Well, you know, it's short, but it's a TL Swan novella, and I love the way she writes so I was bound to enjoy this.
Add to it the grumpiness and growliness and manliness of the hero and... sold!
"No woman ever complained about my hands before." His eyes rise to meet mine. "They like ‘em rough."
I'll keep this short. Holly needs to go to Alaska for work, but she misses her flight. She gets a car to drive herself, but then it's raining hard and she has an accident. The car is stuck, she has nowhere to go. Enter Jack, the mountain man, light-years away from anything she's used to, who rescues her, when the hotel is closed, offers her a place to stay.
"He hasn’t been with a woman in seven years and, oh my God, I'm going to get it good. This is Alaskan porn at its fucking best."
These two are complete opposites, and this is opposites attract and forced proximity at its best. They're instantly drawn to each other, there's chemistry in spades, and once it's on, it's really on. I loved all their moments together.
"It won't be Christmas without you."
They're in love in a week, I was in love with both of them in just a few pages. I'd like this to be turned into a full-length novel because I feel there's a lot I don't know about these two. Still, it gave me holiday vibes and all the feels at the end. What more could I ask for, really?

It’s my third year getting these TL Swan short stories. I am now waiting for Gabriel Ferrara AND Mr. Prescott. Not cool!
The Expert
"It’s tax deductible because he has a legitimate consulting business he works out of."
"What does he consult on? Vagina waxing?"
Elizabeth is trying to win a major account for her business, but her ex is also in the running for it. She’s not looking forward to seeing him again, so she’s given a weird idea—what if she shows up with a hot guy? An escort—an expert—but with absolutely no sex involved.
"Like when was the last time your body was used for pleasure? No romance, no lies, or pretenses… just thoroughly well fucked."
However, that’s out the window because Thomas is… wow. And he shows her what she’s been missing all along.
My only issue? It doesn’t have an HEA. Elizabeth comes out empowered, but it’s hinted that she’ll end up with someone else.
Mr. Prescott
"I promised I would do it for her, every last thing. And I’m determined. I’m living my life for the two of us now."
Alora signs up for an exclusive kink club so she can fulfill someone else’s last wish. The premise is interesting: she needs to exert control, Mr. Prescott needs to relinquish it. So they’re paired up. Totally anonymous, no names exchanged.
"His touch is magical, almost otherworldly. Dominance, reverence, and fire all rolled into one."
It’s supposed to be one night to live out whatever fantasies they have, but there’s too much want and raw desire from the start. I think they both forget why they were even there. So much so that they break the rules and stay one more night together.
She wants him, and, oh, does he want her. But they still part ways.
"Mr Doe. I don’t know how, I don’t when…." I smile fondly and close my eyes as I make my Christmas wish. "May we meet again."
A full-length book is coming, and I can’t wait to see Alora and Mr. Prescott together again!

A cute little novella! The plot made me giggle because of how unrealistic everything was but nonetheless it was an adorable book.

This was just not very good and had nothing to do with Christmas lol and after reading it I have no idea what the title has to do with the book..."His Christmas List"? This was very obviously written super quickly, no serious editing or planning and it just didn't do much for me.
Also there were two quotes in this novella:
"Oh...you're big," I whimper. "No," he smiles against my neck as his teeth graze my skin, "you're small." I giggle, because that's a blatant lie."
and
"Hurry up and hurt me. Hurt me hard."
I know I've complained about these exact quotes in another review I've written, but not for a T.L. Swan book apparently so that's confusing. Is there a way to search your own reviews for text? No idea how I can find this review I'm thinking of, but anyway I hate the first quote because it sounds like she's saying she has a big vagina 😅 and the second one is just weird and not sexy to me. So the mystery of how I've read these exact words, but not by T.L. Swan is unsettling.

TL Swan is an auto click/buy author for me, and I will devour anything that she writes. That includes these little short stories! She adds to this each year, and I have loved every single one. They are the perfect little thing to read, and some she even plans to write full books for!!
The two that I read this year was The Expert and Mr Prescott. They were hot asf, and were such a perfect little treat!
Mr Prescott is being worked on for a full book, and I honestly cannot wait, that little teaser was so damn hot 🥵 and I need more!!

His Christmas list is made up of three short stories.
The first story is The Christmas Angel. Zoe gets a flat tire on her way home from the gym and attempts to fix it. Dylan a police officer stops and helps her get the tire changed and it seems to her that they have a connection. She didn't get his number and keeps thinking of him but thinks that she will never see her again. Until one night he shows up at her house and asks to come in a search the premises.
“Well, Zoe, there’s something you should know about me,” he says in his deep raspy voice, he gets onto his knees and looks up at me from the ground, “I always finish what I start.” The air crackles between us.
The second story is The Bonus. Grace works for Gabriel Ferrara at his media company in New York City and has had a crush on him for the seven years that she has worked for him. She watches him go on dates with all of these woman and as his assistant buys them gifts for him. She decides that she's not going to do it anymore and is going to resign and move. Her last day is the day of the office Christmas party and she is going to make him notice her. He does and they have just this one night together.
To my Gracie, Forever yours, Gabriel xo I screw up my face in tears as I hold the bracelet to my chest, he loved me. In his own messed up way, he loved me.
The third story is Akaskan Jack. Holly is to fly to Anchorage Akaska first a meeting for Ferrara media and her PA is sick and unable to go. She decides that she can handle it and goes alone. Except nothing is going as planned and is a disaster starting with her missing her flight. She finds a flight to Fairbanks Alaska and will get a car to get her to Anchorage. It's raining heavily and she goes off the road and a man comes to help her. Jack drivers her to town but the hotel is closed for the holiday so he tells her that she will stay with him. Her meeting is canceled and she stays the week with Jack and has never felt anything like she does with him. The week ends and he asks her to stay but she must return to New York.
"We met for a reason; I truly believe that,"
These were cute fast reads Christmas reads. I look forward to more from TL Swan in the future!

I didn’t love it, and I didn’t hate it. With only 66 pages and 3 chapters I don’t even know how to give it a proper rating lol.
Holly’s having a very bad day. First she misses her flight, then has to drive in a rain storm at night and ends up getting in an accident. A “mountain man” comes to the rescue and the only option she has is to stay at his place in the middle of nowhere until she can figure out what to do the next day.
So unexpected, TL Swan dropping a “Christmas” novella and I immediately had to drop everything and read it. I put Christmas in quotations because the only thing Christmas about it was that the shops were decorated.

•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen
💝His Christmas list de T.L Swan
Argumento:
Jack de Alaska
Cuando la chica de la ciudad, Holly, hace un viaje de negocios a Alaska, no estaba preparada.
Su asistente dijo que estaba enferma, perdió su vuelo y luego tuvo que conducir durante horas en plena noche.
Agregue a eso, una tormenta, un accidente automovilístico y un salvador gruñón, Jack.
Cuando Holly se ve obligada a pasar la noche en la cabaña de Jack.
Obtiene más de lo que esperaba.
Alaska, donde el clima es salvaje, al igual que los hombres.
Mí humilde opinión:
🎄No puedo superar lo corto que fue este librito! La historia era simple y no original pero estaba contada de una forma que me enganchó. Me gustó tanto y los personajes que al final quería fuera más largo!
La historia de Jack y Holly es sexy, dulce y divertida. A pesar de lo breve que fue dio la sensación de algo de desarrollo en la relación romántica, se conocen y hay atracción, lujuria y luego con el pasar de los días se van enamorando. Ojalá esas escenas hubieran estado escritas en lugar de decir solo que pasaron tiempo juntos una semana. Pero bueno, dio la sensación de que los protagonistas conectaron de una forma profunda. Sip, una semana es una locura para enamorarte y mudarte de una gran ciudad o otra completamente diferente pero en épocas de navidad todo es posible, lo acepto.
El final, fue típico de las películas románticas, Jack va a buscar a Holly a Nueva York pero ella también había decidido ir a Alaska con él. Por qué no había aunque sea un epílogo? Me dio un poco de rabia eso.
Le quito puntos que no hubiera suficiente vibra navideña. His Christmas list: Su lista de navidad, no me vi el sentido el nombre del relato! Esperaba una temática más navideña y no tuve eso, solo se menciona al final y sentí que la historia continuaba y me perdía la mejor parte.🎄

Adorable short story
TL Swan never fails to deliver all the feels. I'd love to see Holly and Jack's story extended to a novella or full length novel.

Each of these stories leave you a bit of hope.
But gave me a broken heart...
I know that life is full of challenges. I expect them. But each of these glimpses of life left me sad and empty.
Don't misunderstand. The writing is exceptional, and drags you right in. I read each word like an addict, anxious for the next. Breathless with anticipation. Perhaps that is my problem. I lived the stories; felt every moment with an intensity. That is why we read in the first place, to live somewhere else, as someone else. Step out of life, and live the fantasy. But these moments of fantasy seemed to enhance the loneliness, rather than relieve it, even temporarily. This is well worth reading; and beautifully done. That it left me wanting more, is my problem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 🌶🌶🌶🌶
There was only one thing I didn’t like about this, and it was that it was over too soon.
I loved this novella, and with it being under 70 pages, naturally, I devoured it🤪
If you’re in the mood for strangers to lovers and forced proximity with spicy scenes, get onto this ASAP👏🏼
This short story is the beginning of a collection in which TL Swan will be adding to every year, and is only available to download for 28 days from the release date.
As Head of Acquisitions for Ferrara Media, Holly is set to fly to Alaska for an important meeting just before Christmas.
Things don’t start off too good when her assistant calls in sick at 5am and can’t go with her.
Holly’s adamant she’ll be fine on her own until she misses her flight. She can’t take the private jet as Mr. Ferrara is using it and she can’t even get a charter.
After managing to get a last minute flight, she lands in Fairbanks and rents a car to take the seven hour drive to Anchorage.
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong that day, and when Holly skids off the road during a storm and crashes her car, that was the cherry on top.
Jack saw the headlights of Holly’s car skid off the road from his house so he quickly rushes down to help her.
He finds her soaking wet with a sprained ankle, in her business attire, and offers to drive her to the closest hotel to stay the night at, only to find it closed.
The only other option is for her to stay at his house until tomorrow.
Holly and Jack were complete opposites but were perfect for each other.
When Holly managed to crack Jack open, their conversation was effortless. They bonded over their broken marriages, life and work.
The attraction towards each other was instant and sexual chemistry undeniable.
They were both broken but when together, found themselves whole again.
Their relationship albeit fast and how it evolved in just a week, felt natural to read about.
From strangers who were unsure and awkward around each other, to friends who found comfort in one another, and then to lovers who can’t live without the other, I was obsessed and left wanting more from them!

When an author usually writes books with over 500 pages and then can write a fantastic story in 66 pages that is true talent! And Tee has that in abundance.
What a Christmas treat Alaskan Jack is. It is a heartwarming, sexy read where fate takes over in this opposites attract insta love romance.
Perfect for the holidays when time is crucial to everyone as can be read in an hour.

5+ Stars
Mr Expert
This was by far my favourite! Thomas Stone, I was a mess for that man! He was so sure of himself without being an arsehole, he was so hot my insides were melting and his words...gah melt me into a puddle. I found myself relating him to Tristan Miles but with darker features. He had the funny banter, the charm, the dirty words and the heat. That man was sex on a stick and he knew how to use his tools! Elizabeth, I would gladly exchange places with you for a weekend away with that man Gah, I loved him dearly and I'm praying to the gods that Tee write a full standalone with him in it! Adored it!
Mr Prescott
I wasn't sure about this one when it started, but as it progressed I was obsessed! The dynamics were hot, dominant, panty-melting and more. It was so well written, I actually forgot I was reading. Together Mr and Miss Doe had me wanting more of their powerful connection, the heat they brought to the pages had me hot, hot, hot!!! This was a perfect teaser and I can't wait for the standalone to come next year.

2 new novellas
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
His Christmas List by TL Swan. KU borrow, Alexa app listen. This is the fourth edition of Tee's Christmas novella anthology. Three were part of last year's edition: 'Alaskan Jack' (originally released in 2020 in a multi-author anthology, then self-published in 2021), 'The Christmas Angel' (added in 2022), and 'The Bonus' (added in 2022). This year's edition includes two new novellas: 'The Expert' and 'Mr Prescott.' JP
The Expert (new). Dual POV. OW/YM, one bed, fake relationship with an escort. Elizabeth Burchmore (over 36; CEO; divorced, no children) and Dr Thomas Stone (36; doctor and escort). 5 chapters of healing and fun. Elizabeth seems to have conquered her goals. These are new lead characters; Cameron and Ashley Stanton are mentioned. This novella does not end with a HEA/HFN couple. In TL Swan's FB group, she commented that this will become a full novel at some point in the future. 2 out of 5 on my spice scale.
Mr Prescott (new). Dual POV. Edward Prescott (aka Mr Doe/Boss) and Alora (aka Miss Doe/Doe). Age gap, dirty weekend with an anonymous stranger. 7 chapters that left me wanting so much more. Edward first appeared in Mr Spencer and had a very brief appearance in The Do-over. This novella does not end with a HEA/HFN couple. The full novel is supposed to be released in 2024. 3 out of 5 on my spice scale.
Alaskan Jack (unchanged re-release). Dual POV. Holly McMillan (divorced; Ferrara Media's Acquistions Manager) and Jack Stevens (widower; builder). White knight/damsel in distress, forced proximity. 3 chapters weren't enough, I need more Jack and Holly. Both main characters are new characters; the FMC works for Gabriel Ferrara. When it was originally released in 2020, TL Swan commented in her FB group that there will be a full novel for this story at some point in the future. Ends in a HFN. 2 out of 5 on my spice scale.
The Christmas Angel (unchanged re-release). Dual POV. Dylan Andrews (police officer) and Zoe Armitage (26; lawyer). Cop/damsel in distress. All new characters, no mention of a full novel for this one that I can find. 5 chapters with a sweet HFN ending. 2 out of 5 on my spice scale.
The Bonus (unchanged re-release). Dual POV. Gabriel Ferara (CEO) and Grace Porter (32; CEO's assistant). Boss/employee, forbidden, 7 year crush, surprise pregnancy. 5 chapters, big cliffhanger, no HEA in this novella. The full novel is *finished* and is supposed to be released in 2024. 2 out of 5 on my spice scale.

4 great stories and 1 average one
I look forward to this book every December. I read it for the first time in 2022 and the 2023 version has 2 new short stories that make up 42% of the book.
The Expert was 5 🌟 about a mature, childless women whose dhead husband traded her for a younger model. Her assistant hires an expert escort to accompany her on a major conference where her ex and his new wife will be and they are competing for a business account. She gets way more than her money worth in this spicy weekend. It sets her nicely for a new beginning.
Mr Prescott - 2,5🌟 I feel that any story needs to be believable at some level, even if the concept is absurd and utterly preposterous. This one was not, and it erked me to read something that makes no sense.
The other 3 stories were there last year and I loved rereading them. They are 4 or 4,5 🌟 all stories are quite steamy with a hint of kink sometimes.
Great book. Highly recommend it.💖😍💗

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐓: 🥵 I need a Thomas Stone in my life asap! I loved Elizabeth, she was extremely down to earth &relatable. At first I wasn’t sure if I would like the cockiness coming from Thomas but he grew on me.
* 𝐌𝐑. 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐓: I thought the spice was spicing in The Expert but I was most certainly wrong. 🔥🥵. I’m so excited to hear this will have its own book in 2024! I can’t wait to see where it leads! There are a lot of questions I want answered that will hopefully come when the book is released.
* 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋, &𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 were stories from last year’s His Christmas List. I enjoyed revisiting them. They were extremely well written &come with the perfect amount of spice.
* I highly recommend reading this Christmas collection! It gives you a taste of what TL Swan’s writing can do!
Themes:
* Kink club
* Fake dating
* Grumpy sunshine
* Workplace romance

Wheeewwweeeee!!! What a ride!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I loved every single steamy, kinky, crazy moment of these stories! T.L. Swan has this unique way of making me completely and hopelessly obsessed with her characters. The tension and drama, mixed in with the steamy situations, are just PERFECTION! 🙌 I need more of this, immediately.

Super cute and sweet holiday novella. I need a full length Alaskan mountain man novel from TL Swan!
December 26, 2021
Another great read from TL Swan! It’s a Christmas novella and just what I needed. Jack was everything sexy and I loved that it was in Alaska.
This romance put a huge smile on my face and I hope we get to see more of them.
Thanks TLS for this sweet novella!

Beautiful story
Jack and Holly’s story was beautiful, witty, and sexy…and I loved every second of it. For such a short story, it was developed in a way it didn’t feel like a quick read at all. Loved it!!!
