Hot Holiday Nights is book #10.5 in the Play-by-Play series by Jaci Burton. I’ve known for a long time I wanted this book to be part of my Christmas reading this year and I’m so glad I did. It’s my first book by Jaci Burton but definitely won’t be my last.

I had fun! When a new part of the Play by play series comes out, my decision is simple, I have to read it! But this ... this was completely different from the rest.
For the first time we have hot surfers, threesome and a true erotic! I would summed up this book with "sex&talk" thing. They talk - sometimes these conversations are a little stiff - get to know each and practice deadly hot sex.
Besides, it begins and lasts really nice. She is on vacation in Hawaii, they are involved in a surfing compe ...more

Just okay for me. On the written page, things appear hot. But I didn't feel a connection to the characters. I needed more. Maybe more back story/details? I needed a reason to care. I wasn't thrilled with the heroine. The guys were okay, but I don't know how they were going to make their situation work. I've read menage stories before where I could connect with the characters and believe in their relationship, but this one....

This is a series I've loved. The last book was bit average for me and this one, meh. Storyline i didn't feel at all. The sex, of course it was HOT!! But that was kind of it for me. Like i said, love this series but this one just didn't hit the spot for me.
Am hoping next book, with the next brother in the new family is back to what her others have been. ...more

Bow chicka wow wow! Hot holiday nights, indeed!
I’ve only read one other book in the Play-by-Play series, which was the one prior to this novella. I can assure you that Hot Holiday Nights, as with the rest of the series, can be read as a standalone even though some characters overlap.
This is a novella, but is it ever delicious. What’s cool about this one is it takes place around Christmas, but on a warm Hawaiian beach. No snow in sight. There’s even a surfing contest. Cue sexy surfers!

Sports agent, Victoria Baldwin, is vacationing in Hawaii for Christmas when she hooks up with Alex, a pro-surfer. The relationship is very hot and heated right from the start. They seem to have a quick and easy connection.
When Alex’s agent, Ben Reynolds joins Alex during the a Christmas ran tournament there is definite chemistry that ignites between Ben and Victoria. Although there is an attraction, they seem to build more of a friendship until one night when Alex and Ben agree to offer Victoria ...more

As a sports agent, Victoria Baldwin had met plenty of athletes in her career. However, when she goes to Hawaii for Christmas, she meets pro surfer Alex McConnell and the sparks are immediate. The hot ever-present sun is no match for the amount of heat these two throw off.
Since this is a novella in the Play-By-Play series, I do think that Jaci Burton moves at a very fast pace and this is especially true because this story features the first threesome in the series. So as Victoria and Alex ge ...more
OK, I normally love Burton and this series, but this book didn't work for me on so many levels. I didn't buy the menage relationship, the "I love yous" came WAYYYY too quickly, and it just didn't work for me. I love this series and will absolutely be picking up the next one.

The first threesome in the this series. And I like it! Very sweet and simple story.

Uhm so... this was not good. Maybe it’s because there’s ten books before this. Maybe because novellas can be hit or miss. But this one I just skimmed so much. The sex scenes were okay. Then they become a throuple... good for them, but it was just rushed. No thank you to this book. Also it may not help I’m not a fan of threesomes.

I have GOT read more Jaci Burton! This was my first book by the hugely talented author and I must go back and start this series from the beginning. I think there's a book or two in the middle of this series that I have tagged on my TBR but I really should start in the beginning. I want to eat it all up!

Hot dayum! Hot Holiday Nights brought the heat! Best way to spend Christmas vacation? A hot holiday fling with one very sexy younger man. How to make it even better? Add his older best friend into the mix.
Whew, boy! I was expecting hot, sexy, fun romance with a little Christmas spirit. I was NOT expecting a menage. But oh it was a nice little treat that rocked so many of my favoritest things. Sports, Christmas, menage, sexy ...more
Hot Holiday Nights was a quick, steamy read. It was packed full of hot scenes and an interesting relationship. Jaci Burton knows how to write sports hotties well.
When Victoria travels to Hawaii for a Christmas vacation, she can't help but catch the eye of Alex, a professional surfer, and Ben, his manager.
Over the vacation things heat up fast and soon feelings are involved. Will this just be a hot fling, or can it turn into something more?

Extremely sexy story about Victoria on vacation in Hawaii and her hook ups with a surfer and his manager. Not much to it, but if you want to get hot and bothered then this should do it.
Hot and quick....
Victoria Baldwin, agent and mentor to Liz Riley, is off on a much needed vacation. Tori has always focused on her career, not needing or wanting a man or family in her life. But she takes long vacations to decompress and not burn out on her demanding job.
In Hawaii for three weeks over the Christmas Holiday, she is thrust into the world of competitive surfing when she's meets the top athlete in his field, Alex. Alex is about 10 years younger than Tori and the perfect holiday rom ...more

The first threesome in the play by play series! Yippee!! Normally I tend to skip novellas but I'm so glad I read this one. And finally Burton brings a surfer into the mix which was a total plus! I hope we see more surfers in future play by play books!

Holy cow this book was hot. I never thought after reading previous books in this series that Victoria would find herself in love with these two amazing men. I really liked the age differnce aspect in the book, it gave us older women a leading lady that knew what she wanted and if it was a guy younger than her then why not. But also having Ben who was roughly the same age as Victoria just added to the appeal of this threesome. I look forward to getting little sneak peaks into their lives as the s

This was a good, interesting and quick read. A novella in the Play-by-Play Series, which I recently picked up in book #9 can be read as a standalone.
Things that stand out with this series remain the same for this novella: great covers, steamy and hot scenes, heroines that are strong, know what they want and do not apologize for it and heroes that are alpha males but not complete asses and are not only hot but overall great guys!
So at first I thought Victoria had to make a choice between Alex a ...more

Hot Holiday Nights is an apt title for this fun, super sexy novella, part of the Play by Play series but easily read as a standalone Christmas treat. It's the story of Victoria, a sports agent on vacation, who meets surfer Alex and his business manager Ben. Alex is a few years younger than Victoria, while Ben is her age, but the attraction to both of them is equal and undeniable. They are both handsome, confident man, in bed and out. What I really liked about the story was that Victoria was a st

This holiday themed novella by Jaci Burton is part of her Play by Play series but you do not need to read the series to enjoy this and although it takes place during the holidays it's not really Christmasy. You can enjoy it during the holidays or any time of the year. Tori is a successful go get em sports agent who finally takes some time off to enjoy herself. She heads off to Hawaii and the beach for a Christmas vacation. She's not into relationships but somehow falls into one with not one guy

If I see a book by Jaci Burton, I know it will be a winner. The Play by Play series is hot stuff. I was eager to read Hot Holiday Nights. It's a novella, so it did not have the typical character building. Fast moving BUT plenty of sizzle in the holiday themed short.
Sports agent, Victoria Baldwin, is vacationing in Hawaii for Christmas. Needing some relaxation and stress relief she set her sights on Alex, a pro-surfer. Tori and Alex intend to enjoy each other for the holidays.

Did you know I was so happy that this book is about surfing sports? Only to find my happiness cut short after I read the book blurb. GAHHH I don't like menage/multiple sex partners in romance novel. In erotica no problem, in romance is a no-no to me. It's just not my cup of tea.
