I'm not sure why this book doesn't have more reviews as it is a very cute, lighthearted little gem of a book. Not to mention a very, very sexy cover. I love the cover on this book. The story itself has some steamy moments that are just as sensual and this is one case where you can judge a book by its cover.
Both of the MCs are well drawn and the story line is one I haven't read before. I really felt like I was in the story with them and the Victorian details were very interesting without being over the top. I hope the author is going to write about more of Noel's family as I can't wait to read about them based on how much I liked Noel himself.
I do wish it was longer. It seemed to end just when it got going. I could easily see it as the beginning of a much longer story.
Anyway, I recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of magic in their books and needs something enjoyable to read that won't cause any angst or keep them up late trying to finish it as it is easily read in a short amount of time and leaves you smiling.

Yuletide Enchantment is for people who...
...like a little magic with their sexin'.
...get a kick out of two people being trapped together.
...know that Victorians were naughty between the sheets (and with their toys).
...enjoy a happy ending. Again and again and again. *winks*
Yeah, I liked this one. It was fun and nicely naughty. Sexin' up one another with all those layers of petticoats and underwear sounds fun!

Yes I am reading a Christmas book in June. Perhaps I am hoping for some of that snow we got this winter to cool things off a bit. This book is not going to cool anything off. In fact I think it rose the temperature a degree or two.
Noel Holiday (HERO) works for the family greeting card company as a designer and is asked to check out the new Christmas display to see what is missing from it. When he gets there what he finds is Shelby Carter from accounting who is intent on the village. When they touch hands and the village at the same time they find themselves transported to that Victorian village or at least the house. Complete with Victorian clothing and condoms.
Once they discover there is no real way to escape they decide to make the best of it and let their attraction for each other takeover. But will it last when they are returned to reality?
I really enjoyed this book. And when you read any Ellora’s Cave book you know you are going to get sex scenes that are hot and detailed. I personally would have liked more about when they got back to reality it seemed rushed, a couple more pages might have done the trick. But the book was very well written and edited and I feel in love with the Characters.
If you are looking for something to heat things up this will do it.

A short, spicy read, full of fun. Shelby has liked the boss's son at work for ages. And secretly, he's liked her too, but they come from different worlds. When magic takes them into the Christmas ornament gracing the window of the shop where they work, they get shrunk down to fit into the house and also get transported back to the Victorian era. Everything is laid out for them and secret servants clean up for them - making everything right for love and hot sex.
I think I enjoyed the second half of the book more. I did find the sex started too soon and there could have been more of a build-up of sexual tension, but I suppose that was part of the whole experience for them. The last couple of sex scenes were beautifully written - brilliant, tender, hot and oh so sexy.
A lovely book to read when you're in the mood for some naughty and fun.

I love Christmas, so thought what about little Christmas now. I was enchanted by this short story. The idea just pulled me right in with the couple into their own magical world. Yuletide Enchantment really just left me with a very happy feeling afterwards. Free, well written and truly a enchanting tale of falling in love!!
