The miraculous ‘Weeping Babe of Brooklyn’ goes missing, Sam gets a call, and my vacation goes straight to hell.“Whoa, now little darlin’, you may have work but I have vacation. Not having a day off all year makes a man want some downtime.”“What about Sam and Suds Detective Agency?”“It’s Suds and Sam. And, it isn’t legal, not yet. We need licenses, a building, business cards…”“Don’t be so … cards…”
“Don’t be so negative. I got a website. C’mon. It’ll be fun. Besides, after, we can have a we-solved-the-case sleepover.”
Warning: Heated scenes and loads of laughs as this detective duo makes the season bright.

Sam and Suds are on the case of the crying Jesus baby and they investigate and find out that there is the only person who would have a reason to take it from the church. They have fallen in love and want to get married but Sam is not your regular young woman ready to do marriage anyway but her own. But her Christmas gift is beyond her wildest dreams, so is Suds something that touches him in a way no one has or could. I purchased this book. I volunteered for an honest review.
What a fun read! Funny. Quirky. Mystery. Steam. Fun characters. Very entertaining! I get easily bored with repeating characters in a series. But these two are so much fun, I hope to read more!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
If you love Suds and Sam as much as I do, this is a marvelous quick fix when your jonesing. You get the action, giggles, and body melting passion that I’ve become addicted to by this phenomenal writer and the world she creates.
A Suds and Sam Christmas
By: Stella Marie Alden
Narrated by: Simone Gayuma
We always have the Christmas spirit at my house, so I love to sprinkle in Christmas stories through the year. It’s March, it’s warm, and it’s a good time to listen to one! Suds and Sam run a detective agency and their case is to find the missing weeping Jesus. These two are hilariously funny and the banter will leave you in stitches. At the same time, the steam factor is high, so when we aren’t laughing or searching for the statue, there is lots of passion! It’s quick and will leave you in the spirit of the season, even in March!
The choice of Simone Gayuma is spot on! She nails the Brooklyn accent and has great comedic timing. A joy to listen to her!

A well written humourous quick holiday adventure. This short engaging storyline of these two while they are moving forward in their joint PI business. It is truly hilarious as they go from New York, to Boston, to Rome and back home to New York in the Hope’s to find a missing baby Jesus statue. The characters are well developed, interesting and have a quite steamy adventure. The narration was wonderfully done really adding to the adventure.
I love Stella Marie Alden’s books and this was a great short Christmas story with characters we love. It was somewhat confusing at first but it was funny and sexy. I listened to the audio book and I only wish it would have been narrated by both a male and female to get the full experience. Although the narrator did a great job with voices and inflections.
Laugh Out Loud Christmas cheer!
I loved this Christmas installment of Suds and Sam! Enjoyed their banter and their amazing chemistry right from the beginning and this book is no different. You get more of Sam’s quirkiness and Suds’ yumminess. I cant wait for Stella’s next book and see what these guys are up to next. The narrator of the audiobook did a great job and was super easy to follow along with her. Definitely a must read, must listen read you dont want to miss out on.
I loved it ! Suds and Sam spend Thanksgiving with her family. Samantha gets her next “case”, a missing weeping baby Jesus. A great storyline. Suds and Sam have that chemistry it takes to make a great relationship. The side characters have good chemistry along side the main characters. I could read this series for a verry….looong time….Looking forward to the next book in the series ! I highly recommend this book!! I read this book through an arc program and this is my own honest opinion. Happy Thanksgiving !!!!
We meet back up with our wonderful duo and get to see more of their antics. Sam has me laughing with her humor and spontaneity. Suds is forever the alpha joking male that you just love. Of course the story is extremely well written and with a beautiful flow to the story. It is a kick read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. They have so much chemistry that it is felt throughout the story. I love these two together and they do not disappoint. You will continue to fall in love with them and Sam’s amazing family. This one holiday story that is not to be missed.
How appropriate that Sebastian, Suds, and Samantha, Sam, take on a new case involving a nativity scene just before Christmas. With their new case, they’re in search of the weeping baby Jesus! Sleeping? No, weeping! This baby Jesus statue, that’s thought to have magical properties, is taken from the church right before Christmas and Suds and Sam are tasked with finding it/him. These crazy partners are trying to make a go of their new PI service. Issues from their past escapades come up once again and they have a most hilarious way of approaching their work. If it weren’t for Sam’s obnoxious family, there wouldn’t be as much eye rolling and head shaking going on. What a fun read and these two characters are just that, characters!! I expect more enjoyment on its way with Suds and Sam!
3.5 Star
This was a quick fun read here we see where Sam and Suds are at now and also get another case to be solved. I felt that the theft was solved and sorted out fairly easy and was a bit anticlimactic and it wasn’t really Sam and Suds who solved it. In saying that it was fun to see where they are at and whats next for them after Sud’s surprises Sam.
I am so hooked, is it possible for the books to get better and the characters to become more amazing? This author has created a tall order to follow for sequel books with Sam and Suds. These two characters make for some seriously entertaining reading. In this book not only do Sam and Suds have another case to solve, it is the holiday season and of course family events are on the list. It was great to read more about this couple and see that they are still up to no good and keeping it fun!
My only caution on these books, is if you are a shy or self conscious person, you may want to refrain from reading these in public as you will be laughing out loud and talking to your reader as you read…..or maybe that is just me. 🙂 Anyhow, I highly recommend not only this series but this author in general.
I received a free book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the opportunity Stella, keep writing!
Suds and Sam celebrate the holiday as only they can, on the case and having some sexy fun. I love the way these two put each other’s needs before their own. I love practical gifts as well. This is was great, fun, witty, sexy holiday read.
I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
This Christmas quickly is perfect for both the holiday season and for this series. This was a fun way to get more story from these characters and to get in the upcoming holiday spirit. I loved the dialogue, this author knows how to make me swoon and laugh at the same time; and the characters are just as intriguing as in book one. While this book was shorter is doesn’t lack for anything and is a great addition. If you are new to this series this might give you a little insight into this world and these characters, but I don recommend you reading book one first. I received an ARC and am leaving an honest review.
Sebastian is roped into helping Sam solve another case. The duo is on the hunt for the church’s missing miracle baby Jesus. While trying to figure out the mystery Sebastian must also deal with Sam’s intrusive & overly-involved family while trying to reign in his nightly PTSD episodes. A great holiday read that shows just how much these two need and love each other.

This is a another wonderful story with our quirky PI duo, Suds and Sam. Their relationship is rolling along smoothly and their chemistry is sizzling hot. They are soon on another misson to track down a statue stolen from the church right before Christmas. The banter between Sebastian and Sam is really enjoyable, they had me laughing out loud.
This book is a follow on to suds and Sam with a Xmas vibe. Suds is still dealing with his past at the same time trying to make the right choice for the woman in his life. Sam he’ll bent on her detective business takes on a new case with a healthy dose of her family joining in the fun. A great read , only adding life to this couple’s journey.
I thought this entertaining book was a pure joy to read. Offering up a brilliant blend of humor, heat and holiday charm, Seb and Sam’s Christmas caper was a real treat. The well written story also has some mystery, drama and emotional turmoil for added interest and flavor. A wonderful read that will put a smile on your face, melt your heart and help get you in the holiday spirit.
I was totally glued to my kindle with the great storyline and wonderful characters from the very beginning! Suds and Sam was a very likable, believable and engaging couple which made this book a real page turner!
Delightfully sweet, steamy and action-packed
A Suds and Sam Christmas by Stella Marie Alden is an exciting novella action packed with Sam’s antics of solving crimes, Suds’ super hot seduction and the romantic comedy that is just Suds and Sam together.
The plot/sub plots of this novella is equally shared by missing baby Jesus, Suds’ determination to get healthy to make Sam his and their shared goal for their future. Suds continues to live up to heartthrob hero as he prepares, makes plans and arranges for Sam’ Christmas gift. It’s a doozy and I absolutely love it for Sam!
Overall, a very well written holiday novella that made me laugh out loud and fall even more in love with this couple. Even better, the holiday season is all wrapped up in everything about this one. But, best of all, this extra HEA is not to be missed.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
