Congrats on surviving the holiday season thus far! For those of you who have endured family gatherings, work gatherings, crowded malls, dozens upon dozens of cookies and present-wrapping related injuries (don't ask) - this one's for you! I have a delish, quick and sassy read for you to enjoy - just because you're busy, doesn't mean you don't deserve a sexy, spanky holiday read in between the madness of daily life. Check out this one from Resplendence Publishing:

Yuletide Greetings, a Taboo Wishes Story, Brynn Paulin, Resplendence Publishing, Dec. 2010

Zach Colvin never believed in Santa Claus, so filling in as Santa at the mall for one of his friends is not making his holiday bright. He’s supposed to be on vacation, not working. When his brother promises to send him a package full of holiday cheer, he never expected it to be a near-naked woman.

Kate Morgan has made a mistake. After many emails, she’s meeting a man for a near-anonymous hook up, but she's stunned to find a different man opening the front door—a man with a determined grin, mesmerizing eyes, and a naughty penchant for spanking.

For a novella length story, this addition to the Taboo Wishes line packs quite a wallop! Zach Colvin, prep school principal, gets conned into playing mall Santa by a friend. He's cranky because he can't really express his Dom side due to his career path and his loneliness is killing his ho-ho-holiday mood. Sporting his sexy Santa suit, he opens the door to a tantalizingly wrapped present - curvy Kate Morgan, a woman who has enchanted him for some time. Even better, she appears to be the sub he's been searching for all his life. Holiday miracles do exist.

Kate Morgan lives alone, works alone and wants a quick hook up which she arranges online. The mystery man upon whose doorstep she lands is most definitely not the one she'd planned. Zach is everything she ever dared to fantasize about and more. Their connection sizzles on the page and left this reader fanning herself while turning the page for more, more, more!

While the sex is sexy and definitely on the D/s side, this story is more than just sex. Ms. Paulin has the gift to craft characters that are multi-dimensional and the story has several unexpected twists. Though it weighs heavily on erotic elements, ultimately this is a romance and the HEA reminds this reader of a Christmas cactus - a little prickly, complicated plant with the most beautiful, brilliant, delicate flowers - one of nature's most unique surprises. Enjoy the read - it's worth it!

I give Yuletide Greetings five chocolate dipped strawberries and a very naughty candy cane!
