The weather has cooled, but the passion between Kat Wilder and Blake Sterling blazes hotter than ever. Kat couldn't be happier ... except for one little thing.

She's looking forward to Christmas with her billionaire CEO fiancé. But the holiday plays a leading role in Blake's darkest memories, and he wants nothing to do with it.

So Kat makes a deal of her own. Give Christmas a shot this year. If it gets to be too much, you can get back in control with me. I'll be yours, completely yours, and you can do whatever you want with me. If you still hate it, we'll never celebrate it again.

Can Kat's love and submission transform Christmas from pain to pleasure for Blake? Or will they be forced to live without the season's joy forever?

I loved this novella. I really enjoyed reading The Billionaire's Deal, but I enjoyed this even more. You will want to read Billionaires Deal first before reading this though. In this novella, you see so much more of how Blake's childhood has affected him as an adult. He tells Kat that he does not celebrate Christmas, and he will be working. Kat is determined that that they will be celebrating Christmas together. We see a much softer side of Blake here, and we see a much more assertive side of Kat. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review. Thank you, Crystal Kaswell, for adding this to Blake's and Kates. story. I loved this novella.

I received this book for free to give my True and Honest Review

Here we're catching up with how Kat and Blake & how things are going on with their lives together. And oh how they got together in every bit way.
We hear that Blake Hayes Christmas and always work, which upsets Kat add she lives Christmas and she gets him to compromise things, for him to give it a try starting off with Christmas shopping which started off well until he see's something that brings back memories of childhood, which Kat notices straight away and removes him from the situation. She still managed to get him to tell what triggered his reaction which helps him also get to him to carry out the Christmas shopping.
She's able to help change him even in his emotional dark moments. Which Is so GREAT to hear and see, but oh god their sex life is such HOT EMOTIONAL joining together. They make cookies together and are going to have a family Christmas with having Blake's Sister Fiona and Kat's Sister Lizzie there so it all depends if Blake's able to get himself go through the celebration......

A short addition to the story of Blake and Kat from The Billionaire's Deal: The Complete Story: An Alpha Billionaire Romance. Happily engaged now, Blake and Kat, are facing a problem at Christmas. It’s Kat’s favorite holiday but Blake hates it due to the wounds of an abusive childhood he has yet to deal with. They come to an agreement to try to celebrate Christmas.

I liked that we hear some of this story from Blake’s point of view. He has certainly come a long way since the first book. While Blake has softened considerably, Kat has become more assertive. Leaving them in a much better relationship in my opinion.

As usual with Crystal Kaswell’s books, there are many typos. Not enough to take away from the story this time, but annoying.

Must read The Billionaire's Deal first to fully enjoy this lovely addition to their story.

Having read THE BILLIONAIRE’S DEAL, I was ready to spend a little more time with Kat and Blake. I liked this novella for the chance of seeing them again, and I really liked the continuing characterization. Blake’s initial desire to run away at Christmas because of lousy memories made perfect sense; it was how he’d dealt with things for most of his life. Finding love with Kat didn’t erase everything, but she did everything she could be love and reassure him . . . and bring him through it.

Again, the sex was hot, and it worked so well with the controlling nature of Blake’s personality. It gave him the façade of control when other things seemed to be spinning out of control. It was also a reminder that just because they got together, sex wasn’t necessarily boring.

This was a quick read, and a perfect way to start my Christmas Eve! The only reason it doesn't get a 5 from me was that the ending was a little abrupt.

A great addition to Kat & Blake's story!

This was an all-around feel-good little Christmas story that revealed yet more layers of Blake than I discovered in the previous book. The story was very low-stress (yet high heat!) and the entire premise was very fitting for Blake.

I enjoyed the ending, and I can't wait to read Lizzy's sotry!!!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an interesting, quick read that I really enjoyed. It was nice getting to see more from Kat and Blake, and especially during the holiday season as Kat tried to find a way for Blake to enjoy Christmas again.

[Catherine Coffman · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this short story we get to see Blake and Kat together at Christmas time. We get the story why Blake doesn't celebrate Christmas and can Kat change his mind? So happy to get more of Kate and Blake in this Christmas short story.

Good quick read. I enjoyed this one better than The Billionaire's Deal. The writing flowed well along with a difference in the characters attitude (Blake and Kat).

This was part of the bundle Submit that I received from the author.
This was a little better than The Billionaire's Deal, but the story still dragged on.

I read this book as part of a boxed set. We get a glimpse of what life is like for Blake and Kat. Blake is still struggling with some issues, but is trying to be a better man for Kat. Very good short story, with some sexy scenes.
