This book stops at 41% but there is an additional previous released Alexa Riley story with it. I bought this book knowing I would get a super over the top insta love quick read.

This one gets a BONUS Star for the awesome cover!
AWESOME cover aside. This one was a miss for me. I feel like I am saying that a lot lately with these shorties, but just because a book is short, or insta, or safe, doesn't mean it shouldn't be held to the same standards of writing, plot, and characterization, as a regular length book. I've read some really awesome novella length books.
The story in this one was just nonexistent for me. The heroine came off as an addled brain giggling teenager. I usually love these authors heroes, but this one was odd to me. He didn't have an ounce of personality. And the weird OW scene was really awkward and served no purpose other then I guess the heroine getting called fat. *shrug*
It's really a shame because some of these super short books have SO much potential to be really awesome books if only they were longer and more time spent fleshing out the stories. Oh well, just my 2 cents.

This was a quick, festive, and quite naughty little read full of holiday charm. Christmas Winter is a sweet heroine and her insta-Love affair with Nicholas Light is hot as heck. It’s the perfect little interlude to read by the glow of the Christmas tree.

Totally OTT. If you can deal with her name you'll enjoy the book. Christmas Winter.

Fast insta-love, charming as heck, and sexy as always. Such a cute, sexy Christmas story to enjoy this holiday season.

This was a fun, short, sweet escapist romance in typical AR style.
Christmas works at the mall and spreads happiness everywhere she goes. Nicholas owns the mall and has fallen for Christmas at first sight. He's decided to have her for himself and sets about making that happen.
They are instantly drawn together, and their chemistry was great. I liked all their interactions, and the way they complemented each other. I really liked the way Christmas handled an unpleasant situation that came up as well.
This was a bit of a slow burn, as far as AR books go, and I liked that it was a little different. The insta-love was there, but they didn't actually get together until 60% into the book.
This was another fun, sexy romp and I'm so glad I read it. As always, I'm looking forward to more!

Good but not particularly unique. Sometimes, these stories feel like the exact same as the last holiday story, just with different character names.

This is actually 3.5 stars. Something in it put me off..... I don't know what, yet. I haven't put my finger on it.
It was insta-love, as usual, and it had great sex scenes. I just didn't like it as much as I liked the other Alexa Riley books......
P.S. I received a coplimentary copy in exchange of an honest review.

Nothing like a quick and easy Christmas read to start December off. What better than an Alex Riley book?
While Stealing Christmas was an enjoyable read, it didn't fill me with the Christmas cheer that I was after. I wanted to spend more time with these characters, but it was over too quickly for me.
