Black Hollow #19

The Krampus' Heart

Rate this book
Klaus Nichols is finally getting his dream of opening his own toy and skateboard store. His Krampus family has been in the toy business for generations back in Germany, so making children happy is in his blood. Contrary to what lore says, Krampuses don’t haul misbehaving children to hell or beat them with sticks. Thankfully, in Black Hollow, he’s accepted and supported.

Carys Evans, enchantress and guidance counselor at Black Hollow Academy, has been tapped as the chairperson of this year’s Christmas festival in Black Hollow. Carys wants this to be the best festival the town has ever seen. She even has the new toy store owner volunteer to handle the Secret Santa program, or so she thinks.

When Klaus and Carys meet, the experience is less than stellar for both of them. They soon find out that first impressions are sometimes wrong. As the store opening and Christmas festival approach, they find out that danger is lurking and Klaus is the target. Joining together, will they be able to make both of their goals successful or will this Christmas be memorable for the wrong reasons?

Monsters need love too. Krampus Klaus Nichols is tired of getting a bad rap. Moving to Black Hollow is the best thing that’s ever happened to him. Acceptance is a wonderful thing. Klaus is sweet and sexy and an all-around good guy. He just has an issue with a certain fat dude and a family feud. When Klaus is sucked into the Black Hollow Christmas events he is less than thrilled.
I had a blast watching Christmas (and Cupid) work their magic on a grumpy Krampus and a scared enchantress. This story is sure to leave you with a happy heart.

Excellent Story

This was a very exciting story. It was great to watch this couple come together to fight the bad people. I love the Black Hollow town and its residents and how they always appear in each story to have the other characters backs.

I always love the way the author brings you into the story and you can feel the point when the characters fall in love with each other.

Love It!!
