We met James before in “Lost and Found” and I’ve always been curious about him and hopeful that one day he would get his happily ever after as well and who knew his predestined forever woman would be Gigi!?
These two have been subconsciously circulating each other and how they felt towards one another since meeting years ago… James being aloof and cold towards Gigi because she was more younger than him and his best friend and partner’s younger and that made him act indifferent towards her even though he felt the same pull as she did.
Gigi,this girl only wants unconditional love and people don’t really understand how she is and her personality but once James gets his head out of his rear and FINALLY decides to claim her makes her realize that wants her just the way she is <3
This is a short Christmas read with all the right feels and you won't regret reading this author, K.L. Donn's latest story at all 😉
Fast and fun! James has had it bad for Georgina since he first met her when she was just 18. But she’s the little sister of his best friend and partner, so he’s a big jerk to her, masking his feelings with impatience and bad attitude. But then he’s roped into playing Santa, and ends up snowed in at Georgina’s place, he realizes this delicate beauty has been hurt enough in her life and he cannot contribute to it any longer, no matter the consequences. Georgina has been trying to get over her feelings for James ever since she met him, and can hardly believe when after so long he professes to feel the same. Christmas comes early for these two, and we get get a wonderful story out of it!
This was a really nice short story and we got to see how Gigi got her happy ending. It was funny, sweet, and to the point.
A short and sweet Christmas novelette with quite of bit of steam. I really loved the chemistry between Gigi and James. James has been a bit of a jerk to her, but fighting his feelings and knowing he could not go there with his partner’s sister was really difficult for him. And poor Gigi, due to her ADHD she has been hurt so much. And it is so much worse when it comes from James, especially since she’s been crushing on him for years. When James finally comes to the realization that he has truly hurt her, his true feelings for her emerges and the steam is on.
This was a great holiday treat.
I was lucky enough to have learned about KL Donn through another author, and have been pre-ordering and one-clicking her books since then.
James and Gigi’s story – James, who Gigi felt was like the Grinch for always showing her his bad side, was actually hiding the fact that he had feelings for his partner’s sister. Gigi, who always felt unwanted because of ADHD. It took a snowstorm for them to learn that not all was as it seemed, and that they had a chance at happiness.
Lucky Christmas was a sweet, short amusing read for me, and I will definitely be looking forward to the rest of KL Donn’s work. Starting NOW.
This was my first by KL donn but definitely not my last. It is a short, steamy, sexy, sassy and sweet story that will have you hooked. It is part of her Possessed series but you do not need to read them first but trust me, after reading this you will want to read the others. This story has a bit of humor, a little break your heart and a lot of sexiness. Very enjoyable just a bit short. Of course, I know there will be more to come and now you are hooked. This was a cute Christmas story. James and Gigi have been crushing each other for years without each others knowledge. Finally, they get their HEA (or do they?) I am leaving that up in the open. Read it to find out. Just be prepared for the journey.
It has adult language and sexy scenes so 18+ audience but it does not take anything away from the story. Recommend.
James and Gigi are absolutely to die for. Misunderstood and often overlooked Gigi just wants to be loved and James is oh so happy to step up to the plate. These two have chemistry off the charts and KLs ability to make you feel the emotion is uncanny. It was great to see Pepper again as per usual this does secondary characters never cease to be amazing. This sort and sweet novella will make you wish it never ended. I would highly recommend this book!!!
This is a short, sweet Christmas novella that will put you in the Christmas mood. Lucky Christmas is book four in the Possessed series it can be read as a standalone, which is a good thing since this is the first book I have read so far in said series.
James Wallace is a cop and Georgina “Gigi” Grant is his partners’ sister. Both have been hiding their true feelings for each other for years! James gets tricked into playing Santa and an event where Gigi is playing the elf. Long story short…they get snowed in and both will get a lucky Christmas! This book has a really good mix of “naughty and nice”.
Love it. A quick inspirational read I love the grinch and elf so much. I want more.
The Story of James and Gigi was yet another Smashing good tale by the Fabulous K.L Donn and was a great addition to the series we all love ( or at least I do.. if you haven’t read it yet check it out quick! ) it was a another warm goodie of a read and I though it a great.
I have to admit, Christmas is NOT my favorite holiday. I’m more like the Grinch that’s all “hate, hate, hate, LOATHE entirely,” whenever December starts to roll around. There is one thing I like about this holiday though…. the Christmas novellas! The perfect thing to get you from Grinch to a Who from Whoville is a short, sweet read with ALLLLL the feels.
KL Donn delivers!
Although this is part of the “Possessed” series, you don’t need to read it to understand this book… though you really should. I admit, I didn’t read book three so was slightly confused because I kept thinking “Wait… do I know these people?” This, of course, made me go buy the third in the series once I realized I didn’t know them and I absolutely needed to!
On to the characters.
James is an alpha-ahole denying his feelings for the woman who matters more than anything in the world to him, Georgina. The problem? Gigi is his partner’s younger sister which puts her in the “TOTALLY OFF LIMITS ” box. So, like any male with pent up emotions, he turns into a total d— you get the picture.
Gigi is a sweet young woman with the biggest crush on the man who seems to continually hurt her. Even though he’s rude and sometimes cruel, she can’t get him off her mind. She works hard to move past him, because she’s not a doormat hello, but it doesn’t help she sees him everywhere. When he shows up at her door dressed like Santa and ranting and raving? Oh HECK no.
One thing about KL, she can give you sweet and fierce all in the same heroine. Heroines that are trying to over come hardships, and sometimes those hardships are darker than expected (this one isn’t dark!!!), they continually fight. Just because the man they’ve loved from afar walks into their homes and says “Sorry” doesn’t mean they’re forgiven…
This was one of my favorite Christmas novellas EVER. (Maybe because of the Grinch reference? He’s my fave.) It’s a sit-down-can’t-put-it-down kind of read. A read in a day (or an hour if you’re psycho like me) kind of read. One that leaves you PANTING for more. Is it fast? Yes. Is it too short? Duh. Is it worth the five stars? And then some.
Lucky Christmas is short but sweet very steamy holiday novella sure to get you in the mood for Christmas!
James Wallace doesn’t enjoy the holidays, so when his friend and partner talks him into playing Santa for a local kid’s club holiday party, he is less than thrilled. Things go from bad to worse when he arrived ready to go only to find out the party was cancelled and he is now snowed in with the woman who was supposed to play the part of his elf.
Georgina “Gigi” Grant wants nothing more than to be lucky in love, but she knows her quirky personality isn’t what most men are looking for. She’s completely unprepared for the grumpy Santa that shows up at her door, but when the snow starts to fall, the heat starts to rise. Once James takes Gig in his arms, maybe they’ll both find they are lucky in love this Christmas!
What I loved most about this novella was that James and Gigi had both secretly had crushes on each other for years, but never acted on them. Being younger than him, James felt Gig was off limits. Her cute but quirky personality can also be seen as off-putting to those that don’t understand her. I loved that being forced to unexpectedly spend time together let James see Gigi for who she truly is so that he could fall hard and fast for her and give them both the holiday HEA they deserve. 4 stars!
This was such a cute Christmas read! It was short, but it was great so I could finish it during a break at work. James and Gigi were a great match, and I loved the grinch aspect. It was different from most other Christmas stories. I do wish that Gigi would have made him work harder, it felt like she gave in too easily. But you’ll have to read it and decide for yourself!! I highly recommend you read this book, and then go read the previous books in the possessed series! You won’t regret it!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and KL has given us a little something something to keep us warm. This novella is just what I needed to make me remember what Christmas was all about!! James and Gigi both have crushes on the other but neither makes a move until it’s taken out of their hands. When they come together it’s explosive and out of control. They are a match made in heaven and the spirit of Christmas is alive in this book with hope, dreams and everything in between. You’ll love this book cause I know I did!!!!!
Five Jojojo – stars! Such a perfect read for Xmas time!
Jojojo! Wow! K.L. Donn never stops to surprise me. She has done it again. Lucky Christmas is a stunning addition to The Possession Series. It has all the feels for a read on the Christmas time. It is an intense and beautiful masterpiece wrapped with hope, love, strong feelings and it is perfectly set on the Christmas season. Such a wonderful combination because who doesn’t love Christmas and reading a good book.
This book is a cosy and steamy journey where the main characters expose their true feelings and surrender themselves to the attraction they felt since they met. A snowy day will testify the passion and love of the lovers. The temptation to fall in each other arms will erase any line drawn because some stupid rule. James and Gigi meant to be together since the beginning but they lost time and now it time to recover everything. Because love comes in any form and can’t be denied for long.
I spent a good time while reading this book. I devoured each page like a ravenous book addict. I kept turning pages until the last chapter. The story inside the pages of this masterpiece was incredible addictive and so good. I didn’t want to finish it but all the good things have an end. It amazed me how easy and smooth was my reading. There is so much passion and love that made me drool over my seat. I had a dreamy face all over this week! My heart ached a bit because of Gigi but it recovered as soon as James claimed her as his woman. This couple gave all the feels and so much hope about love.
Thanks K.L. Donn for this wonderful book. I highly recommend it! It deserves each of the five stars I gave as rating.
Wow this book was amazingly written. Once I started I couldn’t put it down till I was finished. This book has twists and turns you don’t know what’s happening. will they all get there happily ever after or will it all go wrong. To find out what happens go buy the book. You won’t be disappointed I wasn’t.
If you are looking for a quick read with lots of steam this is the read for you! I really enjoyed James and Gigi and the connection they shared.

>-< >–< >–< >–< >–<>–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< >–< What I liked/Didn’t Like: This is James and Gigia’s Story. It is a bit of a taboo romance too. Well written with a lot of things going on but it all makes sense.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have a weakness for super sweet, insta-love romance stories. This will be one of those books that I keep on stand-by for those days when I need to just sit back and get lost in a book that has zero amount of angst and will cause my brain to turn into mush. Actually, KL Donn has two books in that list now. This one, and another called, Safe, In His Arms.
This woman is a fierce writer. She gives us crazy sexy with her MFMs, super sweet with a side of extra toothpaste with books like this, and then tosses us into the dark side without a flashlight with some of her more…angsty books. Did you know she even has an MMF book in there somewhere?
What I love about this book is that it brings awareness to ADHD. I read a lot of books that bring awareness to mental illness. It’s one of my favorites. ADHD is bypassed most of the time. My son has it and I know how hard it is on the individual. How different they feel and act from everyone else. Definitely love that she did this.
So, get some hot coco, turn on your Christmas Tree lights, grab a comfy blanket, curl up in your favorite reading place and get to reading. It’s a short read. But, it’s a beautiful one!
Well I will be looking under my tree for a man like this, oh please I have been naughty enough, this was a really appreciated story and I love rude and vicious men transforming in good awesome boys, my man would say oh please am a servant…. well Christmas surprise naughty is sensational….. read and enjoy ur grinch man changing in what u would pay for having beside under the covers…. Sometimes being bad is just what u need for an extraordinary Christmas….
