This Christmas Eve, Sadie’s determined to stay on the Nice List by helping to save Christmas… but no one said she couldn’t have some naughty fun along the way!Stranded in the city on Christmas Eve when all I want is to go home and be with my family, it was shaping up to be the worst Christmas ever.That is until a sleigh crashed in the dingy parking lot behind my building. But it wasn’t Santa … building. But it wasn’t Santa stumbling out of the wreckage – don’t be silly! It was three magical Christmas elves.
These elves were not the cute, short, pointy-eared creatures I’d always imagined. El, Tin and Max were tall, charming and, under their elaborate green coats, muscled and gorgeous.
When they begged me to help them find some Christmas cheer to recharge their sleigh so countless children wouldn’t wake up disappointed on Christmas Day, how could I say no?
But with only a few hours until midnight, I wasn’t sure we could get the sleigh moving in time – especially if my naughty new friends kept distracting me with flirtatious looks and stolen kisses.
**This is a reverse harem Christmas romance with a dash of magic, a pinch of adventure and a heaping of heart!

What a fun and sexy Christmas story! I’m a sucker for Christmas stories, and this one didn’t disappoint. With a fresh new twist on the usual story, this one is jam-packed with Christmassy references and characters, loads of witty one liners and steamy scenes that are scorching hot! I mean, three super gorgeous elves trying to find Christmas cheer… how could things not get steamy?! I absolutely loved it.
Sometimes being naughty might get you on the nice list!! This book was exactly what I needed a riskier version of a Christmas romance. The authors imagination seems to know no bounds and I love it!!
Sadie gets what most women can only dream of… reverse harem. Three gorgeous elves find themselves lost and in need of help. With humor, magic, and spice the four of them are about to have an adventure of a life time.
This year I did ask Santa for three elves under my tree!!
This was a cute and sexy reverse harem story that had me smiling the whole time I was reading. I couldn’t put it down. It was exciting!
It Started With a Sleigh is a fun holiday read. Sadie is not having a great Christmas Eve. What can go wrong is going wrong for her until three sexy elves crash near her. It has fun and times I was laughing out loud. El, Tin, and Max are the three sexy elves. I was smiling and may have laughed a little when they were saying how they got their elf names. Sadie needs to help them find Christmas cheer to power their sleigh. In search of cheer, there are some steamy parts. I was so hoping that this was just not a fling and that they all would find happy ever after.
Adorable and Oh-So Naughty! I loved this book! I haven’t ever read a Reverse Harem Christmas story and I was intrigued – I am so glad I read this story! Do yourself a favor and read this one! FIVE STARS!
I love Christmas romances so It Started With A Sleigh was always going to be on my radar and this steamy magical fairytale really put me in the mood for the holiday season. This reverse harem that involved three hot elves certainly added some heat to this magical time of year.
Sadie is a woman after my own heart, she loves Christmas but when her car breaks down on the way to visiting her family she fears Christmas may be cancelled. While wondering what to do next a loud bang gets her attention and that’s when her night takes a crazy turn and the fun and games begin…
If you love steamy romances and Christmas look no further than It Started With A Sleigh, it’s hot, it’s entertaining and it’s fun. This book is just what the doctor ordered as some of us find ourselves struggling to find some Christmas cheer, this book will certainly put you in the mood for this magical season. Kaydence Snow did a wonderful job with this magical tale.
I loved this holiday RH! I picked up this book because someone said it was “like a dirty Hallmark movie” and I needed that in my life. It was a perfect balance of sweetness, steam, and holiday magic with elves and a snow globe.
Sadie’s Christmas starts off horrible, but three sexy elves crashed and they need her help to save Christmas. Sadie was a realistic and likeable character. She has a kind heart, funny personality, and is a hard worker, but she still isn’t where she wants to be in life and is settling for comfort and what she knows. I don’t think I can choose a favorite out of the guys, but I feel like Tin had the most holiday spirit since he loves every Christmas movie and song. The guys each had different backstories that were heartbreaking, but in the end it got them where they were supposed to be. I wish we would’ve seen more of Monica because I loved her friendship with Sadie.
This book had some holiday puns, cheesy lines, and a great lesson about the true spirit of Christmas. I really enjoyed reading her version of Elves, elves, Santa, and the North Pole. I also thought the encounters with Christmas beings added a magical element to the story. I’d love for Kaydence to write another book or possibly a novella to check back in with Sadie and the guys or possibly another holiday story with new characters.
4 star Review It Started With A Sleigh by Kaydence Snow
Not only is Kaydence Snow a new author to me but thins is also one of only a few Reverse Harem books that I have read. This is Sadie, El, Tin and Max’s holiday story and it was a steamy and quick read.
Sadie is having a bad day, it’s Christmas Eve and thanks to fate she cannot make it home to spend it with her family. When a sleigh with three hot elves crash lands near her they ask for her help to save Christmas.
Will they be able to restore the holiday cheer and save Christmas? This was a fun, light hearted, smoking hot adventure that made me smile and certainly got me in the holiday spirit.
This is an adorable and lighthearted story that’s sure to put you in the Christmas mood! El, Tin and Max are the elves most girls hope Santa delivers under their tree with a big red bow wrapped strategically. Sadie is temporarily in need of reminding of what Christmas is all about. These four manage to get in the Christmas spirit, experience a touch of magic, and make a little of it on their own. Set up your tree, grab a cup of minty hot cocoa and blanket and cuddle up for this quick holiday read!
This Christmas novella even managed to convince a Christmas grinch like me that Christmassy things can actually be fun.
I was all about the christmas tradition and spirit, the development of the relationship between the characters, hell, to me this book had something magic on its own because nobody ever made me look forward to Christmas ever. Well, good work Kaydence Snow, the North Pole can expect my résumé. I want to be an elf too!
It Started With A Sleigh was my first romance read by Kaydence Snow and hot dang it will not be my last!
This book is a quirky, yet sexy, stupid hot, naughty, Christmas romance read and I loved it. Tin, El and Max are sexy, muscular, hot as cocoa, elves! Yup, you read that correctly – they are Santa’s sexy little helpers and they spread good will like it’s going out of style!
The lucky recipient of that extra special goodwill is Sadie, a sweet, hardworking, Christmas loving, woman. Skeptical at first, Sadie soon warms up to the three men and gets up close and personal with them.
It Started With a Sleigh is a delicious MMFM romance read with a sexy happily ever after that will jingle your bells and it gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval. TBR this read-in-one-sitting, holiday read and Enjoy!
Like a dirty Hallmark movie…It Started With A Sleigh is the perfect Christmas story filled with holiday magic and sexy good times.
Sadie’s Christmas Eve isn’t exactly going as planned when three elves magically crash into the alley behind her apartment building. With her much needed help she sets off to find Christmas cheer which the elves need to power their sleigh. Their Christmas Eve adventures not only bring wonderful reminders as to what the holidays are really about, but are infused with wonderful chemistry between Sadie and each elf – Tin, El, and Max.
This is a reverse harem with great chemistry, but the story also focuses on the connection she has with each man. This helps make the connection that much deeper considering the story takes place all in one night.
With such a short timeline in this novella, Kaydence touches on a lot of topics that the season should realistically be about, but so many people lose sight of. It isn’t pushed down your throat either as she wraps it in a way that is mixed with so much joy you can feel the happiness of the season bleeding through in the descriptions of everything infused on the pages. It makes you want to experience the season in a better way instead of being a Grinch.
Do I want my own personal elves…YES…but even more so – Sadie, Tin, El, and Max have given me a boost of happiness heading into the holiday season.
This book just put my Christmas spirit into overdrive. Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year. I put up my tree with it’s pre-lit white lights up on my birthday (October 30th) as a little birthday gift to myself because it makes me so happy. (Side note. I don’t decorate the tree till after Remembrance Day)
So how could I resist this book full of Christmas magic. I’d love to live in a world where this book was real life. The magic, the hot men , & the Christmas spirit. While I loved the spirit of this book it was also deliciously hot. Who wouldn’t want to spend their Christmas Eve with three sexy elves getting into the Christmas spirit?!
A perfect Christmas novella & the perfect read to brighten up your day!
OMG did I love this book. I couldn’t put it down. Talk about talent.
This is one of the best Christmas stories I have read in a long time. Plus, it was a different take on the whole idea of Santa at Christmas. I loved the elves and the Elves. This became a quick Christmas favorite that I will be reading even if it isn’t Christmas.
I am not generally one for holiday themed books, but since I love Kaydence’s other books, I gave it a try. It is a very cute, short story. I like the little anecdotes about the elves jobs and the main character is likeable. This has opened the doors a teensy bit for the possibility of my trying out an anthology. Good job, this Grinch gives 5 stars!
It Started With A Sleigh is a super cute long novella/short novel that is packed with Christmas spirit. I really found the plot of the story very creative and as usual for this author it is written and edited well. The length doesn’t allow for much depth or development but if you accept it as the quick read it is meant to be it is a very entertaining reverse harem Christmas romance. In general I prefer a long, slow build and burn, and I am not a huge fan of Christmas stories, but even my bah humbug heart was warmed by this charming holiday tale, and I can see myself reading it every year to help spark the Christmas cheer.
3.5 Stars
This is the sweetest and steamiest little holiday story that I’ve ever picked up.
I am on board for anything this author writes so I didn’t bother reading the blurb or finding out a single thing about this book (aside from it being holiday themed) before I grabbed it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it’s a magical (sort of fantastical) RH read set in the real world. It’s a charming story that takes place on Christmas Eve and manages to give you everything you could ever really need or want in a romance while lighting you up from the inside out. There’s enough swoon-inducing moments to woo any Grinch and plenty of playful banter to keep you smiling throughout. I was also impressed by the smutty scenes, they did a fantastic job of setting my libido on fire. I would happily drag any one of Sadie’s elves under the mistletoe.
Kaydence managed to combine Christmas magic and festive cheer to create the perfect holiday read for this wonderful season. It’s also hot and dirty enough to keep you nice and toasty on those chilly December nights. This will surely be a yearly read for me, one I’ll pick up whenever I need a little elfish entertainment.
I am a sucker for Christmas romances, but when you mix in a reverse harem that involved three hot alpha elves, I’ll drop everything to read this book. It Started with a Sleigh was the perfect mix of holiday cheer and heat! The story was super sweet and you can’t help but smile the entire time.
Sadie loves Christmas. She works hard and was able to get the evening off from her retail job to visit her family for Christmas eve. However, when her car breaks down and then there is a loud crash. Her night takes a crazy turn and she is about to experience a night she never could have imagined.
I can’t even begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book. Sadie is relatable. She loves Christmas, but like everyone she lost sight of the true meaning of the holiday. Max, Tin and El were not only three gorgeous alpha elves, but their histories are heartbreaking, but I loved that they found a new form of family. The chemistry between the four of them was fantastic, but Sadie also had a different connection with each of the guys.
This book will melt your kindle and warm your heart with all the holiday cheer. If you’re looking for a steamy holiday romance this is a MUST READ!
