Welcome back to Reindeer Falls!
Bundle two containers books 4, 5 & 6
Elves with Benefits, Book 4
My name is Ryan Sheppard and I don’t care about Christmas. I’m only returning to my over-the-top Christmas-themed hometown to sell the house I inherited from my late uncle so I can get back to the city and the promotion I’m chasing at work.
Unfortunately, there’s a flaw in my plan.
Because according to the town Christmas cop, there’s a moratorium on selling houses during December. She says it’s bad for the aesthetic. She’s also slapping an alarming number of tickets on my front door. For being in violation of holiday décor. And I swear on Rudolph himself, one is for ‘unsportsmanlike Christmassing.’
To top it all off, this Christmas cop looks like a red-headed elf.
A sexy red-headed elf…
One Night with a Nutcracker, Book 5
My name is Jake Sheppard and I’m ambivalent about Christmas and the Christmas-themed town I grew up in. But when I find out my late uncle left me an old barn and acres of land, the decision to return home to build my dream golf course is an easy one.
Imagine my surprise when I arrive and find out I have a squatter.
An incredibly sexy squatter, with wavy blonde hair, green eyes, a free spirit… and a herd of goats.
Lexi hates my guts. Apparently evicting a non-paying non-tenant and her goats weeks before Christmas is grounds for war.
Except Lexi’s version of war includes flinging her clothing at me and, as it turns out, I might be in way over my head with this girl…
The Bachelor on the Shelf, Book 6
My name is Carter Sheppard and I actually like Christmas and my Christmas-themed hometown of Reindeer Falls. In fact, when I learn I have to return home in order to collect an inheritance—my uncle’s dog—it puts life into perspective for me.
Sure, playing professional baseball is great. But it won’t last forever and every player needs a long-term game plan.
And I just found mine. Wrapped up in the feisty, bespectacled package of the town librarian.
Unfortunately, she thinks I’m a player in all aspects of the word, but I’ve got a plan to win her over. Starting with a fake engagement…
Warning: Christmas in Reindeer Falls is more naughty than nice. These stories are over-the-top festive with merrily-ever-afters guaranteed. Novella length for quick holiday binge reading. Enjoy!

Christmas Spirit! 🎅🏼
I have been looking forward to this audio for some time, as soon as I knew there was going to be another three novellas to the Reindeer Falls series. They are fun, lighthearted and full of humor. They’re not only great to read or listen to during the holidays, but they are stories that will make you smile any time of the year.
Volume 2 is slightly different that this time we have three brothers who come back to town after their uncle dies to tie up lose ends. Each of them run into some trouble in the form of three besties doing their own thing around town. Having all three books bundled into one, makes it three times the fun and frivolity. I love this authors humor that it is slightly sarcastic, somewhat sassy but plenty of laughs.

¡3.5 ESTRELLAS NAVIDEÑAS!
❄️
¡Qué mejor para terminar mi TBR de diciembre que con estas historias cortas Navideñas!.
Tres amigas obsesionadas con la Navidad. Tres hermanos dispuestos a hacerles pasar un mal rato. Estas navidades pintan diferente.
Ok, en cuanto me enteré de que Jana Aston publicaría un volumen 2 de Reindeer Falls me emocioné demasiado. El año pasado me leí el primero y lo amé, lo disfruté por completo. Y este segundo no se quedó atrás. En esta oportunidad nos encontramos con tres relatos cortos de mejores amigas sufriendo por los hermanos Sheppard. Historias llenas de clichés, mucha Navidad y risas a montón. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?
Las tres novelas cortas nos contarán la historia de romance de todos los hermanos, regresan al pueblo porque su tío ha muerto y le ha dejado una herencia a cada uno.
- 🎄 Ryan, un grinch que debe lidiar con la policía navideña por no querer decorar la casa que heredó de su tío.
- 🐐 Jack, que al reclamar su parte del testamento no espera encontrarse con una persona que se opone a que lo haga.
- 🐾 Carter, el beisbolista estrella de la temporada necesita ganarse una oferta enorme, el único problema es que debe fingir una relación con quien quiere quedarse con el perro que heredó.
Todas me gustaron muchísimo, sin embargo, cada una tiene una puntuación diferente. Me llené de risas, aunque la de Ryan fue la que más me mató de carcajadas, por lo tanto, la que más disfrute. El de Jack me encantó con la tensión entre los protagonistas, y las cabras , no obstante, fue el que menos me gustó. Y el de Carter me sedujo enseguida con su Fake Dating, aunque no tanto como el primero, aun así, adoré este relato, sobre todo porque tiene los clichés que más amo.
Y no puedo irme sin mencionar nada de las chicas de este volumen. Maggie, Sutton y Lexi son espectaculares. Quizá fue muy conveniente que justo tres hermanos se enamoraran de este grupo de mejores amigas, pero es que son historias cortas de romance navideño, la idea es unirnos a este espíritu de la época.
- Elves with Benefits ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- One Night with a Nutcracker ⭐️⭐️⭐️
- The Bachelor on the Shelf ⭐️⭐️⭐️/75
The Reindeer Falls es perfecto para leer en diciembre, sobre todo si adoras esta época tanto como yo. Sí, muy cliché. Si no has leído el primer volumen te recomiendo que lo hagas, por ahora ese me ha gustado más, pero este se disfruta de inicio a fin. Y quien quita que el año que viene no tengamos otro. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

“He’s the kind of present that I’m scared to open completely. The one where you peel away the paper a little bit at a time, just in case someones woops in and takes it away. The kind of ornament that you love too much and it makes you worry about putting it up on one of the branches.
What if it falls? you think. What if it breaks?
But I guess that’s the thing about Christmas.
Sometimes, you just have to believe.”

Fun Christmas novellas. It was more tame than this authors usual comedy but I still enjoyed them.
December 2, 2021
Elves With Benefits - Ryan has returned to Reindeer Falls to finalize his uncle’s estate and he has no interest in partaking in the Christmas cheer despite the many citations he has received from a determined elf. To Maggie Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and it is her job to ensure that other people do as well. Every time they are together the sparks fly but who will win this battle of wills?
One Night With A Nutcracker – It all started with one goat that Sutton found abandoned on the road which led to her living in her trailer on land she didn’t own and creating her own business until the man who inherited the lands puts everything in jeopardy. Jake has plans to build a golf course and the only thing standing in his way is Sutton. She may be infuriating but there is no denying the attraction between them.
The Bachelor On The Shelf - Carter is a professional baseball player who finds himself back in Reindeer Falls and the new of owner of his deceased uncle’s dog Rudy. When he needs to remedy his reputation off the field a fake engagement with Lexi, the town librarian, allows them both to get what they want however their romantic dates are beginning to make their feelings for each other seem very real.
It is great to have these three novellas into one collection.

The Reindeer Falls Collection Volume 2 by Jana Aston
Narrated by Erin Mallon
affiliate links
The Reindeer Falls Collection volume 1 by Jana Aston was one of my favorite audiobooks when it came out in 2019. I was so excited to go back for a visit that I couldn’t wait for Volume 2 and re-listened to Volume One again. I thought I would need to to remember stuff, but honestly Volume 2 features all new characters. And while they mention the characters and places from the first volume, you didn’t need to read them first (though you should because they were so good!).
Three hot brothers return to Reindeer Falls when they receive an inheritance from their uncle. They all start out with a bit of conflict from the three best girlfriends—the Sheppard brothers may be hot but they’re kind of assholes…aren’t they?
Elves with Benefits
Maggie is the local “Christmas Cop”. Since Reindeer Falls is is a Christmas Tourist destination, everyone on Candy Cane Lane is expected to decorate for the holidays. If they don’t, you can count on Maggie, who over-the-top LOVES Christmas, to give a citation. Ryan just inherited the house next door to Maggie. He just wants to finalize the estate and get back to Chicago. He has no intention of decorating, but Maggie won’t take no for an answer.
This one was adorable in a really over-the-top way, but it kept me smiling the whole time.
Rating: 4 Stars
One Night with a Nutcracker
Sutton is a bit of a hippie who lives in a trailer on a local farm with goats. It all started when she rescued one, and then she found another…and another… Now she makes goat’s milk soap and her business is doing pretty well. That is until Jake Sutton shows up and informs her that she is squatting on HIS land that he plans on turning in to a golf course.
Sutton’s free ways are just perfect for loosening up Jake’s buttoned-up lawyer persona and I just LOVED the goats!
Rating: 4.25 Stars
The Bachelor on the Shelf
Carter Sheppard is a professional baseball player. The only thing his uncle left him was a dog, but he didn’t mind returning to his Christmas-themed hometown to come get the dog. He has also been tasked with cleaning up his reputation as a player. Lexi, the town librarian, is the perfect girl to help with that task. But can their fake relationship turn real?
I loved that Carter was a reader and loved his town. This one was super sweet, and I loved the shy girl and the player together.
Rating: 4.25 Stars
The Narration:
Erin Mallon is so amazing, especially at silly and sweet romance. Her voice is SO PERFECT for Jana Aston’s words that the narration brought this read up to 4.5 stars for me. Plus her man voice is just soooo sexy!
The Down & Dirty:
I’ve been in Jana Aston’s reader group since I read her first books and I feel like I have gotten to know her a bit. I love how these stories all really feel like her! They are sweet and quirky and funny, and each character has a piece of Jana in them. But Erin Mallon narrating elevated these to something super special.
Rating: 4.5 Stars, 5+ Narration (I feel like the books were sexy, but I don't remember how much!)

I got hit with all the COVID booster side effects and couldn't do much more than sit in a comfy chair with blankets over me. And this was the perfect audiobook to get me through it all. Funny, sweet, sassy, and Christmas-y.... I couldn't ask for more right now.
I will say that Maggie was almost too far over the top. Luckily she also had some of Aston's trademark sassiness and that tempered the insane Christmas spirit. So she ended up being a lot like a decent sweet wine - with enough acidity to keep it from being overly sweet.
Erin Mallon was fabulous as usual. She and Jana Aston are the perfect match!

I listened to Volume 1 - Volume 2 all at once. Probably wasn't the best thing to do. They got a little repetitive and annoying.
November 1, 2025
There is nothing better than visiting Reindeer Falls around the holidays! I absolutely adore this quaint little town and its inhabitants. This boxset collection offers three sweet Christmas stories each with their own happily ever after.
December 14, 2021
Cheesy, spicy, Christmas goodness.

A fun return to Reindeer Falls! 3 novellas that are just what I needed for the season! Jana Aston never fails to charm and make me laugh.
December 31, 2021
Great to have the whole collection of the newest Reindeer Falls novellas in one audiobook set! And, as with the first one, all narrated by my very fave, Erin Mallon!! Jana Aston is a brilliant storyteller, especially when it comes to the Reindeer Falls crew. I definitely recommend this collection.
1 (book 4) - Elves with Benefits:
Very cute start to the next round of Reindeer Falls novellas by Jana Aston - I truly adored the first ones so I knew it was going to be hard to beat them. This one was cute, but definitely didn't surpass the originals (I mean, how can you get better than the founding toy company family and the 3 Winters sisters?!). But, it was very fun, and made allusions to the 3 novellas running concurrently, so I definitely have to get going on the next ones to find out about the 3 brothers and the 3 best friends (3 bros and 3 girlfriends all ending up together?! Great idea!).
This was Maggie and Ryan's story, meeting because she is basically the Christmas spirit police, giving out "tickets" to anyone that isn't doing enough to celebrate, such as decorating, when he hasn't decorated his newly inherited Uncle's house enough. She gives him a whole lot of tickets and then they end up falling for each other - and he certainly ends up feeling Christmassy by the end!
2 (novella 5) - One Night with a Nutcracker:
This one was my favourite of the three! It was all about Sutton having her goat farm where she uses goat milk to make soaps and cheese... but she's actually squatting on Jake's land, using the barn for the goats and production, and living there in an Airstream! When the Sheppard boys come back to town, Jake plans to bulldoze the old barn and build a golf course, until he shows up on his inherited property and finds Sutton ... and all of these goats! living there. A lot of fun and shenanigans ensues, with her trying to sway him to see the greatness of the goats and why they are better than a golf course. This one was brilliant!
3 (novella 6) - The Bachelor on the Shelf:
Excellent - Carter Sheppard is a professional baseball player, and Lexi is his Uncle's neighbour. The Uncle left him his dog, and Lexi (the uncles neighbor), has been looking after the dog since his passing. She loves this dog and does not want to hand him over to the grumpy guy who doesn't know poor Rudy, so she doesn't want to risk the poor dog with this guy!

Elves with Benefits
I love Jana Aston in general but her Christmas stories are just brilliant. Who else would have the heroine describe the hero as wet sea otter?
Elves with Benefits sees Reindeer Falls holiday enforcement officer Maggie pitting her wits boy city home boy Ryan. Maggie is a transplant to Reindeer Falls, she lives for energy aspect of the town and its Christmas vibes. Ryan on the other hand left as soon as he could and since he returned he's had more than his fair share of tickets from the holiday enforcement officer for his lack of Christmas cheer.
I loved the banter, I loved the Christmas puns, I loved the spice.
One Night with a Nutcracker
Who knew goats, soap and ramshackle farm buildings would make a festive, banter filled Christmas story. Well that would be Jana Aston when she brought Sutton and Jake to life.
Jake Sheppard drives on to Sutton's goat farm in his porsche to find her squatting on the property he's just inherited, with her goats, airstream trailer and soap making business. Let just say he's none too pleased, but not as displeased as Sutton when he evicts her, her goats, the airstream and the soap business.
The Bachelor on the Shelf
When Carter Sheppard's uncle Joe passed away leaving him his dog, Rudy, he’s a little sceptical his brothers were left Joe's house and farm land.
Lexi was Joe's neighbour, local librarian and quirky soul. Lexi loves Rudy, caring for him since Joe passed and isn't best pleased at having to give him to Carter. Lexi doesn't believe Carter will make a very good dog daddy to Rudy.
Pro baseball player Carter doesn't have the best reputation and badly needs to improve that. So obviously a fake engagement to Lexi is the best plan. She plays along, she gets Rudy. Win win?
No one suspected that uncle Joe had a plan. Well I think Rudy knew, he was far to helpful for a dog who knew nothing!
This is a banter filled Christmas treat. Set in the delightfully festive town of Reindeer Falls.

While this was definitely another cute holiday romance anthology from Jana Aston, I didn't love it quite as much as the first collection. I just found that they didn't quite pack the same punch as before, although I definitely enjoyed reading them all.
Elves with Benefits - 3 out of 5 stars.
Cute enemies-to-lovers and opposites attract vibes. What brings it down is the heroine, honestly. I didn't mind her for the most part, but she did occasionally get on my nerves just because the things she said and did didn't quite feel... authentic? Some of them made me cringe to be honest. And the conflict. I REALLY didn't love the conflict. I don't think the conflict itself (what it was) was the problem, more just the reactions of both sides and the way that it was resolved...Still enjoyable though! Great banter :)
One Night with a Nutcracker - 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The names of these novellas, HONESTLY haha. I did enjoy this one quite a bit more than the others. Some great forced proximity goodness and some animals running romantic interference (in this case it's goats). The chemistry was great in this and I didn't mind the conflict too much.
The Bachelor on the Shelf - 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Ayyy it's a fake relationship! And who doesn't love a fake relationship story? Again, a very cute story where Carter (our hero) has a plan to win over the heroine by using a fake relationship. Lexi's the town librarian and there is some amusing discussion about Carter reading YA fantasy (he's one of us!!!!). The chemistry in this is great and I didn't mind the conflict although it did just feel a bit out of proportion (her reaction, that is).
Overall - a cute holiday anthology!
Elves with Benefits - 3 out of 5 stars.
Cute enemies-to-lovers and opposites attract vibes. What brings it down is the heroine, honestly. I didn't mind her for the most part, but she did occasionally get on my nerves just because the things she said and did didn't quite feel... authentic? Some of them made me cringe to be honest. And the conflict. I REALLY didn't love the conflict. I don't think the conflict itself (what it was) was the problem, more just the reactions of both sides and the way that it was resolved...Still enjoyable though! Great banter :)

Elves with Benefits Book 4
I'm definitely not a huge holiday story lover but I fell absolutely in love with Reindeer Falls last year and was so excited to hear we would have some more novellas in this magical town. This is Hallmark movies with some lovely spice included. This is definitely not your Mom's Hallmark movie (but hey movie world, THESE would make amazingly lovely spicy holiday movies...just sayin'). Our return to Reindeer Falls brings us three best friends who may or may not believe in Christmas Magic (you have to read it to see who does and who doesn't), but Santa works in mysterious ways and in come the hot boys from high school, the Sheppard brothers. In Elves with Benefits, we meet Maggie who is tasked with policing the holiday cheer of the town and does it with a gusto. Her nemesis Ryan is not amused. But when the bulbs go on, soon the sheets are heating up nicely and well....it is magical indeed.
One Night With a Nutcracker Book 5
And the goats have it. Every time I read a Jana Aston story, I see so much of HER, her quirky personality in every character. When I read Elves, I never expected Sutton to be the goat lady but alas she his. Her run-in with another Sheppard brother, Jake, once again is not smooth. He wants her off his property because he has plans for it. Will Santa be able to work his magic again with this unexpected couple? I'm totally looking for a goatvana to retreat to in my future.
Bachelor on The Shelf Book 6
Our final bestie, Lexi is our nerdy librarian. But what is she hiding under all those plaid skirts. When Carter offers her a deal that will allow her to keep her true love (Rudy the dog), she jumps in head first never seeing the snow and ice coming her way. Circumstances, Santa, fate (or maybe a meddling uncle) play a part in whether or not these total opposites (or are they REALLY opposite) will find their happily ever after. Thank you Jana Aston for bringing us more Reindeer Falls.

Book four: This was a short but super entertaining read. I loved the push and pull between Ryan and Maggie. She is a Christmas cop who will ticket you for not following the Christmas rules and Spirit and Ryan is a Big City Architect who has no use to decorate or get festive. The interactions between the two will make you smile and giggle she is so over the top about Christmas and he just is a Grinch. Reindeer Falls is all about Christmas and Maggie moved there to start fresh after College. Ryan grew up there and got out as soon as he could. This is a great book to start your Christmas romance reading with, it will fill you with cheer and leave you with a smile on your face.
Book 5:This short story follows Sutton and Jake as they hilariously fall in love. Sutton is a goat farmer and Jake is a big city Lawyer. When you stick the two of them together you have super hot chemistry between a bossy hot alpha and a hippie Heroine. These two will make you laugh and smile as you read. This is a super cute Christmas romance with a great HEA. They do struggle with some issues but is great to see the two of them work together and make things crazy good.
Book 6:This series has been super fun to read. They are hilarious and bring so much joy to read. Lexi is the nerdy librarian and dog squad, and Carter the Alpha baseball player. They are pulled together by a dog named Rudy. This story is a super short cute Christmas romance. They have hot chemistry right from the beginning and Carter lets Lexi know how it is. Lexi is a hot mess trying to be all cute for him it was a hoot to read. I absolutely loved this book it was a great read and makes you smile

Three brothers, three tales of Christmassy love!!
Elves with Benefits
The local "Christmas cop" finds love!
I was so thrilled that Jana Aston has returned to the town of Reindeer Falls ... and this time it's the Sheppard brothers who are going to get the HEA they weren't looking for when they each inherit something from their Uncle (a Reindeer Falls local who passed away).
Ryan has a run in with the town's "Christmas cop" (in charge of making sure everything is consistently Christmassy in Reindeer Falls) Maggie. Another great enemies to lovers story that I couldn't put down!!
One Night with a Nutcracker
The soap making, free-loving spirit finds her match!
I absolutely adored Jake and Sutton's story. When Jake finds Sutton squatting in the barn he has inherited from his late uncle, what ensues is plenty of laughs courtesy of Sutton's many goats (whose milk she uses to make beautifully smelling soaps), plenty of lust and attraction... and a story that will have you smiling right to the very end!
The Bachelor on the Shelf
The baseball playing Sheppard brother finds his librarian love!
I loved that Carter really did like everything about Reindeer Falls - including the local librarian. One fake engagement which stems from the dog that Carter inherited from his late uncle and that Lexi - the librarian who lived next door to Carter's uncle - loves and this story is a great way to round out the latest collection of Reindeer Falls stories. Am I asking too much in hoping Jana Aston finds a way to give us more from this town - it's a town I could definitely fall in love with again and again!!

Audio Review
What a great continuation to the sweet Christmas town of Reindeer Falls. This year we have three brothers whos uncle passed away so they are back in town to take care of his estate and see what he left for each of them. Uncle Joe has plans for his nephews and with the help of some Christmas magic they will find more than they were looking for.
Our three best friends are all in a fluster over our three Sheppard brothers but the magic of the time of year pulls them together and they each find their own Christmas miracle.
These are sweet stories that intertwine. What starts as hate becomes love and we understand why Uncle Joe left each of them what he did in his will. He left them more than material things in the end, he left them with love.
Erin Mallon is the perfect person to narrate Jana Aston's books. She always gets what is in this authors head and delivers it. I loved listening to her. It is funny and sweet and just a great listen.

It’s time to binge your heart out!!!
Reindeer Falls Series#2 by Jana Aston, was a fun, laugh-out-loud and magically warm hearted collection of novellas. Start with Elves With Benefits, continue on to One night With A Nutcracker and finish off with The Bachelor On The Shelf.
The Carter brothers have come to Reindeer Falls, the town they once called home, but now they just want to sort out their inheritances from their grandpa and get the heck back out of Dodge!!
None of the three were expecting to meet their match and when it came to Maggie, Lexie, and Sutton, that’s exacting what they got.
Add in some cute goats, a conspiring pup and an endearing relative who guides from beyond the grave and you have a wonderfully sweet holiday themed book to enjoy.

Jako contempo a délkou je to vhodné i pro ty, co by chtěli se čtením v AJ začít, protože nemusíte nutně číst všechny. Je třeba počítat s tím, že to kvůli délce nejde nijak do hloubky (třeba jako jiné delší romance), ale bezvadně si u toho odpočinete. Pozor, obsahuje explicitní sexuální scény... což je i celkem jasné díky žánru. PS: hrdinka prostředního příběhu má spoustu pojmenovaných koz (Sharon, Farmer John...) a ta poslední zase řeší pejska 😄.
- ENGLISH -
Three Christmas themed stories (aprox 100 pages each) with 3 heroines/friends falling in love with 3 brothers. There are goats, a cute dog, a lot of banter, some spicy scenes. I've enjoyed that very much 😁🙂. It's a light and quick read. The audiobook version is nice.

I really enjoyed this fake relationship storyline as the finale novella of The Sheppard brothers. Lexi and Carter’s chemistry is hot and their banter is fun. You can’t help but swoon and laugh out loud. Definitely a must read in this Reindeer Falls series.

I enjoyed these three stories. Ryan and Maggie are my favorite couple in here. Their story made me really smile. Well the goats were super cute in the second one too. So technically the first two are my favorites in here. The last one seemed a bit rushed. I listened to this on audio. Erin Mallon did a great job and is always easy on the ears.
November 8, 2021
This collection is perfect for being home alone and decorating your house for Christmas. It just gives you all the feel-good, Christmas vibes with HEAs in these short novellas. It’s sure to put a smile on your face.

It was very cute! I just love Jana and this book was very Christmas. Each book is about 13 chapters which to me is perfect for a holiday read. She wrapped it up very nicely and they all get their HEA.
January 1, 2022
I enjoyed the entire volume, but the goat farmer story was my favorite. Fun and light with very little HEA angsty-will-it-or-won't-it-happen waiting. The best part is that Jana Aston can write female characters you want to know and laugh with/at.
November 21, 2021
These book are everything I expect from Jana Aston. Perfection!
They are completely over the top, super sweet and funny.

These were cute, but the first volume was better. These felt a tad more rushed and a tad less believable. But still cute.
