I've had this book on my shelf for awhile now and finally picked it up as a quick read and really enjoyed it. The book had the humor with a little bit of spice. This was an insta-attraction romance with an abrupt ending with the two MC's ending with a friendship. Hopefully we will get more of this story and the rest of this side of the Carelli family sometime in the future.

Santa Baby by Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler is a great Christmas novella! This has Chelle written all over it.
Maggie is a hardworking single mom whose life is wrapped around Mateo, her six-month-old son. She has no support system and is really trying her best to make sure she’s around her aunt for the holidays until car problems happen. This is where she meets her Carelli is shining armor.
Smoke Carelli is a very powerful man and as he comes across what he thinks is a stranded car finding a stunning single mom and her little baby, he knew he could not leave them alone to freeze.
I was lucky enough to listen to this on audio as well, Samantha Brentmoor is perfection as always! Lance Greenfield was a great Smoke!
This book has so much family, love, and a little bit of heat to keep you warm through the holidays! Adored this story and it will be in my Christmas rotation next year!

Thank you Smoke Carelli for showing what the season is about. When he realized that the people in the beat up Monte Carlo are not evil but struggling he takes them into his family and gives a little boy an amazing first Christmas.

Santa Baby
A Carelli Family Christmas Novella
By: Chelle Bliss, Eden Butler
Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Lance Greenfield

What happens when you are caught in a snowstorm with your baby and have no where to go? Maggie is stuck in her car, with no food and it doesn't look good until Smoke comes to help her. Taking her in, Maggie learns the true meaning of family and love as she is welcomed into the Carelli home. This is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Full of love and warmth, we get to experience the joy and love Maggie finds in her new surroundings. And Smoke just is impossible to resist. His alpha ways and true passion sucked me in. Loved this short with the sexy, growlie voice of Lance Greenfield and expressive tones of Samantha Brentmoor.

A short Christmas read with lots of emotions. Not everyone has the perfect life but sometimes you meet the right people at the right time who make your life better.

When this book ended, I literally screamed “no” out loud! I loved this introduction to Smoke and Maggie so much! I went in knowing this was a novella but it still was over way too soon for me! I seriously need their full story along with all the other Carellis asap! These two had a bit of a rocky start but there was no denying the chemistry. The moments with him and Mateo were so heart-melting. The rowdy and lovable Carelli family made for many laughs and I loved their camaraderie. Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler packed this baby full of heart, spice and sweetness!

Santa Baby was a fun, quick, sweet read that introduces the Carelli Family. I'm looking forward to reading more about Smoke and Maggie in the rest of the series, but this was a wonderful introduction and a short, holiday read.

Santa Baby is a holiday novella that has me wanting more of the Carelli Family!

What a great introduction to this world. Maggie is down on her luck however things start turning around when she parks her car and has an interesting first meeting with Smoke. This quick story gives us just a taste of what is going to happen and I can't wait to read more and find out all the juicy details of their relationship and the workings of this crime family!
