See this and all of my holiday giveaways at Ana's Attic Sexy TalesREAD THIS BOOK! CC Wood has been a much overlooked author. She has a knack for writing sweet, sexy and funny love stories that are read in one sitting, and A Kiss for Christmas was a perfect quick Christmas read. It's hard to believe this book is less than 60 pages because it didn't feel like it was missing anything as most short novellas do. 5 pages in, I already loved the characters and wished it was a longer book.Kevin is Blair's best friend, Kaylie's, older brother. Kevin has had feelings for Blair for years, but he never acted on them because he was in the Marines, and he knew Blair had always said she would not get involved with a military man because she grew up in a military family. Even so, Blair has lusted after the big, built, sexy Kevin for years as well, but had no clue he felt the same.At the family Christmas party, Kevin couldn't stop watching her. And wanting her. When she ends up hammered and standing under the mistletoe with him, Kevin couldn't help but take her up on the purpose of the mistletoe with a kiss that made my her toes curl.If I knew a guy like Kevin was there I would have worn this (photo of mistletoe hat) and nothing else!Cut to one year later. Blair was smashed the year before and doesn't remember the kiss. She only knows that Kevin acted differently towards her right after the party. But she hasn't seen him in a year. This time alpha Kevin isn't letting her get away so easy.He stepped closer until only a few inches separated them. "Ask me in, Blair."She blinked up at him. "What?""Ask me in," he insisted."Um, I'm not really sure that's a good idea, Kevin.""F*** that. I think it's the best idea I've had in a long time." He cupped her face again and tilted it back so he could see her face. "I want you, Blair, and I've wanted you for a long time....""...Her willpower was notoriously weak. There wasn't a chocolate cake she could resist or a certain handbag that didn't make her fingers itch to grab her credit card. Kevin Masters offering himself up on a sex platter for the night was a temptation she had little hope of resisting..."What follows is awesome, hot alpha sex with clothes ripping, carrying, walls, and commands, mixed with tenderness and humor. The perfect blend of all the good stuff. Even better, there was no magic "coming on command", and going all night without getting sore. Kevin knew just what to do, and even tenderly cleaned Blair up after (I love this, I think that is what made me fall in love with my husband).The nice thing about this book was that the two have known each other for years, so the getting-to-know-you part was able to be skipped over without missing a beat. I got into this book so much in such a short time that I even got a little choked up at one point.Likes:-A lot of story for such a quick read.-Kevin is my total book boyfriend.-I loved Kaylie.-Great blend of romance, humor and hot sex.-The sex was realistic but still totally HOT.Dislikes:-I don't really have any. I just can't wait to read a full length novel from CC, because I have LOVED her books and want more!Rating: 5 stars 4.5 HeatThis book was a perfect mix of romance, alpha man, friendship, giggles and hot sex all rolled into 56 sweet pages for the holiday.Book was provided by the author for
