By: Chelle Bliss, Eden Butler
Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Lance Greenfield
What happens when you are caught in a snowstorm with your baby and have no where to go? Maggie is stuck in her car, with no food and it doesn’t look good until Smoke comes to help her. Taking her in, Maggie learns the true meaning of family and love as she is welcomed into the Carelli home. This is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. Full of love and warmth, we get to experience the joy and love Maggie finds in her new surroundings. And Smoke just is impossible to resist. His alpha ways and true passion sucked me in. Loved this short with the sexy, growlie voice of Lance Greenfield and expressive tones of Samantha Brentmoor.

This is a beautiful, sweet and sexy Christmas novella! I loved it! Smoke and Maggie are both great characters. Smoke is an alpha man, handsome, protective, and caring. Maggie is a lovely single Mom. They share an instant attraction, and a beautiful chemistry. I love the Carelli Family. Now I need to know what happens next! Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield did a wonderful job with the narration. I highly recommend it.
Wish it had been longer and the story delved into more.
This was a perfect short sexy holiday read to get you in the festive mood. Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield were spot on with their narration and perfect for these characters. The brought the right amount of enthusiasm to the story to make me intrigued with these characters. It was short and had a great story so much that I need more from them. I really hope more is in the works and soon.
It starts with Maggie in her car with her baby then she ends up in the across the parking lot of a restaurant. Smoke Carelli sees the car and goes up to it and he then brings her and her baby inside the restaurant which has his family Christmas party dinner going on. I loved reading what happens and didn’t want the story to end. I look forward to reading more of Chelle & Eden books in this series.
Chelle and Eden give readers the present of a quick Christmas read that gives you that warm, beautiful Christmas feeling. Smoke Carelli finds Maggie sitting in her car with her baby in the cold air. She’s trying to get to her aunt for Christmas but ends up with only part of the way there broke, cold and desperate. She’s not one to ask for help but when the handsome Smoke Carelli comes to the rescue, she doesn’t refuse. It’s a heartwarming tale with a good amount of spice and a lot of smiles.
This was a super quick holiday story that did not disappoint. Smoke and Maggie look like they have just started with their story that includes Maggie’s baby Mateo. The chemistry between Smoke and Maggie was palpable from the start. I also liked the little bit that we saw of the other Carelli’s and look forward to more stories for all of them.
In the audio version, the narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield was performed well and the pair did a great job bringing this story to life and making it an enjoyable listening experience.
Overall, I would recommend this quick holiday story to others.
5 star Review Santa Baby (A Carelli Family Christmas Novella) by Chelle Bliss & Eden Butler
AUDIO REVIEW:
Really enjoyed this short holiday novella. Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Lance Greenfield this is a quick listen that will get you in the mood for the festive season. Their narration was spot on and really brought the story to life for me.
Alone and stranded with her six month old son, Maggie is at the end of her rope. When Smoke rescues Maggie, she is initially frightened but slowly but surely he draws her in, offering them sanctuary, food and a warm place to rest.
I fell hard and fast for Smoke, such an alpha, caring man who ticked the boxes for me. I don’t think either Maggie or Smoke realized how much was missing in their lives until they met.
This was not only a smoking hot steamy listen but it was also witty and I adored how Smoke was so sweet with baby Mateo; he melted my heart.
I loved this short Carelli story. It was sweet & fun (I was laughing at Smoke with baby Mateo while walking down the aisles shopping). And of course you’ve got a bit of sexy steam in there too. I seriously loved him talking with the baby lol And I loved how Smoke & Maggie connected with each other. A quick read you’re going to love!
I love this little story so much that I want more! I really need to see where this goes. Smoke is hot and so not what he portrays himself to be.
Maggie is strong but a bit weary from the toll life has taken. She is swept up by this family and surrounded by holiday love.
We need more of this story and this family. Loved it!!
This is a little slice of Christmas spirit. A short, sweet listen on audio, with a bite of steam. These two authors work well together. Add this to your must listen list or TBR.
This was so sweet I think I need a dentist. For a novella the characters were well developed and interesting, it was a nice medium burn they didn’t fall into insta love but it was as quick as you would expect with a novella.
Definitely has left me wanting to know more about this amazing couple. I loved it
I really enjoyed this quick, holiday Christmas read. It turns out this is just the beginning of Smoke, Maggie and baby Mateo’s story. Oh I have theories of what might come about. Looking forward to it!
Lance and Samantha did a great job narrating.
I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Smoke is one selfless loving man. Maggie is on caring complicated woman.
Maggie meets Smoke when he is needed the most. They are everything they both needed but weren’t looking for. Smoke’s family is kind and caring.They make Maggie feel like part of the family.They make for one interesting complicated couple. Could not wait to see how the story would end.
Santa Baby is a sweet & hot insta love holiday novella. It is set in the Carelli world, but can be read as a standalone. I’m actually not familiar with this series but loved this story and definitely plan to read more.
“…you’re about to witness a Carelli Christmas. You might prefer freezing in your car to my crazy family.”
I loved listening to this story on audiobook. It was a bit like having a Halmark Christmas movie ears!
-4 Stars!-
I need the storyline to continue
*review for the audible version* The perfect amount of sweet and steamy in this quick listen. You’ll swoon hard for Maggie and Smoke. This novella packs everything you could want. The narrator’s did an amazing job. I’m hopeful for more from Maggie and Smoke. Fingers crossed because I definitely need more of these two!
Santa Baby is such a wonderful Christmas novella. Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler gave a nice, sweet and steamy sneak peek of Smoke and Maggie and I can’t wait for more. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more about them and the Carelli family.
