Sexy, fun, a little bit of angst, a whole lot of chocolate (hero runs a high end chocolate shop), and just the right amount of sweetness.


Mangoes and Mistletoe by Adriana Hererra (contemporary f/f Christmas romance novella) I really enjoyed this baking contest themed romance.The light kink in this story is delicious, and I liked how the heroine was extremely competent. The characters are compelling and complex and have amazing chemistry. Christopher (contemporary m/f New Years romance novel) I enjoyed this very hot brother’s best friend one night stand to fling to lovers romance.

The MCs have truly amazing chemistry, and I could not put this down. Her Halloween Treat by Tiffany Reisz (contemporary m/f Halloween romance novel) Full of 80s references, this brother’s best friend romance balances heat, heart, and humor beautifully, and culminates in an 80s costume party queer wedding.To help celebrate my first holiday romance release, which is an erotic romance, I put together this list of my top twenty sexy holiday romances, and included as many fall and winter holidays as I could. As a reader, I particularly adore high heat holiday romance because it’s one of the few places where I can consistently find humor balanced with the heat. I love holiday romances, and read them all year long.

Xan West’s new book, Eight Kinky Nights is out on December 16 and I asked them to put together a list of their favorite holiday romances to share with the Smexy readers.
