Cat's Books: Romance

I love Christmas Romances. Yep. I do. 

How about some romance novels with extra Christmas spirit? Santa is sexy hero, his childern need dates, the elves are hot.  

I must say I did come across some eye crossing "erotic" titles when doing research for tis list but enough of that (I don't want you to have to wash out your brain like I did) 

Here are some wonderful Romances where Noel is real and needs a kiss.

Then, he sees a pretty woman dressed like an elf standing on a rooftop. He has no idea that entrancing vision will change his life—and hers—forever.

Just when it seems her luck can't get any worse, Erin finds herself falling in love with Reason, the man of chaos himself. But he’s more than he seems, and soon Erin is immersed in the clandestine world of the Santa Society, a centuries old secret organization that protects the truth behind Christmas.

people.” While she’s having fun, the transport sled takes off, leaving the naïve elf stranded.

Fortunately, handsome police detective Derek Clayton comes to her rescue, offering to let her stay at his apartment. Having heard horror stories about the big people, Sosie is both surprised and relieved to meet such a kind, sweet man. Not to mention one so gorgeous and well-built.

Even though Sosie expects the North Pole to send out a search party any day, she finds herself falling for Derek. She desperately wants to tell him she’s an elf, but knows he’ll never believe her. When the lies and omissions start to pile up, Derek can draw only one conclusion—Sosie is working for the mob boss he’s been after for
years.

Just when things seem like they can’t get any worse, the chief of elfin security shows up to drag Sosie back to the North Pole. How is a runaway elf supposed to overcome a determined security elf, dangerous mobsters and a suspicious boyfriend all while keeping her pointed ears a secret?
