Bad Boy Bachelors #1
Bad Boy Bachelor Claus
They want me to pose as Santa this year.
And the media turns it quickly to "Naughty Santa."
Say what? You cannot be serious.
But it’s what I’m required to do if I want the billion-dollar family business come New Year's.
There’s always a catch.
The prize is just worth my efforts this time. Our sprawling chain of department stores are a cash cow like the world has never seen.
And it’s all mine.
New York’s hottest bachelor is on the hunt, dressed up as Mr. Claus and he’s looking for an elf that’ll hop off the shelf and entertain him.
Just my luck that she’s cute, spicy, and doesn’t put up with me. Thankfully she looks stunning in a tutu and elf shoes.
Too bad she hates my guts.
My playboy ways and smart-mouth remarks haven’t won me any favors with her over the last ten years and that’s not ever going to change.
Or is it? It is Christmas after all.
The world thinks I’m calling the shots, but they have no idea my little elf has me wrapped around her pointed little finger.

A little Elf on the Shelf in an adult, naughty way. Chadwick is an entitled rich heir to a family retail fortune has to play Santa for a month before taking over the family business. Tiffany is one of the company's top designers and can't stand the arrogant, playboy heir. She's forced to help him with the Santa events for a month. Their back and forth banter is hilarious and their chemistry is explosive. A little Hallmark, a lot naughty. This book will grab your attention right at the beginning and you'll find it hard to put down. Well written with great authors and an entertaining story line.I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Ruined (for me) by incongruities
I thought the story was cute, until about 60% of the way through when the main conflict arises between the two protagonists. Two female characters getting sloppily drunk at different work occasions felt forced, especially for Tinsley, who was previously shown to be a professional who lives for her job... just felt out of character. Suddenly she's a crying mess who makes poor decisions‽ Meanwhile the guy, who a few weeks before had his work assistant blowing off his one night stands for him and coming to work late, is amazingly put together, solving crises, fixing everything, and dispensing great advice.
There were missed opportunities for creating a meaningful build up and resolution, and for fleshing out the characters along the way. Despite being a main character, Tinsely felt like an afterthought. No friends outside of work? No explanation of her strained family relationships. Such a waste.

This one took me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it. I devoured it in two sittings, and only because I had to force myself to put it down and go to bed.
Tinsely and Chadwick weee great characters, and I really liked their chemistry and relationship. I liked the build up between them before anything happened, and it made me really believe in their relationship. Though it was a bit fast moving, it didn’t feel fast and it felt like they had a really genuine connection.
I liked that we got dual POVs in this story, and I also liked that the characters actually talked to each other about their feelings and their struggles instead of ignoring each other the whole time and letting miscommunication take over.
There were so many funny moments also balanced with some really sweet ones. The sexual chemistry between Tinsely and Chadwick was fantastic, and the spice was really good.
This was a fantastic holiday read with great characters, steamy scenes, and heart.

This was a feel good Christmas story with a few laughs thrown in. I loved Tinsley's story and how she was with Alistar. The whole Santa and Elf thing was fun and gave a softer side of both characters. The inevitable break up could have been skipped, it was more of a joke. But overall good read.
December 27, 2022
Eh I finished it by skimming. I think this would have made a better cheesy Christmas movie than book. This requires suspension of belief for everything you know about: department stores, marketing, Christmas campaigns, living in NYC, and a bunch of other small errors that break out of the story. Plus I hate it when a heroine has to be humiliated and the hero never experiences that on a similar scale.

Chadwick & Tinsley’s Christmas-Themed Office Romance Is A Feel-Good Holiday Read!
As the story opens, it is December 1st in New York City.
Alastair Bamford has donned a Santa Claus outfit for the past thirty years. As CEO of Bamford department stores, a company that had been in his family for generations now, he plays a very public role over the holidays. Part of the marketing campaign has him attending countless events – including fundraisers, company parties, the company tree lighting, and a variety of other public and private events. It is a month that has him working tirelessly. At sixty-five, however, he is finally ready to pass on the responsibility to the next generation. He had planned to retire and travel the world five years ago, but when his wife suddenly died around that time, work helped to give him purpose and keep him going. That, and he thought that Chadwick, his only child and heir, needed a little more time to grow into the role. This year, however, everything is lining up as he prepares for the announcement.
Tinsely Miller, twenty-eight, started her career at Bamford’s ten years ago. It is her dream job, and she wouldn’t trade it for anything. She never went to college, but that didn’t hold her back from rising in the ranks. Today she works at the corporate offices in Bamford Office Tower where she leads the events team. She earned a reputation for her Christmas cheer ten years ago when she was starting out and working on the retail floor. She had ended up getting locked in the store overnight once, and what she did that night caught the attention of the owner, leading to an invigorated and successful Christmas campaign that has become part of Bamford‘s Christmas tradition. Tinsely is happy as a clam as the Christmas season commences once again.
Chadwick Bamford, known as New York’s hottest bachelor, can’t imagine ever wanting to settle down. He enjoys his life of leisure. He works at Bamford’s, but being the owner’s son has certain privileges – such as routinely coming into work late. After all, it is hard to make it to the office bright and early each morning when there is a new babe in his bed every night. Chad might be impulsive, arrogant, and impatient, but his heart is mostly in the right place. He might not be timely, but he isn’t afraid of hard work. He still misses his beloved mother, and he doesn’t like to disappoint his father.
Chadwick’s father loves Christmas, but it wasn’t always so. It was following Tinsely Miller’s accidental overnight lock-in at the original Manhattan store ten years ago that his father’s eyes were opened to the real spirit of Christmas. Tinsley’s enthusiasm for the holiday was infectious, and she had a way of making the holiday magical. In the years since, his father’s public role during the Christmas season isn’t just about profit margins, but rather about spreading Christmas cheer.
When Alastair announces his retirement effective January first, and the appointment of Chadwick as CEO, he throws in a condition for his son. To ease the transition, Chadwick will be required to be the face of Bamford for the holiday season, stepping into the role his father has traditionally played. Santa suits are not traditionally considered sexy, so Chad has some concerns about his image. But when his father suggests a Christmas companion to help keep Chad organized, focused, and on time, he decides it won’t be so bad if he isn’t the only miserable soul. He loves teasing Tinsel, and what could be more entertaining than watching her squirm in an elf’s costume during her favorite month of the year? As the chemistry between the two develops, an undefined relationship begins. Despite their challenges, the couple eventually finds a very happy ending.
Wow! Chad and Tinsely’s Christmas-themed office romance will really immerse you into the holiday season. Their story is light and filled with Christmas cheer. Chad soon becomes known as Naughty Santa, and the costumes don’t seem to hurt his playboy reputation at all. Tinsely – or Tinsel, as Chad likes to call her – isn’t quite so lucky. She hates the elf outfits, but Chad doesn’t seem to mind them. He thinks she is adorable. The pair have known one another for a decade. They frequently share some teasing banter, but there has never been much beyond that. Chad’s priority has been his active social life, while Tinsely’s has been her career. She doesn’t have a boyfriend to distract her from work.
Chad gets by with the help of his assistant, Hugh Farlow, but just barely, hence the need for a Christmas companion. It is possible that Alistair created the position of Christmas companion with Tinsely in mind. Chad might have a good heart, but he sometimes lives in the clouds. Tinsely is grounded and therefore balances him. It is easy to see why they make such a good couple, even if they missed it themselves for so many years.
The couple starts out all business and teasing banter as usual, but thrown together one on one, they finally slow down and take notice of one another. The chemistry soon becomes obvious to them, but the concept of an office romance has problems. Chad would likely be immune from criticism as the new CEO, but Tinsely could easily become the object of ugly rumors should word get out. The appearances they make subject them both to public scrutiny, something Tinsely isn’t accustomed to. Their relationship begins in a bubble. It is new and untested. They face challenges when the bubble is burst, forcing them to confront ideas they aren’t yet ready to discuss.
Chadwick and Tinsely’s Christmas-themed office romance is a feel-good holiday read. It is nicely written. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are complex and real. The story is written in first person. The POV alternates between Chadwick and Tinsely. I rate this book 4.5 stars.

“Bad Boy Bachelor Claus” is a fun, holiday themed romantic comedy from authors Ali Parker and Weston Parker that can really be enjoyed at any time of year.
Chadwick is a guy who really likes to party, and a ladies’ man who truly enjoys being a wealthy bachelor. He’s not a degenerate though. He loves his dad and has great respect for the family business, Bamford’s. Tinsely has had to work hard for everything she has, and it’s been that way her whole life. She’s a young woman who adores Christmas, and she gets tremendous happiness from her job as the head of the events team at Bamford’s. She’s worked her way up through the company for a decade, since she was just 18, her hard work and enthusiasm paving her way.
When Chadwick’s father decides he’s going to retire, he makes the announcement on December 1st. He also announces that Chadwick is going to have to literally step into the Santa Suit and spend the month immersed in the joy of the holidays that Bamford’s tries to represent. Every Santa needs a capable elf as backup. When Tinsely is assigned the dreaded role of Chadwick’s elf, there’s nothing she can do except put on her jingly elf accessories and try to be enthusiastic about the huge amount of time she has to spend with Chadwick. It’s going to be tough for several reasons, including the feelings he brings out in her every time she sees him – an exciting combination of irritation, lust, and something she can’t quite figure out. Chadwick is thrilled to have the beautiful Tinsley by his side. He always reacts to her in ways he never reacts to anybody else. Although he doesn’t understand it, he absolutely likes it.
Chadwick and Tinsley have known one another for a decade so this isn’t an ‘instant’ anything story, yet the excitement of their new connection somehow does make it almost feel like one. The chemistry between them practically lights up the pages. Yes, part of that is steamy and hot, but part of it is also shown by great dialogue, banter and humor. I don’t want to give plot details but there are multiple times when Chadwick steps up and shows himself to be more than ‘just’ eye candy. A couple of those examples include how he deals with bad behavior by a talk show host, and by one of Tinsley’s friends at work. Both main characters evolved and changed for the better during the short time frame of this story. It was special to read this shortly before Christmas, but it will be just as good to revisit it in the heat of the summer.

Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year!!!
So that is the way Tinsley feels. She loves Christmas and everything that goes with it. She loves her work, and the stores that she gets to decorate for the season. She loves her boss and the people she works with.
But when she finds out that the owner of the company and her boss is retiring at the end of the year, she wonders what is going to happen?
Chadwick, the only son of the owner of Bamford's, loves his father. He loves working for his father and he knows that one he will be taking over for his father. But when his father tells him he is retiring and Chadwick will have to take over all of the December holiday comments, Chadwick does not know how to feel about that. This includes dressing up as Santa Claus, opening up a new store, riding on a float in the Christmas parade...special guest appearances and on and on!!!
Tinsley finds out that this is what Chadwick has to do and thinks it is so funny. Chadwick is gorgeous and women fall all over themselves to be with him. Tinsley just finds him full of himself and annoying.
But when they are thrown together, Tinsley has to dress like an Elf for the month of December to Chadwick's Santa Claus...she is not laughing anymore. She looks ridiculous and Chadwick looks like a HOT Santa. How is that fair?
What happens, either of them would have expected. They are actually having a great time.
You have to read all of the things these two get into. It is a great read during this season, but can be read anytime of the year.
Ciao

Holiday office romance.
Rating: 4.5 stars
This is a holiday enemy to lovers office romance, that was a fun read.
Chadwick Bramford is the handsome bad boy bachelor, women are always talking about and trying to get into his bed. He is the king of one night stands and sometimes has to use his assistant to get them out of his bed. He has no immediate plans on ever having a family or even a long term girlfriend. He thinks the Head of Events needs to lose up and stop being so serious, so he annoys her by giving her a nickname.
Tinsley is the head of events at Bramford's, she especially loves the Christmas season and usually goes all out decorating the offices and stores of Bramford. However, she thinks Chadwick needs to grow up and he especially needs to stop calling her Tinsel.
When Chadwick's dad decides it is time to resign and let Chadwick take over, he has added a clause. Chadwick has to spend the month of December playing as Santa to the many events the company will have and he needs to have an elf with him. Chadwick chooses Tinsley because she is so focused and should be able to keep him on track, plus she seems to love the season.
Tinsley definitely did not want this job but she is a team player. After a few events together they now have a new respect for each other and also develop an attraction. Can Tinsley be the one to change the bad boy bachelor?
The sexual chemistry between these two and the familiar banter makes this a great read.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read, Entertaining, Romantic, Witty, Wonderful characters

Santa falls in love with his Elf
Chadwick Bamford finds out that his Father is ready to retire and wants to hand over the company to him. But one stipulation he has to play Santa for the whole month at a lot of functions. They will be photo shoots and publicity functions. He must pick someone to be his Elf.
Tinsley has been working for the company for ten years as the party and event planner for all their stores. She was the one who headed decorating the stores. She always felt Chadwick was spoiled and arrogant. He always called her Tinsel. He knew she hated that name.
His father told him to pick some one to be his Elf and work alongside him with his publicity as Santa.
He picked Tinsley. She was so upset that he picked her. She had plenty of her own work to do with a new story opening in Time Square.
She was even more upset when she saw the Elf costumes she had to wear. Chadwick looked like a sex Santa and she looked ridiculous in her striped stocking and Elf suits.
What starts out as hatred slowly becomes a fun outing to each functions they went to. She saw another side of him. Someone with compassion and a funny side of him. He still would like to get under her skin but he was starting to care for her.
What once was animosity turn to respect and love.
I loved their chemistry and the way they complimented each other.
Another great hit by Weston and Ali Parker.
Love their stories of people who dislike each and turn to love and respect.
Steamy scene too

This was cute. There were a lot of fun and adorable moments that is sometimes borderline cheesy but not in an annoying way.
I mostly liked how it started. It really appealed to me and was excited to read it. I liked how albeit having a bit of attraction with each other, they didn't spend all their time together already lusting after the other. I wanted to see them build more trust and friendship between them before going there. However, the way they shifted into lovers felt quite abrupt to me. It seems like I wasn't eased out on the idea well and it was just a sudden shift on the way they see each other. The shifting in feelings is a really important phase to me, so I guess I just felt it lacking on the aspect.
Chadwick was funny and I liked how he banters in a good-natured manner with Tinsley, playfully jabbing at each other. I also adored his relationship with his dad. He was different than your usual broody alpha male types, he was more affectionate, sweet, and wasn't afraid to show his feelings especially to his family. Tinsley was also cute but she also had her moments that made me sigh. The communication problems with Chadwick didn't help either.
All in all, this was a cute, quick, and light read that feels a whole lot like a holiday romance movie.

Chadwick is a ladies’ man, his assistant is sometimes in charge of getting the lady out of this place. He never comes in early, perpetually late. When his father announces he is going retire in the New Year and lets him he will be required to play Santa Claus for various functions. When is told he will also have an elf with him, he chooses Tinsley to that elf.
Tinsley is a hard worker, has proven herself working her way up thru the company, she is head of the events team at Bamford’s. She adores Christmas, she and Chadwick are always teasing/bickering with each other. She is not happy about this elf, especially when she sees the costume she has to wear, when Chadwick looks like a Naughty Santa in his.
She has always been attracted to Chadwick, but did not spend a lot of time around him, this could be a challenge. Chadwick is not really aware of what feelings she in rising in him.
This is a slow burn, the pair have known each other since she started their ten years ago. It is just the sexual chemistry, it the back and forth banter that seems to fuel the fires. This was an awesome story, with the holiday theme.

This is one of those books that you just won't be able to put down as you'll be wanting to read the love story of Naughty Santa and his Sexy Elf - aka Chadwick and Tinsley [or as he calls her Tinsel much to her chagrin]. This is a love story about the playboy son of the company boss and the boss's 'go to woman' who delight in antagonising each other finally having to work together over the holiday season [he actually chooses her to annoy her]. Ali and Weston Parker have really out done themselves this time with, what I think, is their best Christmas novel yet! It is a delight to read. It's got fabulous characters and great storyline and plenty of heat between the two of them. Be prepared to laugh out loud as I certainly did. I think this is one book that I will be re-reading every Christmas to get me in the holiday spirit as it's such fun. I received a reader's copy of the book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most Definitely Recommended and Seasonal Greetings To You All!

There’s so many reading choices this Christmas season and it is amazing but also difficult to find a good ones sometimes. This is a good one. Do t hesitate. You’ll enjoy this read. The story follows Tinsley and Chadwick. Tinsley is the lead designer for one of the biggest department stores. This is a job she’s always dreamed of. Chadwick is basically there to take over and prove himself. He’s only got 30 days to do it. Both Tinsley and Chadwick are forced to work together. They are both smitten but it takes them time to come to term with their feelings. Tinsley is his match. She’s feisty and strong minded and doesn’t let him get away with anything. I like their banter and I liked Chadwick’s ways. It the grumpy mercurial man and the woman who’se his match. Entertaining and enjoyable

This book is sweet but also steamy. Chadwick is the heir-apparent of a department store chain but has also been known as a playboy. When his father announces his retirement, Chadwick is thrown into the festivities at Christmas and masquerades as Santa for various events. He needs a helper and chooses Tinsely, the event coordinator and the butt of his jokes about her name, calling her Tinsel, and her love of everything Christmas. They constantly snipe at each other and outwardly seem to despise each other. The banter is quite funny, but you just know they're going to fall in love. The characters are so good together. Tinsely loves her job and is sweet and lovable. Chadwick is gorgeous and cocky. The story is cute with some great love scenes. Altogether a great holiday read that can be enjoyed anytime. Loved it!

I am voluntarily leaving this review after receiving a free copy. This was such a great book! It definitely helped to put me more in a Christmas mood!!
Tinsley worked her way up the business chain with her expert decorating skills, majoring in Christmas decorating, and had her world turned upside down when she was assigned to be the assistant elf to the future CEO of her company.
Chadwick is a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas, but when his dad tells him in order to be the next CEO of their company, he has to play Santa Clause the whole month, he hand picks the perfect woman to be his elf.
Tinsley and Chadwick’s chemistry is off the charts! There were so many laugh out loud moments throughout the book. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it!

Sigh! This was the naughty version of a Hallmark Christmas movie. It’s sweet and sentimental and filled with all the magic and wonder of the holiday season. It’s also more than just a little bit spicy. Tinsley loves Christmas, but for her it’s all about her work. Chadwick has good memories of the holiday and for him it’s all about play. Will these two opposites be able to find common ground in time for their own seasonal miracle? I loved everything about this book. It kept me laughing and it made me “squee!” over the sweetness. There’s even a few of the secondary characters that I’m hoping we’ll see in stories of their own in the future.

Bad boy bachelor Claus. Ali & Wes
What a delightful fun, holiday themed laugh out loud storyline. Another winner from Wes and Ali
Chadwick is an entitled, rich, spoiled, player and son of the owner of Bamford’s. His father decides to retire and tells Chadwick he has a month to show him he’s ready to lead and also informs him that he must play Santa this year to all the functions during the month. His helper is Tinsley who will be his elf. She has worked her way up in the company, and has known Chadwick for years - him always calling her Tinsel.
Both grow during their month together- he playing Santa and she his elf Tinsel, with an attitude and bells on her shoes. Delightful story. Don’t miss it.

This is a delightful story about Chadwick Bamford and Tinsley Miller. Chadwick is next in line to be CEO of Bamford Company. His father is retiring at the first of the year. Chadwick job is to attend the events during the month of December for the upcoming holiday and promoting the Bamford company. Chadwick needed someone to be an elf to accompany him to the events. Chadwick selected Tinsley as his elf. Tinsley was not happy being chosen. Tinsley thought Chadwick was just a playboy and didn’t want to be bothered at all with the idea. Things get strange when both of them must be in costume during the entire month. I truly enjoyed the romance and love that both Chadwick and Tinsley found for each other. I recommend this wonderful Christmas story, this is my ARC review.

This book was so good I was absolutely enthralled from the beginning until the end and the storyline flows throughout the book. You will definitely love the characters and their banter back and forth. Chadwick Bamford is a playboy and needs to grow up and get serious about his father's company if he plans to run it . Tinsley Miller works at Bamfords .She loves her job and loves everything about Christmas ,but when she's nominated to play an elf and spend all her time with Chadwick aka Santa will sparks fly not the feisty comments but the tingles of something more? Weston And Ali knocked this book out of the park with all the feels and emotional connects with the characters. It will definitely get you in the mood for Christmas that's for sure.

Naughty Santa? Yes please!
This one has climbed to the top of my list as one of my favorite Christmas stories this season. It was funny, super sexy and sweet. I totally fell for the player that is Chadwick Bamford. He actually had a big heart and I loved the relationship he had with his dad. Tinsel the elf was a great nickname for Tinsley, the queen of Christmas. These two might have started out as enemies, but as lovers they totally lit up like a Christmas tree. Total holiday TBR worthy!
‘ “Baby, I'm about to make you feel so good there isn’t any room for regrets.”
My body thrummed with excitement and blood rushed to all the right places. “Put your money where your mouth is.”
“Oh,” he grinned, “I know exactly where I want to put my mouth.” ‘

Not really a bad boy
Chad is not at all a bad boy. He's a little cocky but still kind-hearted, genuine, principled, respectful. It's a breath of fresh air to read of a billionaire hero who has no mummy or daddy issues, loves and respects borh his parents, and is grateful for their love, guidance, and upbringing.
Alastair is a loving dad who not only believes in his son, is proud of him, and guides him without being meddlesome.
Tinsely is loving, resourceful, and genuine. She is ready to accept her mistakes and also ready to take chances.
It's nice to not read about malicious colleagues or other entitled billionaires who are out to make life hell for every one through deceit and selfish disdain.
I liked this story because it's straight forward and genuine.

Delightful, such a feel good story for this time of year.
Chadwick is a playboy millionaire - his Dad has decided to retire and hand over the reigns on his empire to his only son. Only condition is, he dresses as Santa and does all the ‘Christmas events’ he used to do in the run up to Christmas.
Chadwick needs an Elf and who but Tinsley aka Tinsel, who hates his guts, is the obvious choice.
The story is full of fun and laughter and lovely events and Chadwick aka naughty santa and Tinsel start on a road of getting to know each other.
What happens come Christmas when the last event is over and they no longer have to role play.
You need to read and find out yourself.
First book ive read by the authors and won’t be the last.

I love a good Christmas story and this story did not disappoint.
Tinsley was the queen of Christmas for Bamford's Department store. Chadwick is the son of the owner and will one day take over the store. In the meantime, he has to dress up as Santa for the holiday season. He needs an "elf" to help him and he chooses Tinsley.
I love the sexual banter between "Tinsel" the elf, and Chadwick the Naughty Santa. They don't give into their mutual attraction until a snowstorm keeps them locked in together.
The romance is beautiful, but it really is the Christmas theme that makes this story so amazing.
