Dark Christmas Duet #1-2
Nice and Naughty
The line between Naughty and Nice has never been more blurred…
One good girl, who mistakenly finds herself at the mercy of Krampus, forced to submit to his painful, humiliating punishments in order to earn her freedom.
One wayward elf, desperate to make things right, even if it means accepting the strict, unyielding discipline of the man she tried to ruin.
Two immortals, on opposite sides of the same yuletide coin, who will need to put their differences aside if they have any hope of saving Christmas…and their willful, naughty mates.

About the author
Vivian Murdoch
80 books1,165 followersVivian is a sassy romance writer that likes to brat just as much as she writes. As a fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants author, she's usually working furiously into the night when her creative juices hit her the hardest. Her books like to take you to the dark side and force you to dip your toes in, but don't drown you. She loves writing alphaholes, anti-heroes, and heroes you just love to hate. She likes to try out everything she's putting her heroines through, so the phrase “for science” is used in her house a lot! When she's not writing, you can probably find her playing Animal Crossing or tormenting her cats and Husdom.

Well, Happy Holidays to me!!! I loved this duet so much. I loved the seasonal word replacement for everyday words. Some of them had me giggling. Reading about a different version of Krampus and Father Christmas kept me turning the pages. Vivian Murdoch wrote such amazing and strong h's too. They were sassy and gave back to the H's. The world that she created is perfect too. I was captivated by the detail the author went into when writing this duet. The duet was original and beautifully written. I loved all the characters in this world and is sooooo spicy. The heat level was brought in this duet. Please read the TW at the beginning if you have any triggers.
In the first part of the duet, we meet Krampus and Caitlin. I really felt for Krampus. He was so much more than what people thought he was in this book. Caitlin was fed up with everything going on in her life. She just was so broken and strong. They were fantastic for each other. I ate up the angst, push, and pull both characters portrayed. The second part of this duet Naughty brings us, Kris and Noel. Kris's "Father Christmas" is stepping into some big shoes. He was tall, dark, broody, and hot!!! I loved how he didn't use foul language but used Christmas/Holiday themed words. They had me giggling. Noel was a mystery honestly. She had her secrets and held on to them and some not by choice. I loved the angst and spicy scenes between the two.
This duet was a fun, crazy roller coaster of a ride. It had me turning the pages with the mystery and twists and turns. Can't wait to see what Holiday shenanigans we are brought next.

An Interesting Holiday Duet
This duet includes Krampus and an Interesting take on Santa Claus 😈. You will definitely get hooked with this one. Once I picked it up, it was hard to put down. The couples in these books each have their own happy ending but you must read both books to get the entire story. This story is original, has a bit of darkness to it, and will melt your marshmallows. Someone is out to destroy Christmas and the Claus family line. Krampus and Claus will need to mend fences and work together or Christmas maybe ruined forever. If you like a quick holiday read with sugar, spice, and some fantasy thrown in you should definitely pick up this duet. You won't be disappointed.

Read these as individual books, both are amazing reads.
You have the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’, both of which are deliciously masterful with their tools 😜. In more ways than one. There will be no spoilers here, but if you love Santa/Krampus books then you need to read this. Loved both stories so much, and can’t wait for the next instalment.

I have no words. It felt wrong reading at times but also it was written so poorly that I can’t help but laugh.
I have never not finished a book but there were times I felt like I should stop.
If you’re interested in a dark romance Christmas special this one’s for you.
Honorable mention: thank you molly for the blind date with the book💕
