Resumen del Editor

Three steam-up-your-holiday listens featuring a single mom Cinderella, two sworn enemies catching a streaking Santa (and the love bug), and a Scrooge-like cowgirl who gets a second chance with the one who got away.

MILF on the Shelf

Single mom Maggie has given up on love. And dating. And hope that she’ll meet a man who isn’t better left on the shelf. That is, until her socialite nemesis swears Maggie couldn’t get a date to the Christmas Ball if her life depended on it. Scrambling to find a plus one, Maggie calls in a favor from her childhood friend, Penny. The one who works for a male escort service.

Up to Snow Good

The only thing worse than a streaking Santa dashing naked through my Christmas tree farm? Answer: Lawrence Beverly, the insufferable Brit who opened a competing farm down the lane, finding out about it. I loathe Lawrence like cocktail sauce in my cocoa, and there’s no way I’m letting him use Mr. Jingle Balls against me. Luckily, I have a foolproof plan to take care of my Santa problem. Or so I think, until it goes hideously awry and Lawrence sweeps in to save the day. Now we’re making out in front of my fireplace and he’s saying all the right things, but can I trust this man with my heart? Or is he still up to snow good?

The Twelve Dates of Christmas

It’s the time of year for miracles. Once upon a time, Lula and Carter were inseparable. But when their romance faltered, the holiday lights went out in Lula’s heart. She gave up on love and embraced a hermit’s existence, until Carter pops back up in Lonesome Point, begging for a second chance. She gives him 12 days - and 12 dates - to make his case before she sends him packing. Soon, however, not even Lula Scrooge can deny she and Carter go together like cocoa and cookies. But when her old fears are reawakened, it may take a holiday miracle to keep them together.

Three Amazing Short Holiday Stories

What a fantastic holiday treat! Hottie for the Holidays contains three steamy holiday rom-coms, Milf on the Shelf, Up to Snow Good, and the Twelve Dates of Christmas. Not only did I absolutely loved each story, but I loved that each story brought me back to prior Lili Valente books.

<b>Milf on the Shelf</b> (single mom, younger guy, fake boyfriend)
When Single-mom, Maggie, needed a last minute date to the yearly Christmas Ball, she called Penny her childhood friend to help her find the perfect fake boyfriend. After being out of the dating scene for years, Maggie had no expectations. She just wanted someone who was convincing as her date. Coop didn't expect he would feel an instant connection with Maggie. She was the type of woman Coop was attracted to. The two hit it off from the moment they met. Although he was hired to play the role of her boyfriend, it never felt that way between them. I loved the chemistry between these two. I also LOVED that this story took place in the Hot Revenge for Hire (Magnificent Bastard) world. Penny and Bash were still running their male escort service. Bash and Penny are one of my favorite couples and Penny's role in this book was such a treat.

<b>Up to Snow Good</b> (enemies to lover, rivals to lovers, British hero)
This one was so good too and it takes place in the world of the Hunter Brothers. Lawrence Beverly came to the U.S. and opened up his Christmas Tree farm next to Lucy's Tree farm. Lucy despises Lawrence.. Just when we think we know why Lucy has such a dislike for Lawrence, we learn that the two shared a passionate night that Lawrence just didn't remember (or did he?). Lucy was hilarious. I loved her. Just like the prior story, I loved the characters in this book, but loved that this story took place during the time when Emma and Dylan (from the Baby Maker) were in the midst of their own rivalry and "hate" for one another. Loved it so much.

<b>The Twelve Dates of Christmas</b> (second chance)
This one was really a beautiful story about first love, broken hearts, and second chances. My heart broke for Lula. She was such a brave an amazing woman. She went from being a free spirit to sheltering herself from feeling anything. Lula blamed herself for tragedies that occurred in her life that she wasn't at fault for. Having experience lost and a broken heart, she had just given up. Almost a decade later Carter, the man who broke her heart, returns her small town with the intention of winning her back (with the help of an old spirit and some Christmas Gnomes).

Hottie for the Holidays was a perfect, feel-good read. These short stories are exactly what I needed to get me more in the spirit of the holiday. I read the e-book and later listened to the audiobook, narrated by Jason Clarke and Lili Valente (Milf on the Shelf), Shane East and Lili Valente (Up to Snow Good), and C.J. Mission and Lili Valente (The Twelve Dates of Christmas), and I fell even more in love with these stories and the characters. Lili is so talented. It is truly amazing listening to her narrate three different characters and given each one their own individual voice and personality. Each character comes to life in such a different, but equally as perfect way.

I'm not going to lie, all three stories made me want to revisit (re-read) some of my faves like Penny and Bash and the Hunter Brothers.

Fun Christmas novellas

These stories were fun, well written and put me right into the Christmas spirit. I can’t wait to listen to more by this author.

Unforgetable

Bookfriends, grab yourself a copy of this holiday deliciousness! A new-to-me-narrator CJ Mission plus 3 of my fav voices: Lili Valente, Shane East and Jason Clarke. Funny and smoking hot! I really enjoyed these novellas and every narrator in the audio was fantastic! I could not get enough of this book and I loved every minute!! Peppermint Frosting, Spankings, Fake Dates, & Garden Gnomes

Fun and Steamy Holiday Collection

Hottie for the Holidays contains three fun, steamy novellas full of holiday cheer. Each novella is short and full of the hotness and the humor that Lili Valente does so well.

MILF on the Shelf is a delight age-gap romance with a wonderfully romantic fake date turned instant attraction that is so much fun. I loved Coop and how he adored Maggie from the start. Their romance seemed fated from the start.

Up to Snow Good was a fun, enemies to lovers romance with two rival Christmas tree farmers. With a streaking Santa and misunderstandings galore, you’ll love the banter between Lucy and Lawrence as they try to catch the bandit and figure out how to communicate.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas was my favorite. In this second chance romance, Lulu and Carter were young in love but wanted different things in life. When Carter left town, he broke Lulu and when he returns years later, he has his work cut out for him when he vows to win Lulu back. I loved watching the lengths Carter would go to prove his love and watching Lulu slowly reclaim her love of life.

Lili Valente was the female narrator for all three stories and she was fantastic as usual. She's actually one of my favorite narrators to listen to and she always brings the characters to life. Each story had a different male narrator and all three were great, especially Jason Clarke. I could listen to him all the time.

These three stories are the perfect way to get you in the holiday spirit.

Perfect for the Holiday Season!

Hottie for the Holidays by Lili Valente was the perfect steamy holiday audio treat! This audio collection includes three holiday novellas that are the "star on top of the tree" for the festive season. These novellas are narrated by Lili Valente, Jason Clarke, Shane East, and CJ Mission.

MILF on the Shelf is narrated by Lili and Jason Clarke, and I loved this sweet and steamy single mom wins younger man story! I really enjoyed this story and both narrator's performances of Maggie and Coop! Up to Snow Good was narrated by Lili and Shane East. I loved the playfulness of the hilarious and swoony story! The Twelve Dates of Christmas is narrated by Lili and CJ Mission. This cute "Scrooge-like" second chance romance warmed my heart, and left my with all the happy holiday feels!

Overall, I loved this festive audio treat! If you are looking for something to put you in the perfect holiday spirit, and make you heart feel super happy, then I highly recommend Hotties for the Holidays!

Cute, Huggable, Page after Page of Hottness.

These books are just long enough to make you hot. Rich characters, and some knomb craziness. love it. read it!

Great collection of holiday novellas

Loved this collection of holiday novellas from one of my favorite rom-com authors! It really hit the spot this holiday season, and it will be a go-to when I need a quick mood lift throughout the year.

Milf on the Shelf was a great single mom romcom! I loved the dynamic between mom Maggie and teen daughter Lexi. Coop is a great date-for-hire that comes to her aid, and their connection was just so easy, quick and perfect. This is in the Magnificent D universe, so some familiar characters made appearances as well. In the audio, this is narrated by Jason Clarke and Lili Valente, and their delivery is just perfect!

Up to Snow Good features an enemies-to-lovers second-chance romance between Brit Lawrence and Lucy. Lucy has a naked Santa on her tree farm, and Lawrence is determined to help her out, even though she wants nothing to do with him after he seemingly rebuffed her previously. Talk about shenanigans! Narrated by Shane East and Lili Valente, the comedy and genuine affection really jumps out of the audio.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas features Carter and Lula, a true second-chance romance after Carter left Lula behind years ago. He broke her heart, and he has 12 dates to win her back. Hopefully he can not only win her back, but help her find the holiday spirit that left her when he did. A truly heart-warming holiday romance. Narrated by CJ Mission and Lili Valente, it was great listening to Lulu thaw to Carter's efforts.

Overall, a really heartwarming holiday collection that leaves you smiling.

Three adorable holiday stories!

All three holiday stories are adorable! #1 is a fake-to-forever, single mom meets hottie with wonderful performances by Jason and Lili! #2 is a second-chance/enemies to lovers with adorable hijinks and more narrated by Shane East and Lili. #3 rounds out the holiday hijinks with some hilarious situations and more second chances narrated by C.J. Mission and Lili. Merry Christmas to me, I grinned the whole time!

OMG!!!

Hilarious and heartwarming. The first two stories are awesome. They are sweet and steamy short stories that will warm your Romance heart, but the last story, that one stole my heart. It was a new twist on myths grumpy sunshine trope. Honestly I was going to save it for tomorrow. I had listened to the first two stories and was feeling like I could wait , but my work ran a little longer than I had expected and I ended up listening to the first chapter and suddenly there was no way I was stopping. So yeah the first two are awesome, but story 3, the twelve dates of Christmas was an impossible to put down fantastic addiction.
