Author: Sylvia DayFirst published in 2005 by Ellora's Cave
When Nicolas James draws Stephanie Martin's name in their law firm's Secret Santa exchange he knows he's in for a merry Christmas-if he can figure out what to give the woman he's wanted for months. When he works late and finds a crumpled piece of paper listing Steph's personal wish list, he knows he's in luck. Because all Steph wants for Christmas is him, in a number of naughty ways.
And not-so saintly Nick is going to make every one of her carnal wishes come true.
OK, I know it is almost Easter. But I was behind and looking for a quick Throwback read for today. I had this one in my pile and figured why not?. Wish List is a quickie Christmas novella by Sylvia Day. It was published as part of Ellora's Cave "Quickie" White Hot Holidays line. It's only about 44 pages, so it's definitely a quick read.
I thought the overall story was cute. Nick has had the hots for Steph for a long time. He has her as his Secret Santa. After finding her very naughty wish list, he devises a plan to give her what she wants and hopefully more. As with most novellas, I always wish they were longer. I would have liked to see their relationship develop a little more. But I did feel the chemistry between the two. My only complaint was the secret son part of the story. How can you work with someone for a few years and not know that they are divorced and have a kid? I did find that stretching things a little.
