Length: 6 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

One hard-nosed military police officer. One overly enthusiastic elf. One poorly timed snowstorm.

Is it a recipe for disaster? Or a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for holiday romance?

Teddy MacNally loves Christmas and everything that goes along with it. When he plays an elf for his charity’s events, he never expects to be paired with a Scrooge masquerading as Santa Claus. His new mission: make the holiday-hating soldier believe he was born to say ho ho ho.

Sergeant Major Nicholas Nowicki doesn’t do Santa, but he’s army to his blood. When his CO asks an unusual favor, Nick of course obliges. The elf to his Kris Kringle? Tempting. Too tempting - Nick’s only in town for another month, and Teddy’s too young, too cheerful, and too nice for a one-night stand.  

The slow, sexy make-out sessions while Teddy and Nick are alone and snowbound, though, feel like anything but a quick hookup. As a stress-free holiday fling turns into Christmas all year round, Teddy can’t imagine his life without Nick. And Nick’s days on the base may be coming to a close, but he doesn’t plan on leaving anything, or anyone, behind.

This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!

Great Boo

It was a really good book. I love the Narrator. you can tell the difference between the characters which is a must for myself.

Sweet and loving

Great book that was sweet and hot with low angst. These two make a great couple! Fast movingwith a quick realization of love.

So entertaining

Between Annabeth Albert’s words and Sean Crisden’s performance I can’t say enough how much I loved this!! Every character had their own voice and depth, the performance making it so easy to fall into their world. I laughed, I sighed, I absolutely loved every second of it and never wanted it to end.

Everything I want in a Cmas book!

Annabeth, as always, delivered everything I love in a book! Great plot, great characters, steamy scenes. I was laughing, clenching my hands, and completely utterly swooning. Another great narration by Sean Crisden too. Overall, great Cmas book!

Surprising Change

This story was a fun surprise. Nicholas has a plan, it might not be exactly what he wants but it’s his plan. Teddy is a caring person who is busy making sure everyone else has what they need. The meeting seems to be a clash of two different worlds but of course things progress. I love how they really find each other.

Listened to the audio version and it was well done.

Jaw dropping

I love absolutely everything about this! They narrator’s different tones and the way the story just seems to flow! It’s incredible and I just wanna reread it already !!

Unexpected love

Two sensitive men find each other in unusual circumstances, and when a fling turns into more, sparks fly. One is sensitive with an internal knowing, the other, older but not necessarily wiser when it comes to affairs of the heart. Good heat that's not over done. Narrator was very good, and he has a nice deep voice.

big age gap

not a big reader of age gap stories and I was disappointed no warning regarding

Great Christmas Read!

I was looking for a Christmas M/M romantic story and by the grass of God, I found this gem. I love Nick and Teddy so much. The cute elf and his sexy Santa made my day. Thank you Annebeth Albert for a great holiday read and Sean Crisswn for the phenomenal narrating. I’m looking forward to reading more of your works Annabeth Albert.
