It is Christmas everyone! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day with their friends and family. Try not to eat too much food.
Kissing Santa is the second book in the Christmas Street novella series. I liked this one but a warning to all. This one is a little more serious than the first one. The fist one, Bah, Humbug!, is about comedy and laughter. This one is more serious, yes comedy is in it.
Throughout this book I wanted to strangle Hannah! Hannah is a drama teacher at a high school and is still stuck on her ex who told Hannah that they should date other people. We all know what that means = I am moving on and so should you, bye. But Hannah wants her old flame Jackson back and she is waiting for him to wake up and realize this.
Roxy, Hannah's best friend, along with some ninth grade girls who adore Hannah get tickets to help the firefighters. They are having a donation night by several of the organizations in town and one of them is by the firefighters. There booth is kissing Santa. Reluctantly Hannah goes and kisses the Santa who looks the safest.
But for Zeke, the Santa Hannah kisses, it is more than a simple kiss. FIREWORKS! He realizes that this is the woman, THE ONE. But Hannah is too stuck on safe old Jackson. So Zeke and Roxy come up with a plan. For Zeke to get more dates with Hannah and maybe put out that old flame for Jackson. Zeke agrees to help Hannah make her ex jealous.
The story goes from there. It is funny how it comes together but the things in both Zeke's and Hannah's life make the story a little more serious. I mean c'mon! Hannah is using poor Zeke to get her ex to realize he should have never let her go. The ending was amazing and I wanted to cry in places.
No language except the usage of Hell, but in the location, not the usage as a curse word. There is no sex scenes or anything in the book. Kissing is done, but the title clearly warns you about that. My Kindle screen did not fog up and I didn't feel like I was trudging through mushy pages. It was a great story and I CANNOT wait to READ the next book in this series. I wish it was out already!

The first book was MUCH better. I enjoyed this one, mainly because of the hero, Zeke. But I had major problems with the heroine, Hannah. She's hung up on her ex and quite frankly treats Zeke like crap as a result. On top of that, she has this crazy notion that fireworks - aka real passion - ruin a relationship and she's stuck in it. Pushes Zeke away because of it. Finally she's a drama teacher and has an incredibly inappropriate relationship with her 9th grade students. She talks to them about her relationship problems. They are at her house talking "girl talk" with her about the men in her life. I'm sorry, but as a teacher this REALLY bothered me. You can have friendly relationships with your students, but they are not your friends. That's a line that you can't blur. I guarantee that had she been a male teacher this would have been obviously problematic. But it is for female teachera too. So yeah that bothered me, a lot.

My Review:
The first book in this series was adorable and reminded me of a Hallmark movie, so without hesitation I got the next two books in the series. Kissing Santa has such a cute story idea that I couldn't wait to read this one but....
I thought it was cute and I loved Zeke the handsome kissing firefighter Santa but I hated Hannah. She was so whiny and annoying and Zeke totally deserved someone else. Hannah was so suck on her ex boyfriend that I found her to be rather rude. She got fireworks when she kissed Zeke but all she talked about was the sparkler affect she got kissing Jackson her ex. WHAT who wants sparklers?!?! I want FIREWORKS Big LOUD FIREWORKS...Stupid sparklers!!! She wasn't a strong person I was hoping she would be and at times Zeke was sort of a weak person for wanting someone that honestly didn't want him. I loved the cameo of the Lexi and Kyle (from the first book) but I was looking for awesome characters like them, these two just kind of fell apart for me.
This one wasn't my favorite but it was cute. I did like Zeke's family and the idea was really cute it just didn't work with Hannah. Which was a huge bummer for me. I sort of realized early on that this was going to be a 3 for me but Zeke totally bumped it up .5 which is why I gave this 3.5 stars.
Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my review
Hope you have a great day and Happy Reading!

Another cute Christmas short story. A bit cheesy in parts and a bit unrealistic, but lots of good holiday fun!
