Kimberly Michaels can’t remember the
last time she got really down and dirty with a man. As a
major ball buster in the corporate world, she is constantly
busy and does not have time for a personal life. Craving
the anonymity of a one night stand, Kimberly searches for a
stranger at the hotel bar. Once she reels him in, they
indulge themselves with each other all night long. As she
sneaks away the next morning, Kimberly wishes she could
stick around but she knows that relationships are not for
her and almost mourns that she will never see him again. It
is a good thing she didn’t send a mourning wreath because
she comes face to face with her mysterious lover after she
arrives in Evergreen, the town she has been sent to scope
out the details for a corporate takeover. Ricco Maza, the
lover she never knew she wanted, is skeptical of her motives
but he can’t keep his hands off of her. What will he do
when he finds out that she is going to be the one to close
his town down?
Kimberly and Ricco’s attraction to each other and the
magnetism which drew them together is fiery and immediate.
Their love scenes were hot and burned the pages of
Have a Naughty Little Santa. But that is where
their connection ended for me. I could never establish why
they wanted the other to stick around except for the sexual
aspect of their relationship. Both had been devastated by
love before and didn’t want to be hurt again and that was
understandable. What wasn’t understandable was the fact
that their feelings caused this relationship to seem dirty
and underhanded. I never felt that they truly loved each
other until the very ending of Have a Naughty Little
Santa and because of that, I just could not relate
nor fully enjoy what I know others have raved about. Karin
Tabke will remain an author of mine to buy – I just think
the theme and characters influenced my judgment on
Have a Naughty Little Santa. |
