Why did I wait so long to read this book???? I had been burned by too many Christmas romances. I thought maybe they just weren’t for me. WRONG!!
I absolutely loved everything about this quick novella. I had true big out loud laughs multiple times as I was reading. It was sweet. It was STEAMY. It was perfect!!! Doesn’t matter that Christmas is over. Read this one now!!!

Cute for a Novella but there was not enough details describing the people and it kind of jumped a lot but it was still cute.

3.5/5 stars. This was my first time reading a Christmas romance book and it was pretty delightful. I definitely am going to read the next story in the series. Maybe it will be rated higher because it won’t have the boss/employee trope (I’m just not a fan because power dynamics)?

A cute and fun little diddy just in time for the holidays. If you are familiar with this author, you know she's the queen of awkward heroines. This one is no different. She's not so much socially awkward, but has such a love for Christmas that it's a little crazy, and living in this Christmas inspired town (where it's practically Christmas year round) doesn't help tame the beast. But there is the Grinch who is threatening her spirit, or so she thinks. Lots of laughs. And some sexy time too. This is more of an novella so it's a short quick read (a couple hours) and doesn't have a complex story-line. The characters are just developed enough to form an opinion. We also get some glimpses into the characters that will be featured in book two of the series. It's written from the Heroine's POV exclusively. This is a light-hearted read with a happy ending and no real downers involved.

Be ready to start your Holiday season the right way, Naughty but Nice!
Author Jana Aston gives us the first book in this series that is a quick sinful, sexy and hilarious read.
I loved the main characters of Holly & Nick.
They made me laugh, swoon, and had my chocolate cherries melting with all the sexy steamy times these two had.
They are not your average Holiday folk & I loved everything about that.
You will feel transported into the Christmas world that felt so alive and vivid that you will wish this place really existed so you could go visit it & even live there.
Be ready to want to create your own Advent calendar like Holly & find out if what is behind the door is the naughty or nice gift you should deserve.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series and see what happens next.

A grumpy boss, a girl who hates to love him, and a lot of Christmas.
Meet Holly Winter, yes, really. She is working at the most fantastical place that I also want to work at, Reindeer Toy Company. Bears! Cuteness! Toys! Planning Bear Cafes and more. However she isn’t too happy with her boss, Nick. Though on the other hand she does seem very happy with him, teehee, given the fantasies. We see how she struggles with working with him. We see that she isn’t happy despite having the best job.
The sexy times in Germany, OH MY GOODNESS. Those were STEAMY and HOT. I was happy that Holly was able to put off her mind and that she just enjoyed it. Enjoyed the kisses and the sex. I had such a laugh at how she called her vagina the Inn and even gave Nick ratings. XD And that Dickmas Advent Calendar her sisters made came to good use. Teehee.
But whereas I did like the romance, the sexy times, I just wanted to shake Holly a lot of times. Because she was just mean and hurtful towards her boss who, from my POV, was a bit grumpy yes, but for most he was hardworking and just doing his job. I just couldn’t see why she was constantly calling him Grinch and other things. And then her reaction after what happened in Germany, LORD, she was horrendous I just fell for the guy. He gets the feeling she is going to sue him.

This is an excellent little novella with it's 100 pages! It's very funny and a bit steamy actually... didn't expect that! I was entertained all the way through and I'm looking forward to read the rest of the series.
