ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 8, 2022
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…absolutely nothing. Because he had no idea that he was my true love. What a jerk.
Noelle Lennon has been in love with Brady Breckridge for as long as she can remember. A sad, unrequited love that causes her nothing but trouble as she pines over her brother’s best friend. Now the gorgeous, muscled, secretive special ops bane of her existence is back in town, back in her life…and because a few dangerous incidents may have happened recently, Brady is suddenly declaring himself her personal protector. So unnecessary. Also…so strangely hot.
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me…too much temptation to handle.
Brady thinks Noelle is in danger, so he vows to stand between her and any threat. Full disclosure? He’s been obsessed with Noelle for years and learning that she’s in danger, that she could have been hurt or killed while he was a continent away…that truth has rocked him to his core. Brady knows he has to fight for the woman he wants, and what better way to win her over than to use the magic of Christmas in his battle? Christmas has always been Noelle’s weakness, and he is not above using that weakness to his advantage.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a final chance at love.
Brady will keep her safe, and he’ll charm Noelle into falling for him. His plan has to work because Brady can’t imagine his life without her. But as the nights grow colder and the fierce desire Brady feels for Noelle rages ever hotter, he knows that his control won’t last long. He wants one thing for Christmas this year…just one thing…his true love. And he will do whatever it takes to win Noelle’s heart.

REVIEW: KISS ME THIS CHRISTMAS by Cynthia Eden is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, romantic, suspense, erotic holiday novella loosely connected to the author’s WILDE WAYS series. This is US Special Ops soldier Brady Breckridge, and real estate agent Noelle Lennon’s story line.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Brady and Noelle) KISS ME THIS CHRISTMAS follows the best friend’s sister relationship between US Special Ops soldier Brady Breckridge, and real estate agent Noelle Lennon. Brady Breckridge is home for the holidays but found himself the personal protection of the woman he loved. Noelle Lennon is Brady’s best friend’s sister, off limits as far as he was concerned, but when threats against Noelle become dangerous and personal, Brady becomes guardian and protector of our story line heroine. A Christmas party ends in disaster, and Brady is determined to remove Noelle from any more danger but the danger seems to follow wherever they go. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Brady and Noelle, and the potential fall-out as madness, greed and obsession target our story line heroine.
Brady Breckridge has been in love with Noelle Lennon for as long as he can remember but threats against Noelle means Brady must step up his game in an effort to protect the woman he loves. Having made the decision not to re-enlist, Brady has set his sights on making Noelle his wife. Noelle Lennon fell in love with Brady years before but humiliation at a young age pulled Noelle out of his life. Years spent in the service, away from Noelle, gave Brady time to reconsider all that he wanted, and all that he lost. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Noelle’s brother Elliott Lennon, as well as fellow real estate agents Rowen Welch and Addison Lane.
KISS ME THIS CHRISTMAS is a quick read; a fast paced, holiday novella of suspense and intrigue.The premise is entertaining; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and dynamic.
