I love this series! And I love everything about James and Gigi’s story. Everyone deserves a Merry Christmas and when James finds out that Gigi has been let down this Christmas he hopes that he will get lucky enough to be the one to give her that Merry Christmas. Gigi never thought that she would ever have a chance with her brother’s sexy partner James, especially since whenever they’re around each other he seems so annoyed. Her ADHD has given her some insecurities that are hard to overcome. But when James comes nocking on his door and taking what he has wanted they definitely both get a Very Lucky Christmas!
I absolutely adored this book! So excited that james got his hea!!
This is a super quick novella read that packs quite a super steamy punch and it’s a such an amazing Christmas read. I don’t want to give any spoilers away but I adore how possessive James gets with Gigi. I hated how everyone always treated Gigi like there’s something wrong with her just because she has ADHD. James never realized that him trying to stay away from her, she always thought he,too, felt the same way the other felt as well. James is determined to show Gigi that isn’t true and he’s going to give them both a “Lucky Christmas” that they soon won’t forget.
What a sizzling, sweet, sassy, fierce, moving novella that will have the reader rooting for Gigi and James.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
I loved the latest from KL Donn! While this is a quick read it is definitely full of all the things that make her books amazing, the heat, the chemistry, amazing characters and some funny moments. Gigi and James have known each other for while, but both denied the pull they felt because of the connection they both have, in different ways, to her brother. Yet one snow storm changes everything in huge ways for them both.
This was so sweet! I loved it! James and Gigi were so perfect. I also loved how we got to check up on Pepper, Nate, and Ace. This was the perfect short Christmas story!
Short, hot and a Merry Christmas!!! These two are explosive together, and it doesn’t take long for them to get there HEA.
Sweet and funny, naughty and cute, it was awesome and I loved it! I could not put it down till I finished it and now I can’t wait for more books from this awesome author! The story is written and paced well, and was a satisfying read. I recommend it!
this holiday read is short, but or so sweet, with just enough heat to keep you warm at night.
A thoroughly enjoyable short story that filled me with happiness.
James is more of a Grinch then Santa. Too bad his partner and best friend roped him into playing Santa for his little sister at her job, the girl that is off limits, Gigi. It has been easier to act like she annoys him so he can keep his feelings a secret. All that changes when he finds out her boyfriend dumped her and he sees how much that and James’ treatment of her have beaten her down. Will Gigi trust that his change of heart is for real?
Oh my gosh, I absolutely adore K.L. Donn and Lucky Christmas gave me all the holiday feels! Gigi and what she has gone through just put a lump in my throat. She is so sweet and caring and keeps getting kicked in the teeth. Once James really looked at Gigi and how his and others treatment has affected her, he goes all in. He was just a doll to her and Gigi just blossomed. I read this in one sitting and it deserves more than 5 stars! Ten stars for Lucky Christmas!
OMG What an amazing story. James and Gigi I just love them both. KL Donn has another winner on her hands, Once you start you won’t be able to put the book down, James and Gigi have so much chemistry, passion and love for each other they just have to do something about it. A great book to curl up with in front of the fire for a romantic Love Story. 5 well earned STARS.
Loved this book. Great quick read
Such a sweet story about acceptance and forgiveness.
An absolutely delightful read. I loved how the characters got the time work things out between them. They were so well matched. Their chemistry sizzled. The plot flowed well and the storyline was entertaining. The epilogue was lovely. A fantastic addition to the series. Highly recommended.
I loved this quick read. It was good to see Pepper and her boys again. James was kind of a jerk to Gigi,but quickly redeemed himself. I thought the insight to ADHD was handled quite well. I know it’s a novelette, but still too short, I always wish for her stories to be longer.
4 star review of Lucky Christmas: A Novelette (The Possessed Series Book 4) by KL Donn
KL Donn is a new author to me. I have not read any of her books and although this is book 4 I had no problem reading Lucky Christmas as a stand alone.
James is a bit of a Grinch where as Gigi would be an Elf, two totally opposite views, but ones that came together to make a Merry Christmas.
This was a really fast, quick and smoking hot read which I enjoyed. James and Gigi tugged at my hear from the start and I was invested in them getting their happily ever after. I will say I thought the sudden turn around by James was a tad fast, but since he has had feelings for Gigi for quite some time is was explained away easily enough; it did not detract from my enjoyment at all.
My heart just about broke for Gigi at times as she admitted how alone she often feels. James learns that her boyfriend has dumped her and decides the time is right and makes his move. I felt such empathy for Gigi as she felt as though her true dreams could never come true because she is such an annoying nuisance to those around her.
I loved that James realised that in trying to keep his distance and his true feelings form Gigi he had actually caused her pain. It was great to see him take responsibility and commit to doing better in the future.
Lucky Christmas is the story of James and Gigi. We meet them in one of the author’s first books and I was so glad that we got to take a journey back into the Possessed world.
James and Gigi have known each other for years. She’s his partner’s little sister, so she immediately gets thrown into the no go box. Years of angst between the two and their closest friends and family putting them together in a snow storm leads to our story.
I absolutely adore the stories KL comes up with. My only complaint, which seems to be recurring is how short her stories have become. This is a novella, so it’s to be expected. And the ending is perfection.
I loved this steamy little Christmas book. It’s short, sweet and super hot.
James Wallace fell in love with Gigi (Georgina Grant) the first time he saw her but she was his partner’s little sister which really grated his nerves.
They had the misfortune of being snowed in when James went by to pick Gigi up for a Santa meet and greet where he was Santa and she was his elf. Things happened and James spilled his feelings for her and she did the same. Seems they were both into the other from first sight. Needless to say the 3 days they were snowed in at her place were spent getting to know each other in the biblical way 😉
This book will make you smile and believe in the magic of Christmas all over again, (big sigh)
This book was a good story.
I was impressed by the story plot.
This booked flowed well.
The MC we’re relatable it was nice
To see what happens to the Characters.
Overall this book was a good
This Author has a great writing abilities
This book was nice way to escape for awhile.
This maybe a super quick read but that doesn’t mean this novelette doesn’t pack a mighty punch it’s a great Christmas read. James is normally more of a grinch than Santa but that’s all about to change when he agrees to help a friends sister out. Gigi isn’t perfect she is always sad around this time of year and she has ADHD but that doesn’t stop her trying to work the magic of Christmas and I have to say I loved how protective James became of her even though he knew she should be off limits……
I understand Gigi and James are characters from previous books but I haven’t read the previous books in this series so I’m really proof that this quick read can be read as a stand-alone. This Christmas story featuring The Grinch and The Elf will give you all the right feels and it certainly left me wanting to back track and read the rest of this series.
Holy cow, I love how possessive James gets with Gigi. Everyone always treats Gigi like there’s something wrong with her just because she has ADHD and James never realized that him trying to stay away from her, she always thought he felt that way too. James is determined to show her that’s not true and he intends to give them both a “Lucky Christmas” . Grab this wonderful story today, you won’t be disappointed.
