His First Time: Nick

Rate this book
I’ve been called a womanizing jerk too many times to count.
Perhaps it’s true, but I like my life just the way it is.
Will one night as Santa change my beautifully wicked world?


I’m Nick Wallace. You’ve probably never heard of me. But if you have, I’ll brace myself for the incoming slap.

My older brother is the famous race car driver, Beau Wallace. Yes, that Beau Wallace. Nothing I do will ever top him, so I gave up trying a long time ago. I’m the screw-up of our family, and I’ve learned to accept it.

When I get tricked into playing Santa Claus for a charity event, I decide I’ll make the most of it by spending a steamy night of passion in a lonely single-mom’s bed.

Freckle-faced Tyson and his gorgeous, skittish mother, Kelsey, are trying to wiggle their way inside my ice-cold heart, but even the real Santa couldn’t create that kind of Christmas miracle.

Will a special Christmas wish help Nick find true love, or is he already too far gone for holiday magic to work? Find out now in His First Time: Nick.

Here is a Top 10 list from Ann about her likes, dislikes, and oddities:

1. I despise whipped cream. There, I admitted it in writing. Let the ridiculing begin.
2. Even though I have lived as far south as Key Largo, Florida and as far north as Maine, I landed in the middle.
3. If I don't make a conscious effort not to, I will drink nothing but tea morning, noon and night. Hot tea, sweet tea, green tea––I love it all.
4. There doesn't seem to be much in life that is better than coming home to a couple of big dogs who are overjoyed to see me. My other family members usually show significantly less enthusiasm about my return.
5. Singing in my bestest, loudest voice does not make my family put on their happy faces. This includes the big, loving dogs referenced above.
6. Yes, I am aware that bestest is not a word.
7. Dorothy was right. There's no place like home.
8. All of the numerous bottles in my shower must be lined up with their labels facing out. It makes me feel a little like Julia Roberts' mean husband from the movie 'Sleeping with the Enemy,' but I can't seem to control this particular quirk.
9. I love, love, love finding a great bargain.
10. Did I mention that I hate whipped cream? It makes my stomach churn to look at it, touch it, smell it, or even think about it. Great––now I'm thinking about it. Ick!

Deliciously smutty. Nick 🥵 definitely made this book wonderful. It was a steamy Christmas read. But on a completely opposite note, I loved this as well because Ty had such a beautiful soul, what a great kid!

A Cute, Festive Story

This is a cute and festive story that's quick and easy to read. Nick gets roped into playing Santa but gets MUCH more than he bargained for. This gets steamy with plenty of humor tossed in.

I've read the other books in the series. It's not necessary to enjoy it but the inside jokes will be funnier if you have more context. And if you have read the others in this series, just know that Charlotte strikes again! 🐶 LOL! 🐶


UPDATED 11/2021:

It's a fun read to revisit. 🎄💝🎅🐶🔥💜

Nick has had a hard time growing up in the shadows of his older brother Beau.
Beau is a famous race car driver and Nick, well Nick use to work on his “pit crew”
until he became a car salesman.
Life's bonuses usually occur when you just happen to be in the right place at the
right time.
Nick is asked to play Santa for a charity event; begrudgingly he excepts.
Little did he know that playing “Ol' Saint Nick” would change his life forever.
Don't miss out on this heartwarming story. It's sweet, honest and very satisfying.

Saint Nick falls in love for the first time

Nick is the fourth book in the His First Time series. It is the story of Nick Wallace and Kelsey and her cute little grown-up man Tyson.
Nick is the younger brother of famous racecar driver Beau Wallace. He had been part of Beau's pit crew being a tire changer. But recently he decided to leave to settle into one place and got a job selling high end cars at a local dealership. Nick also got wrangled into playing Santa for a fundraising event. He is not sure how it happened but he is blaming Charlotte, the woman could get any man to do anything for her. That also includes getting him to adopt Twinkles before the day is over.
Kelsey is a single mother to sweet and very adorable Tyson. She was widowed shortly after Tyson was born when her husband had an aneurysm. Unfortunately she has not other family either as both her parents and sister were killed when she was in high school. This holiday season Kelsey has taken Tyson to a charity Santa Claus event in hopes of finding out what he wants this year. When they are getting close to the front of the line Kelsey is getting some tingling of her lady parts from the handsome man in the fuzzy red suit. All she can think is that maybe she needs a bit of fun time if she is having those thoughts about Santa. Tyson sees Santa by himself telling his mom to "stay here". It seems Tyson's wish is something that he wants to keep a secret between him and Santa. It appears to be something that Santa is not sure he can do by the look on his face either.
After the event Kelsey and Tyson are at their car looking at a flat tire when Nick comes out and knows he cannot leave a woman stranded. So he jumps into action and helps with the last lug nut and a speedy change. Afterwards Tyson invites him to their house which Kelsey also extends after a few moments. Nick accepts and picks up the pizza on the way. So it is pizza and then a Christmas movie, like a family having a fun evening.
Once you find out what Tyson's wish is you realize that maybe Nick is able to grant it, and a whole lot more.

This is a charming short story that I enjoyed reading. The story-line was nicely paced and developed and the characters were entertaining but also had some depth to them. This is just a feel good story that will leave a smile on your face at the end.

Nick somehow got roped into playing Santa for a charity event...he was not a dog lover, and the charity was a dog rescue, and he wasn't a kid-person either...but the hostess of the event, Charlotte charmed him into it, and even gave him his own elf for the event, in the guise of a boxer named Twinkles...and left him with hordes of snot-nosed kids and their grumpy parents...but then he sees, Kelsey at the end of his line holding the hand of a precocious little boy...but Tyson had a special mission for Santa so wouldn't let his mom know what he wanted...but leaving later that night WITH THE DOG that he planned on returning to shelter in morning, he sees Kelsey and Tyson with a flat tire, so he helps and couldn't help but be charmed by the pair...ending up buying pizza nd having dinner with them...but you will need to read this holiday treat to see what happens...I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a hot shot of romance quickie and the first story I have read by these authors. This is the quick story of Nick Wallace and Kelsey & Tyson. Nick is the brother of a famous race car driver. He has spent his entire life in the shadow of his brother. He can never live up the legend of his brother so he has stopped trying. Roped into playing Santa for a charity event, Nick meets Tyson when he sits on Santa's knee to ask for his secret wish. Tyson is selflessly asking for something for his Mom instead of toys for himself. Nick and Kelsey meet outside when he stops to help with a flat tire.

Both Kelsey and Nick have had hardships in their lives. They both have walls built up and plenty of baggage to overcome. None of that stands a chance against the cuteness and love of Tyson. This is quick read that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Santa to the rescue
This book is about Nick and Kelsey. There is something in his personality that makes Nick unable to say ‘no’ to a pretty woman. This time, he’s dressed as Santa, entertaining some kids. And his brother Beau didn’t help the situation either, volunteering him to do it! But with the misery of it all, a beautiful woman holding the hand of a young child catches his eye, and it absolutely knocks the wind out of him.
Kelsey has seriously and officially sworn off men for a while. She thinks it’s best for everyone if she remains single. While she would love for her son Tyson to have a father figure in his life, she thinks she’s too damaged to have any kind of meaningful long-term relationship with a man. And a one-night stand isn’t a viable option for her either. But when this not-so-secret Santa comes to her rescue, will she be able to resist his charm?

This is a wonderful story about Tyson wanting his mother, Kelsey to be happy and not lonely. Tyson asks Nick who is playing Santa Claus to bring his mom a husband so she will be happy and not lonely. Nick sees Kelsey and is intrigued by her but by the time he is done they are gone. He gets outside to find Kelsey and Tyson have a flat tire on their car. He offers to help and then they join Nick for pizza. Nick is very taken with both of them. He keeps trying to help by getting Tyson into a Karate class and slowly he keeps trying to be around. He knows they are important and he loves them both and wants them to be a family. He has never been that guy but he wants to be their guy forever. This is a heartwarming, tender, loving passionate story. It makes you believe! Fantastic read!

While I didn’t get the title, still not sure what his first time was, it certainly wasn’t sex, or sex appeal, Nick had both. Kelsey is the typical, protective single mother, but her attraction to Nick can’t Be stopped, and she has a one night stand. Although for Nick he wants so much more.

This quick hit romance could easily be a much longer story, but I enjoyed the fast paced, inst-love romance that blossomed between Nick and Kelsey. Kelsey’s son, Ty is the glue that brings them together in the beginning and solidifies their romance throughout the story.

You almost can’t go wrong when there’s a rescue dog, a kid, and a lonely mom.

This is the first book I have read in this series and the first by this author. This is a short fast paced story that is interesting and has great characters.

Nick gets roped into be Santa and isn't happy until one little boy tells him his Christmas wish. Nick also is dealing with never feeling like he is good enough and always in the shadow of his brother.

Kelsey is a single mom and has given up on men because she thinks she is cursed. her son Tyson is her world.

Nick meets Tyson when he tells him what he wants for Christmas. When Nick goes to leave he sees Tyson and his mom in the parking lot with a flat tire. He helps them and from there the magic begins. Tyson may end up getting his Christmas wish after all.

This is part of His First Time series and it is a novella of Nick and Kelsey and her son Tyson's story. I loved this book so much even though it is a short read. I loved the interaction between the characters and it was a magical storyline. This book made me think " Can a lion change its spots and turn over a new leaf to get a happy ending " well you will have to read it to find out. When you get Ann and Callie writing a book together to know that you are in for a real treat and a page turner. I definitely recommend you read this book and others by them and you will not be disappointed.

His First Time: Nick (A Hot Shot of Romance Quickie) was a great read by Ann Omasta and Callie Love. Nick is a womanizer who spends one night playing Santa Clause. He always felt like the family screw up as the brother of race car driver, Beau Wallace. He was tricked into playing Santa for a charity event. He meets Kelsey and her young son at the event. He feels pulled to the two and her son may wind up getting his Christmas wish. I really enjoyed reading Nick and Kelsey’s story and I can’t wait to read more by Ann Omasta and Callie Love.

I don’t know whether to call this sweet with heat, or if it’s more heat with sweet, because Nick and Kelsey’s story is both spicy and utterly adorable. But then, I’ve always been a sucker for a good holiday themed romance. Ty is simply the most precocious little imp; I’m sure Kelsey had her hands more than full raising him to this point. I think he was my favorite part of the story, and his request to Santa left me just a little bit choked up. Now I’m just a little bit desperate to dig into Nick’s brother’s book to find out the rest of the story that gets hinted at in here.

Three and a half stars.
Another insta-lust/love story in this sweet series. Nick lives in the shadow of his famous brother. He’s begrudgingly playing Santa at a fundraiser for the local animal shelter when he gets an unusual request from a little boy. He then finds the boy and his mother in the parking lot with a flat tire. And the story takes off from there. If you’ve read any of the others in the series, this is much the same but just as enjoyable.

This well developed book 4 in the His First Time Series is a book and it has well crafted characters. It is an interesting short insta-love romance with an alpha man and an innocent woman. These characters are well-developed for a short story and you fall in love with them. The chemistry is hot and instant with these two and the story flows smoothly and is great sweet story. A Must Read HEA with no cliffhangers.

Santa’s Family Gift -
This is a compelling feel good story, with a wonderfully written dialogue and out-of-this-world chemistry between Nick, who is a commitment-phobe and single mother Charlotte, with her adorable son Tyson. I was so engrossed in this sweet story, that I was read it in an hour, as I couldn’t put it down.

He agrees to play Santa for a charity event where he meets Kelsey and her son, Tyson. Kelsey is a little cautious with relationships but she is warming up to Nick. Will they be able to change the wild ways of Nick?

This is a quick story with lots of love and emotion.
Standalone with no cliffhangers.
Nick gets roped into playing Santa, then tricked into bringing a dog home, he never ever expected to find his future too. Now all he has to do is convince Kelsey.
Kelsey is a single mother and Ty is her whole life, she doesn't have time for a relationship. Does she?

This is definitely a quick, short read. Too short for my tastes. An insta-lust/love story about Nick. He lives in his brother’s shadow. He doesn’t want to but agrees to play Santa at a fundraiser for the local animal shelter. He received an unusual request from a little boy and find the boy and his mother in the parking lot with a flat tire.

Nick gets his own family💕💕

This is my first time reading from the authors and they did an excellent job on this story! I love this holiday book. Kelsey is a single mother, sweet, beautiful, and caring. Nick is handsome, sweet, funny, and dedicated. This story is told in dual POV which I love. It's a short story but have everything to make a amazing novel. The writing is done beautifully and flows throughout the book. No interruptions! Amazing work Ann Omasta and Callie Love!

(3.5) Some instalove stories suck you right in and come off feeling believable. The characters seem genuine and you find yourself rooting for them. This story started off good, I thought I was going to get into it. But when the two hooked up, it fell flat. The hero needed more developing to pull it off and a lot of the kid's dialogue didn't sound like a real kid; felt more like an adult trying to be a kid. In the holiday spirit, I gave it 4 stars.
