past the constant snipping and pettiness, they decided to just stop fighting their attraction and go for it. And, honey, they went for it! I am becoming a huge fan of Skye Moon's. I'm loving everything I read by her. A Wicked Christmas was great holiday read. I highly recommend it.

Well then!! 🥵💦🎄 If he not nailing me to the window with premium holiday peen like Noah did Lexi I don’t want him!!! This was a spicy holiday read and I was here for the exchanging of gifts 🎁 🐱 🍆 🤧 Lexi and Noah were enemies to the 10th power. They did not get along at all! This was mainly because they both had dominant personalities and neither was willing to compromise. They met their alpha match! After being forced into close proximity during a cabin trip that delayed the rest of their friends, they could only avoid the elephant in the room for so long. When these two cracked, they scrambled that egg HUNTY! This was a good read and I wouldn’t mind an update to see how these two ended up later down the line. This is why I’m an advocate for an epilogue. Just give me a 3-5 page “two years later” and I’m a happy camper!

Sexemies

This was a short enemies to lovers story and I liked every minute. Lexi and Noah were sworn enemies, but find themselves alone together for a couple of days and all of that pent up anger turns out to be simmering chemistry. These two could not get enough of each other once they finally got out of their own way.

This was a really cute and short, enemies to lovers holiday read. Imagine hating someone's guts and the next thing you know, they in your guts. Y'all have to check this book out!!

I loved this holiday short. Alexis was so damn stubborn but Noah didn’t care he was knocking those walls down (both 😈🤣).

daaaaaaammmn

This was fun and sexy as heck. I absolutely enjoyed every minute. The pacing was good, the writing was easy to read, and had just the right amount of all the elements. The banter, the chemistry, the details on the smex, the emotions. So glad I finally got my first Skye Moon book in. Can’t wait to dive into more!!

[Toya Davis-Stokley · Rating 5 out of 5]

These two control freaks cannot stand to be around each other, as neither one will back down! The insults and giving it to the other tit for tat, was hysterical! They would never willingly be together without their friends Derrick and Nia, until they are forced to be! I was certain that somebody was going to be tossed headfirst into the snow, with all that bickering they had going on! 😂 But, once they took a step back without all the aggression, they both realized the intense attraction that had always been there. Honey, when they figured it out, it got hot and heavy quick! Damn Noah, I wanna fight with you too! 😜 Fun, sexy holiday read. Enjoyed it!

Great Read!!!

This was a great read. Enemies turned to Lovers is the best story. Alexis and Noah was a trip from beginning to end. I’m glad they got over arguing long enough to get busy. Lol. I’m glad they got their happy ending as well. This was a great short story that i really enjoyed.

This was a cute Christmas.

[Pamela qp_reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am here for the petty, the snappiness, and the dislike. I love this enemies to lovers short, ‘cause when it switches up? Toss another log on the fire and let the sparks fly!!!

[Monique · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forced proximity “enemies” to lovers?…sure thing! I giggled at them fussing at each other throughout the whole book because it wasn’t anything but built up tension. Alexis irked me just a little bit because she definitely had a lot of attitude lol. But Noah had the right fix for that😏These were two headstrong people who I know will be a time once the vacation is over. I’m sad that we don’t get to see it. But that’s how you know a novella is good when it leaves you wanting more in a good way.

[BetweentheCoversLiterary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes hunny! Who doesn’t love a good enemies to lovers trope and this one was perfect. I knew Alexis and Noah was set up from the beginning by their friends. The more they both let their guards down magic was happening all around them. I’m just happy neither one of them blew it with them Alpha personalities. Definitely can’t wait for what’s next

Petty

Alexis was just petty. She reminded me of the girls in school who likes a boy but you give him hell until he finally puts you in your place. Noah was not taking the disrespect from her tail. I loved it. First book by this author.

[Candace · Rating 4 out of 5]

A wicked Christmas

This short story was everything. The chemistry between Lexi and Noah was everything. I'm was happy that they stop arguing and realize they was meant for each other.

[Capri’sBookIsland · Rating 4 out of 5]

Noah and Alexis literally had me laughing out loud plenty of times while reading this. The mini arguments and banter between the two of them was hilarious. The pacing of this was perfect I wish it was longer I was enjoying their dynamic. Sometimes you just need that act right 😛

Loved this book

[Carla · Rating 4 out of 5]

“A Wicked Christmas: A Holiday Novelette” was the first book that I have read by Skye Moon, but it will not be my last. I love the enemies to lovers trope and this book did not disappoint in that aspect. It was definitely a fun, hot read and I cannot wait to check out more of this author’s work.

A super cute, delightfully filthy way to get into the holiday spirit.

[Crystal (Melanatedreader) Forte' · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute Christmas read

This was a quick holiday romance with a tad of spice… I loved the enemies to lovers theme
They was going tit for tat and I was here for all of the banter ❤️

[IslandGirl Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short, spicy holiday story with a friends to lovers trope. Noah and Alexis are both strong willed and successful and hate each other. They’re constantly at each other’s throat but an attraction simmers underneath. They find themselves alone at a rental cabin and all hell breaks loose

[Parker | simplybibliophiles · Rating 5 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | “I cursed myself every day for deciding to take her out years ago, thinking there could be something between us. WE didn’t even make it past the first round of drinks, and ever since that night, she and I had been mortal enemies.”

Short. Sweet. SPICY🔥🔥🔥 This was enemies to lovers done right for the Christmas season. I mean the enemies to lovers transition was jumping off the page. Noah and Alexis literally could not stand each other. But when the sexual tension started sexual tensioning….they were both goners. LOVE LOVE LOVE

We wish you a Merry Christmas…panting against the glass….those who get it get it 👀…and those who don’t…

Also, Skye Moon has a gift because considering how short this was, she still was able to pack in enough plot to make the story not feel like “I just got here. What happened? Where did everybody go?” Even though, obviously I did wanted it to be longer because it was so good.

Also, the UNO game scene…I was crying laughing
…

Despite the fact that their best friends are married to one another, Noah and Alexis cannot stand each other. Actually “cannot stand each other” is the understatement of the Christmas season.

Yet, when their mutual friends’ travel plans get delayed, this leaves Noah and Alexis to fend (and argue) for themselves.

That is until hateful banter leads to lingering glances and sexual tension…and next thing you know, two more names are definitely going to be added to the naughty list for having A Wicked Christmas.

Hot and Hilarious

I love when an author can weave a full story within a little novella! Like a gift unwrapped, Skye Moon’s: A Wicked Christmas conjured a tale of where the boundaries between enemies and lovers blurred, igniting temptation and passion that stoked the flames of desire. This baby was a good and nasty enemies-to-lovers story that brewed with a potent blend of disdain and humor between Noah and Lexi. He could stand her and she couldn’t stand him and their fiery banter danced between domination and submission as their animosity gave way to an irresistible attraction they could no longer deny.

This joint was hella sexy and a fun read, nicely written and depicted and is a new holiday read for me.

[Charmy Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love a good enemies to lovers and this didn't disappoint. Noah and Alexis are just that. Although their best friends are in a relationship, Noah and and Alexis would be happy to never cross paths. The four of them are supposed to spend Christmas together when their best friends call to let them they've missed their flight and will be a day or two late to the festivities. This forces Alexis and Noah to have to ride to the cabin together and generally be one another's only company until their friends arrive.

Of course the two end up a little more friendly than they intended and surprisingly might want to explore what that might mean. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Noah and Alexis. For this to be a novella the pacing was great and I didn't feel like the story was rushed in any way. I was definitely looking forward to them getting out of their own way and realizing how they felt about one another. This is a holiday read I will definitely be recommending to friends.

[Ronnie Renee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok definitely an enemies to lovers or not so maybe 😝. Noah and Alexis stranded at a ski resort were enemies for years after one date. But as we know there is a thin line between love and hate and some where in between you get hot spicy passion.
Even though Noah & Alexis didn’t know it, they were a match made in heaven. Both alphas, both spit fires one not wanting to give control and the other to get the control. You know the banter between to two was hella funny. Neither one letting up. That’s until ….
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a Sky Moon book and this was a good start. I definitely want to dig further into her catalog.

Taming Alexis

Alexis and Noah had always gotten along like oil and water. They were meeting Derrick and Nia for a Christmas getaway. They'd rented a beautiful home and planned a Christmas feast. Derrick and Nia missed their plane so Noah had to put up with Alexis for 45 minutes in the car. Then Derrick and Nia don't arrive that night. The next day they won't answer their phones. Will Noah and Alexis kill each other before Christmas is over? Fun,hot short story with enjoyable characters.

[Kimyan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good enemies to lovers book

Four friends are set to go to a cabin for Christmas. But when a plane is missed Alexis and Noah find themselves together, problem is they hate each. But sparks fly as they try to avoid each other. And the one thing they thought would never happen does. They begin to not only get alone but realize they are attracted to each
Will they stay enemies or succumb to the desire that's building.
This novella was a good example of how mistaken opinions can mess up a good relationship

Merry Lustmas

Enemies turned lovers, Noah and Alexis make it to their Friendmas getaway with just the two of them and sparks ignite within them they both didn’t see coming. Surprising themselves when lust is something they both encounter after one night, things go from throwing insults down each other throats to cumming down each other throats. Love everything I read by this author so far. Great holiday read

[Camisha Crisp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hotter than fish grease!

You ever hated someone so much that it turns to hot lust, with a side of love? Nope me neither, but for Alexis and Noah a long-standing feud comes to a head when the two of them are all alone with no one to turn to but each other. Skye Moon writes a cast of characters that will have you cracking up from the first argument to the last. Warm up your night by reading A Wicked Christmas. Skye Moon doesn’t disappoint.
