Publisher's summary

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially for a comic book illustrator whose late-night fantasies become real in a festive and flirty short story by bestselling author Alexis Daria.

All Evie Cruz wants for Christmas is a nap. And maybe some ornaments for her naked Christmas tree. And while she’s making a list, she wouldn’t mind unwrapping her sexy upstairs neighbor like a present. Luckily, the building’s Santa-themed party and a surprise sprig of mistletoe give her just the opening she needs to make all her wishes come true.

Alexis Daria’s Only Santas in the Building is part of Under the Mistletoe, a stirring collection of December romances that thrill and tingle all the way. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

Instalove and holiday vibes

Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria
-Under the Mistletoe Book 5-

It was okay
2/3🌶️ (spice)
2/3🦋 (swoon)
4/5🎙️ (narration)

•My Thoughts•
I mostly finished this series because I just needed to complete it. This was fine - instalove but great holiday vibes and some sweet moments of swoon. I liked that the FMC was a comic strip artist! I think spice in a 60 page story is just frustrating for me. By nature of the number of pages, the spice to plot ratio is going to go up with even just one scene. I was annoyed with how the MCs fell into bed together but they redeemed it with some sweetness and depth after. Obviously, this is a personal preference and won’t bother some! Fun holiday vibes.

🎙️Narration Notes🎙️
Ruby Corazon did a fine job bringing this book to life. I didn’t have any complaints and enjoyed her accents.

The sweetest holiday romance!

This is the sweetest story on two neighbors in New York falling for each other during the holidays. So much so, that the elderly couple also living in the building helped set them up! This will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside, ready to celebrate love, and Christmas Day.

Fun Holiday Romance

This was a really fun holiday romance.

I was looking for something short to listen to, so I grabbed this from Kindle Unlimited. It is part of an Amazon Original 5 novella collection called Under the Mistletoe, written by some of romance's most popular authors available in print and audio. I'm a big fan of these collections when I need something on the shorter side to read or listen to and I can get them all with my KU subscription and there is something in every genre. I haven't picked up the others in the collection yet, but there's plenty of time before Christmas.

This particular book was really cute and I loved the characters. Evie is a comic book illustrator and spends long hours working on her art. She has a crush on her upstairs neighbor, but she forgets her people skills when he is around. Theo equally has a crush on Evie, but awkward moments and missed signals have them on the wrong track. The apartment holiday party is the perfect place to air their romantic feelings and get things moving in the right direction.

The audiobook was about an hour and a half, but it felt like a complete story. You knew who the characters were, what their intentions were, and how things ended. There was a nice amount of spice, but it wasn't overly graphic. If you are looking for a fun holiday romance, this is a good option.

Great holiday romance!

Great story with just enough slow burn romance for a short story. The characters are likable and the performance is perfect.

Channeling Mariah Carey’s Xmas spirit

“This is so much like my borrow a cup of sugar fantasy, I want to pinch myself.”
A frisky little gingersnap of a holiday novella, this had almost the perfect amount of sugar and spice.
Most importantly, this author clearly understood the holiday (and mistletoe) themed assignment.

“Is this where I make a joke about wanting to sit on Santa’s lap?”
Sure, things go all the way before Santa can twitch his nose.
And yes, there’s a few unnecessary F bombs.
And sure, this would have been hot chocolate perfection with duet narration.
But all I want for Christmas is a feel good holiday quickie.
Mission accomplished- let the Christmas season begin!

Fun

Cute and short. The building is an apartment where the heroine is in lust with her hot neighbor. They hook up at a Christmas party with the hero wearing a Santa hat. Some of the dialogue/thoughts were interesting like when the heroine thought: "Stuffing my stocking with your candy cane" before he does his dirty talk with the obligatory "good girl". It was fun.

Holiday Santa-themed party, they live in the same building and have been crushing on one another!

So this one felt like we got a full-on story/plot more-so than some of the other novellas in this collection! She’s a comic book illustrator who has been crushing on her upstairs neighbor. When her building is throwing a Santa-themed party, it is the perfect time for sparks to fly! And then she finds out he’s actually been into her too and trying to surprise her, but she just didn’t notice! We only get her POV and it would have been fun seeing his too, but for this novella I already feel like we got a lot for the little page count it actually is. Super fun!

A holiday novella part of the Under the Mistletoe collection, I binged all 5 of these holiday novellas since they’re all available on KU with read and listen and so so short! One of my favorites in the collection.
