Author CC Monroe was born in the sunshine state of California. Now residing in Utah with her real life book husband and beautiful sons; she spends her days working and her nights locked away writing the stories her readers can’t get enough of!
Writing angst filled, plot driven, insanely sexy stories just the way we like it. CC has mad one liners, can be witty on the spot and curses like a sailor. Her best friend is coffee with a side of sarcasm.
Hehehe when CC said she was writing a small novella for Theo and Hannah I screamed because who doesn't love these two crazy cats.
Christmas is here and Theo is enjoying spending time with Hannah even if there going to be trap, now that plans are cancled he's not wasting any time with his babe.
Roles are switched between them and Theo is letting his queen Dom him for abit. And I swear I SCREAMED!! Hannah took her role seriously 😂😂😂 The begging, the sassyness she gave him and he let her until he couldn't handle it anymore and Dom her back ;) let's not forget about the sexy toy and some candy cane that SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE AROUND YOUR VAGINA LOL.
Merry Christmas to us. My only problem is the drama we read is maybe a open/ending to maybe? A stalker? Or Theo kicking someone's butt again lol

⭐️Should be read on Christmas Eve⭐️ -my opinion- Perfect for a naughty, passionate, loving short Christmas read on Christmas Eve!! 🎄 🔥❤️🔥Love how he describes her, and that he calls her a Goddess💋 Even though I didn’t read previous book (Her Shadows, His Secrets) it didn’t matter for this to be about their Christmas time & deep love for each other 💚❤️💚❤️💚 🎄Merry Christmas🎄
This novella takes place 3 years after Her Shadows His Secrets. I absolutely loved this novella for Hanna and Theo! It wrapped up their story from Her Shadows His Secrets beautifully! We get the spice, the best conclusion to a series EVER, and we get a confident Hanna that I wanted so badly to see! Hanna and Theo are my favorite book couple. While I’m sad their story is over, I honestly have never been so happy with an ending before. Wonderfully done!
Ok so it was fine…….. I guess I had the same problem in this book as I had in a full length novel. I’ll the ingredients was there and it really should have worked but there was just something missing. Again I just didn’t FEEL the words that were written. I didn’t feel the emotion or spice. I guess that’s what was missing once again for me.
4.5 🌟 I read CC’s Halloween novella in October and instantly fell in love with Theo and Hanna. This Christmas novella didn’t let me down! The love these two have for one another and the spice?!?! I may never look at a candy cane the same way again. I love love love how Theo loves Hanna. He doesn’t play about that woman and doesn’t let her talk down about herself. Every woman deserves a Theo. ❤️
Another delicious smutty novella by cc Monroe. I love Theo and Hanna! Their story is beautiful and I could not stop reading it. I can’t wait to see if Brenda will ever get a book, I hope so.
The SPICE is hot enough to melt the snow they're stuck in. Honestly, we've all wanted more of Hanna and Theo, and CC delivered in steamy and sweet glory. This was a quick read, high on the spice but with the perfect amount of plot sprinkled in, and a perfect surprise ending!
This is a fantastic Christmassy novella where a couple are snowed in and prepared to have lots of spicy fun. It’s very sweet and cutesy, with a lot of chemistry, kindness and love between the characters. The FMC has PCOS and I absolutely adore the representation we see because it’s 100% true and as a reader with PCOS, and this being the first material I’ve found where a character, let alone a main character, experiences it - has made me feel so seen. This read is warm, gentle and steamy - definitely a recommended holiday read to add to your December TBR.
Short, spicy, and stilted. ******************** Tropes: Spicy Holiday Novella, Forced Proximity, Feral MMC, Plus Size FMC ******************** Content Warning from Author: “This book contains elements of BDSM. There is Praise, degradation, primal play and mentions of past internalized fat phobia.” ******************** Quote: “Our little one will fill all the places in your heart you have left for family. We are your family now, babe.” ******************** Blurb: “Hanna and Theo are back with their Holly and Jolly Christmas night in. What awaits them this snowy night?“ ******************** Review: I think this might be a bonus for a previously released work, which I didn’t realize before going in. Honestly, I wasn’t impressed. The author told more than showed the story, and even the liberal spice was poorly written. It definitely needed editing. Usually I’d go back and read the origin for reference, but I’m not going to waste good reading time. I don’t recommend. ******************** Ratings: Movie NC17, Overall 2/5, Romance 2/5, Violence 1/5, Spice 3/5, Cover 4/5 ******************** 80 pages, published December 2022
I found author CC Monroe on TikTok. Seeing a video about CC Monroe's Christmas novella, His Christmas Vixen made me desperate to read the book. Starting this, I didn't know Theo and Hannah had their own full-length story, Her Shadows, His secrets. In my opinion, you don't need to read the first book to follow His Christmas Vixen. I could easily follow, but it did make me hungry for more of Hannah and Theo and how they came together.
Hannah is a plus-sized heroine who loves herself entirely, and I loved that! Theo was a possessive alpha who adored his woman and kissed the ground she walked on. I loved this couple's dynamic and chemistry, they are made for each other. The sexy scenes were hot, with primal chasing, anal play, praise kink, and a scorching hot candy cane scene. The smut was fantastic, and so was the plot, one was equal to the other. It's light-hearted but with some serious tones. I read His Christmas Vixen in one sitting, I was unable to stop. If you want a short, smutty, heart-warming read, this is one for you.
"All I want to do is hang the fucking moon and stars for you. I want to take the world and place it at your feet. I'm your cheesy fucking love story, baby"
What a perfect novella!!! 🩷
I have not read the full length book with these characters but I will now.
It was nice seeing a plus size heroine who has learned to fully love herself over the years and a man who never makes her doubt herself.
I've never read a book where the heroine has PCOS and the struggles that come with it – this hit close to home for me as someone who also struggles from PCOS and was happy that it was represented in a book.
This holiday novella is more than just spice. Now don’t get me wrong, there are SUPER hot “sleigh-riding” and ho-ho-ho’ing going on in this short story, but there’s also a fantastic plot to go along with all the spice. Obsessed with Hanna, our voluptuous FMC and I adored the way Theo made her feel confident in her own skin. Theo makes sure she knows she’s worth it!
Now onto that primal, chasing scene?? Ummm yes PLEASE!!! If I was snowed in with a man like Theo and some *candy canes* I would not complain!! Merry Smut-mas!!! 5 stars!!
I did not realize how much I missed Hanna and Theo until revisiting them in this little holiday story! Theo’s devotion is just simply chefs kiss in every way. I love their dynamic and the way you just know their love for each other is strong. I said it when I read Her Shadows His Secrets, but CC writing in representation for not only plus size woman but those struggling with PCOS hits home for me in all the right ways. Some stories and characters just touch you a little differently.
When I tell you I could not get enough of Hannah and Theo from the first book, I meant it. So reading this absolute perfect spin off made my heart whole! This short story was not one to be underestimated. It came at me with all the feels still! There was plenty of spice but still enough little plot for this to be so good! It even made me tear up! I absolutely love that CC still describes how plus size Hannah is and how much Theo lusts after still. They are my absolute favorite couple and I can’t wait to read more!
I have watched this author all over social media and I thought I’d give her a go. I adored the writing, the concept (who doesn’t loves Christmas themed novella). This is a short sweet, steamy romance where the couple are already together stuck in a cabin due to the snow. One night of steamy, sweetness and bringing smiles moments. I love how beautiful they are together and how much you can feel the love. I am looking forward to reading more by this author because I love how she brings something different to my usual reads.
So good! I fell in love with Hanna and Theo in Her Shadows His Secrets and even more so now If you think this is a fluffy little novella you may be half right but the spice is so hot! Not giving anything away here but if my Christmas was spent like theirs I would be complaining,I don't think I can look at a candy cane the same.
A spicy, Christmas novella with some plot in it? Yes, please!
I've missed Hanna and Theo and I'm glad I got a glimpse into their life with this holiday novella. And C.C. definitely did not let me down with the smut in this one.
P.s. That primal/ chase scene had me feral. It's like C.C. knew that alone would get me, lol.
This was a perfect little extra of Theo and Hanna. A great continuation of self love and finding the love of your life. I love how Hanna's confidence has grown and how Theo and Hanna have learned to find love together. A sweet and spicy Christmas story! Absolutely loved it!
This was seriously the best ending for her shadows his secrets! I couldn't have asked for a better story!!
CC u did a even more wonderful job on this! U made sure he still show her that he loves every piece and inch of her and never lets her talk badly about herself even if it is jokes!
I couldn't stop reading. The gift in the bedroom was my fav!!!
Hot AF! Super spicy! 🔥🔥 I enjoyed this one though I think it would be better enjoyed by someone who has read the full length novel this is a spin off of. It’s clear that this is a campanion and doesn’t stand totally on its own.
I am intrigued to read Her Shadows His Seduction though!
Tired of thumbing through page after page of christmas fluff to get to the hot stuff? I was too, I needed a little change from the christmas romances piling up my holiday tbr and this hit the spot perfectly. I love Theo!
Hanna was a great character, Theo was not my favorite. Calling her his “puppet” and a lot of the dialogue gave me the major ick- especially the possessiveness and being really pushy about having a baby when she said she wasn’t ready. The spice was mid at best, almost DNFed
