Three fun Christmas short stories with a common character called Damon Claus who is not so nice brother of Santa ... all enjoyable but none exceptional so 3.5* rating
( )

Three stories set around Christmas with a linking character of Damon Claus the little, naughty brother of Santa. Overall not bad but nothing really stood out for me.

The First Story is a story of Love Lost and found again. Due to a drunken kiss Riley Kinnard and Hayden Manchester broke up at senior Prom. Now they're back in the same area and the annual rivalry to create a spectacular Christmas display is on, but they're having to fight attraction.

The Secret Santa is about a workaholic, Ally Dauer who works as an Arson investigator and also works with the local toy drive, with the help of local firefighter she's trying to work out who is adding some more Adult toys to the drive. The two characters are quite good in this one.

Snug in his Bed is the final story in the collection, Viv Foster hates Christmas, it remins her of when her father ran off on her mother, on Christmas Day, now she tries hard to ignore it. When she slaps a Santa for pinching her butt she is sent to work on a Christmas Tree Farm as punishment. It's quite a sweet story.

The second and third stories impressed me more than the first but they all weren't bad. There was chemistry between the characters and more of it than I've seen in some regular length romances! The sex seemed to flow from the situations rather than feeling tacked in and overall they were good quick reads. I didn't quite like the interviews with Santa at the beginning and end, it felt a little off. ( )
