Snowed in with the Boss
“Bend over and lift your skirt. I’m going to show you what it’s like to spend Christmas on the naughty list…”
I’m a gentleman in the boardroom and a Dominant in the bedroom. I’ve also been secretly in love with my too-innocent-for-her-own-good executive assistant, Jane, for the better part of two years.
But any woman on my staff is strictly off-limits. Until the night I’m snowed in at the office with Jane…
The same night I discover she’s a submissive looking for a teacher…

Now, we’re both six years older, and my innocent Ivy has become an irresistible woman who’s ready to learn all the wicked things I have to teach her.
Her lesson will begin with a dress, a mask, and an invitation to play with a man who has been watching her from afar…

*4.5 stars*
When this came out I was thrilled to see I’d missed a book in this series! Masquerade with the Master was a wonderful addition, scorching hot and full of the humour and emotion I have come to expect. Good in the winter or the summer it will warm you through and through!
Snowbound with the Billionaire (reviewed in 2017)
Sexy second chance…
I love this author’s ability to blend sexy, scorching heat with strong emotion to make a love cocktail like no other! And in the latest Master Me instalment, Dakota and Garrett meet again, brought together by the very thing that drove them apart…
“Maybe I won’t live through Garrett again, but I’m tired of living without him.”
Going home means so many different things to Dakota, and not everything is a good memory. It seems almost fated that Garrett would be there, plotting and planning, hoping to find new ground between them. A walk down memory lane and a reminder that love endures…
This is a quick read but there is nothing missing in this novella that jumps into rekindled love and passion with both feet first. The only thing I could ask for is… more!
Snowed in with the Boss
Icicle-melting at its best!
”… if this is what it’s like to spend Christmas on the naughty list, then Santa can write my name on that sucker in permanent ink.”
And that goes double for me! Talk about wonderful things in small packages! Ten and Jane’s forced ‘confinement’ allows them free rein to express their inner desires for each other. And those desires are centered on a bit of control (lol – a bit) with a big dollop of heart. This could be the guide book for sexy play as they explore each other’s bodies and minds in a deceptively simple encounter.
This read is sexy and smart but it also had time to showcase the humor and fun that exists between these loving characters. The drier and more sarcastic the humor the more I love it, and this was just that. Throw in heart and emotion behind each sultry exchange and humor-filled quip and this romance was the perfect treat to find in my stocking!
I wanted this story to be much, much longer but I will settle for short, sweet, sexy and fabulous!
Masquerade with the Master
Another winner in the series!
This second-chance romance had Ivy and Edward reconnecting in all ways possible! When the time was right for them, their relationship began in earnest and it was a lesson in loving and love as only this author can write them. It was short, wickedly hot and full of lessons for both the master and his pupil. Packed with emotion and all the sexy, I only wished it had been longer!
*I happily reviewed this book
It’s time to get down and dirty with Lili Valente and her three-novella collection of oh-so-naughty stories that were oh-so-nice to dive into. A Down & Dirty Christmas consists of three standalone shorts, although they’re loosely interconnected by way of a number of recurring characters: Snowbound with the Billionaire (which gets 4.5 stars), Snowed In with the Boss (which receives 3.5 stars), and Masquerade with the Master (which garners four stars). Averaging all three individual ratings, this collection receives an average rating of four stars.
Snowbound with the Billionaire is a second-chance story about reporter Dakota Fleming and hotelier Garrett Lawler the Third. He was her Master and she was his submissive, and they were engaged to be married until distrust broke them apart. Four years later, they end up stuck in the new hotel he’s building in her hometown due to a snowstorm. These two had some angst going on and for good reason, but it never drags the story down, especially with its theme of redemption and moving forward. This was definitely my favorite read in this collection.
Snowed In with the Boss is an office romance about executive assistant Jane Singleton and her billionaire boss, Tennyson. (I think Tennyson is his last name, so I have no clue what his first name is.) Ten knows she’s off-limits, but all it takes is one blizzard that has them staying together past office hours. Ten and Jane have had a thing for each other for nearly the entire time they’ve worked together, so realizing that they share a need for domination and submission, respectively, also allows the two to be more forthcoming with their long-kept feelings for one another.
The last story is Masquerade with the Master, and it’s also a story about second chances. Edward Mulligan knows letting go of Ivy Prescott was the right thing to do six years ago. Enough time has passed and now, Ivy isn’t as naive as she once was, and she more than ready to finally be fully claimed by the only man who will be her Master–Edward. I liked that Ivy held her own and made it known that she wasn’t wholly ready for what Edward was hoping for. This is my second favorite story in A Down & Dirty Christmas.
Snowbound with the Billionaire
Snowbound with the Billionaire is the first novella in the Master Me series. But it is the third written. They can each be read as complete stand-alones. I have read the previous two and seriously…they just keep getting hotter and hotter.
Garrett and Dakota have a past. A dirty, filthy, beautiful past. It’s been four years since the last time they were in each other’s arms. They both made mistakes four years ago but Garrett wants to win her back. She is the only one he has ever loved. He is the only one that made Dakota feel free, adored, and loved. Can one night in an adorable hotel show them they belong together. Dakota knows she can trust him with her body but can she trust him again with her heart?
That’s all I can really say about their story except that it’s extremely sexy, fun, and oh, so naughty! Its not a traditional type of Christmas story but it’s one that I wouldn’t mind re-creating during the holidays. What? It’s a stressful time.
Overall…I just love Lili and her quickie reads.
Quotes:
You’re living a horror movie plot.
Once upon a time, that voice was the soundtrack that played during my hottest erotic adventures.
“Nothing’s ever vanilla with you, Kitten.”
Snowed in with the Boss
I have read and loved all of Lili’s books. I knew this was going to be steamy but damn…it was scorching! This is a complete standalone novella involving an executive assistant and the boss that wants to teach her the ways of a Dom/sub relationship. Well..as much as he can in one night…
Jane has always known that Ten is a gentleman and likes to be in control but had no idea he took that into the bedroom as well. Not until he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. She has been waiting for the perfect man to bring her fantasies to life. Ever since she started reading her romance and erotic books as a teenager. She might seem innocent on the outside but on the inside she wanted to be possessed. Devoured. Wanted. Safe. And she trusts Ten to give her pleasure but can he give her more? One night with him might not be enough.
Ten has secretly been in love with Jane for years. She is sexy in an innocent way and that is why he has stayed away. They are more than employer/employee, they are friends. She is off-limits but when they are snowed in for the night and after learning that she was looking for a teacher, he knew he couldn’t let her go. This was his chance to show her that he was the man for the job. The only man to turn her fantasies into a reality.
I love that Ten makes Jane feel beautiful. She thinks she is a plain Jane but he doesn’t see that. He sees her natural beauty. He doesn’t want to change her, he wants to give her everything. But what will happen when morning comes?
Overall…it’s one hot fucking night that neither of them will ever forget. It’s a fast read filled with naughtiness and beauty.
Quotes:
Until right now, I had no idea how good it could feel to be bad.
“Anything you want, sir. Torture me, pleasure me—it all feels perfect with you.”
“I want to be sure you remember every second of this.”
Masquerade with the Master
Masquerade with the Master is the second book in the Master Me novella series. It can 100% be read as a standalone. Edward was talked about briefly in Snowed in with the Boss and Ivy works for Ten but not mentioned. There was a sneak peek of this book at the end of the first book so I was excited that we didn’t have to wait long for it.
Six years. That is how long it’s been since Edward walked away from the only person he has ever loved. She wasn’t ready for him then but he is ready to prove to her that they belong together now. He has been watching over her for the last six years and he doesn’t want to wait any longer to have her but if he has to, he will. That is how much he cares for her. But does she still want him? He is hoping tonight will be the night to show her the pleasure and love that she deserves. It’s time to put a mask on and play…
One letter from him brings her butterflies. This is why she needs to keep her wall up. She will meet him at the Venus Ball but she will have ground rules set. She will live out her fantasy once more but only for one night. She can not fall for him again. And that brings her to one of her hard limits: no talking about the past. It will be easy for her to submit to him but it’s a whole new level to talk to him about her feelings. Especially towards the only man that can truly bring her to her knees…
This is seriously one fucking hot book. It’s not only hot but there is a wonderful story as well. I loved Edward and Ivy. They are sexy, inventive, and funny too. They didn’t just spark but they were on fire with each other.
Overall…it was a fast read that was sinfully sexy!
P.S I will not look at statues the same way again.
Quotes:
“I’m prepared to give you my submission,” I continue, needing to get the words out before it’s too late. “But that’s the only thing on the table. Please don’t forget that.”
“This is Wonderland with sex, Edward. Through the Looking Glass with more voyeurism and toys.”
“Your orgasms are works of art, and you know I’m a collector.”
“You do have an eye for art.”
This is a collection of 3 interconnected BDSM Romance Novellas.
Book 1: Snowbound with the Billionaire- A second chance romance set in a little town in West Virginia. Dakota returns to town and faces memories from her abusive childhood to get the story on the good Samaritan investing in and revitalizing the run down town only to discover that it is her former fiance pouring money into the town. Forced to be together, they reconnect physically and emotionally. Forgiveness must be given and trust must be earned for them to move forward and get their HEA.
Book 2: Snowed in With The Boss- This is a friends to lovers/boss-employee/ interoffice romance. Snowed in at the office, Tennyson offers to help Jane with her desire to learn the BDSM lifestyle after discovering her personal emails on his company server. As they explore their physical connection through domination and submission, they also come to terms with deeper emotions they have been burying for a long time.
Book 3: Masquerade with the Master- A second chance romance set primarily at a BDSM Masquerade gala. Edward has been looking after Ivy, even in the years they were apart and offers to escort her to the gala where he will be her master for the evening. As they reconnect and push limits as they forgive for past mistakes and move forward.
All of these books have hot, explicit scenes between the characters. The romantic evolution of the couples are what I expected form novella length books. I loved the respect shown to the submissive partner and the caring and love evident in the scenes. I always really appreciate the clear mutual consent between the parties in BDSM romance and these all have that. A naughty holiday collection worth reading available in KU.
I absolutely love this anthology of 3 of my favorite Lili books! (Wait, aren’t ALL Lili books my favorite Lili books? It’s true.)
I think being snowed in with an unexpected partner is one of my favorite tropes of all time. Also, alphas who call their girls “Kitten.” 😉
These books are all SUPER hot, sweet, and will definitely keep you warm on a snowy winter night!!!
Off to read them again!!
