Upon a Midnight Clear

by Samara King

Carter James was the only present Drea Michaels wanted to unwrap this Christmas. She has only a few steamy nights to seduce the man she's loved for years. Drea will have to play dirty if she wants to break Carter's relationship rules: No dating friends. What good are rules, if they can't be broken? Carter has resisted every temptation imaginable since meeting curvaceous Drea. He's not the kind of man who believes in forever, but when Drea pushes him past his sexual restraints, one touch may not be enough!

Reviews

[Vivian · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too predictable. Too much of main MCs talking to side characters, instead of each other. They want each other, but he has rules of not wanting to hurt her.
There's a scene where they're deeply intimate, he says something to make them argue. They stop midway through. She gets off him, and leaves. That's what got the 2 star rating.
To each their own.
