Peyton Cabot hates his life: being a rock star, performing for screaming crowds, being interviewed for magazines’ hottest musician of the year articles, winning awards, and banking loads of money.Yeah, it sucks to be him.After every show, Peyton tags along to supper with one of the couples in the band, a pathetic third wheel. Sometimes he goes down to the hotel bar to try to hook up with a woman … hotel bar to try to hook up with a woman who is traveling for business, usually to strike out because they’re not looking to hang out with a famous twenty-something blond-haired, green-eyed hottie. Every night, he sleeps in a different hotel bed, alone.
Except on those nights when Peyton picks up the phone to call one particular woman, one who understands him like no one else, but now she won’t answer his calls.
When Peyton goes to find her, he gets a Christmas surprise that changes everything.

Oh, Peyton what a kinky nice guy you turned out to be.
I loved Santa Baby. We met Peyton back during the Rock Stars in Disguise: Georgie series. Peyton and Georgie had a relationship when they were young but Peyton did something pretty bad to destroy that relationship and their friendship. He came back into her life after she was involved with Xan (Alexandre) and apologized for his misdeeds but it was too late; Georgie was in love with Xan.
I’m so glad that Blair decided to give Peyton his HEA and tell us more about him. He is introduced to Raji at a mutual friend’s wedding. They have a quick hook-up and the sparks fly. Raji is a cardiothoracic surgical resident; her only goal is to become the best heart surgeon in the world. She lives for medicine and will let nothing get in her way. That is until life throws her a curve.
Peyton was a bit of a jerk in the Georgie books but boy does he redeem himself in Santa Baby. He and Raji agree to keep tearing up the sheets with each other without any commitment; that’s the way Raji wants it. Peyton loves her and will agree to anything to keep her in his life. Unfortunately, when life throws Raji a curve she backs away from Peyton. From the title we already know that a baby is involved but I’m not giving anything else away. The only other thing I’ll say is that there is definitely an HEA for Peyton and Raji, just the way there should be.
Blair Babylon’s writing always helps to enrich my vocabulary. Here are a few of the words I looked up while reading Peyton’s story: rictus, titer, susurration, and parturition. I love everything about her stories and I can’t wait for the next one!

This is Peyton’s story and oh I just fell inlove.
Peyton falls head over heels for Raji when they met at a party given by friends. Raji is still an intern, and Peyton is of course in Killer Valentine so it’s not easy but Peyton would move the world for her. She doesn’t want to ruin her future but then the unthinkable happens. What will Raji do? Can Peyton win her hand and heart?
Totally loved this hot, sexy, holiday story.
When Blair first announced she was going to write this book with ‘Peyton’ as the main character I was kind of horrified & told her so. He was so awful to Georgie in their teens I said it would take a lot for her to redeem him in my eyes as I can’t stand bully’s!! Well it’s safe to say she succeeded & then some
This book spans Peyton & Raji’s relationship over approximately 3 years & then the final chapter is around an extra 18 months. It’s sexy, he’s the boss in the bedroom, they laugh together a lot but she shies away from any sort of commitment. She is a Cardiothoracic Surgical Registrar & believes she has no heart to love a man with. From all she’s seen and experienced, men don’t stick around anyway (Daddy issues). So their relationship is friends with sexy hot benefits & they absolutely can NEVER be seen/connected in public together as he’s a ‘Rock Star’. Her bosses, apparently, will assume he takes drugs & that she steals them from the hospital for him Her close friend & Colleague seems to think the same way so it’s not that far fetched!!
From the title you can guess what eventually happens. It’s such a sad time & misunderstandings, unclear communication & bad decisions break them up It was awful, My heart hurt for them both!!
I’m so very glad Blair decided, in her wisdom, to write this book. It turned out to be one of my favourite baby books.
For this author it’s far less angsty & harrowing than I’ve come to expect and much more focused on the growing love & much more about their journeys as people and as a couple, hopefully!! Peyton IS an honourable man, he thoroughly makes up for his past juvenile mistakes & spitefulness throughout this book!! Yay
A highly deserved & recommended 5 stars from me. A beautifully written, romantic, sexy, hot, strong, flowing, musical, medical & baby rollercoaster of a ride through several years in this couples love story!!

Surprise! Peyton was one of my least favorite characters in the “Rock Stars” series. This book went just as I expected, but with a sweet twist. Throughly enjoyable. Grab a drink (or wassail) put your feet up and enjoy.
