There's no greater hell than working retail in December.
Having completed a highly competitive marketing internship in New York City, Elise thought she could handle anything life had to throw at her--until the internship didn't lead to a job. Savings depleted, she abandoned one of the most expensive cities in the world to move back in with her parents in small town Middle of Nowheresville. Needing to replenish her bank account, she applied to the only place hiring: Bennington's Department Store.
She just didn't realize that working at the big box retailer full-time during the Christmas season would bring her within an inch of her sanity.
Enter Jack. Tall, rugged, handsome. Sweet. Funny. Kind of a flirt. Divorced dad on the hunt for a very specific, ridiculously popular Miss Molly doll that Santa will deliver to his little angel on Christmas Eve. He quickly becomes a regular in Elise's toy department, juggling his crazy work schedule with his quest to find the perfect gift. And Elise is determined to make his Christmas wish come true, one way or another.
Little do either of them realize, what they both need for Christmas this year--is each other.
Holiday Hell is classified as a one-shot erotic short, and is humorous, snarky, relatable, and just a little bit steamy. It is a complete story that includes a HFN and a sweet romance with a dash of all-spice for the holiday season.

"There's no greater hell than working retail in December." Truer words were never spoken! Having been in Elise's shoes, I could feel her pull your hair out frustration with her job. And let me just say that while her work day woes may seem over the top for dramatic purpose, they are not. Working in a toy department at Christmas is a whole bag of crazy and then some. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't have the sweet and sexy that is Jack to visit me while on his quest for the latest 'must-have' toy.
From my having been there perspective, I can look back with a laugh, and I certainly did plenty of that with Holiday Hell. Elise's inner dialogue had me laughing out loud more than once and her snark is great. Of course, Liz Meldon doesn't stop at funny. We get a bit of steamy goodness to go with our humor. Each time Elise and Jack meet, the attraction builds, and even though I could easily guess where the story was going, I still thoroughly enjoyed getting there. Although, I do have to say that I wasn't expecting the location for this pair's holiday stress relief, which only added to the fun!
Easily read in one sitting, this one is perfect for a quick midday or bedtime read to add a bit of levity to the busy holiday season.

This little quote is pretty perfect for this book because that is exactly what happened to this reader - in the dentist's office. (Of course, who couldn't use a laugh at the dentist's office?). I won't give away the scene, but I challenge you to read this one, reach the part about the twin tornadoes, and see if it doesn't at least inspire a chuckle.
