Santa's Baby: A Hilarious Holiday RomCom by Chantal Roome, Chantal Roome
3.0
3.5 ⭐️ This was cute but...
The fact that our Santa in this story is a literal toy maker - he owns a whole company of *very, very fun* adult toys - and we see NONE of them in action except for a couple a little glimpses is a travesty! Also, I don't know if it can be ocnsider a slow burn if this is an accidental pregnancy/ one night kind of thing but -omg- it felt sooooo slow on the uptake. Like, inching fowards even when they both wanted to stomp their foot on the accelerator and fly into each other. Their chemistry was so obvious it felt so torturous to not see them together sooner.
Archer has recently taken over the family business and loves it, even if the relationship with his parents could be better. In his first annual Chritsmas party as the boss, he decides to dress up as Santa and hand real toys to his staff's children, only for his girlfriend to rush in and beat every kid to the punch by sitting on Santa's lap and asking him to errase any evidence of her affair so "her boyfriend" doesn't find out as her Christmas wish. That night he ends up in a hotel room with a stranger dressed in a wedding dress, someone he meet at the hotel bar, and the idea that if the night would've gone as planned, he'd be engaged to the woman who'd cheated on him, and this woman sharing his bed would've been married to someone else.
It isn't until a year later that Phoebe decides to uproot her life, even if temporarily, to search for her son's father. Lincoln is only five months old but she knows he deserves to give him the option to have a dad, so she goes onto a full research on every Santa until he finds the right one...
This book felt long af, but I know that it was only because I was struggling with them being apart when they so obviously belonged together.
