Wish List was apart of EC’s White Hot Holiday quickies. Just in case the title didn’t give it away, it is a Christmas story.
summary:
When Nicholas James draws Stephanie Martin’s name in their law firm’s Secret Santa exchange he knows he’s in for a merry Christmas, if he can figure out what to give the woman he’s wanted for months. When he works late and finds a crumpled piece of paper listing Steph’s personal wish list, he knows he is in luck. Because all Steph wants for Christmas is him, in a number of naughty ways.
And not-so saintly Nick is going to make every one of her carnal wishes come true.
I am going to be completely honest and say, Steph was pretty damn dumb for writing such a thing down – at work – during a meeting – and then throwing it away without tearing it up into lil bitty pieces – or eating the list.
But hey, in this case Santa is very good to her for being dumb. I do have to say I am a touch paranoid as well so, the whole never evah write anything down that has very a 5% chance of ever being found, could just be me.
Then you have the part where, for a lawyer, Nicholas James, is leaving himself open for a HUGE sexual harrasment case. hee but hey it works here… Wish List is a coworker to lovers story, which gives the reader a built in background. Think friends to lover with more of a chance of causing a headache later. But again… hey it works here *g*.
Nicholas is a good boyfriend but a serial one, you know the type that goes for monagomy. Just with different women, frequently, hell he is even still friends with most of his ex’s. The issue with Steph is before the word ex’s, he would have the word ‘many’. Like any good ladies man, Nicholas has found ‘the’ woman and is ready to settle down into Happy Ever After. The problem is he needs to figure that out, and then convence Steph of it.
And that is our story. Short, sweet, holiday fun… with a bow around the cock and steam on top. Great story! And fun read, no matter the time of year. Nothing like Christmas in April!
