`Naked on Christmas' is a story that starts off a little depressing and finishes off really hot.  Anna is the lead character who is spending Christmas all alone because she can't face going home to see her ex fiancé and his pregnant wife, who just happen to live next to her parents.  What a crappy situation to be in!  While she is riding on a bus she starts to feel very sorry for herself, and meets a handsome stranger who offers her a hanky when he sees her crying.  One thing leads to another, and she finds out he is an artist who paints nudes.  His name is Ian, and he is one hot painter!She offers to pose for him as a nude model, and spends Christmas getting `unwrapped' by the sexy artist, who tries to be professional, at first anyways.  But Anna is just too much for Ian to resist, and she gives him a Christmas gift he'll never forget!I liked the characters in the story and felt sorry for Anna.  Her situation was really crummy, and it was a shame that she had to be alone during the holidays.  Some people go through this every year, and they don't even have hot artistic strangers to hook up with.  It is tragic!  Ian seemed very sexy and I can see why she was ready to jump in the sack with him.  Heck, after a year with no man I'd probably be the same!  I didn't care for Anna's public pity party on the bus, but I see how it was necessary to get the story moving along.  After all, every hero needs a damsel in distress to save, and this one needed to be saved from a lonely Christmas.The story moved along well.  It was a little confusing at the very beginning when she started remembering her fiancé and the whole incident with the pregnant wife who was her ex best friend.  If I were her I would have flat out told him to move away from where her parents lived...he was obviously a major jerk and she's better off without him.  Ian sounds much yummier anyways!  And artists are known to be creative in bed, too!The descriptions used were very erotic but fitting and they sounded perfect for the scene.  I always prefer my erotica to be hot but not cheesy, and Sandra Ross definitely gets it right with her books.  She has a very hot presence in all her stories without going over the top on the cheesiness, so her books are easy to read and enjoy.  This was a nice erotic romance with a Christmas theme that you don't often see, and it was an enjoyable read on a cold wintery day.
