Dark Christmas Duet #2
Naughty
Naughty elves out for their own gain get Santa and his mighty cane.
All I wanted to do was go back and fix one mistake. Okay, maybe several were made. Now, I'm trapped with the man I tried to ruin, and he has every intention of seeing me thoroughly punished for my crimes. But if he ever realizes how much I’m enjoying his strict discipline, I’ll end up on the naughty list forever.
He's made the list, and checked it more than twice. Now I just have to convince him even naughty little elves deserve a happily ever after.

About the author
Vivian Murdoch
79 books1,165 followersVivian is a sassy romance writer that likes to brat just as much as she writes. As a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants author, she's usually working furiously into the night when her creative juices hit her the hardest. Her books like to take you to the dark side and force you to dip your toes in, but don't drown you. She loves writing alphaholes, anti-heroes, and heroes you just love to hate. She likes to try out everything she's putting her heroines through, so the phrase “for science” is used in her house a lot! When she's not writing, you can probably find her playing Animal Crossing or tormenting her cats and Husdom.

ღ I know it’s bit late in the year to be reading Christmas stories, but this one kinda slip past me …. So it’s Christmas in May
A friend of mine recommended this book to me. Lord have mercy I had no idea what I was signing up for when I got this book
This is a great Syfy read & great world builder!
Book one was Krampus, Kris’s cousin & now we will find out more about Kris Kringle & his Naughty side…. Damn who knew that Kris Kringle could be so sexy
She’s dangerous, and not just cuz he caught her toying with the list. Every second he is with her, he feels like he is losing his self. She is his naughty Christmas elf, but she also is trying to sabotage Christmas
Noel dedicated her whole life to bringing down his line, but now that she is face to face with him, he's asking me to trust him.
He is at his wit’s end- Who can Kris trust? How many people are in on this entire plot? By the end of this tale all these questions will be answered
What a deliciously dark & sexy Lil story! I wouldn’t mind reading Red’s story, but hopefully, we do not have to wait until next Christmas to get his story

*Spoiler*
As advised in the inside cover, this must be read after reading 'Nice' otherwise the storyline has potential to create a frustrating confusion.
Being the duet to 'Nice' our story takes on the darker side of sex which may, or may not, disturb some readers.
Having said that, Murdoch's ability to draw the reader into a voyeuristic visual in those scenes, can certainly make one's 'e-reader' tingle...
Even though I felt that this book didn't achieve the same depth and complexity of 'Nice', following Kris' dilemma over filling hereditary 'boots' that he didn't want, tears at the heartstrings.
We learn that he is little more than a pleasure seeking whorehound who has found himself no longer being satisfied with that life; that he is empty inside, and haunted by the memory of someone he feels is the only one who can fill that void.
Being forced into a role that requires him to always consider the ramifications of his actions, he has to find out who has tampered with the 'Naughty or Nice List', and why they are determined to destroy Christmas. In the process, Kris discovers that he must let go of his selfish, self-serving nature, and put his pseudomemories aside to mend the hurt that he caused: It really is time to put his big boy pants on, and save not just himself.
In the vein of 'Nice' (pun completely intended), perhaps it pays to be a 'good girl' because things taste so much better... though being punished can bring a deliciousness of a different kind... enter of your own volition...
Merry Christmas!

Oh, the heat is HOT, and the physical chemistry is captivating so be careful you may just get burned all the heat coming off these pages. There were some "oh no" "oh wow" " what the what" moments and add in uncanny mishaps, and shenanigans the good kind that makes you keep turning the pages till last page has been turned. Kris Kringle wow… I liked the first book and I like this one as well but lets talk about trust issues with both of the flawed characters there is something/someone throwing a monkey wrench so to speak into it all and once discovered leaves both of them surprised but is it enough for him to believe in Noel and is it enough to for Noel to trust him and can they find happiness?

Wow! Who knew a little story about Kris Kringle could be like this!!! I enjoyed this sexy little romp with Kris and Noel. It was engaging and the characters were fleshed out very well. I also loved seeing Asmon and Caitlyn again. Asmon just cracks me up at times. I think this one had more emotions welling up in me than the first one did. Kris and Noel both have some serious issues with trust to work through and when the bad guy is discovered, Kris is going to have to believe in Noel!!! Will he? What a deliciously dark little story! And I loved it!

The last 20% of this book redeemed it for me. Personally I couldn't get into the intense punishment without an established connection between characters but I was expecting that so I'm not complaining. Finally some things are explained that I just couldn't figure out on my own. I don't like that I couldn't figure it out but that's my ego not the books fault. It's well written. Its twisted. It made me shudder a time or two. If you're into it you'll enjoy it.

The first book in this series introduces us to dark and dirty Krampus who is filled with his own demons and deep feels. Book 2 gives us a misunderstood new Santa with hot, dirty tastes and his own demons to battle. I have to admit, prior to this book I wasn't sure I could get into a sexy Santa. But I was Oh, so wrong! Kris Kringle is sexy, sweet in his own way, and just so dirty.
I did not see the twists coming in the plot and I am so excited to see where this world goes.
This read is a fast burning read with loads of juice scenes and all the feels!

We got a bit of both the good and the bad with Naughty. Poor Noel doesn't know what she started when she got caught fudging the books, as Kris sees it. Her punishments are agony to a degree, she also craved more of Kris but she still had Marcus to deal with. We also get to see Asmon and Caitlyn again, which made me happy. I think there might be another story in the future, at least I hope so, I want to see what happens with Red! A lot of hapenings surprised me, I liked most of them and am so happy that Noel and Kris got their HEA.

I loved this steamy, dark take on Santa. I loved the way it brought everything together and answered all the questions I had while reading both books in this series. There were surprises, a lot of sexy scenes, and even tender moments that left me wanting more. There are a few stories I read every Christmas, mostly 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and A Christmas Carrol, and I'm adding two more books to that rotation. This duet is the perfect way to keep me warm on those cold winter nights.

This review is for the duet but better to post the review on all the book options. Read these as individual books, both are amazing reads.
You have the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’, both of which are deliciously masterful with their tools 😜. In more ways than one. There will be no spoilers here, but if you love Santa/Krampus books then you need to read this. Loved both stories so much, and can’t wait for the next instalment.

There is so much going on in this story, it’s hard to put down!
Kris finally gets to share his tale, and we learn who Noel is and why she has been up to her mischievous ways. Kris is so much more than I was expecting. Kinder, smarter, hotter. Whole Santa package!
I know there is so much more to this story, and I can’t wait, but I loved every minute of Kris and Noel together!

We have been told that Santa is a jolly fat man with a twinkle in his eye and a joyous ho-ho-ho laugh. What if all that is totally wrong? A stressed-out angry Santa, an elf working against him and trouble all around. Read this to find out if Christmas can be saved!

The second book in the Dark Christmas Duet series a well written Christmas short story that held my interest throughout. I enjoyed reading Kris and Noel's story. I would like to see Red and Angelica get their own story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hot Santa
Not at all what I was expecting but I really enjoyed this book. Who thought Santa could be so hot and that he would have such a way of dealing with naughty elves!

Loved it to death!!!!
I couldn't put the book down. Really looking forward to what she has in store for the reindeer. Happy to see Kris get his head out of his ass and get a happy ending.

Wow! That's really all I have to say. This book was absolutely amazing! Great characters that were well established. A great story line. And the "smut"? Absolutely intoxicating!
The only thing I wish is that the book was longer but it is a perfect quick, can't put down read!

Red this on a plane…
I read this while on a plane, and wow — it was something HOT. I had to wonder how many passengers could tell by my open mouth (and drool) what kind of book I was reading! (lol) Very cool North Pole/Santa mythology. Very much enjoyed this read.
