”Yup. I just had a one-night stand with Santa Claus. That’s one hell of a way to get on the naughty list.”
- The One Night Stand Before Christmas
Tropes: One Night Stand, Mistaken Identity, Grumpy/Sunshine
Spice Scale: 🌶🌶🌶
The One Night Stand Before Christmas was my favorite of the first three books. The leads had amazing chemistry and a bit of a grumpy sunshine dynamic with a cynical heroine and a sweet but sexy hero. It was steamy, and the Santa sex puns should have been over-the-top, but instead I found them hilarious. I loved that it didn’t rely on the third act breakup/misunderstanding and was just a sweet story of them coming together. The epilogue at the end gave a good glimpse at everyone’s life afterward and had me looking forward to the second trilogy in the series.

I completely adore this series of short Christmas novellas set in Reindeer Falls by Jana Aston. Each one features a different sister finding love around the holidays and they’re all completely adorable. In this one (book three), Noel has a one-night stand with a mystery Santa (Teddy) and sparks fly from there. Noel works at a senior center as an activities director (fun!) and Teddy steps in to put on the red suit at the last second. After a wild night and some miscommunication, can the two of them work things out? This was a great conclusion to the series.

“How does Santa stay STD-free?”
“Tell me.”
“He always wraps his package before shoving it down the chimney.”
Bad Santa.. or bad Santa jokes?
Noel is in need of someone to dress in a Santa suit for pictures with the kids. Jillian, Noel’s co-worker, has the perfect person, her brother. What starts as pictures with kids turns into Santa going home with Noel… but he’s not who she thinks he is.
So who is this mystery Santa? Will she find him?

Cute! As with the previous books, I wish it had been a bit longer, but Noel's adventures with her mystery Santa were fun, and a nice finish to the magical Christmas where three sisters all fall in uncomplicated love at the same time.
