The sweet little morsel that was talking to herself captured my attention, she also fell in my arms, not just figuratively but literally. Her lush curves, sweet smile, and an angelic face had me thinking of all the naughty things I'd like to do to Halo.
If she's my reward for coming to the annual Christmas party, then I'd say I'm on Santa's nice list this year.
One moan, that was all it took, my name leaving her lips and I knew being a gentleman was flying out the window. It didn't matter what the circumstances were, she'd be mine for Christmas.
Welcome to a filthy dirty Christmas! Forget sugar and spice and everything nice ... this year we want to show off our naughty side. Taboo, dangerous, and over-the-top, we're bringing you everything you were too scared to ask Santa for. Don't worry, loves, these are still packed with the heroes you crave and the HEA's you deserve!
Tory Baker is a mom of two teenagers and a dog mom to one wild and active Weimaraner, Remi. She lives in a small coastal town on the east coast of sunny Florida. Oftentimes you’ll find her outside soaking up the rays with at least three drinks surrounding her, a wandering imagination, and a notebook in hand where she’s jotting down a plot for her next story. She’s a lover of writing happily ever afters with Alpha heroes and sassy heroines.
Halo is new to the company and has to attend the company Christmas party. It’s a dressy event, which is the opposite of Halo’s style (she’s more of a blue jeans and beer kind of girl), but she manages to make it work. At the party she meets Warren and they head back to his place for some fun.
This was like a workplace romance without the workplace. I loved the short chapters, mainly because it felt too drawn out for me.
My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
Halo literally falls for Warren when he startles her at the annual company Christmas party. Their attraction is instant and they are inseparable during the party. They drink, eat, and dance the night away. Not ready for the evening to end they go to a local bar and enjoy drinks and live music the whole time getting more and more turned on they leave for Warren’s place. Lots and lots of sexy times while they are snowed in at his apartment, she’s a virgin, no mention of his past. Only snafu is when Halo realizes he is the company VP, she’s new to the company and is worried about what her coworkers will think and is thinking she will have to quit. She rants and thinks out loud until she runs out of steam, then Warren steps in and explains he’s a total silent partner, he works in production and is not her supervisor. They spend all their time not working together and he soon proposes, I love yous and epilogue one year later with a baby boy and seven years later with more kids. Low to no angst or conflict, just a sweet sexy fun story.

4.5 Stars I thought that this was a great book. I really liked Halo and Warren together. The connection and chemistry between these two was scorching hot. This story is a quick read but it will have you smiling and totally needing water. There is very little drama, just some small obstacles to overcome, in this book. I really hope that we get Ash and Rita's book too. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it and Ms. Tory as a must read author.

Super duper hot romance! I loved the festive side, it just made me enjoy it more. Both characters were written so well and complemented each other perfectly. You could feel their chemistry fly off the pages and the heat almost burnt my kindle. The storyline was sooooo good and it flowed so well that I couldn't put it down, I finished reading it all in one go! I will read this again, even if it's not christmas!!
Oh my was this short read ever Amazing , hot and steamy, makes the reader swoon and fall in love with both Halo and Warren. Instant attraction that turns to instant love and a forever love and happy future . I hope this is not the end and will have more of these two, plus I hope Warren's business partner gets his own happy ending too.
Warren and Halo met in the lobby of the hotel where their company Christmas party was being held. Warren caught Halo just as she was falling and the sparks immediately flew. Not leaving each other's side from that moment on these two burned up the sheets together. Loved everything about their story!

This one started with a bang and ended the same way. I might even try fishing if Warren was my teacher. Love the banter between them. Excited for maybe more books about some of the others mentioned.

Who knew that sweet 24 year old virgin Halo had a such a filthy side to her!!! I loved Warren and Halo’s story. There was a little insta-love, a lot of filthy dirty and some steamy scenes in the shower. This was one of my favorite stories from the series so far!
Warren meets Halo just outside his companies annual Christmas Party. Neither one wants to go when he walks up behind her and startles her. He takes her by her hand and they go inside to the party. Halo is impressed and Warren knows Ashton spend to much on this party. They get their drinks and they are dancing. When the party gets rowdier, he asks her if she wants to leave. They head down the street to a bar he knows about and find a corner booth. When he touches her leg they both feel an instant connection to one another. He tells her they’re leaving and they head to his apartment. He goes to the balcony to lite the propane fire pit and when he comes back in she is asleep. He’s not sure if he should wake her or let her sleep until he sees her hand go down her body. He grabs a blanket and when he turns around all he can do is stare at her and her hand slips under her dress and shows off her panties. She calls out his name, and he drops the blanket but she isn’t awake. She says out loud she wants to feel him, so he tells her she needs to open her eyes. She wakes up and he drops to his knees in front of her, he tells her she smells good. He pulls her panties to the side and licks his tongue across her center. She moans his name and he wedges his shoulder between her thighs. He tells her she is going to come in his mouth, he wants her taste all over him. He tells her he wants her spread out on his bed and she says she needs to tell him something. After a few seconds of him telling her he’s addicted to her and nothing will stop him from having her. She tells him she is a virgin. He tells her they can go as far as she is comfortable, he is fine with it. She can’t believe a man like him is telling her that. He tells her to wrap her legs around him and carries her to his bed. All night long they go at each other, pleasuring each other. Halo wakes the next morning to use the restroom and trips over his clothes. She is busy picking them up and he tells her to leave them. She tells him she is starving and he tells her he’ll make her breakfast. When she finds his wallet and a few things that fell out he tells her to put it on the dresser. She uses the bathroom and then brushes her teeth. When she comes out she sees a card on the floor, so she picks it up. She sees its Warrens business card and that he is the VP of Get Hooked, and co-owner. She can’t believe she just slept with her boss and didn’t know. She grabs her clothes and rushes out telling him she needs to go. He asks her what she is talking about and she tells him it’s her fault she should have asked who he was. She goes off into a rant about moving back to Utah. He asks her if she is done and then tells her there is six feet of snow that fell overnight and no plows have been by. There isn’t an uber around that will picker her up. He asks her if she is ready to eat then plates everything on one plate and feed her. She tells him she can feed herself and he tells her he is going to take care of her. He tells her what he does at his job and in no way oversees her or her department. Then he asks her if she would like to take a shower with him. They pleasure each other in the shower and he asks if he can take her to bed. They lay in bed when Warren gets a call from Ashton. They are closing down the office for Monday because of the storm. Warren packs a duffle bag and they head to her apartment. They head into work together. Halo found out Aston wants to get to know Rita the only friend she has made at work. So Halo has some matchmaking to do. Warren walks into Ashton’s office and finds out she is going to help him. When Halo walks into Ashton’s office he finds out it upset Rita to have him with someone else at the party. His date found Rita in the bathroom and cornered her with all kinds of hatred. Rita is still upset over all of this. Halo assures Ashton she’ll help him out. Two weeks later they help each other decorate their apartments for Christmas. He wakes Christmas morning to find Halo wrapped herself in a bow and is laying under the tree. He tells her she is the best present and he loves her. She tells him she loves him too. One year later they were married after few month into their relationship. Now Warren is cradling their son, Jeremy she had him on New Years Day. Seven years later they moved into a five bedroom home they have four kids. They keep his apartment for when family come to visit. Now they are using it for themselves, they don’t get time with each other. So his parents are babysitting. Tonight is for them.

The Christmas Virgin, part of A Filthy Dirty Christmas series, was about 24-year-old Halo, a graphic designer for Get Hooked (a fishing tackle and apparel company), and 34-year-old Warren, the co-owner and Vice-President of Get Hooked. (There were no last names given.) Having to dress up to attend the annual Christmas gathering at work was not something that Halo was used to doing. But as the newest employee, she put in an appearance. But that was just the beginning since her entrance was interrupted by running into the handsome hunk who nearly knocked her down. One thing led to another and they ended up at Warren's place for the weekend of fun and revelry. Warren wasn't expecting the beauty he nearly flattened. He didn't do company appearances. He was more comfortable working in the background than kissing A$$ to make things happen. But the gorgeous woman who bowled him over also took his heart with her when she did and he wasn't about to let her get away. It was a fun, sweet, fast read that had a minor touch of angst, a slim dose of drama, and a minimal amount of spice. However, it also had a bit too much fluff-n-stuff that got in the way. Not much, but there was enough to irritate the reader. There were some grammatical errors as well, but not enough to interfere with the reading. I gave this a three-star rating.
'The Christmas Virgin' by Tory Baker is part of the multi-author A Filthy Dirty Christmas series and tells the story of Halo, who moved to Breckenridge for her new job at Get Hooked, and Warren, who works the development side of Get Hooked and is one of the owners. Halo and Warren literally bump into each other at the company Christmas party. Neither one really wants to be there but now the party looks interesting. They are instantly attracted to each other and hoping each is unattached. Discovering that they are both single they decide to spend their time at the party together and then leave to go to a nearby club to continue getting to know know each other. Neither want the night to end so they go to Warren's apartment and spend a passionate evening together. Is this the beginning of something wonderful or or just an itch scratched? What happens when Halo finds out that Warren owns the company she works for?
Ms. Baker has written a smexy addition to the series. This story may be short but it packs a lot in it's pages. The book is well written with likable characters and a steamy plot. I liked how Warren was so considerate of Halo and making sure she was taken care of...in all ways. Great ending!!

Tory Baker joins the wonderfully naughty A Filthy Dirty Christmas multi-author series with The Christmas Virgin, a sweet and spicy age-gap instalove romance. Warren co-owns Get Hooked, a fishing and apparel company, but spends most of his time away from the office designing products or working in the warehouses. So when he arrives at the annual Christmas party and a their younger, beautiful marketing manager literally falls into his arms, he does not know who Halo is - only that he has every intention of making her his. Before the night is out, Warren plans on claiming Halo and making sure she never wants to leave. A super steamy high-heat, low-drama, holiday instalove romance you won't be able to put down.

Halo is new to town, and new to her company. Heading into the company party, she is not quite ready for, when she almost falls. Warren is co-owner of the company and would rather skip the party, but when he catches a beautiful woman, his whole at look changes.
The Christmas Virgin is hot, steamy with a touch of sweet and care that has your heart melting. Warren and Halo do not discuss what they actually do at the company, so when Halo find out he is part owner she freaks. I love that Warren lets her have her break down and is there to bring her back from the edge. Halo is a sassy woman that lets her mind race, but in Warren's arms she knows she is safe.
This is an amazing fast story that you will not want to put down.

This is the story of Halo and Warren who meet at the Holiday Christmas party. Halo works in marketing and Warren is the vice president of the company that people rarely see. She does not have clue who he is but they hit it off immediately. This is a Christmas party neither one wanted to be at but when they see each both are glad they came. Their chemistry is fast and furious. This is a really steamy fast fun holiday read that is a feel good book all the way through. It is about two people who find each other and do what needs to be done to stay together. It was a fast enjoyable read and I could not put it down once I started it. Great fun holiday read.

This book is a part of the A Filthy Dirty Christmas series and focuses on Warren and Halo. Halo was a relatively new employee at Get Hooked when she met Warren at the company Christmas party. As soon as they meet, there is an instant connection and they do not let up at all. They are both all in from the start, even though Halo has a slight freak out moment when she finds out that Warren is the VP of the company, but Warren doesn’t let her fret for long. I loved how steamy it was and how deeply they both loved each other! This was such a great story and Warren was such a great alpha. This was a great addition to the series! I really hope that we get Ash and Rita’s story ASAP though.

This book was almost nonstop steam but don’t worry it built a terrific story as well. Warren and Halo were amazing characters. I enjoyed their quick connection, their flirtations, their HOT steam, and their ending!! Everything about this book was enjoyable to read. The steamy scenes didn’t feel repetitive, switching up the content and adding more to the story.
Warren and Halo meet at an office Christmas party. He’s the silent partner at the company but Halo doesn’t know that at first. They spend an incredible weekend together and neither one wants it to end. But with Warren being her boss, can they have a future? You HAVE to read their story!

Halo and Warren were such awesome characters! Halo left everything she knew to forge a new path. Leaving Utah for Colorado had already proven to be a good move. When she runs into a very handsome man at the company Christmas party, sparks fly and attraction bursts into flames. They spend a lovely evening getting to know each other before heading back to his place. The one thing they didn't talk about was their jobs. When morning comes, their jobs almost get in the way of this soul deep connection they are forging. I loved how Warren talks her down from that ledge. These two were absolutely adorable, I had so much fun watching them fall in love! 5 stars for Halo and Warren!
They meet at hit it off right from the start. They spend a weekend together which is the start to a wonderful romance. There is a bump in the road which they get over. This is an over the top weekend and relationship. This is a quick and fun read, it moves quickly and the epilogues are wonderful we see where this relationship went. I had a hard time putting it down, I did finish it in two sittings it was very enjoyable and easy to read. There was some interaction with other characters like Ash and they had a good dialogue going. Great story.

Halo is talked into dressing up for the company Christmas party, which is not how she usually dresses. On the way in she stumbles and falls into his arms, the spend most of the night in each other's company then head to his house.
Warren was threatened to attend this party, he prefers being in the warehouse and designing new products. When the beauty falls into his arms, he knows she will be his and not just for the night.
When she finds out who she went home with, she had doubts that this will wreck her career, Warren is having none of that. This is steamy holiday romance, that burns up the page.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is a short and steamy holiday romance that is part of the Filthy Dirty Christmas series. Neither Warren nor Halo wanted to be at the company Christmas party. Once they meet, they realize it was the best decision they could have made. Halo does not realize who Warren is at first. The connection they make during the weekend helps her get over the discovery. He was not going to let her go anyway. They were perfect for each other. I enjoyed the book and the characters

This is a super hot one. Halo is a self proclaimed country bumpkin that moves to the city to be a Marketing rep for a fishing hook company. She literally stumbles into Warren the night of the company holiday party. These two connect and never leave each other side but with their chemistry as hot as it was, never talked about who they were for the company either. Things heat up fast and hot between these two. Lots of dirty talking, steamy shower scenes and a great morning after for these two. Fun story to read!

Halo has been working for the company for about three months. The Christmas party is tonight. Halo doesn’t want to go but she promised her friend, Rita she would be there. Warren is just making an appearance at the party. He is the money partner in the company. When Warren sees Halo everything goes out the window and he stays for the party. What is Warren’s attraction to Halo? This story is hot with a lot of sizzle, steam, passion and sexy romance. It grabbed my attention right from the first page. The characters are both good people who you can cheer for and fall in love with. It is a dynamite read!

This was a great instalove story... As with all of Tory Baker`s books - its incredibly well written and well developed with an easy flow... which is hard to find with short stories that sometimes leave you feeling rushed or like you´re missing important details. Halo and Warren are wonderful and their chemistry is scorching hot! I loved their instant connection... and I especially loved that they didn´t fight it or feel the need to play it "cool" - instead diving head first into their emotions! This is a quick and fun story to read... with soooo much heat!

Virgin heroine LITERALLY falls into the arms of our hero at an office holiday party and their chemistry is immediate. Cue a weekend of marathon sex.
Basically, this was just another fun, quick, and dirty Christmas-themed novella. It's pure fantasy crack - like, a flawless first time for Halo, successful ass play after maybe only 24 hours of losing her V-card, and (SPOILERS) - Warren ends up proposing to her like 2 weeks later and they live HEA with 4 kids and a perfect life in the epilogue. It's a whirlwind and it's kinda insane, but it's also pure brain candy for the hopeless romantic in me.
TL;DR - this novella gives me X-rated Hallmark Christmas romantic comedy vibes.

Halo wasn’t feeling to into the company Christmas party. But once she gains the attention of Warren, she quickly begins to enjoy him. Drinks, dinner, dancing and a delicious dessert afterwards has her making a life changing decision.
Warren liked being behind the scenes of his company. But he occasionally had to make a public appearance. And that just landed him the most incredible woman. Halo is perfect for him.
Once Halo realizes just who Warren is, doubt creeps in. But Warren isn’t about to give up the greatest gift he ever received.
Warren is a co-owner of the business Get Hooked. He is head of the development side so he isn't in charge of day-to-day stuff. He is at the annual Christmas party when he spots a beautiful woman talking to herself. He has never seen her before but he intends to make her his. Halo is very attracted to the hot man who went out of his way to make her feel more comfortable. As the night goes on the initial spark has grown in a flame of passion. The two end up in bed together where Halo is eager to give him the present of her v-card.
