Book Blurb

His whole life, Xander's known just who and exactly what he wants. As Santa's oldest son, he's next in line to inherit the family business. And that's the only way he's ever going to leave the North Pole.

Walter's got the best job ever -- creating and testing adult toys. But that job's not near as much fun without a partner to share his passion with.

Will Xander choose what he's always wanted -- to get out and see the world -- or can he and Walter find their own Christmas magic right here at home?

 

Book Review

Adult toys are being made and tested at the North Pole? I guess they must be, since adults want some fun things to play with for Christmas as well. At least, that is the way this story goes, and I certainly had fun reading it and pondering the possibilities. With some unexpected twists and turns, and a few very hot toys, this is a fun little story that probably appeals to the naughtier side of each of us, and that makes it very entertaining.

Xander is Santa’s oldest son, and as such, he thinks he knows what awaits him. Once he is nominated the next Santa, he can finally make it off the North Pole and see the world. Even if it is only one day a year, he is so ready for a change of scenery. Unfortunately, or maybe it’s actually fortunate, his father has other plans for him, and Xander ends up lost and alone in the woods when he tries to walk off his disappointment. The village he finally finds is “in the darker part” of the North Pole, and that idea made me grin. Then Xander meets Walter, and things take a turn for the naughty…

If you like slightly naughtier Christmas stories set at the North Pole, if a lost Santa-to-be sounds like an interesting main character and you want to follow his meandering way to finding happiness, and if you’re looking for a fun, sexy read that will make you smile (and maybe adjust your wish list for Santa), then you will probably enjoy this short story.
