Collection of Christmas-time love stories
OH! OH! OH! Santa is about Trista and Eddie. Trista works as one of Santa’s elves at the local mall for extra money, as she’s recently found out she’s pregnant. This was the result of a hook-up she had where she also happened to lose her virginity. They only shared their first names and she ran off early the next morning before they had a chance to exchange more than those details.
When the Santa’s voice sounds familiar she can’t pick it. Eddie is the first one to realise who she is, and she’s just what he’s been craving and searching for. Their reunion is both sweet and steamy. Her wish of a movie-worthy romance for Christmas may just come true! I wonder if riding Santa’s candy cane is a part of every elf’s job!?
Beignets and Mistletoe is about Marian and Nelson. She’s out for dinner with her parents while they’re on a family holiday in New Orleans for Christmas. Her mother announces there’s a surprise guest joining them for dessert – and when those surprises centre around her mother, they’re ones she doesn’t like. There’s pressure on Marian to settle down and find love, where she really isn’t in a hurry to do so. Her mother expects her to have a date for The Sugarplum Ball they’ll be attending. But when she recognises Nelson’s deep, sexy-like-melted-caramel voice, she’s not disappointed at all!
The conversation and company is easy and very comfortable and they seem to all be having a good time. But Marian knows better than to confuse politeness with romantic interest – or so she thinks! Being deployed back home gives Nelson the opportunity to settle down and start a family, like many of his friends. And he thinks Marian might just be the perfect woman to do that with! Every fibre of his being understood instantly that she’s the one for him. But she worries that they can’t have a future with the nature of his job, so what sacrifices are they willing to make?
Unwrapping Her Curves is about Mandy and Trevor. Mandy is stuck on the freeway on her way to her brother Jimmy’s house and was recently dumped by her boyfriend. She isn’t looking forward to the pitiful looks and comments she’ll get there. When she eventually gets to Jimmy’s house, Trevor, her brother’s best friend, who she hadn’t seen in years, answers the door. She’s more than a little surprised and walks straight past him. Trevor had always liked Mandy (a lot), but she never gave him a chance, knocking him down every time he asked her out. She’s even more gorgeous and compelling now, and he intends to try again. But she hardly gives him the time of day, spending most of her time with her brother and best friend Grace. He’ll have to work real hard to get to her!
These stories are full of emotion, romance, passion and steam. They’re nice easy reads for the upcoming holiday season. I give this collection of books four and a quarter stars.

Lana Love put three of her fun and romantic holiday stories into the amazing set perfect for the holidays.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Santa - Second Chance
Trista and Eddie meet at a club several months ago, where things got pretty hot. In the morning, Trista left wanting to avoid the awkwardness. It's December and Trista is now needing to prepare the best she can for the future of her baby, even if that means taking a job as a elf. Eddie has not forgot that night and can not get Trista out of his mind, so when he sees her again as he is working as Santa, he is not about to let go.

Trista not knowing who Eddie really was made this story for me. so when she told him the news Eddie knew she was real.


Beignets and Mistletoe - Friends to Lovers
Marian's dream and career goals are not up to standards to what her mother believe she should be doing. Apparently wanting to be a Principal is beneath being a housewife and mother, so therefore her mother is constantly trying to set her up. Nelson has been in the Navy and is finally being stationed back at home. When he call his parents only to find out they were not going to be home this Christmas and suggestion meeting up with their friends in New Orleans.

Marian knew Nelson growing up, but time has been good to him. So when her mom tried to set them up it was not a hardship, but because she believed he was just on leave, she did not go any further. At the ball, Nelson again was set up with Marian, she still resisted the pull not wanting to get hurt.

This is a sweet fast story that you will fall in love with. Yes mother's have a way of getting what they want.


Unwrapping Her Curves - Brother's Best Friend
Mandy is headed home from Christmas to spend time for with her brother, what she was not expecting was her brother's best friend to be there. Trevor is a pro- football player, who is usually playing on Christmas, but since he is on the DL, decided to come home for the holiday. Mandy and Trevor have always been circling around each other growing up, flirting and teasing but never more. Now that they are grown up and know what they want, and what Trevor wants is Mandy, but can he take the next step. Mandy crush on Trevor is back and in full force, but she sees who has been on his arm and she does not feel like she can compete.

Mandy and Trevor's story is a sweet second chance tale of realizing what you want and what is important. I love the connection the characters have with each other, the love and closeness. Mandy and Trevor's chemistry is a slow simmer that is on the edge of explosive.

This boxset has 3 short romance stories. They are:

Oh! Oh! Oh! Santa
I really liked this short steamy story. It was entertaining and enjoyable even though it was pretty over the top. The characters were interesting and likable for the most part. Eddie and Trista totally cracked me up. They were both attracted to each other immediately and acted on it! Trista ran away before Eddie woke up so he had to find her. Eddie finds Trista without her knowing that it's him since he has a great disguise. I enjoyed the premise of the story. I loved their happy ever after.

Beignets and Mistletoe
I really liked this short story. It was a great Christmas romance that was entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were easy to relate to and likable. Marian and Nelson had known each other for a while but her mom and his mom coordinated to get the two of them together while they were in New Orleans. Nelson knew that Marian was the one for him but Marian was resistant because she didn't want her heart to get broken. I loved their happy ever after.

Unwrapping Her Curves
I liked this short story a lot. It was entertaining and enjoyable with very little drama. The characters were interesting and likable. Grace was a great friend to Mandy. Jimmy was Trevor's best friend and brother to Mandy. Mandy and Trevor have always been around each other. Although they liked each other in high school, they didn't get together then. Several years later, Trevor is ready to retire and looking to settle down in his hometown. Mandy is also moving back to their hometown. The Christmas holiday places them in close proximity so that their feelings are reignited for each other. I liked that Trevor didn't let Mandy focus on things that didn't matter to him by letting her know she was his priority. Their happy ever after was good although I would have liked an epilogue further out as well.

I recommend reading any or all of these books.

Christmas magic and wishes do come true... fall in love this season, curl up on your couch with a blanket and get lost into these three fantastic Christmas short stories. You wont be able to stop falling in love and swoon over these characters. Insta love, forever future, magic of the season, love is in the air. I absolutely love Lana Love's stories and highly recommend this for everyone to read.

Oh oh oh, santa
This was such a sweet short story. The emotions, lost connections, insta love, second chances.
Trista feels everything is falling apart for her, having to listen to others talk bad about her behind her back, feeling lost in not knowing what to do, how to survive with no money, how to find the one man she gave everything to but only knew his first name.
Eddie cant believe how this one gig has brought him back to the one girl he could not forget about, this is his chance to change it all to make her his wife and never let her go.

Beignets and Mistletoe
Marian cant believe her mother has set her up on a date, she was in shock and dreading it until she found out who it was. Nelson is the son of her parents best friends, and growing up even though he is 2 years older then her she had a crushed on him.
Nelson is on deploy from the navy and home for Christmas. He is ready to settle down and start a family and plan his future. And within a short time over dessert he knows Marian is the woman he wants, she is "the one".

Unwrapping Her Curves
Mandy has had a crush on Trevor her brothers best friend since high school, but she has always turned him down cause why would a sexy popular guy like him want a big curvy girl like her. Now he is a professional football player who can get any woman he wants.
Trevor has always wanted Mandy, but she has always turned him down. But still to this day he know it has always been Mandy for him, and he will not give up until he finally has her.

This was a great collection of holiday romances. I’ve included individual reviews below:

OH! OH! OH! Santa: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a cute holiday romance. The story was short but super fast paced and entertaining throughout. I like both Trista and Eddie, but I would have liked to have a bit more interaction between. But I really liked the story.

Beignets and Mistletoe: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a cute holiday romance. I loved the meddling mom and at least she got it right this time. The storyline was entertaining and the chemistry between Nelson and Marian was awesome. I also really enjoyed that the story was almost free of drama. A really great read.

Unwrapping her Curves: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a really cute best friend’s sister romance. I loved the chemistry between Mandy and Trevor. I also really loved that it wasn’t an insta love story but rather a the one that got away story and that they both felt like that. It was just a great story.

Santa Loves Curves Romance Collection - Hot enough to melt a blizzard

Santa Loves Curves Romance Collection contains 3 Christmas themed books from different series -
1. OH! OH! OH! Santa (Oh Curvy Baby! Book 2)
2. Unwrapping Her Curves (His Curvy Beauty Book 10)
3. Beignets and Mistletoe (A Cajun Christmas Book 2)

Each of these books is a whole lot of Christmas entertainment. I had previously read two of the books before getting this collection. So I was excited to read OH! OH! OH! Santa as I really enjoy Lana Love's stories and the description looked like it would be a a fun and naughty read. So my favorite book is Beignets and Mistletoe, as who does not love a warn Beignets with a great cup of coffee. Each book is a sugary sweet, candy can licking, OTT insta-love romance with a hit of mistletoe and the big man himself, Santa Claus. The story-lines are entertaining, have a bit of drama, romance, friends, family, and a lot of sizzling hot sexy passion. You will definitely get in the mood for some fun under the Christmas tree when the kiddos go to bed. Happy Reading and Merry Christmas!!!

These were three quick read Insta-love romances. If you like Hallmark holiday movies, you will enjoy these stories. The female characters were relatable curvy women looking for their one. The male characters were strobg, alpha makes who would do anything for the woman they love.

These are 3 short stories about curvy women who meet their special men during the Christmas season.
OH! OH! OH! Santa
Trista is working as an elf at the mall Santaland because she needs money and is going to be a single mother after a one night stand with a man she met while out drinking and dancing. Eddie is the hot Santa that calls her “sexy elf” and wants to get to know her better. What will happen when she finds out who he really is?

Beignets and Mistletoe
Marian is with her parents in New Orleans for the holidays and has her mom pushing her to settle down and fixes her up with Nelson, a former neighbor, who is also here on leave from the Navy. They attend the Holiday Ball together but can anything become of their relationship when she will be returning home and he travels with the Navy?

Unwrapping Her Curves
After recently breaking up with her boyfriend, Mandy is going to her brother’s for Christmas. Her brother’s best friend, Trevor, an injured professional football player and Mandy’s high school crush, is also there for the holidays. Trevor had been warned by her brother in high school that Mandy was off limits for him, but will do they both still feel the same attraction?

I give this book 4.5 stars. I enjoyed these 3 short stories where Christmas played a major role in these 3 couples connecting, but would their attraction continue into the new year? The epilogues provided great endings for their stories.

OH! OH! OH! Santa

Trista does not like this costume it is way too small but she is doing what she needs to do for her child. She has a surprise from her one night stand, she snuck out in the morning before he asked her to leave.
Eddie was not happy when he was convinced to play Santa as part of a promotion. That all changed when he saw one of the elves, it was her from that awesome night, he found her.

Beignets and Mistletoe

Marian’s Mom is constantly trying to set her up with someone and this holiday season she strikes again. She does not understand that while she eventually wants to be a wife and mother, she also has career goals.
Nelson has returned from overseas on leave just to find out his parents are on a cruise, so he gets an invitation from neighbors to meet for dinner. He has not seen Marian in years but knows she will someday be his wife.

Unwrapping Her Curves

Mandy is home for the holiday, it is no just her and her brother. Her brother's friend is also there, the one she crushed on in high school, even though he chased her, she neve let him catch her.
Trevor has always had a crush on Mandy, but when he heads home for the holidays due to an injury, he realizes she is the one for him.

Each of these stories are sweet and steamy.

In this book we get three of Lana Love's fun,short and steamy Holiday romances the first is:
Oh Oh Oh Santa- Gives us Trista and Eddie Santa and his sexy Elf's story which begins when Trista is out for a fun night of drinks and dancing where she meets a man and has a one night stand. That night leaves her with an unexpected gift so to make extra money she gets a job at Santaland in the mall working as an Elf. Eddie is the smoking hot Santa who recognizes his sexy Elf but doesn't let on. What's going to happen when Trista finds out who Santa really is?

Oh! Oh! Oh! Santa:
Trista and Eddie have one steamy night together after meeting at a club and then Trista left before Eddie woke up. Months later Trista gets a special little surprise. Neither forgot about the other and fate brings them back together with him working as Santa and she is his Elf. This is a sweet, steamy, holiday romance with a baby twist.
Unwrapping Her Curves:
Unwrapping Her Curves is a short, sweet holiday romance between Mandy and Trevor her brother's best friend. From the moment Trevor sees Mandy again he instantly knows they belong together now he just has to convince Mandy. This is a quick read with likable characters and a fun entertaining storyline.
Beignets and Mistletoe:
Marian and Nelson grew up in the same hometown and knew each other growing up. Now that they are older and destiny, or should I say Marian's mom, brings them together in New Orleans at Christmas. This is a sweet, heartwarming, insta love story and a great addition to the Cajun Christmas series. This is an entertaining, fun short story with likable characters and a great ending.

DNF at 39%

How bad can a 150 pages book be for you to DNF it? This bad. I couldn't get myself to care about any of the characters in two out of three stories I've read. This was unbearable!

All the baby fever in the first story made me uncomfortable. The insta-love and "i love you" after like 1 day of knowing each other made me even more uncomfortable. The "i wanna plant my children into her and make her my wife" after like 5 minutes made me physically and emotionally sick.

The second story was pretty much the same but hey at least the female lead had some other ambitions. Sadly, everything else was so bad I stop after chapter two or three and decided this collection was simply not meant for me.

If you're looking for Christmas romance, I'd skip this if I were you. This is worse than all the cliche cringe Christmas movies.

Lana Love has written a 5-star 3-book collection. This collection is about 3 couples that have known each other in the past and had feelings for each other, but things kept them apart. Now the couples have come back to their home towns and meet up again. The guys try to get the girls but they put up a fight. The girls don't think the guys really want them since they are big girls. The guys have a reputation for dating skinny women or girls from the in-crowd. All the girls have a hard time believing the guys want to be with them.
Will the girls let the guys in and get the happy ending they want?
This was a wonderful Christmas collection and I would recommend it to anyone.
