Forbidden Festivities
When my roommate breaks her ankle and needs someone to stand in for her annual ‘cruise’ with her boss, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
What makes it worse, is this ‘cruise’ is for rich people who want to avoid all things Christmas. In fact, just mentioning the holiday or wearing red can get you kicked off the boat. When I meet Eton Glass, my new boss, the young tech wiz who has turned his fortune into a bigger fortune, all I can think of is he’s the package I’d like to unwrap on Christmas morning.
I have to leave those fantasies on the dock because it’s clear, I’m here to do a job. Play his girlfriend and do as I’m told. Only, we are playing our parts a little too well and our feelings explode up against the wall on the anti-holiday love boat. When I get caught with a few forbidden festivities I’ve snuck aboard, my little attempt at holiday cheer just might be what ruins our Christmas. Or, maybe, it’s what saves us both.
Get your tinsel on, because Eton Glass is going to light up your Christmas tree. He and Kristina may not know where they are headed when they hit the high seas, but it doesn’t take long for them to be caught up in some pretty hot waves. Safe, no cheating, a few hard edges but always a happily ever after.

About the author
Nikolai Andrew
21 books49 followersNikolai Andrew has been writing stories as far back as he can remember. His elementary school teachers used to have him stay after class to try to explain some of his more creative work but with a to-die-for smile and wisdom beyond his years, he always managed to charm his way out of trouble. Not much has changed, except he's now found an outlet for his stories where he can show off a bit of his darkness, a dash of dominance and a sprig of hopeless romantic topped with a whole helping of hot.
When he's not writing, he's playing with his many aquariums, searching for rocks, enjoying cheap vodka and making waitresses blush. He's got a penchant for vintage Playboy's and Vargas girls and a weakness for giving out spankings and cookies. Drop him a line anytime. He loves to hear from readers. Especially their own ideas on what he should write next.

The couple: Eton and Kristina
Romance trope: insta-love; fake relationship
Length: 89 pages
Plot: Kristina's friend usually goes with her boss on an annual cruise, but she's sprained her ankle, so Kristina is a last-minute replacement. The cruise is mostly business, and it's for rich people who hate Christmas - no mention of Christmas is allowed, and Christmas decorations and colors are banned. Kristina finds that difficult, but it isn't difficult to spend time with Eton. She's supposed to be his fake girlfriend, but he's gorgeous and generous and pays attention to her. In fact, he adores her and their cruise is suddenly much more than an arrangement.
Commentary: All of the Christmas references were funny - Krissy Maas, Christmas Island, etc. I hate that there would be enough people that hate Christmas and are also rich to the point where they would book a whole cruise to avoid any little mention of Christmas. Even stranger, it didn't seem like Eton was so much of a Christmas hater as he was a businessman. That made it perfect that they got off at Christmas Island to visit Kristina's family. This was a fun, sexy story.

Everything changed it a moment...
I loved that this story had drama, but felt low drama at the same time. Both characters are honest with themselves from the very beginning, which makes it much easier to be honest with each other. I wasn't surprised by the climax, but it was still well done. The author jumped straight into the story and you learned what you needed as the story unfolded. Not the first time I've noticed this technique in his books, and I love it. It hints at a romance between some minor characters, and I hope he writes that as well!
