Another absolutely wonderful addition to the Little Cakes series! I loved Adam and Rose so much.

There must be something very special in the Little Cakes frosting because it brings Daddy's and Little together every time.

A chance meeting while looking for a stuffie brings Rose something she's been waiting for, a Daddy of her very own. And the cherry on top....he owns a bubblegum factory!

[Gsmitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Santa's Kiss by Pepper North and Paige Michaels is the ninth book in the Little Cakes series and it was scrumptious! Rose and Adam are such a sweet duo.

Rose is adorable and sweet and driven and coming to terms with what she wants in life, and how to balance that with what she has.

Adam is caring and dominating and knows exactly what he wants and is not afraid to go after it, doing whatever he needs to do for their shared happiness.

There is so much love and sweetness, a little spice, everything nice, and lovely moments with familiar faces! Two business owners balancing work with life and discovering what really matters. It's a delightful festive read!

So, if you're looking for an endearing read that'll make your heart smile, look no further than Santa's Kiss!

P. S. So excited for Fudge Crunch; these characters have me curious!

Omg! What a perfect couple! A stuffie building Little and a bubblegum factory owner Daddy. Could it be any better of a match?

She's a hardworking woman trying to get a fledgling business booming and he's an equally hardworking man in an established family business. They have to figure out how to cut out time to be together. Loved this story and it is one of my top favorites of this series.

Another great addition to this adorable series. Adam and Rose’s story is a real winner. Adam needs a present for his niece and guess who happens to own a Stuff-It store in the Mall. After a little rocky start they soon realize they are meant to be together. How they accomplish this makes for a wonderful read!

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this addition to the Little Cakes Series! Adam and Rose meet when he comes to her Stuff-It store to buy a present for his niece. I loved Adam and Rose, both were likable and engaging characters, and I really enjoyed their connection. A terrific read and one I recommend.

Another wonderful read as another Daddy finds his very special Little girl
This was a wonderful read and I guarantee that once you begin reading you will not be able to put the book down until you reach the very end and discover the final outcome of this story. I guarantee that you will love the interactions between the delightful Rose Stewart that has a new business called Stuff-It which specialise in the making and stuffing of individual stuffies for customers.

Adam Connell is running late when he just manages to reach Stuff-it with only seconds to spare before she closed for the night, he is buying a gift for his niece and she has been speaking off the store and all the wonderful stuffies and he knows that this is the ideal present to make a little girl very, very happy indeed.

Adam almost instantly knows that he has found that one person he has been looking for over a number of years and as he spends time with Rose in her store, he can see that she is obviously a Little. When he speaks with her about her business and also about her feelings towards him, she says that she would like to meet him again and they decide to visit Little Cakes where there first treat is Santa’s kiss.

I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.

I ABSOLUTELY love this series by Paige Michaels and Pepper North 🤩 Firstly, the cupcakes 🧁 look sooooo yummy 😋 and have the cutest names 💜 I also loved that Adam and Rose’s story takes place during Christmas time 💚♥️ That definitely makes it a lot more fun!! Plus, Adam and Rose are just so adorable ☺️ I can’t wait to see what cupcakes 🧁 are in store for us in 2023!! I’m so addicted 🤗

Rose owns a make your own stuffie store, called Stuff-It 💕💕 She loves finding her stuffies good homes, but vows to never take any home herself, because she’s trying to run an “adult” business and not let her Little side get in the way. One night, during closing, a man scares Rose. It turns out this man is desperate!! His name is Adam, and he absolutely adores his niece, Amelia. It’s her 4th birthday the next day, and she really wants a stuffie from one of her favorite stores, Stuff-It. Rose helps him make her an elephant, and Adam just knows Rose is his forever Little. Rose wants Adam as her Daddy, too. Adam also buys a Beagle stuffie, for Rose too, that she designs herself. She originally didn’t know Ruff, the Beagle, was for her but Rose knows that’s the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for her. Adam wants their first date to be at Little Cakes, because both of them have friends, and fellow Littles/Daddies, there 🧁☺️
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND ENTIRE SERIES 💙💕💜

It’s the Christmas season and Rose’s new Stuff-It store is going into its busy season. She is so busy at work that she hasn’t had time to even think about a personal life let alone have one. That starts to change when a late arriving customer first startles her and then “moves” her. The connection the two feel is a natural since Rose is a Little with no time to be one and Adam is a Daddy with no little to pamper. You know what is likely to happen and in a very sweet way it does, but not without some real-world difficulties. Rose’s store takes up all her time and then some. Adam wants to help her and lessen her workload, but in a way she sees that as a challenge to her ability to run her own store and business. Fortunately, with the help and assistance of the Little Cakes extended family the store gets even busier but the workload is lessened and cooler heads prevail. This is a lovely story and very seasonal. Santa’s Kiss is a cupcake, Adam is a very warm and loving Daddy, and Rose becomes a very happy Little in the true cupcake tradition. Everything you want to fill your DD/LG stocking. 5 Stars

Business owner Rose Stewart has combined owning her own store with one of her favorite things - stuffed animals! Her store, Stuff-It allows people to choose a stuffed animal to create and accessorize. Just when she is about to close one night. Adam Connell appears looking to make a stuffed animal for his niece. While he does find the perfect stuffie, he also finds the little girl he’s been looking for to make his own.

But, can Rose give up some of her independence and accept some help during the busy holiday season after she has worked so hard to make her new business a success, or will she find her new Daddy’s rules to be a little too demanding?

Santa’s Kiss was the perfect way to end the first year of the Little Cakes series by Paige Michaels and Pepper North. Owning a stuffed animal shop is the perfect job for an entrepreneurial little. But Rose is definitely stressed and overworked, even if she doesn’t realize it. Adam is happy to not only claim his little, but to try and ease her burden if she lets him. They are super sweet together, even as they hit a few rocky spots as they learn to navigate their new relationship together. Santa’s Kiss is a great holiday read for anyone who loves a little girl and her doting Daddy! 4 stars!

Adam meets Rose, his soon to be little

Adam was rushing to get to Stuff-it, a stuffed animal store. He wanted to get a stuffie for his four year old niece's birthday. Rose was closing the gate to her shop at the mall and almost didn't let him. But she just had this feeling that he was okay. She liked him. She helped to find a pink dragon and some clothes for the little girl. He told her to pick one for herself. He was surprised that she didn't have one for herself. She picked a beagle. He paid for both.
He really was a nice man. She had a feeling he was a Daddy. He offered to help her straighten the stock so all the faces were looking out of their bins. He also walked her safely to her card.
Adam had seen her a few times at Blaze with the other littles in the daycare.
He eventually brought her home and showed her his house and the nursery.
Great compatibility and great chemistry. She liked being a little, and he was a good Daddy.
Another great story of a Daddy and his little and their love of Little Cakes cupcakes.
Another great story by Paige Michaels and Pepper North

Rose has the best job for a little girl, her very own Stuff It Store. When Adam stops by just as she's closing for a gift for his niece, they click. He very quickly lets her know he's a daddy, confirms she's a little and they set their first date at Little Cakes. Although instalove, I do like how Rose and Adam play off of each other. The absolute best part of this story is how Rose struggles to be little when she's a business owner and how Adam helps her (and at times, annoys her) with his suggestions. And I was so excited we got a trip back to Blaze. It's been an amazing year with Little Cakes, all the little girls and their daddies and the awesome tasty cupcakes. I'm so looking forward to next year and all the stories.

HOT HOT HOT!!!

Have you been reading this series? Cause if not you need to. I will say this is pretty much the only series I read about littles. I think it's mostly because the authors are really good at what they do and it draws you in. It's about love, laughs, and storylines. For Santa's Kiss, we meet Rose and Adam who met at her Stuffie's store in the mall. Rose is a little who has started a business selling stuffies like Build-a-Bear. She's sweet and personal. She loves her job and loves to make people happy. Adam is the owner of a gumball factory so cool right? I thought so, anyways when he goes into the story he knows his life is about to change. These two have a quick relationship, but doubts will creep in and Rose has only thought about her business. Can Adam show her he's there to love and take care of her? Or will he lose her?

[Amy Reads Romance · Rating 5 out of 5]

Adam runs through the mall toward Stuff-It, Rose's store where customers stuff and dress custom stuffies. He scares her, as she is about to close up for the night, but he explains that he needs a gift for his niece's birthday party the next day. She lets him in, and he recognizes her as the Little girl he has been searching for. Their first date is at Little Cakes, and soon their relationship takes off.

I love this series. Each book is better than the last, and I love seeing characters from the previous books make appearances. This well written book is a fun and quick read. Adam and Rose are both relatable characters who really seem real. They aren't perfect, but they are perfect for each other. This is well worth the one click.

I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really sweet story to read. If you have read any of the others stories in this series, you will recognise a lot of the other characters that also show up in these delightful stories. Rose is especially sweet and deserving of her own Daddy. She has always wondered if she would eve find her own Daddy. When Adam suddenly appears in the doorway of the store Rose owns, he needed a Stuff-It for his niece, then he wins Rose over by buying her one too. Seeing how Adam is in this developing relationship he’s really sweet, both Adam and Rose find what they have both been waiting for each other, there is a happy ending lots going on in the story as well.

I was given a copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

[Mandy (MP Book Reviews) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rose Stewart invested in a store franchise to create cuddly friends for stuffie fans of all ages. She is a true Little at heart but needs a Daddy of her dreams to make life complete. Adam Connell needs a gift for his niece's birthday but he finds so much more when he goes to Stuff-It and he finds an enchanting woman in a Santa hat singing Christmas carols off tune who happens to be the Little he has been searching for.

I really enjoyed the way that he did his best to take care of Rose and help her as much as he could even though she was a little resistant at times. It was great that their relationship developed at a fast pace but that he was probably going slower than she would have wanted. It was easy to read and understand. Contains mature BSDM-like content with a DDLG relationship.

[Karen Komarinski · Rating 5 out of 5]

so sweet

I’ve loved this series by Pepper North & Paige Michaels & Santa’s Kiss did not disappoint. Rose owner of stuff-it was belting out another verse of “Toyland” before closing for the night to turn around and be startled by the biggest & handsome man she ever seen. Adam felt so bad but at the same time pleaded with her to stay open just a little bit longer so he could make a stuffie for his 4 yr old niece for her Birthday the next day. Next thing they knew a beautiful relationship bloomed between a Daddy Adam & Rose owner of Stuff-it who was a little. Their first date was sealed with a Santa’s Kiss. This was a really fun read, was not ready for it to end; and can’t wait for the next cupcake in the series.

A sweet treat

Little Cakes has a new addition and Santa's Kiss does not disappoint. A sweet and warming tale of a little finding the daddy she didn't know she wanted.
Rose is new in town and trying to establish her business. Stuff-it. The perfect place for stuffies to find their forever home.
Late one night a customer gives her a surprise. Could Adam be the daddy she doesn't have time for?
As soon as Adam sees Rose he knows she is the little he has been searching for. Can he persuade her to take a chance and let him be her daddy.
Both need to discover what that means to the other and find a way to make it work.
I loved this book. Fun characters and a happy story fill me with joy.
I highly recommend this book, series and authors.

[Mom2three · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has become my go-to series when I need something that's going to be sweet, short, and steamy. One of the things I love is that it started out about the girls who work at the Little Cakes Bakery and has expanded to other Littles in the town while still keeping the link to Little Cakes. This story is about Rose, the owner of Stuff-It, a business where people can stuff their own stuffies, and Adam, a customer who comes in to get a present for his niece and walks out with so much more. Their connection is immediate, and since both of them know what they want, things move quickly. It's adorable the way he protects and cares for her, and she blossoms under his care. It's a quick, super sweet read that will melt your heart and leave a smile on your face.

I do love these Little Cakes series and Santa's Kiss was definitely a sweet treat. Rose Stewart doesn't know many people in the town considering she only bought the Stuffy Shop six months ago and moved in town the same time. Rose was cleaning up when a handsome man walked in, she was a bit speechless trying to ask if he needs anything. Adam was mesmerised by Rose so he told her he needed two stuffyS he will do one and she can do the other, Rose asked what type of stuffy does he want and told her to make it as if it was for her. This book was sweet, sensual, lovely romance.

series is like a warm hug

As always the authors totally deliver on a sweet sexy story about Littles finding their Daddies or Mommies in a DDlg relationship.
Rose and Adam are perfectly matched and interesting couple finding themselves pretty much in an instant connection. Rose is the store owner of Stuff-it, where stuffies are carefully selected and accessorized for their new owner, she’s sweet and happy but she works too hard. Adam is a successful business owner himself, a gumball factory which is too cute and perfect.
I loved this couple and thoroughly enjoyed reading how their relationship evolves.

[Keaty · Rating 4 out of 5]

The holiday fun at Little Cakes continues with the newest flavor!

Adam rushes to the mall’s new Stuff-It store before they close to make a furry friend for his niece. Rose, the store’s owner, let’s him in just as she closes up shop, and before they even leave, they’ve formed an instant connection. This is even faster than an insta-love…it’s lightning speed. The pair basically start the relationship living together because of the long hours Rose is putting in since her business is so new. Have no fear, Daddy Adam is there to support her, offer advice, and literally rescue Rose when need be.

This story has spanking and punishments, very light ABDL, DDlg, and a definite HEA!

[Sheila Schoenauer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've always wanted to read a book by this dynamic duo. They sound intriguing and the covers are always cute. I've only read one other "little" book in the past. Unfortunately this book just wasn't for me. I only made it to just over 50% and I just couldn't do it anymore. I ended up skimming the rest of the book. The writing was well done. I just couldn't get into the thought of a daddy dom constantly on when Rose was such an amazing independent adult. I also had a hard time with the "young age" aspect of it all. I know there are plenty of people who can get past all of that. It just isn't my thing.

I liked this book. This book was cute and sweet. This story revolves around a woman named Rose Stewart. She opened a store franchise of her dreams called Stuff- It. She creates cuddly animals for stuffie fans of all ages. She is a Little at heart. The only thing missing is a Daddy of her dreams.

In walks Adam Connell who needs a gift 🎁 for his niece’s birthday. Adam ends up meeting Rose or he calls her (Rosebud). He owns a bubblegum factory. Rose is the enchanting Little that he has been looking for. He hears her at first singing Christmas carols off key. He knows that Rose is the woman for him. Adam was perfect for Rose. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

[Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rose has been working hard to make Stuff-It a success. She doesn’t have time for a Daddy. When Adam rushes into her store to get a present for his niece, things are about to take a change. Adam knew as soon as he saw her that she was his Little that he had been waiting for. Rose was so adorable and he could see her in his life. Rose needed to learn to delegate time for herself and take help. Adam was always thinking of her needs and wanting to take care of her. She just needed to let go and trust in him. Plus take sound advise. She did get learn spankings are serious and never lie to daddy. This was a great Christmas treat.

[Foodiegirl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another adorablely sweet story by Pepper North! What a perfect couple these two are! A stuffie building shop owned by a Little named Rose and Grey Fox Daddy Adam who is the owner of a bubblegum factory. A perfect match from the beginning
They have to figure out how to cut out time to be together. Loved this story and it is one of my top favorites of this series.
She's a hardworking woman trying so hard get her business booming, not taking time for herself. He's an equally hardworking man in an established family business, ready to find the Little of his dreams. At first sight he knows Rose is his, and Rose is instantly attracted to Adam this is a fast moving love at first sight.

[Margaret Center]

Such a sweet and twisted story ... work and strangers do they mix - you'll have to read to find out. Have you ever experienced Santa's Kiss - what flavor did you find it to be. Mystery finds Rose drawn towards a customer, someone she doesn't even know but seems to trust. Her stuffies have her back, while she helps make little one's dreams of finding that perfect friend a reality. Adam has been searching for a very long time for that one, the one who can fill that spot in his heart and home to feel complete - has he been looking in the wrong places, possibly. Read this cute holiday romance to find out.

Sweet, yet oh so satisfying.

Rose and Adam may just be my new favourite couple, they are so engaging. I really enjoyed the meshing of everyday life and how much care and attention is given, so neither are compromising their career goals for their relationship.

I love the special connection that follows the DDlg dynamic in these books. Although the relationships are faster formed, they are built on solid foundations of communication.

This story flows really well and leaves you begging for more Little Cakes adventures.

stuffie to cupcake

Aiden was just in time to get his neice a build-a-bear.
Rose was not sure to let him in at closing time, but very glad she did.
Aiden was automatically attracted to Rose and he hoped the feeling was mutual.
He was always there when she needed him and even when she did not think she did.
A Lovely new "cupcake" book and was not disappointed in the least.
These authors write such lovely and HEA books.
Waiting for the next one.

I read an early review copy of this book for an honest review.

Another yummy cupcake and beautiful Daddy/Little couple.

Rose owns Stuff-It, how cool to be a Little that runs a stuffie store!!!! Unfortunately she's wearing herself out, until a last minute shopper turns out to be the best thing ever.

Adam needs a gift for his niece and how great is a stuffie. Thankfully he runs into Stuff-It and finds more than he bargained for.

I loved that Adam was supportive and willing to move his schedule around for Rose. Even though he owns a bubble gum factory, he still put her first (as a Daddy should).
