All I want for Christmas is Mr. McLaren under the mistletoe…Of course, that’s all any girl in my senior class wants, but the crazy hot, decidedly grinchy Mr. McLaren is not an option. Not only because he’s our teacher, but because he’s a real jerk.All year I’ve kept my head down, turned in good work, and tried my best not to attract Mr. McLaren’s attention. I’m comfortable admiring him from a … attention. I’m comfortable admiring him from a safe distance, but I know better than to get too close. As ridiculous as it is to imagine that my brilliant, arrogant teacher might ever be interested in a student, there’s something about the intensity of his gaze when I catch him looking at me in class…
I’m sure it’s all in my head. At least, I’m sure of that until the day he overhears a classmate asking me out.
All of a sudden, I have Mr. McLaren’s full attention. His methods of commanding mine are unethical at best, but there’s something so enigmatic about this man. I can’t stay away.
Not that he’s giving me much of a choice.
I knew I wanted Mr. McLaren, but I didn’t know…
Maybe he wants me, too.
Mistletoe Kisses is the perfect festive winter treat. It is a very steamy student/teacher romance of 47,000 words (a short novel).

This was a hot little quickie.
Noelle, like all the girls in her class, has an inappropriate crush on her gorgeous, grumpy teacher. Unbeknownst to her, Mr McLaren has an even more inappropriate crush on her. He does nothing about it until one of the boys asks her out on a date.
“He’s ruining me, and I want to let him.”
This novella was pure escapism! Or, should I say, sexscapism! It was a real push-and-pull story full of forbidden desire and internal battles between what was morally and ethically right or wrong. Noelle is a pretty good girl who bravely pushes her boundaries and comfort zone. Callan McLaren is obsessed with her and even though he knows that what he’s doing is wrong, he can’t help his feeling of possession over her. Especially when she so willingly offers herself to him. A great little Christmassy hot toddy!
A great quick read that reminds me why I enjoy reading stories by Isabella Starling: gruffly and possessive heroes. This taboo story was too irresistible. A wonderful collaboration. I loved getting lost in the story of Noelle and Callan. Something to enjoy during the holiday season.
One of the most wonderful collaboration I’ve seen in years.
This time we have a wonderful Christmas taboo love story of a student that her alpha male teacher.
Noelle could never stop thinking of her handsome teacher, but when he calls her up one day and propose giving her some private tutoring, she knew that was the time she could not back down.
Seducing her teacher was not in her plan, but when he put his hands on her there were not a way she could ever leave.
Cal knew she shouldn’t be touching his student, but Noelle stole all common sense out of him. She was smart and sexy and he couldn’t resist her one more minute.
Their love is prohibited, but they didn’t care. Love always wins and always in the best way.
I loved this quick read! It surpassed all of my expectations. It is entertaining, sweet and so much more.

Callan and Noelle are awesome together. Interesting start to their relationship but all good things come to those who wait. Knowing he could be fired and still wanting to be with her made me a little teary eyed. Hopefully there will be a follow up to this couples story.

As if there was ever a chance I wouldn’t read this story.
Student-teacher is my kryptonite. It’s the one trope that will have me falling to my knees faster than you can say “drop to your knees.” And have you ever read a Sam Mariano book (if not, you should!)?
I devoured this hot, steamy, taboo novella. I felt the pull, the chemistry, the anticipation with every turn of the page. And what high school girl didn’t want to go shopping with her gorgeous teacher?
Okay, yeah, you would have needed a gorgeous teacher, but work with me here.

Mistletoe Kisses was a sexy and forbidden age gap romance that sure brightened up my holiday season. With the perfect blend of sexiness and naughtiness Noelle and Callan drew me in from the first page and kept me intrigued as I voraciously devoured this seductive little read. I enjoyed the instant and palpable connection that formed between Callan and Noelle and how they balanced each other out. Mistletoe Kisses was a fantastic mix of naughty and nice that had me curled up in my comfy chair and quickly in the holiday spirit.
Looking for a fast-pace, steamy, age-gap read? Look no further! These two authors debut their first co-written book together, and this reader hopes it’s not their last.
Noelle, and Callen (Mr. McLaren) have chemistry off the charts that I wonder why their other students don’t see it. As Noelle comes into her own her senior year she catches the eye of one of the most popular boys at school, but Noelle has her eye on a man. Callen knows that starting a relationship with Noelle is bad, but he knows things can be oh so good between them.
I love that this was a fast read, with some drama but not enough to prolong things. I loved that they both had real feeling for each other from the get go, and it didn’t seem as if Noelle was just looking for extra points. They have great push pull, hit the topic of their age difference head on.
I can’t wait to see what these two authors come up with next, because they definitely need to collaborate again!
I could not put this down teacher/ student taboo story. Noelle was so mature and then we have Callan who was sweet and hot all over the place to do the right thing. This was so sweet and romantic these two are intense and so perfect and that epilogue was everything. I loved it.
I’ve been rather into Christmas themed books this year and this one did not disappoint. It was a perfect blend of sweet and sexy, funny and angsty. I love age gap books, especially forbidden age gap books, so this was right up my alley. Callan is amazing. He’s all sorts of alpha hotness, but he’s also so swoony. And Noelle is feisty and I love that she’s a go-getter. The pair of them together are off-the-charts hot. And while this is a novella, it packs a punch and leaves you wanting for nothing. I’d definitely recommend this one!
I loved this dirty little read. It was sweet and fun and full of Christmas magic. Love that these two authors collaborated to bring us a great story.

Isabella Starling and San Mariano have written a deliciously sweet and forbidden novella that will have you enjoying the forbidden teacher/student romance and the age gap. Noelle and Callan had the chemistry, the connection between each other which was phenomenal. The plot is fantastic and the story is steamy while it’s plot has a Christmas theme. I enjoyed the plot, characters and the feels that occurred. Really liked the forbidden romance that is set up and hope these two authors write again. Great read!!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********
I enjoyed this hot little novella. This forbidden teacher/student romance was an enjoyable, quick read, with a bit of festive spirit thrown in, which I really liked. Definitely some swoony, steamy moments, making it all the more enjoyable, as you read to see if Noelle and Callan find their HEA.
I loved this book so much! I don’t read a lot of holiday themed books and this one was absolutely perfect. Cal and Noelle had aging chemistry and the whole book was full of a heated tension that had me holding my breath and waiting for them to explode all over each other. This was a quick read that I finished in one sitting. I will definitely be recommending it to everyone.
Noelle thinks Callum is hot but that he’ll never notice her, but when he overhears a classmate asking Noelle out, she now is at the forefront of his mind. He starts paying very close attention to her and wants to make her his. This was a really cute and steamy teacher/student romance with a nice holiday setting perfect to curl up and read when you need some downtime after the craziness of your own festivities.

i loves it
It’s all I wanted in a story
These two authors teaming up was a great plan
Well Holy Hot Cocoa and Candy Canes!! This is so sinfully sweet and yummy you will devour this quicker than your Granny’s Pumpkin Pie! Student/Teacher Romances are my jams y’all! You smack that sucker right into Christmas time, and my Santa Panties just melted right off.
Callan McLaren is that teacher. Yes, ladies. The hot one. The honors teacher everyone secretly lusted after but never has a chance in Hades with. Well that’s cause all them fools acted like HoHoHo’s! Well that is all the girls, but Noelle. The gorgeous redhead with the perfect body and brain managed to capture Mr. Callan McLaren’s attention where everyone else failed. She also managed to simultaneously intrigue and irritate him. Will Callan put everything he’s worked so hard for at risk to reap this little Christmas reward?
Noelle is not what you’d expect. A wealthy girl in a sea of privileged teenagers you would expect her to be the same. A brat with an entitlement complex. She is anything, but. She is sweet and wonderful. She’s so forbidden and a tempting treat for Callan, but he knows it CANNOT happen. This sexy little Santa’s Elf isn’t taking no for an answer. She wants Mr. McLaren and she knows he wants her too. If he wants to play this little holiday edition of a cat and mouse game that’s fine, either way she wins. She’s a sassy compliment to Callan’s grumpy, Scrooge-like attitude and she brings out just a little hint of a soft side to him while discovering her sensual self. I love the competitiveness and banter between them. GAH!! It was hotter than a fire burning the aftermath of Christmas morning festivities!
My cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book!
– This is like a perfect little Christmas gift and Perfect Christmas movie all in one, but dirty and so sinful and delicious. Like Peppermint Bark dipped in Hot Chocolate. Yup, so pretty much Perfect!
– LIKE ROARING FIREPLACE HOT! Yeah it’s that good. Callan is Alpha AF and Noelle’s not backing down till he gives in. So it’s perfect recipe for awesomeness right there!!
Cliffhanger Warning- No cliffhanger! Like a warm fuzzy blanket of perfection!!
#HappyEnding
