Big Nick Energy by Morgan Elizabeth

5.0

I loved this one. Morgan Elizabeth really hits it out of the park with her holiday romances.

Shae, after leaving her abusive husband, is working hard to be everything for her two daughters and boss, sacrificing her own happiness for everyone around her. Enter failed date Connor and his dad, Nick. After attending Thanksgiving dinner at Nick's house where he mentions Elf on the Shelf to her daughters, Nick feels that he has to take over the holiday chaos elf because it wasn't something Shae had previously done for her girls. After coming to her house to move/set up the elf, the two create a tenuous relationship sparking with chemistry.

Shae has to lean to trust again after her traumatic relationship, and Nick keeps reaching out his hand for her, reassuring and solid in all the best ways.

This spicy holiday novella was absolutely fantastic. I loved the characters involved and the banter couldn't have been better. A 10/10 holiday romcom.
