Review
This is such a sweet holiday story. Three of my favorite paranormal couples are celebrating their Christmas together and it is very exciting. A perfect holiday read, especially for those who are looking for a quick read.
Stephanie, Cora, and Leandra are all best friends and this is their first Christmas since they all found their mates. Stephanie wants to make this day special for her mate and also wants to spend it with her best friends. So, she invites them over to her house. But what's a holiday if nothing unexpected happens, right? One thing is for sure though, as long as they are all together, every day is a happy day.
I really enjoyed this sweet and steamy holiday short story.
P.S. Happy holidays!
