The Perfect Gift: A Christmas Cuckold Novella

by Clio Evans

What happens when you get snowed in with two hot lumberjacks and your husband?
Rosie is a pro bono lawyer on a holiday vacation with her uptight, neurosurgeon husband of eight years. Greg has promised a week-long getaway in a remote lake-side cabin where they can escape their high-pressure jobs and explore their fantasies...

The only problem is—it’s been three days, and Greg has yet to even kiss Rosie.

When a snowstorm hits Christmas Eve, two lumberjacks show up on their doorstep in need of refuge from the cold. Hawk and Ashton are two rugged, hot-blooded mountain men in need of something—or someone—to defrost their icy hearts.

Rosie knows it's wrong, but she can’t resist the temptation. Besides, it’s Christmas Eve, and she deserves the perfect gift…

the dialogue was so terrible but i wouldn’t necessarily say it was badly written? i’ve read from this author before but the writing here just felt juvenile. it also felt rushed like the author wanted to jump immediately from the introduction into the smut which is fine i just wish the author took more time to make things feel more realistic. i kept pausing the story to think “why are they letting this happen” and “how likely is this to happen”. i know this is fiction and literally smut so it doesn’t matter but i just prefer my books with a wee bit more effort

I was sold immediately based off a “We listen and we don’t judge” post that stated: “Had sex with 2 lumberjacks while my husband was tied to a chair with Christmas lights” 😂

And let me tell you…I enjoyed every bit of it🥵

No plot just smut, which is fun ofc. If this book makes you nervous given the title read the author’s content warnings. I honestly got nervous for a while, but I’m not one to kink shame so I pushed through cuz it’s good to read things that push my boundaries. I was soooo pissed at Rosie but also Greg at the same time. So many feelings for so much smut.

Spice: 5/5

Content warnings: Role playing, intense degradation, humiliation, praise, breeding kink, cuckolding, bondage with Christmas lights, pre-negotiations off page, CNC, pussy slapping, choking, rimming, pegging, handcuffs, biting, double penetration, triple penetration, knife play, spanking, squirting, anal sex, lumberjacks, and a heartwarming holiday fantasy full of fuckery between four people who do in fact love each other.

the fmc’s husband decides to help two men who were walking in the snow because there was a snowstorm. then the fmc proceeds to hook up with those two strangers instead of speaking about what she was feeling was missing in their marriage (physical intimacy) to her husband. from a lawyer i was expecting more communication and self preservation tbh. i know that it’s a novella but why jumping straight into the smut? it’s insane the way the author started developing the rh, if two scary stranger told me they wanted to fuck me after knowing them for 5 minutes i would scream and cry wtf

I fear I read this when I wasn’t in the right mood because it has everything I would usually EAT TF UP. But today? Meh 🤷🏼‍♀️

The entire thing is smut, there is nothing else. It is 🌽 which you know, I’m totally here for on an average day

Triple pen, swords crossing, human centipede type of situation, cuckold, role play, squ💦rting, p🥚ing, hot lumberjacks 🪓 I mean the list is endless tbh

Review : I totally gave this 4 ☆ only cause it was a fun spicy time

Rosie and her husband Greg are in this cabin, and Greg hasn't kissed Rosie in 3 days . Until he sees two lumberjacks and let's them in Rosie is pissed but then things get spicy with ash this whole book was entertaining and a super spicy book . Turns out they were all role-playing and have been together for years . I enjoyed it

I have mixed feelings for this book. On the one hand, I really did enjoy it, and I thought that the twist at the end was really good but on the other hand, I don’t know how I feel about the main trope in this book. Part of me was kind of uncomfortable with it, but I pushed through it and it made more sense at the end.

This is a trope I don’t ever reach for, but I’ve heard too many positive things about this and I’ve loved Clio’s realistic fiction.

This was the perfect, spicy, quick, and cozy read! Clio Evans is always there to provide us with the perfect mix of spicy and sweet - exploring all the fantasies. This was such a fun story and I was wholly invested from beginning to end, right along with Rosie.

[Sami | chaosandchapters_ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay, let’s be real. This book is pure spice with zero shame about being pure spice. The setup: Rosie and her neurosurgeon husband are stuck in a remote cabin for Christmas, but after three days without so much as a kiss, she’s left wondering why she even bothered with a “romantic getaway.” Enter two hot lumberjacks, a snowstorm, and a whole lot of naughty temptation.

Does it have a plot that will change your life? Nope. Does it have heat, holiday chaos, BDSM vibes, cuckolding energy, and rugged mountain men defrosting more than just the cabin? Absolutely.

This is the kind of book you read when you want something steamy, short, and very in the moment. There is no deep character arcs, no soul‑crushing angst, just unapologetic holiday naughtiness. And honestly? I ate it up.

Three stars because it delivers exactly what it promises: hot, silly, festive fun. Not literary depth, not emotional complexity, but definitely enough heat to make you wink at your own reflection. ❄️🔥📚

[Brooke.reads_books · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this filth! This was good and quick smutty Christmas novella that was the perfect palette cleanser. This was so hot. Like damn. What’s better than getting railed by two hot broody lumberjacks while your husband is tied up with Christmas lights and forced to watch? I’ll wait.. 🤭 Also, there’s a part that caught me completely off guard and made my jaw drop (in a good way). If you want a novella that is purely spice, this is the one for you!

This was a super fun, short read! Exactly what I needed from Clio Evans right now 🙏🏻

Did I read this when we’re headed into the summer season? Yeah, so what? I’m gonna enjoy a read no matter if it’s a seasonal one 😂

There was absolutely no depth to this, but I had a great time. The premise was a bit hard to maintain due to the kinky things the characters get up to, and tbh I would’ve preferred knowing the “twist” from the beginning because the kinky stuff was out there and harder to swallow through the original premise, but a good time was had all around regardless.

This book read well and kept things fast paced and interesting. Little twist at the end but if figured it out halfway through. Not a bad read but more smut than plot but not so smutty that their is no plot at all.

Rating: 3.5
Spice rating: 3/3

I’m glad I read the blurb for this one before I dove in and even still the ‘cheating’ was sitting wrong with me until a certain point. But once things became obvious I enjoyed it even more! It was so spicy and I honestly enjoyed these four together a lot. Definitely one of the spicier holiday novellas I’ve read so far.

[Adrienne Klassen · Rating 3 out of 5]

⭐️3.5. Um. Well. There is about maybe 5 pages of plot, and the other 85 is smut. Not complaining! Definitely listen to the TW, but know that it makes alot more sense about half way through. It had it's twists (or switches, if you will), so i was definitely entertained the whole time.
This is definitely on the trend of "We listen, and we don't Judge".

[Andrea ☾ [is inconsistently consistant] · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 ⭐️ First book of 2026!

Not my favourite... It's basically a BDSM scene played out, waaaay too much CNC for my taste but the ending kind of made up for it.

Still, I almost DNFed at around 55% because, even though it was REALLY HOT, it was also borderline insane and not safe at all.

Unreliable narrators will do that to you, though.

The Perfect Gift

Is my rating based purely on smut because that’s all this book is? Why yes it is. And guess what… I’m not mad at that.

This definitely put the Ho-in-Holidays… and put a Christmas smile on my face.
