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).

“He’s ruining me, and I want to let him.”
Nothing makes me happier than a forbidden romance. Nothing. Mistletoe Kisses is a forbidden, student/teacher romance that warms your soul and gets you right in the Christmas spirit. **insert winks face**
Callan McLaren is Noelle Harper’s English teacher. This story is hot and these two have chemistry that is hot, hot, HOT.
This story is exactly what I needed. I love both Sam and Isabella’s writing and I was so thrilled to see they were doing a duet!
This story is naughty and nice. Sweet and salty. Hot and cold. But to be honest the only thing cold about it is I now need a cold shower after finishing this story!
I liked this book. I thought that the writing was good. This quick read has a fun story line that was easy to read. As a self-proclaimed forbidden romance junkie I was super excited to read this book. I wish that I could have felt a deeper amount of affection for characters but it just never happened. I never really felt any a real connection between this pair and I thought that the sparks of chemistry that they did manage to generate were sporadic at best. As is, it was a enjoyable read but for me anyway, it lacked the sparkle and sizzle I expected.
I am already familiar with Isabella Starling and Sam Mariano’s books and to say i was intrigued by a collaboration between these too naughty ladies and all I can say it worked!
Mistletoe Kisses was the perfect little Christmas novella. A perfect blend of feelings, cheesiness, forbidden love (Student/teacher), angst and naughtiness.
Callan was such a hot alpha male that will get your heart go crazy in your chest. Noelle our heroine might be naive but she is so adorable and much stronger than she seems. They are a perfect match for each other and you can’t help but fall in love with them.
I couldn’t put it down and would advise it to anyone who loves a quick hot romance and will now be looking forward for any further collaboration between these authors.
its a nice story. it reads nicely through the well-described characters, the humor and the seduction game. all together it gets 4 stars from me .. I would like to know what she had for him as a gift.

Isabella Starling and Sam Mariano team up to bring you this fantastic student/teacher forbidden holiday romance. These two authors definitely know how to spice up your reading list.
I loved it! Noelle is the smart, innocent, and loving heroine while Cal is the moody and torn (but lovable) “Scrooge”. In this story we get to see the war Cal has with himself when he realizes that his student wants him as much as he wants her – but realizations kick in. Can she handle a relationship with a grown man? Will he be able to handle someone so innocent and at the end of it all will he able to keep his career he worked so hard for?
The chemistry between these two – holy sh**, it’s off the charts hot and the storyline didn’t feel rushed at all. Then the happily ever after, it’ll make you melt. I can’t say enough praise about this book. If you are looking for something hot, sweet and Christmasy- definitely give this one a shot.

Kisses of affection for this novella! 5 stars
If you want a forbidden/taboo Christmas read, then this book is for you! I absolutely adored this sweet, sexy forbidden love story! Callan is the 28 year old English Lit teacher & Noelle is the 18 year old student, & I loved that he was intrigued by her mind & the way she saw the world first. She did have a positive outlook on life & gave back to her community, & I admired that about her. Cal is smart and an Alpha, & that was sexy! There was no way Noelle could resist, because I would not have either! I definitely recommend this short, sexy, forbidden Christmas love story!
What an awesome story this was. It had me glued to it’s pages from the beginning. Sam and Isabella are two amazing author’s on there own so I just knew that with them writing a book together it was going to be fabulous and it was all that and more. We have Noelle an 18yr old high school student who’s a good girl in all aspects of her life then we have the hot as sin teacher who knows better but goes against his better judgement and comes up with a plan to get closer to Noelle. And boy do they get close, talk about some hot and steamy moments. Well that is until Callen’s sister see’s the two of them together and talks him into realizing what’s going on is not good for anyone. Callen then pushes Noelle away before things go to far between them and she walks away with her head held high even if she feels crushed. But then something’s happen and things start to change back into a direction of them possibly being together but thats as far as I’m going to tell you you will have to read the book to find out all of what happens. Trust me if your a fan of both these author’s or even if you have never read anything by them this is a story that will suck you in and enjoy.
A Wonderful Holiday Story to warm you up!! Cal and Noelle have such an attraction to each other you can feel it from the beginning. Their back and forth is teasing and titillating. The way Cal attempts to push Noelle away but she has him fighting with himself and giving just as good as shes getting.
If you want a quick read to warm you up, this is the one for you!! I want my own Scrooge!!!
A hot for the teacher-student novella that blasts innocence, sizzling chemistry, and on the edge of taboo wrapped up in a stellar storyline that not only gave the characters ample depth and purpose but kept my attention glued to every word – That IMO. Makes for a perfect afternoon read!
If you’re a lover of Ms. Starling or Ms. Mariano’s work, then I recommend checking this book out for yourself!
4.5 Elfie Stars.
Holy hotness!
What a great Christmas treat this one was. Really enjoyed reading this quick holiday book. These two authors melded together perfectly.
If you’re looking for a great holiday read, look no further.
Included in your present is a taboo story based on a student/teacher that is totally sham-wow panty worthy.
I started this book and couldnt put it down. This is everything you want in a forbidden romance. Steamy scenes were steamy, but the love story is what makes this book so good. Very well written. Christmas is definately Merry and Bright
This has been such a pleasure to read. It’s a forbidden age gap romance that was so well written and developed. The characters pushed each other’s boundaries and it was fun to read.
Loved this

I have liked all books that have been written by Isabella, but have not read anything by Sam. I was not disappointed by this writing duo. This may be a quick read, but it doesn’t skimp on the steam and connection between the two main characters. This is a forbidden romance between a teacher and student and an age gap.
Noelle and Cal are totally hot together. Cal is Noelle’s English Lit teacher and has noticed her. Noelle is not like the other girls, she is not only beautiful, but she is very smart. The chemistry that these two have is absolutely hot and off the charts. This is a hot and steamy Christmas read with some great characters. Snuggle up and warm yourself up by reading this book.
I’ve never enjoyed a Christmas novella more!
Mistletoe Kisses is a quick super hot read. Callen, is a swoon worthy, dirty talker that’ll leave you fanning yourself, Noelle, you just can’t help but to like her, and at times feel a little embarrassed for her. MK is fun, hot (oh the hotness) and it’ll hook you from the start.
A definite must read.
This was a hot little story. A very intelligent & hard working student, Noelle, catches the eye of her very handsome, and at times jerky, teacher, Mr. Callan McLaren. When he suggests private tutoring, let’s just say, things heat up. Where as Noelle is sweet & innocent, she definitely has some not so innocent things on her mind, as does Mr. McLaren. And she’ll keep tempting him until she gets what she wants, even when he gets his jerk on a little extra. I definitely enjoyed this!!
Isabella Starling is in my top 10 but I have not had the pleasure of reading anything by Sam Mariano, so when I saw this I was intrigued and I was not disappointed.
This is a forbidden teacher/student romance, age gap, Christmas romance novella. It was short but it lacked for nothing. It was steamy, seductive, and naughty, it was exactly what I needed for this time of year.
Noelle and Callan were hot! Hot as hell and the more this relationship was off limited and forbidden the hotter these two got, the more they wanted each other. The connection between them was instant and even though they know they should be ignoring these impulses and this desire they have for one another, they can’t help but follow it, putting them both at risk. The connection between this student and her teacher was on fire. The connection was thick and the chemistry off the charts.
These two balance each other out in a way, yet they bounded off each other in the best way possible. I absolutely loved them both. The authors have created two amazing characters that I was completely smitten with.
I am not into Christmas themes but I have found a few this year that I have loved and this is one of them. As I said, Isabella isn’t new to me, so I knew I would love it. Sam only added to Isabella’s writing and made it even more incredible. These two worked well together. It flowed flawlessly and I read this with each and in just one sitting. I couldn’t put it down.
Such an awesome, steamy, naughty, fun, intriguing and addictive Christmas novella… Perfect!
5 Stars

Super hot story about Noelle, an eighteen year old high school student, and her English teacher Callan. Noelle is older & wiser than her years, and participates in all kinds of leadership & community activities. When another students asks Noelle out, Callan steps in, and the two have a push-pull, taboo magnetism that can’t be contained. It is a scorching hot, sinfully naughty read that will keep you turning page after sizzling page!

Mistletoe Kisses is a naughty Chirstmas novella that had me hooked from beginning to end. This Student/Teacher forbidden romance was sexy and steamy and the chemistry between Callan and Noelle was so intense they were willing to take a chance and risk it all to be together. You will love these characters and will be rooting for them as the story progresses. You will love the tension between them and their back and forth banter. This page-turner is well-written and is sure to steam up your holiday. I would recommend it to all lovers of taboo, student/teacher romance.
