Exes and Ho Ho Ho's is a novella by the very talented Lacey Black. I have read all of her books and loved each and every one of them. This story is not part of any of her other books. Thank you, Lacey for giving us new characters to love!

Novellas are always rather tricky. The stories are a lot shorter, so being able to connect with the characters and feel like the story is complete doesn't always happen. Exes and Ho Ho Hos is such a fun novella and Lacey Black had no problem making me love these characters. Even though I wouldn't say no to reading more about Brandon and Noel, this story felt complete.

God how I love second chance romance. This one was a great way to spend my evening curled up on a couch with a glass of wine.
5 years is a long time to stay separated but I loved how even when so much time has passed both of them were still struggling to forget each other. Even though it was a quick read it didn't feel rushed. The chemistry was at a all time high and when they (finally) found their way back to one another - it was pure Xmas magic.

Lacy Black is a new author 2 me ... loved this cover ...totally what drew me into wanting to read it. I love a great Christmas read. lighthearted Christmas novella. second chance romance. short and sweet. I really am glad to have read it and I know I will read more from Lacy soon enough. such a fun quick read.

Exes and Ho Ho Ho's is Lacey Black's newest book. It's a second chance novella and it's Christmas themed. Lacey, Christmas and second chances. Three of my favorite things! Even though this is a novella is packs all the punches of a full length Lacey novel. I laughed, teared up, got hot and bothered and smiled. A chance meeting after five years puts Brandon and Noel face to face. She's about to hand out some tasty retribution in the form of a forcing Brandon to participate in Christmas. In the ul

When I was searching for another holiday read, because let's face it, I'm addicted, I remember seeing Exes and Ho Ho Ho's and decided to pick it up. Let me tell you, I was so glad I did. This will not be the last book I read of hers.
“Not today, Satan,” she growls.
“It’s Santa.”
“Same letters. You’re definitely more Satan than Santa.”

This lighthearted Christmas novella is sure to put you in the holiday mood. Brandon and Noel's chemistry jumps off the page. Exes for the past five years doesn't seem to have extinguished the deep emotions between them, but hate is an emotion too, right? As ADA, Noel is in a position to choose the sentence Brandon gets for a misunderstood situation involving an old woman and a flattened Barbie doll. Having him do community service playing Santa seems like the best revenge, until he coerces her t

If you are looking for a second chance romance along with a bit of Christmas in it, then Exes and Ho Ho Ho’s is the book you want to add to your TBR list. This is a great weekend read, while curled up on the couch, and one that can easily be read in one day. It had the perfect mix of Christmas, rediscovering love for one another as well as just enough sexiness to keep you warm if you know what I mean.

The story has laughs, secrets, and heartbreak.
This is Noel and Brandon’s story. Brandon had it all, but one wrong move has him standing in front of a judge. Now his ex is deciding his fate. Noel knows just the punishment for Brandon. Making him play Santa to the community center should be good. Only problem is she must play Mrs. Claus. The passion flares but is it because of the closeness or something that could lead to a future?

Brandon has done the crime and now he must do the time, but he never expected that the Prosecutor would be his ex, Noel, and that she would use his dislike of Christmas against him and that his community service would mean he would be playing Santa.
It’s been five years since they separated, and she now has her chance for payback but it’s when she becomes Mrs. Clause to his Santa that things begin to get interesting.

Noel Winters never thought she’d lay eyes on the one who broke her heart. Finding herself stuck in between a rock and hard spot, she reluctantly agrees to play Mrs. Claus to his Santa.
Brandon Frost doesn’t like Christmas and likes kids even less. When he finds himself serving the community thanks to a vengeful judge, Brandon can’t believe his luck in having another opportunity to be with the one he walked away from.

Short and sweet this novella is all about second chances. Brandon broke Noel's heart 5 years ago and now she's gonna make him suffer by playing Santa for 5 weeks knowing he hates Christmas and doesn't like kiddos. Y'all these two are hot messes bickering and it takes a minute for them to apologize to the other but when they do its super sweet and they are inseperable. Even get a glimpse of the future.

Clearly I love Laceys books. So it was no surprise that I loved this one just as much. Great character development and such a fun story! I realize this was a novella but I hated how short it was necause I wanted more!!!! Maybe we can get a second novella? This book is about family, love and most importantly forgiveness and healing. I loved this story so much.

This was such a great story surrounded by Christmas. Brandon a lawyer finds himself in court and his punishment is to do community service as Santa, oh did o tell you he hates Christmas. Well every Santa needs a Mrs. Claus and enters Noel the one he let get away. These next 5 weeks will test them and will show them that true love never dies.

This was a fun, fast holiday read. It's also a great second chance romance. It made me laugh, smile, and cry. It's a book that will get you right into the holiday spirit. The epilogue was so cute and perfect for Brandon and Noel. I would highly recommend reading this one!

Avid reader, writer, mother, and wife! I love to read contemporary romance. Add in a little "spice" or hot guys in uniform pants, and I'm a happy woman. There's just something about diving into a book and engrossing in the magic of your hero and heroine getting their happily ever after.
