Santa's Lay

by Octavia Jensen

A Steamy Holiday Novella

‘Tis the Season to be Naughty

When my best friend hired me as a Christmas elf at her adult toy store, I didn’t expect to come in contact with the hottest Santa this side of the equator.
I also didn’t expect him to have an accent that made my knees weak or a gaze that made me want to bend over, but he did.
Kent Baker was everything I’d never wanted, and yet, one touch from him had me questioning my commitment issues and wondering if he felt the same. Would I find myself in a relationship for Christmas, or end up just another notch on Santa’s bedpost?

4 Candy Cane Dildo Stars ⭐

Now this was the Christmas read I’ve been waiting for. Filthy, naughty, pervy and no apologies here for being turned on by it all.

How I ended up getting recruited as a slutty elf was beyond me, but the pay was good and the perks were even better.

Haddy is hired to play an elf at her bestie’s sex toy store. If the outfit wasn’t ridiculous enough, posing alongside 'melt my panties' Santa could possibly send her over the edge.

Except when ‘Daddy Christmas’ is putting on the moves with that hot AF accent, Haddy would be dead inside to walk away from what is being offered. Bang your brains out sex. And Kent can deliver…

“God, that feels... please don’t stop.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it. You’re so damn beautiful, Hadley. Need yeh to come all over my cock... been fuckin’ dreaming about it.”

Obviously, this book will only be suited to likeminded dirty girls, but this was downright festive raunchy erotica, if that even makes sense. Two very liberated individuals exploring their fantasies in full Christmas spirit. So hot. 🎅

DNF at 60%... This was supposed to be a steamy, feel good Christmas novella, but instead I got an H that talked like a pirate and an h that was immature & jealous. Next!

[Monique · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hot and spicy short read with an actual Santa fetish. Who knew!

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one was good had alot of jealous Haddy. Lol so Hadley is doing a favor for her friend who owns a sex shop and she's attracted to Kent who is the sexy Santa giving all these ladies boners.. their relationship is hot/cold because Kent is a flirty guy when he's Santa and that does bug Hadley but doesn't say nothing because there not a couple. But they flirt up a storm. And have some similar kinks between the two. But there is alot of pull away at first for Had since she knows even if it's a one time thing she'll get attached to Kent. But that doesnt stop Kent from showing her he's intrested in her. It's hard since he says one thing and flirts as Santa the next. Kent does some stuff that made me drop down my rating.. when they were at the bar.. but ugh.

They do get their act together and take that leap with a pervey friend who wants to know or see more.

Ow (clients flirt with H), tiny drama, secondary charas, sexy times, no virgins

Hadley decides to help her friend, Stella, out at her sex shop for the holidays as a sexy elf… while she’s there she meets Kent aka Daddy Christmas. Hadley is instantly attracted to Kent but keeps a distance because Kent isn’t the type of man you hit & quit, but he’d most likely hit & quit you… after a few days, kent lays on the moves & Hadley doesn’t resist for very long.

This book has such 5 star potential for me. I really really loved it, the spice was fucking top notch but something just ruined it for me & this is totally just me as a person and my preferences in my Heroes.

IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW. STOP READING NOW.

Kent is a huge fucking flirt. His job is to be a sexy Santa at work, AN ADULT SHOP, which is fine! Girls come in, they sit on his lap, they flirt & he flirts back too. The whole time Hadley is jealous (not extreme jealously but just like “grr i want him don’t touch him” but nothing has happened between them so what can you do?
BUT. They finally do & it was fucking everything. The man is a god & everything is great until the two go out to get a drink after & the man fucking flirts with every woman & when Hadley tries to lay claim in a way, he acts fucking weird about it & dances with someone else. Hadley ends up leaving & the next day at work, HE acts offended & mad. Gaslights her & tells her she has to apologize to him for leaving the bar while he dance with another woman… then after, gets her *there* so many times that she does end up apologizing to him. Get the fuck outta here dude.
After that, it killed it for me. The smut that followed was fire but i couldn’t enjoy it bc that just bugged me so fucking much. It ruined the last 60% of the book for me. You guys know I’m all about the grovel and i know that they were new but i think what pissed me off was the gaslighting & him making HER apologize. And then when she did he was like “ok I’m sorry too.”
Smh.
Overall 3.5 stars bc i get that what bothered me, is something that’s probably just a personal preference and it might be something others wouldn’t be phased by.

Atrocious. Dnf around 60%

[Simone Blue · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a delightful Christmas tale! This book is refreshingly free of virgins and innocence – both the elf (h) and Santa (H) are well experienced in dirty deeds prior to meeting. But experience doesn’t mean that you are cold hearted, and this book - mixed within all its lovely filth and naughty bits - is about the worry of having your heart broken when you let someone in.

I highly recommend this book – it’s quick, fun and dirty!

[Alexandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

You know what? It delivered what it promised to deliver in a spicy novella…you got some tension, jealousy, breeding, dominant vibes, daddy vibes and exhibitionism. A+

What started as a cute little read took a really strange turn into something I didn’t care for. I would pass.

[Beth Roger aka Katiebella_Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rated up a tad. It cute but more p*rn than plot

2.75⭐️
3.75 🌶

Hadley has agreed to dress up as a sexy elf for Christmas time to help promote her friends sex shop. Unfortunately, Kent, the man playing Santa, is more than she bargained for. Or maybe fortunately......😋

“I like ducks.”
Hadley's obsession with ducks is absolutely adorable. It gives her the little quirk that makes a character real and the plot more than just spice. The way Kent uses her love of ducks to win her heart is swoon worthy and worth the read.

“Come on, little duck. Sit on Daddy Christmas’ lap.”

A sweet and spicy novella. Perfect for a little Christmas cheeky cheer.

I'm not a fan of Dom/Sub relationships. It's top over the top or overbearing here. C*ckwarming is also not my kink. I may or may not have skipped over that scene.

My only complaint with this novella is.....They're in a sex shop and can't find a condom?!

“Santa’s little sex toy. Gonna f*cking ruin you, slutty little elf.”

All in all it's cute but more p*rn than plot

[Sarah | Retro Girl Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Hadley’s friend Stella asks her to be a naughty Christmas elf at her adult store, she doesn’t know how to say no. She agrees, but the last thing she expected was to meet someone. But when she first sees Kent, the attraction is instantaneous. But Hadley had commitment issues, and she isn’t looking for a relationship, no matter how irresistibly attractive the store Santa is. Will they end up together, or will they part ways after the holidays are over?

Okay, so I might be a little obsessed with the author’s writing. She’s absolutely wonderful, and the steamy scenes are just brilliant!!! Hadley. I liked how she was bold, sassy, and knew what she wanted. Kent. My oh my, this man is amazing!!! He’s so incredibly charming, and I love the banter between him and Hadley. Their chemistry sets the room on fire. This is the perfect holiday read, although of course it can be enjoyed year round!!! I give this 5 steamy stars!!!

I needed something to get me out of a book slump, and this fit the bill. It's not the real Santa (or is it), but it was close enough for me.

[Nantia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it for dickmas 2023.
Quick and funny and Smutty as hell.
Very well written for a tiny book and the characters are seriously to die for.
Only problem? After one particularly scene seems i was missing an important plot point when the relationship turned from pure erotic to sth with feelings. Loved it either way.

Santa Baby… 🥵

🥵🥵 Theirs nothing like a sexy Santa to get you in the Holiday spirit! 😂
Hadley and Kent were 🔥🔥🔥! Sure their wasn’t a whole lot of romance, just insta-lust and pure chemistry, but it was sexy AF!
Kent is working as a Santa for Harley’s friends sex shop and Hadley is the sexy Santa helpers Elf.
Sparks fly instantly and the rest is history. 😉

This book was hot. A quick read. Super steamy. And festive 🎅🏽🎄. I can definitely see the author adding to this. We could go into more of Hadley’s sister, Kent’s family….. their true test of if he can stop “enjoying the attention women give him”…. I enjoyed this novella a lot!

This was my first story by this author, but I’m definitely going to go check out more!

…“You’ve been a naughty girl” and “Are you gonna be a good girl for Santa?”…


*Overall 4.5/5
*Heat? 5/5
*First person POV - Hadley only
*MF Romance
*Light BDSM
*Quick Read - 1.5hrs ish

I need a min🥵🥵🥵
This book was something else, it has everything in such a short read, you have the cuteness, sexual tension, jealousy, and smut and I mean S.M.U.T!
I love the whole build up between Haddy and Kent, it keeps you gripped and their time together is fucking explosive - literally.
The whole book is so christmassy too, which always makes me happy! There are also Christmas lights involved, and they are not used for hanging either. 😏.
I highly recommend this short, very, very hot Christmas read! Your partners can thank me later😘

[Esther · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my first book by this author and i really enjoyed it. I will never look at candy canes or Christmas lights the same way again. The only thing I didn't like was that the main characters read younger than the age they were supposed to be.

Quick and hot

Spicy and fun!
A short hot read with likeable characters and believable chemistry! Will read this author again for sure

[Krystal (LeeLovesBooks_) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Who wouldn't want a Adult Store version of Santa who loves to praise and use Christmas lights to light up the bedroom? 🥵🥵

Would have LOVED to have the male POV included but pretty good read.

I am part of a Discord group and one of the members recommended this book to someone else on there and I of course went and looked it up and decided I needed to read it. It wasn't even on my radar before that. 

This book had me laughing so hard. I loved the banter between the characters and the sex scenes were amazing. The drama was believable and not to over the top plus they added to the hilarity of it too. I love the sex positivity when it comes to what women want and not just the men. This was just a quick festive read with some pretty steamy scenes and I want to read more by this author. 

[Cat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Novella between Hadley and Kent. Hadley works as a sexy elf for a sex toy shop and Kent is playing Santa and letting women take pictures on his lap. He's not ACTUALLY Santa. This one was really hot, had some great BDSM representation and fair warning it includes a breeding kink.

It was much better than I had expected given the title, honestly. I pretty much devoured it.

[moonydew · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars…
I’ve read a few Santa themed novellas over the past week but this one was by far the kinkiest. I wasn’t expecting a dom/sub situation at all but he was really dirty. I liked that he was written with an accent and I liked how they worked at a sex shop.

I really disliked how he was in the beginning tho. Not sure how it took her being upset for him to stop being a Dick, and I’m a jealous bitch like her so I don’t blame her for being worried. I did like the way he treated her sister when she was nasty and I’m glad no one ended up joining them since that’s not my fav.

4/5 on spice. 4/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears. I may be rating this too kinky just because I didn’t realize it had it but all well

[Emma Carter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hadley is working as a slutty elf for her friend’s sex you shop and Kent is the super sexy Santa she is working alongside. They are instantly attracted to each other and well…for an 87 page novella I’m sure you can guess how the rest goes. Pros: Hadley gets tied up with Christmas lights and I learned what 🐔warming means. Cons: I don’t love BDSM, so that aspect caused it to loose a star for me. But if you are into BDSM this is the book for you! Honestly, the more I think about it…it is just deliciously absurd in the best way. We also love sexually liberated woman, more of that in books! Hadley is experienced and she knows what she wants and Kent is more than willing to give ⭐️ thx @literaryalexandra for the rec ❄️❄️

Merry Christmas. 😬

This little novella, albeit the almost goofy cover, is actually fairly well written and a good quick read. I’m a huge fan of Christmas everything and I just had to read it after my best friend sent it to me.

The plot and premise was a little crazy but it made it all the more intriguing and interesting to read. The Santa’s spoken lines were a bit much with all the ‘yeh’s however.

[Heather_Readsalot · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars

This book is erotica more than a romance, though the author tries to take it in a romance direction at the end.

There are some seriously hot scenes in this book and others than fall a little flat for me, or at least didn't fit. That being said, it was very high 🌶️ and at less than 90 pages there was a LOT packed in.

[dais · Rating 5 out of 5]

THIS WAS HOT AF 🔥
Loved the flirting and the sexual tension between Kent and Hadley, like the build up just made the smutty scenes so much better!!
The smut was incredible.
also where can I find my own Kent Baker?!? As I would very much like a man who will tie me up with Christmas lights and breed me 😮‍💨
