The One Night Stand Before Christmas by Jana Aston

funny lighthearted fast-paced
”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.
