Description
DASHA:
Flying is the biggest perk of being the new Dasher on that one present-filled night. But the other days of the year, I’m working next to the other reindeer shifters at Santa’s mystical gentleman’s club, where “our standards are as high as our heels.”
However, I don’t fit the standard. I’m too quick and jerky. I lack curves and am having a hard time faking lust without making weird faces. And my worst problem? I’m not a replica of my famous aunt, who owned every spotlight.
If I lose my job, my flying powers will be revoked, and my dream broken like a shoddy toy. I’m failing hard. And then I run into a legend I never expected…
KRAMPUS:
It’s fortunate my name instills fear in so many. I will use that to uncover a new business that’s poaching workers from my pleasure club, Criminal.
This situation screams of my half-brother’s competitive nature, and his new does are on the top of my list for questioning. Especially one fluttery, pink-haired beauty that’s too enticing to my inner demon.
No one is that innocent. It’s an act, and I’m going to uncover everything about Dasha Dasher…

Holy Hotness! Santa is a very bad boy in the off season! He owns a strip club and his reindeer are actually all female shifters that strip for the club when not flying his sleigh! Jack Frost is a rich VIP, Krampus is Santa's brother and owns a competing club and new little flyer, Dasha Dancer, is in way over her head! This has to be the most fun erotica that I have ever read! This book totally has the potential to be a series and I dearly hope it will be as the characters are fun, the plot is spicy with entertaining dialogue and the spice is definitely hot, hot, hot! If you are going to get your panties in a wad over the fact that someone as wholesome as Santa is a very, very bad Santa then you should go read something else, but if you can deal with childhood idols being sssexy and bad in all the best ways, then this book is right up your alley!!!

4 Stars
3/5 on my personal spice scale
This lovely holiday romance was so fun and festive, and perfect for monster romance lovers!
This a shifter / monster romance mashup with amazing spice, clever world-building, and so many warm and fuzzy holiday feels. I absolutely loved the main couple, but Dasha's friends are so lovable too and it was fun to watch their friendships develop. We love to see female friendships!!
Georgie's writing style is so engaging, and her characters always feel so real! What a great seasonal read!!

Lots of Spice
Dasher just got announced as a flyer for Santa’s sleigh. It’s a dream for any reindeer shifter. Coming from a longline of dashers, she was floored when she was announced over her cousins. Coming from a broken family, she has trust issues, abandonment problems, and she is awkward but all of those features make her more relatable.
Dasher decided to work at Arctic Room with her fellow reindeer shifters. Although she isn’t sensual in the traditional sense of the word, there is something about her innocence that pulls and draws in the predators around her. Yet, her attention is solely on the legendary Krampus! Little do they know, her innocence act, isn’t an act!
Krampus has a complicated history and relationship with Santa…not one you would have seen coming! Running his own club the Criminal, keeps him busy. Dealing with power hungry groupies, leads him to isolate himself but occasionally even the boss needs to play.
Heading to check out the competition and annoy Santa as a bonus, he heads to Arctic. Little did he know, the little doe would catch the “monster” eye and he always gets what he wants.
Spicy Christmas tale with love, family, and becoming comfortable with yourself. It was a hot story but the characters were delightful and their interactions were delicious!

It's quite an interesting way of portraying life in the north pole in non Christmas days.
I really enjoyed reading this one because of the irony. Santa is great at business but horrible with his family. Krampus should be the bad guy in this scenario, but he cares more about family than business. Dasher is trying to do things she doesn't like only to please her aunt... and such aunt is going behind everyone's back doing shady things. Apparently, life in the north pole is nowhere near like we imagine it. At some point it feels like the people we have grow up to love aren't really the good guys in this story.
I don't know if we should call this a retelling or a reimagining, but it is really entertaining. I finished it in one day and I was really dissapointed when I didn't find a sequel, because I would really like to know how things went on after such a great final act.
