Calluna: A Christmas Present for Klaus is a short bonus story that comes after Calluna and Fangs Bear'd and is part of the Silver Springs shared universe.
USA Today Bestselling author, Jewels Arthur, writes steamy paranormal/fantasy RH Romances, that often feature very sassy females. Much like herself. She lives in Central Illinois with her husband, daughter, thirteen-year-old kitty, and a pup named Eevee.
Swoons are her jam. She spends all her time watching TV/movies, reading books, and listening to music that makes her swoony. When she isn't doing that she is drooling over her fictional characters or making book-related graphics.
Jewels has thousands of story ideas always flowing through her brain and she can't wait to share them all with her readers. One thing is for sure, they will all feature steam, smut, and swoons.
It's kinda weird. It's not that I hate Christmas and I'm for sure not a Grinch, but it never used to be my favorite time of the year. It was mostly a time of obligations and sitting up and playing nice even when family members said stupid things. However, this year I feel it. I feel the Christmas cheer. The lights decorating the houses make me happy and I'm really looking forward to have some nice dinners and watch all those lovely programs.
And this novella certainly fitted in perfectly! It was a true Christmas novella as Christmas novella's should be. Let me start with saying that the book doesn't have much of a plot. There are a few things happening, but it's not some big story arc that leads somewhere. It's mostly just watching an amazing group of people making each other happy and sharing important and lovely moments together. And that happy family includes all the pets.
Because what would a Calluna story be without the pets? I have to admit that I had expected Klaus to play a slightly bigger role in this story, after all he did give his name to the title of this story. But, I read the entire story with a huge smile on my face from start to finish. It's mostly because it's very clearly an Arthur. It has some really hot sexy moments, it has some inner conflicts and doubts and it has most of all a lot of love and nice surprises.
I also liked how each of the guys had a point of view chapter in this novella. I think there are a few storylines that we will dive into more in the next book that's going to be released, but it was nice to see where they all stood now, how they fit into this relationship, where they still have work to do. And, I can't wait to meet the lucky girl who's gonna be dating Calluna's brothers. I mean, we all know that they will get their own reverse harem story, right?
Arthur's Christmas offering bring the whole gang together to celebrate Christmas in this fun Christmas offering that all about the moments that the holiday brings. Back in the infamous pet shop where it all begin the gang are busy with the holidays as a certain ferret wrecks havoc with his ways. Meanwhile the guys are up to something with their various endeavours and it makes for a lot of surprises and good old holiday cheer. The snippets of their days in the lead up to Christmas is perfect as we got to see everyone in their element without being forced to change their ways for the holiday.
Calluna is still quirky as ever and there is a certain line that takes the cake literally but the guys know her and give her a Christmas that she won’t forgot. Rhys and Lars make an appearance in the book as well and help make the magic happen that only happens at Christmas. It's nice Christmas bonus that wraps the last couple of books and give everyone a reason to smile.
This is one of my favorite series. Calluna is back with her sexy men. So she has her first Christmas with the guys and their relationship is going to the next level. Calluna's brothers tell her that they can no longer keep Klaus the ferret. Then there is another ferret that Calluna takes in and name her Jingle bell. However, Elias has something special planned for Calluna. I love how the guys work together to keep it a secret. You know Calluna and her smart, sassy mouth always says something funny. Calluna is so supportive of her men and this here is the most amazing thing about their dynamic. I hope to see them make cameos in other books to come as well as another for them.
This book it’s steamy, funny and christmassy, a little bit of everything and together makes it perfect. I love this book, I love Calluna so much, she’s one of my favorite girls from Silver Springs and having more books with her and her mates is a amazing cause you don’t get tired of her, she just keeps getting better. I like how we also get to see another characters we love like Reg and Lars and how life is for them. If you’re looking for a sassy queen, just read Calluna’s books cause you won’t be disappointed, she’s amazing.
Short and sweet that's what this book is. Overcrowding at Callunas flat leads to a new move for her, Elias, Rhett, Damian and Landyn. With plenty of smoking hot sexy times in between. Cuteness overload comes in the form of ferrets Klaus & Jingle........ ahhhh too sweet! A nice addition to the series and I really enjoyed reading it
I loved this Quick and wonderful Christmas story. Jewels had all of her wonderful sass and humor in this little beauty. And of course there's plenty of steam! any Jewels Arthur lover and Calluna fan better pick this one up!
I love finding out more about Calluna and her mates they are an amazing group. To see the interaction between not only the guys with her but each other is great. I’m glad to see her relationship with her brothers slowly developing.
This short story sees Calling & her mates getting ready for Christmas. But they are also seeing that 5 adults & Carolina's many pets need more room than a two bedroom apartment can provide.
A super sexy, super sweet Christmas tale. Her mates will do anything for love and wow what a Christmas gift!! so wonderful to be back with Calluna and her sexy mates. ohh and will there be baby ferrets in the future! I adore the cameos of other wonderful silversprings locals! Love silversprings especially Jewels books!!
This amazing short story was brought to you by a phenomenal author. And I approve this message. Lol. But seriously, Calluna and her mates are happy. Well and truly happy. They all believe their lives are going amazingly, and nothing could get better.... except maybe a place to live that isn’t so small. Callunas love of animals and her harem of men has made things a bit tight as far as living situations go. Her men however are determined to convince her, by any sexy means necessary, that looking into a bigger place is a good idea. Not above bribing her with the ability to help more animals, Calluna quickly concedes they can look around. Now she’s a woman after my own heart. Klaus on the other hand isn’t having such a great time. He’s causing a little chaos for Cals brothers, and not a good kind. Poor klaus has to find a new home, just like Calluna. Who knows, maybe they’ll both find their new homes at the same time.
This was cute, and very sweet, and had a good amount of steam too! It just felt … idk. Against the grain of the character Calluna was in the first book? There was far too much mushy, gooey, happy lovey dovey holiday magic for what she would’ve tolerated in the first book; at the very least “too much too soon” I guess? Not enough perceived time had passed between her being anti-sappy and sheer mountain of mush this novella was lol. It also made Lars seem like even more of an asshole by contrast 😅 Which he doesn’t need help with lol.
But! It was well written though and I did enjoy it! It just wasn’t what I was expecting for this character. And the ferret thing was adorable.
Calluna and her men are the best along with her children (all the animals). I love how outspoken Calluna is sometimes, she honestly has no filter she just says it outright and even manages to embarrass some of her men in the process. It also brought in another two of my favourite characters, Reg and Lars. Man, I love those guys!
It's a short, fun and somewhat steamy read and one where I love the fact it keeps some of the m/m elements between two of the guys. Can't wait to see if we get more about these characters in the future.
Really cute, fun, quick read with a faint holiday feel to it! My first my Jewels Arthur, but I plan to back track and read Calluna. I enjoyed the dialogue the most, finding the author did a good job of getting me up to speed and keeping me entertained by showing lots of conversations.
There’s also lots of heat and all I can say there is … good for Calluna! Get it, girl. Loved the inclusion of lots of animals who definitely had their own personalities and the small-town feel.
Well done.
4 stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Note: I listened to the audiobook and the narration was great!
This is one of 2 Christmas novellas released in the Silver Springs neighbourhood this year.
This is a short catch up with Calluna and her men, along with Reg and Lars from Fangs Bear'd. They're quickly realising that 5 of them, plus an assorted menagerie of magical animals don't fit very well in a small flat, so the guys decided to persuade Calluna to move.
It's a short, hot story, but I love catching up with the inhabitants of Silver Springs.
Calluna is back and it’s the most wonderful time of the year. And it’s even more special, she’s got her mates, her animals, the relationship with her brothers is growing, and her best friend has found love and mate as well.
All that’s missing is a new home for Klaus the ferret as he’s not the best fit for Calluna’s brothers. Her mates want a bigger house and after some convincing, Calluna might be willing. Christmas is time for magic and miracles. Can Calluna’s mates make them happen for her?
Totally swoon worthy while being sexy and hot at the same time. An exciting story right from the start that will have you guessing till the end. Landyn, Elias, Rhett and Damian who I love are back and have a suprice installed for calluna that will have you laughing through till the end , With her loveble animals Jake, Lina and there quirky ways and a glimpse of some of the loveble characters of silver springs and I found my self loving every minute.
It's Calluna's first Christmas with her sexy mates. Her mates decide to do a big surprise for her including Lars, Reg and her two brothers. Her brothers who are taking care of the ferret, Klaus, have come to the conclusion that they can no longer take care of him. There's a female ferret, Jingle Bells, now in the picture as well. Is everyone going to have a Merry Christmas including Klaus and Jingle Bells? You'll have to find out :)
Calluna snd her guys were one of my favourites from this universe...I loved reading a continuation to their initial story and see how they are coping with their relationship and how Calluna is getting on with her brothers. This book has it all...laughs, lots of steamy scenes snd lots of animals. I really enjoy reading these quick stories from this unique universe, they never disappoint in the entertainment, the drama, the steaminess and the love! Bring on more.
This was a great catch up with Calluna and her mates. They have all settled in together but her 2 bed apartment just isn't big enough so her mates go about convincing Calluna that they need a bigger house - cue lots of naked convincing! Klaus the ferret is destroying Calluna's brothers house - if only they could find him a friend...
I absolutely enjoyed this Christmas novella. It's a cute follow up of Calluna and her guys. With plenty of steamy romance an unexpected surprise Klaus and for Calluna to definitely get you into the holidays spirit. Overall a great read. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
Gotta love Calluna since she's a curvy girl. I love that so much and her hunky men. I love that there are multiple caracters coming in this book since it's Calluna, her guys and the guys from Fangs and Bear'd. They are trying to persuade Calluna to move. And things get spicy! Loving this so much and the whole Silver Springs series for that matter. Reading previous books from Calluna is a must.
This was an amazing read, that I finished in one sitting, there was no putting it down. It moves along at a fantastic pace making for an enjoyable read. You will fall in love with these characters no matter what happens and the story will grab you and keep you reading till the end. This is a must read, no doubt about it.
A great short novella to show readers a little more into what has been happening with Calluna and her mates. I love the ever growing character and world building of the Silver Springs universe. Even though this story is short, there is still tons of steamy moments, and I loved reading about the growing support and love between all of them.
A hot Christmas romance that only Silver Springs can give us. Calluna and her four mates still have more stories to tell. We get to catch up with them and see what is the next step in their lives. We also get to revisit several others from previous stories. Expect plenty of naughtiness and lots of romance when her mates will do anything to see their mate happy.
A short holiday, steamy romance. If you've been reading the Silver Springs Spell Library series, then you'll be familiar with these characters. I felt like this was a sweet, and steamy update set at Christmas time.
I received a free copy of this read at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
