Christmas Nights with the Polo Player
Sizzling mistletoe kisses… Lucy Lavender knows she should resist wickedly sexy boss, and Brazilian polo champion, Gabe Ortoya. Playboy Gabe is vet Lucy's ticket to a career in equine medicine and she's going to make full use of her valuable new contact, which means no mixing business with pleasure…as tempting as that pleasure is! But spending Christmas with Gabe—and the whole Acosta family!—opens Lucy's eyes to a whole new side of this notorious heartbreaker. After a devastating Christmas kiss under the mistletoe, Lucy finds it increasingly hard not to surrender to the temptation that is Gabe Ortoya… Especially when sinfully delicious Gabe seems to have made it his Christmas mission to get Lucy into his bed!

Time is short in the period leading up to Christmas! I found Christmas Nights With the Polo Player by the awesome Susan Stephens the perfect length novella! I was able to finish it in one lunchtime sitting (well dont tell the boss but maybe a lil... just a lil... extra time was spent at my desk, I couldnt put it down)
The best thing about Novella’s when they are done well is they quickly get to the point, no mucking about and in 10 chapters we got to revisit the delicious Acosta’s, meet Lucy (Holly Acosta’s best friend) who is working for Gabe Ortoya, one of the Acosta’s cousins, and who also happens to be the current captain of the Brazilian polo team.
Gabe also owns the nightclub Holly is working at to supplement her income while making her way thru vet school. Attraction is at an all time high and Gabe isn’t used to the ladies backing away so he pursues Holly when fate (well actually matchmaking Holly) places them both as guests at the Acosta’s Christmas Party.
I love this novella for the chance to revisit the Acosta’s; for the fast paced read which I enjoyably raced thru, for the yummiest characters and because It packs a punch in the emotional stakes. Lucy is cute as a button, feisty as and naturally gorgeous. Gabe is just the yummiest man in Polo world (bar the Acosta’s). He knows what he wants and goes after it with a passion that left me breathless.
Christmas Nights with the Polo Player is ummissable if you've been keeping up with the Acosta’s or if you’re looking for a fantastic Christmas themed love story sure to crank the heat up for those celebrating Christmas in the currently chilly Northern Hemisphere…

OK well colour me confused Holly is the h's best friend? I though the sister Acosta Lucia was hence the flat borrowing in her story so she could meet her H Lucia's brother Ruiz?
Goodness the Acosta's are interfering busybody's constantly trying to set each other up with friends if I were a single pringle getting invited to that party I'd be paranoid about leaving with a husband!
These 2 were kind of cute but they were nothing special as all the brothers/cousins were billionaire business moguls/international polo players ranked best in the world (is the title split between 7?) Anyway didn't hate it and it passed a nice hour for me

This was a really cute story with a wonderful Christmas romance between two really adorable characters. Although it was a novella it appeared to be so complete and rightly fitted in a few pages.
The story takes you back to the world of Acosta’s and both the characters have some connection with them. Lucy is the best friend of Holly Acosta while Gabe happens to be one of the Acosta’s cousins. Their love story moves forward when they both are invited to the Ascosta’s Christmas
