About EXES AND HO HO HOS:

Brandon Frost has it made. Dream job. Nice car. Fancy house. Until one Black Friday, the defense attorney finds himself standing before a judge, while his future is decided by the one woman who knows how to bring him to his knees: Noel. His ex, and the assistant district attorney on his case.

 

Noel Winters knew that facing her ex again, after five years, would be difficult. That’s why she chooses the ultimate punishment for a man like Brandon Frost: playing Santa at a local community center for kids. Unfortunately for Noel, she finds herself right smack dab in the middle of Brandon’s punishment, playing Mrs. Claus.

 

Soon, the thin line between love and hate begins to blur. What happens when a once-dead relationship starts to rekindle? Will Mrs. Claus be able to trust her heart with the one man who has already destroyed it? Will Santa convince the Mrs. that love is worth fighting for?

 

*This 25,000 word Novella was originally published in November 2017 as part of the Mrs. Claus anthology.

Review:

Novellas are always rather tricky. The stories are a lot shorter, so being able to connect with the characters and feel like the story is complete doesn’t always happen. Exes and Ho Ho Hos is such a fun novella and Lacey Black had no problem making me love these characters. Even though I wouldn’t say no to reading more about Brandon and Noel, this story felt complete.

Brandon didn’t have a good day and was not expecting to have to play Santa. Noel thought it was the perfect revenge after the Christmas Eve she doesn’t want to think of anymore. Never did she think she would end up playing Mrs. Claus.

Exes and Ho Ho Hos lets us get to know these characters pretty quickly and I love that we learn more about their past as the novella goes on. We don’t get all the facts at once and that made this very enjoyable for me. Noel loves Christmas and romance books, which makes her a character I can definietly relate to.

This novella is filled with humor, romance, holiday magic and it ended leaving me with a cozy warm feeling. Just like I want a holiday story to be.

Exclusive Excerpt:

I continue to stare at her face while she openly appreciates the fine definition God gave me. I make sure to keep my eyes locked on her so that when she finally realizes what she’s doing, she’ll know I totally busted her perusal. It’s quite entertaining to watch, mostly because it’s a pleasant reminder that even though she hates my guts and wants to light them on fire (while they’re still inside my body), she’s still undeniably attracted to me.

Her eyes finally glance up at my face.

That sexy little mouth of hers drops open.

Those ocean blue eyes widen in shock.

And cue her blush in three…two…one…

“See something you like, Miss Winters?” I ask, giving her a cocky grin.

“Absolutely not,” she huffs, crossing her arms over her chest. Oh, that gloriously beautiful chest.

“Oh, come on, No. You don’t have to be shy around me,” I tease.

“Shy around you? When have I ever been shy around you?” she scoffs.

“I do recall you blushing a gorgeous shade of pink the night I finally got you naked and in my bed.” Yep. I went there.

“I can’t believe you said that!” she seethes between gritted teeth.

“Oh, believe it, baby.”

“You know what? Uhhhhh!” she practically screams.

Stepping closer, I invade her personal space and catch the slightest whiff of her perfume. “You can admit it. You want me.”

“Not today, Satan,” she growls.

“It’s Santa.”

“Same letters. You’re definitely more Satan than Santa.”
