When Lucas' office crush starts flirting with him, asking him if he's going to participate in the office Secret Santa exchange, Lucas is sure he's imagining the flirting. But then he starts getting his Secret Santa gifts and really starts wondering if they're from Zane, said crush. As each gift gets progressively naughtier, Lucas' fantasies get hotter, until he's about to burst with all the secretive, sexy thoughts that are starting to take over his thoughts even during the day when he's supposed to be working.

Zane has secret needs, desires that his ex made him feel like a freak for expressing. But he feels like Lucas would be just the man to give him what he needs - to take control of him, to demand his submission, to make him feel wanted the way he is. Thank God for the company's Secret Santa exchange because it gives him the perfect way to experiment, to see if Lucas is the man for him. Will Lucas be the perfect Santa he needs this year?

While I thought Stuffed Stockings was hot and sweet, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. For one, the BDSM part wasn't very well defined. Perhaps it's because of the way too short length. Perhaps it was because Zane and Lucas weren't together long enough to be engaging in the kind of relationship Zane needed. Lucas was presented as a sort of nerd in the beginning, so for him to ultimately be the controlling top seemed completely out of character. Zane's character was sweet, but seemed about as deep as a piece of paper. If Stuffed Stockings had been expanded into a full length novel, though, I think the author would have been able to give the reader (and Zane and Lucas) what would have been the perfect D/s pairing I was hoping (they were hoping) for. As written, though, 3 stars seems fair for something that while hot and ultimately sweet and cute, isn't well-drawn and developed enough to be satisfying as something more than a short-lasting, hot little stocking stuffer.

This is an enjoyable sexy Christmas story by a new to me Author who I will be looking out for in the future.


Lucas has been crushing on one of his co workers ,Zane,for a while so when he starts receiving sexy gifts in the office Secret Santa gift exchange he can only dare to dream they might be from Zane.....

Nice idea for a Christmas story with some highly likeable characters and kinky,sexy times.

A sexy little Christmas Book...about the mysterious gifts Lucas receives in the Company gift exchange. While he receives these he fantasizes about Zane - who works in a separate division of the Company. Lucas is kept wondering if he will be able to use these unique gifts with Zane.
It's an easy to read, fun loving Christmas Story about love.

A fun and enjoyable Christmas story where secret Santa is a very naughty boy. We find Zane has been leaving Lucas some pretty outrageous gifts that can only be opened in private. Zane has been looking for the perfect partner who will be happy to participate in some BDSM with him and it seems he thinks Lucas is that guy. I enjoyed Lucas's reactions to some of the presents, especially in the beginning and there were a couple of laugh out loud encounters when Lucas tries out a couple of the presents on himself. It was a short but sweet HEA story with some well thought out characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin - Carina Press for a copy in return for an honest review.

This was actually really cute and I was entertained. I liked both characters although I will say that I never really bought Lucas as a nerd and Zane's character seemed to bit all over the map. The other issue I had was that the two don't know each other that well and the gifts that Zane was sending were WAY over the line for a work environment given he didn't really know how Lucas would react to them.

However, if you put those two issues aside it was fun, flirty and humorous. I enjoyed the story and for a light read and not taken seriously it was entertaining.

A very spicy mm office romance party that will have you laughing out loud one moment and hot and bothered the next moment.

This was exactly what it says on the tin. No surprises here. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because of the constraints of length the set up and execution of the romantic/emotional side of things was let down. However if you don't think too much about how putting kink gear into your crush's Secret Santa stocking at work to test the waters about how comfortable they would be with kink is a terrible idea, then the story is a super fun romp.

I give this book 4 stars. It was a quick read and confusing office romance. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Readers Copy of this book.

This was a cute, enjoyable holiday book! Set in the guise of a secret santa/elf exchange, Lucas starts receiving some rather unusual gifts. We know Zane is the sender and he is interested in Lucas, but Lucas is trying to guess. If Lucas wasn't interested in Zane, this would seriously be an HR nightmare, lol! But I understand it's a book and it's all in fun!

Zane was testing the waters with Lucas. He is interested in him, and wants to be dominated, but doesn't know if Lucas is interested in that. Lucas finds he does seem to zip to attention with his research! So yes, he is interested in that!

Even though this is a short book, K.A. Mitchell does a great job of giving us characters that are likeable, and a story that is fun, intriguing, and naughty all at once! I was smiling or laughing quite a bit throughout!

Stuffed Stockings definitely was an entertaining and amusing read!

A gifted copy of this book was provided by NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.

Lucas has a crush on Zane. Getting talked into the Secret Santa at work just wasn’t him but he decided to go for it anyway. When his Secret Santa starts giving him sexy, slightly kinky, then kinkier gifts, he hopes they are coming from Zane because he wants to use every single item on Zane’s gorgeous body.

This was a slightly different holiday story. Sweet, short, and like I said before, a bit kinky. Instead of naughty and nice it’s naughty and naughtier. Short enough that there wasn’t a lot of character development but in this case I’m ok with that. Definitely recommend if your looking for something quick and cute for the holidays.

This little holiday gem was nothing like what I'd expected. Sweet and flirty and definitely a whole lot naughty, it was incredibly fun to read and kept me smiling the whole way through.

The Secret Santa bit was very clever and K.A. Mitchell pulls it off in spades. In under 100 pages she gives us two well developed characters, an interesting supporting cast, and a terrific story.

I love Lucas, watching him blossom under Zane's attention works really well... and Zane is hot as hell. I'd love to get another story about him...

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

This was a cute fun Holiday read. I love this author's Bad in Baltimore series and this novella was a bit on the lighter side which was absolutely perfect! I'm a sucker for a good Christmas read and this one was super steamy, really cute and a perfect escape from the madness for a few hours!

I adored this book! The secret Santa gifts were so clever. Plenty of heat and I enjoyed that the characters were unexpected. Both are stepping out of their comfort zone. Lucas is definitely not assertive and has a long standing crush on Zane, who is a bit flashier and alledgedley dates a model. Finding naughty secret Santa gifts behind his desk has a normally calm, quiet Lucas saying and doing things he never expected. This was truly just a delightful read. The pacing was quick and the heat just a little wicked. Highly recommend this book!

Sorry, this was a DNF for me, as 2 chapters in, I still hadn't figured out the narrator lead's issues.

Thanks to the publisher for allowing me a chance to read it.

Lucas doesn’t usually do the anonymous holiday gift exchange. But when his office crush, Zane, extends an invite. A little holiday cheer might be nice for a change.What he doesn’t expect are the bonus presents accompanying the bulge in his Christmas stocking—increasingly kinky gifts that have him wishing he’d torn into them in the privacy of his bedroom.
When I started reading I couldn't put it down. K.A. Mitchell is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
