Time is short in the period leading up to Christmas!  I found Christmas Nights With the Polo Player by the awesome Susan Stephens the perfect length novella!  I was able to finish it in one lunchtime sitting (well dont tell the boss but maybe a lil... just a lil... extra time was spent at my desk, I couldnt put it down)The best thing about Novella’s when they are done well is they quickly get to the point, no mucking about and in 10 chapters we got to revisit the delicious Acosta’s, meet Lucy (Holly Acosta’s best friend) who is working for Gabe Ortoya, one of the Acosta’s cousins, and who also happens to be the current captain of the Brazilian polo team.Gabe also owns the nightclub Holly is working at to supplement her income while making her way thru vet school.  Attraction is at an all time high and Gabe isn’t used to the ladies backing away so he pursues Holly when fate (well actually matchmaking Holly) places them both as guests at the Acosta’s Christmas Party.I love this novella for the chance to revisit the Acosta’s; for the fast paced read which I enjoyably raced thru, for the yummiest characters and because  It packs a punch in the emotional stakes.  Lucy is cute as a button, feisty as  and naturally gorgeous.  Gabe is just the yummiest man in Polo world (bar the Acosta’s).  He knows what he wants and goes after it with a passion that left me breathless.Christmas Nights with the Polo Player is ummissable if you've been keeping up with the Acosta’s or if you’re looking for a fantastic Christmas themed love story sure to crank the heat up for those celebrating Christmas in the currently chilly Northern Hemisphere…
