The Nice List (Merry & Bright Novella) - Dee Lagasse & Victoria Ellis

Book Synopsis: There are two types of people in the world. The first believe the Christmas season begins at exactly midnight on November 1st. The other would willingly accept coal in their stocking if it meant they didn’t have to hear “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” ever again.

Bennett Winters hates Christmas.

November and December are the most stressful months of the year at Merry & Bright—the family-owned tree and caribou farm he’ll inherit one day. Which is why, it’s a surprise even to him when he agrees to go to a Sexy Santa-themed party with his best friend Clara—the self appointed queen of all things holly and jolly.

But then again, he never really can say no to Clara.

Clara Ivy loves everything about Christmas.

So, when her college roommate throws an early November holiday party, Clara goes above and beyond when it comes to her attire. Bennett’s jaw all but goes to the floor when he sees his quirky best friend in a tight red bodysuit that leaves very little to the imagination.

After years of trying to get Bennett to see her as more than a friend, Clara finally has his full attention.

What she does with it will determine if she ends up on the naughty or the nice list this holiday season.

This is the cutest holiday novella. Perfect to curl up and read with a nice mug of hot chocolate. There is some spice in this one and it reminded me of a Hallmark Christmas special in a good way. Very rarely is the friends to lovers trope done well and this is a case where it is perfection. I was able to read this in the span of an hour. It was very cute and I hope you love it just as much as I did! There is a sequel coming on December 11, 2023! Pre-orders are open now!
