S Y N O P S I S

Her entire life, Xo has brought others happiness and love, complete with endings tied in pretty little bows.

This year, she wants that for herself.

Love.

Romance.

A happy ending.

And there's a grumpy Santa who's more than willing to grant her this wish in exchange for finding his love for Christmas again.

Where there are candy canes, there are happily ever afters... and they're both about to find theirs.

This is a standalone holiday 40k word novella.

✨Stand-alone monster romance novella

✨ Draegyn x Cupid romance

✨ Very spicy and spice forward


I honestly went into this because:

1) it was recommended by some monster lover bookstagrammers that I love 

2) after looking it up on Goodreads, I saw that the MMC had some wild monster anatomy that sounded to hilarious and fun to pass on.

Xรฒchitl is a Cupid. Cupids bring love to humans and other creatures, but they’re forbidden from finding love and having relationships with others. Arson is a draegyn and is a part of the Santana line that brings Christmas cheer to the human world. Santana.. Santa.. see the connection? Unfortunately, Arson is just not feeling the Christmas cheer this year. He’s bored and just isn’t finding any joy in his job. But when he starts receiving letters from the sweet, Christmas loving Xo, he’s intrigued. Xo just wants to experience love and she thinks Santa can help her find that love.

        This book was unhinged in the best way. While their chemistry is hot hot hot, their attraction is a little Insta-lovey for me, I still really loved it. Xo and Arson are the sweetest kinds of monsters and their growing love for each other was just so nice to read about. Not to mention, their chemistry in the bedroom is just ๐Ÿ”ฅ⚡️๐Ÿ”ฅ

        This was everything I needed between my heavier reads. I decided to read this around 11:30 at night and read until 1am. I had to pick it back up when I woke up this morning and promptly finished it as fast as I could. I’m not one for holiday romances, but I honestly could be persuaded to read even more if they’re this cute.

        If you’re looking for a spicy read with wild monster anatomy, spice that will make your face flush as pink as Xo, and sweet sweet epilogues to give you the warm and fuzzies, this is for you. I cannot wait to push this onto @aerindaniels, @kj.the.nerd, and @moony_manga

Happy reading, friends!
