Secret Santa is a collection of three short stories all centred around the Secret Santa exchange at the New York offices of Connoisseur - a food and travel magazine.
He'd Better Watch Out! - [a:Janelle Denison|92739|Janelle Denison|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1364615010p2/92739.jpg]
Bosses daughter Amanda Creighton has always been a good girl - until she decides to put her name down as the Secret Santa for the office bad boy Christian Miller and give him a gift that he won't be able to resist.
The Nights Before Christmas - [a:Isabel Sharpe|4635|Isabel Sharpe|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png]
Cathy Ann Johnson considers herself as quite an ordinary sort of girl - so when her Secret Santa gives her some sexy lingerie she decides it's time to be a little bit naughty. So she seduces her Santa - only it's the wrong Santa!
Mistletoe Madness - [a:Jennifer LaBrecque|78304|Jennifer LaBrecque|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1235903534p2/78304.jpg]
Tatiana Allen's boss has decided to go all out with the office Secret Santa and have 8 days worth of presents and gifts. Unfortunately for Tatiana, she has to buy gifts for her office nemesis Cole Mitchell. But when they are thrown together for an assignment, Tatiana realises that this year she wouldn't mind getting Cole in her stockings afterall.
This is a sweet set of festive stories that you can't help but enjoy even if they are quite light on that warm Christmas feeling in some cases.
[a:Janelle Denison|92739|Janelle Denison|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1364615010p2/92739.jpg]'s story is enjoyable although I wasn't sure about the angel and devil who advised the heroine throughout the story - that was slightly odd. But otherwise it was a sexy story with two enjoyable characters.
[a:Isabel Sharpe|4635|Isabel Sharpe|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png]'s story is more sweet and poignant than the others and although it does have it's fair share of sexy scenes, it's more of an emotional tale with a heroine you will no doubt identify with.
The best of the three stories is [a:Jennifer LaBrecque|78304|Jennifer LaBrecque|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1235903534p2/78304.jpg]'s offering with the arguing colleagues. It's funny, sexy and a really enjoyable story.
Overall - although there maybe aren't any classics in this anthology - it is a book that I'm sure you will enjoy whether it's Christmas or not! Definitely recommended for a fun, light read.
