This great rom-com has heat, humor and suspense. Love her writing style, funny romance without trying too hard to be fun. Excellent descriptions and story pace. A * feel good romance.

Brandon is our hottie santa, who has a strong and vulnerable heart. Jade gives him a nickname of studmuffin santa.

Studmuffin santa is book 1 of the ponderosa resort romantic comedies. Can be read as a standalone. Best served in a setting with a comfortable seat, a fireplace, cocoa and marshmallows.

There are teachable moments about how even a few years later someone who has been bullied has backslashes from incidents. Totally relatable characters who will make you laugh, maybe want to strangle, and definitely want to hug at times.

Gingerbread sweet, reindeer tough--that's what marine santa is made up of? The setting was fun,a reindezer ranch at christmas is so fresh and new. Comical reindeers are a background for jade's and brandon's hea.

The dialogue is cheesy, the jokes are lame, and the woman doesn't realize she's hot. There seems to be a growing trend that poor language and crass usage equals good writing for those who can use better words.
