Those are the four words I told my boyfriend after a mistaken Santa incident that I have been trying not to think about since it happened. He probably would have forgiven me if I’d admitted my screw up right away. Instead, he found out in a public recap video of the Holiday Crowne Charity Gala. Now, it looks like I have a Santa fetish. Nothing says happy holidays like two public disasters with two different men and one extremely overwhelming decision.

4.5 Stars! Mrs. Green?!? First off let me start with a thank you to Sherelle Green for giving me this ARC, Two Dirty Santas: Baes of Christmas! The heroine Vanessa Blackmore (Nessy or Juice if ya nasty ) is a feisty sexually liberated chef with an agenda to have the best Christmas with her man senator Voshon Carrington. (Which I was here for because this brings us more into the Crowne world!) Unfortunately for Vanessa, a quick mistake lands her with not only one Santa but two! And they both fine?!? Vickson Carde (Vick), who we come to know as the other Santa, not only has a history with Vanessa but also a history with Voshon. Can we say drama! My girl had some explaining to do!! Vick is a junkyard owner and has street ties, the complete opposite of Voshon although they are from those same streets together. This story confused me because I honestly didn’t know who she was going to choose and after the soft launch party I didn’t think she had to choose! Not giving spoilers but let’s just say it gets steamy yall! And I would have done the same thing to fill a desire just like Nessy! Or should I say Juice! Overall I loved this read!! It was the perfect steamy 2nd chance romance read that I needed! Make sure to grab your copy of Two Dirty Santas: Baes of Christmas by Sherelle Green this Thursday December 23rd, 2021!
Side note: I want to highlight that Voshon is such an interesting love interest because it seems that he can never have a girl of his own. He’s always in drama and almost caught the hands of Saint Crowne in Sins of A Saint (Crowne Legacy Series). How he fairs in this book well you will have to read and find out who miss Nessy chooses!! Also you don't have to read the Crowne Series to enjoy this book, BUT you should definitely read that series because its fire!!! Happy Reading and happy holidays!!
OMG! This read was everything I needed for an after Christmas, pick me up! I laughed so much at Nessy and all her antics! Girl, how you unintentionally end up with two Dirty Santa Baes? Nessy was on her way with the rebranding and opening of her restaurant. These two men just couldn’t stay away! Voshon was aight, and too perfect, or so he seemed. All polished on the outside, but sneaky and conniving on the inside! But Vick was bout something! Rough around the edges, blunt, smart, caring and most of all nasty as hell! Whew lawd! 🔥 Nessy needed someone to match her fly, and she had to figure out which one of these men could do that! I know who I was rooting for, and hoped that Nessy didn’t disappoint me! She didn’t! 😂 Sooo good! 👍👍👍
If loving you is wrong ion wanna be right. Hunny, I need to go back and recap the catalog. When you're able to live out your fantasy and still bag your bae. I'm all for it hunny!!
When Future said, " I took a sip of your tea and I ain't been right ever since", I think he wrote that for Vick! He was one nasty man! A great holiday read!
Rating 4.5⭐️ Two Dirty Santas was the kind of chaotic Christmas I didn’t know I needed. One “it was an accident” spirals into public embarrassment, romantic confusion and a full blown Santa themed identity crisis. Nessy’s situation was wild but also believable. lol that's right I'm siding with her 😬 One wrong move, one delayed confession and suddenly the internet, the family and the universe are all in your business. The social media blowup was diabolical work.
What really worked here was that this wasn’t just about choosing between two men it was about alignment. Voshon and Nessy looked good on paper but chemistry alone isn’t enough when someone has to keep shrinking themselves to fit a role. Nessy deserved to exist fully not as polished arm candy but as her loud, imperfect, passionate self. I'm still hopeful for Voshon I actually appreciated that his story didn’t force a fit. He needs someone who can stand firm in his world without losing themselves and Nessy wasn’t that woman. Not because she was weak because she was accommodating. That realization felt mature not disappointing.
Juice and Vick 🥰 That pairing made sense immediately. Even with a little rift in their past it was still effortless and comfortable. It's like their love was just on pause no pretending, no reshaping just vibes, attraction and mutual acceptance. Vick knew what Juice wanted when she couldn't form words to express it. Aunt Figgy quotes absolutely stole moments adding humor and that familiar Crowne family flavor that makes these stories feel lived in.
At the end of the day this book was a course correction disguised as a Christmas mishap. One little oops rerouted everyone exactly where they needed to be. Spicy, funny and purposeful without overstaying its welcome. A messy holiday win that proves sometimes embarrassment is just the universe pushing you toward the right door.

Two Dirty Santa’s is Sherelle Green’s entertaining contribution to the Baes of Christmas holiday stories. Vanessa “Nessy” Blackmore is an executive chef who is on a mission to open her own restaurant before her fortieth birthday. She had a brief appearance in the “Crowne Legacy” series. Her Aunt Figgy is the Crowne family’s long time cook. Nessy has a fantasy involving Santa. When her Senator boyfriend is volunteering in the role at the Crowne family’s charity gala, she gets her wish. One “dirty” Santa is naughty enough. She has not one, but two incidents involving Santa. Eventually, she has two men vying for her attention and the personality to manage it. Fans of Ms. Green’s “Crowne Legacy” series, have heard the name Voshon Carrington. He’s a state senator from an influential family. He’s totally focused on his career, constantly in “politician” mode and can’t risk any bad press. He doesn’t really have time for a relationship, but Nessa brings out his light hearted side and gives him an escape. Vickson Carden is an entrepreneur with a tough exterior and a big heart. Things were strictly physical between Nessy and Vick years ago, but their connection is still strong and they have more in common than they realize.
In many ways Nessy’s relationship with one of the men prepares her for a relationship with the other. However, she is not one to be tamed and does her own thing. It takes a strong, confident, and sexy man (in this case two) to recognize that and meet her where she is.
Two Dirty Santa’s packs a lot in a small package and I highly recommend it. See complete review at romanceincolor.com.
Mrs. Green, I hate to admit it's been a while since I read one of your masterpieces. This book was just what I needed and it easily refreshed my memory about the Maddens. They were a family I fell in love with. I enjoyed this holiday novella. I can always tell it is going to be a terrific read from the opening scene.
I was glad that Nessy chose and fell in love with the "underdog." I felt like the other Santa was not going to be compatible with Vanessa in the long run. The guy she established the relationship with to me was considered the "underdog." His profession and upbringing were quite bumpy and the other Santa seemed more polished. He and Vanessa were made for each other, they just understood the "assignment" better. They both had a big heart for kids, helping others, volunteering at charities, and being just all-around good people. Unfortunately, his and Vanessa's childhood mirrored each other. Although it was rough they both were a "beauty to ashes" success.
This is an incredible holiday read. I loved the plot and it was conducted well. The idea of having a female handpick from two Santas was brilliant. It was almost as if it was the angel 😇 on one shoulder and the devil 😈 on the other. You will enjoy this book and the others in this series. All of the authors selected determined men that knew who they wanted to spend their "happily ever after" with. I highly suggest this book, you will be intrigued.
Merry Christmas instead. Sherelle Green came through on her sleigh of reindeer and delivered one sexy Christmas gift wrapped story. Sis did not come to play when she brought Nessy to the stage with her new bae and her old bae. Green had me invested in the final outcome immediately after the appearance of Santa #2. Then on top of delivering one steamy sexy read she throws in cameos of some of our favorite Sherelle Green characters. Reading this book you’ll definitely need a glass of ice cold something and maybe even a fire extinguisher because this story is that hot. If you like sexy stories at Christmastime this is the one for you. #NaughtyorNiceBae #ReindeerBAEforthewin
Ooooh weeeee....can we place an order for a Dirty Santa or two?
This holiday short was both sexy and funny. Aunt Figgy's quotes were hilarious and paired nicely with each chapter. What are the chances that the two men in your life have the same initials and have history as enemies? To read this book was quite an experience and definitely a journey into delicious pleasure. Who does Nessy choose? It is worth the read to find out. I hate to ask the author for more of them but I really want to know more because I don't think the other Santa will go away quietly. Remember they are both Dirty Santas!
It takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it out of sight. Go on the passion filled journey of Vanessa, Vick and Vashon where one must decided passion over purpose. To be able to show up in one's relationship as their authentic self is exactly what Nessy needed and desired. Filled with so much promise, go on the journey of self realization and the ability to follow one's dream. You'll smile 😃 . You'll root for your choice. And you'll land at the point of yes, that was worth it.
Omg where do I started sherelle Green did her thang in this knocked it out the box yessss 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤❤❤❤❤❤simply the best vick dirty Santa 2 was definitely book bae ok Santa 1 was sexy too but Vick was the man. I loved everything about this story between the love they had between each other to the steamy hot scenes🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and her nickname juice oweeeee one of my favorite and I love how other characters were linked together popa charles and aunt had me busting up lol❤❤❤😍😍😍🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 the best ❤❤❤
This book was just what I needed two days after Christmas. I don’t know what to say about aunt figgy😂😂😂child her advise was priceless. I loved me some Vic …he reminded me of someone who loved me the way Vic loved Nessy. Every women deserves to experience a man who loves her enough to let her be herself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was an enjoyable read that had me gasping and laughing out loud. As for the passion in this book let me just leave this right here 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ☺️
This book was a reading experience from the beginning until the end. Nessy was caught between 2 Santas who unknown to her had past with each other. This story was filled with many quotes which I feel was timely and spot on with each chapter. Nessy struggled with what she should ultimately do, however, what she she comes to realize is that sometimes what you truly want is already decided and oftentimes, it's your head that needs to accept what your heart already knows!!!
Nessy was in a relationship with Voshon, but one wrong hick up causes a break up. Vick was happy that he was the hick up. Finally deciding that Vic is whats best for her, Voshon shows up again, but was it to late. It was, and Vick got what he always wanted!! That beginning pulled me in and I couldn't get enough. I loved Vick and Nessy chemistry and was happy for them. This short was a great read, but I wanted more!!!
Sherelle, Sherelle, Sherelle........ I am not a review type of person but U had to come and give you your flowers. It was classy with a bit of grit. Bringing that Crayson in makes me want to go back and read his book, just for the laughs. Fantasy and reality meet. Sherelle, flawlessly, brought grit & class and fantasy &reality together. My, my, my ( in my Johnny Gill voice)
Sherelle Green is officially the Dirty Christmas queen G.O.A.T🥃🎁👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿‼️Glad to see some old familiar family members & characters reappear plus new couple Vanessa & Vick in “Two Dirty Santas” the second book of the Baes of Christmas series. OMg, this book was beyond EXCELLENT! Without divulging any of this book’s juicy (😂🤣🍉) contents, expect the unexpected (door #1🎅🏽🍆🎅🏽😂🤣🫣)especially with those Dirty Christmas Crowne’s …& the legacy continues💐‼️
What can I say! I love the Crowne Legacy Series. It was great getting to meet Nessy and Vick after meeting them in Keaton's book. Green knows how to write a book. A little party, a little romance, and a hot Santa...actually make that two hot Santas. If you're in the mood for a steamy and sexy Christmas tale where love isn't the only thing on the menu, pick this up. It's just enough to warm you up.
I loved everything about this book from the beginning definitions in dirty to the end of the epilogue. When Santa makes his intentions known Ness has to make a decision on which Santa to choose from the heart. This book was filled with some funny moments and some very sexy moments. Highly recommend!
Yes, this was a nice naughty tale. Two Santa's oh my. The basis of the story was a girl in love with one Santa and in heavy like with the other. Crayson comes through to say hi, and the Crown's are part of the storyline. The story was not what I expected, but I am not whining. Yeah!
Well Ms Nessy got her fantasy with two men but I love how Vick knew regardless she was going to be with him because he understood Nessy's needs and wanted her to achieve her dreams. Veshon was a good man but he needed a certain type and even though he cared for Nessy she would have to change herself to fit in his world
Vanessa has to choose between Voshon, Dirty Santa 1, Vanessa's current boyfriend or Vick, Dirty Santa 2, a blast from her past. A mistake with Vick leads to a breakup between Vanessa and Voshon, but he doesn't give her up easily. Her final decision is made during a 🔥🔥🔥sex scene. There are also appearances from the Crowne and Madden series.
What can I say! A double dosage of V & V!! What more can you ask for?!? At the end of everything, the heart knows what it wants!! I tell you what!! I will never look at a crystal bowl the same!! 🤦🏽♀️
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!! Go grab your copy right now! As Always, Kudos, Sherelle!! 💜💜
Well we all about to run out and buy Santa hats and red Timbs! Because BABYYYY🔥. When you know you and this story was lit from start to finish and Vick and Nessy just made being together a arc form that we all want to experience at some point in our lives! As usual Ms. Green got us all hot and bothered out here🤪🥰🔥
This was a love story about Vanessa Black more and Vickson Carden. They were lifelong friends with a past relationship and current feelings. After several dates they rekindle those strong feelings that led to a new relationship then it led to their happily ever after.
It took me longer to read than it should have. I think I have read too many Crowne legacy books, they were starting to get on my nerves (especially Creed). This book was okay. Not your typical holiday story. It’s more like a 3.5 ⭐️ instead of a 4. On another note I love Sherelle Green.
This is a modern day version of the Hatfield s and McCoys. V. C. vs V. C. with Aunt Fight doling out advice. Vanessa was something else in more ways than one.
Wow! This book blew me away! I mean it had me blushing and clutching my imaginary pearls! Whew! What a read. If spicy and decadent and just a little bit taboo is what you're looking for, look no further. This just won #SantaBaeOfChristmas this year. Sheesh
OMG. Vick was so darn sexy. Voshon was boring. Nessy and Voshon had no chemistry what so ever. The pages smoked when Nessy and Vick interacted. Thank you for putting them together. And not the other way. Good writing as usual Sherelle.
I wanted her with Vick from TBE beginning! The chemistry was just fire between the two. His rawness had me like dayum girl you better get that man! It was just too good for such a short story!
This book was really good. Two men in love with one woman who has to figure out what she wants. The characters go through some funny and heartfelt scenes. Some scenes can be like a forest fire (HOT). Kudos to Sherelle Green for writing a good story.
