When love arrives via special delivery.Joy Winters lives for Christmas. Maybe because as a child growing up in foster care, she never experienced the true meaning of the season. That’s why the charity she began with her best friend to help make under privileged kids’ Christmas wishes come true is so near and dear to her heart. But this year, those wishes may be derailed when a clerical mistake … clerical mistake sends all the gifts to the wrong address. Hoping to locate the gifts before Christmas, Joy tracks down the delivery to the nearby home of a…holiday scrooge! Who cares that he’s the most attractive man she’s ever met? It’s his blustery mood that has her Ho-Ho-Ho turning into No-No-No.
Gabriel Frost has no time for annoying interruptions. He’s already burning the midnight oil with a crazy case load, on top of caring for his ailing grandfather. So, when the delivery company claims he can’t return the hundred packages delivered in error, Gabriel is anything but full of holiday cheer.
But there’s something about the idyllic town of Snowdon, Massachusetts that brings holiday magic into lives of even the biggest bah-humbuggers. Can the sweet smile of this all-kinds-of-adorable do-gooder melt the ice off Frost’s heart and save Christmas for everyone?

Despite her unhappy & lonely upbringing, Joy loves Christmas & spreading good wealth & cheer with her best friend. Always full of smiles & cheer, she’s taken aback when she meets Gabriel, the broody, grumpy man who accidentally received her packages. Not wanting any part of her holiday spirit, he does his best to be rude & unpleasant, trying to ignore his attraction towards her. But eventually he can’t help but to be consumed by her happiness. This was a fun holiday read that shows Scrooge needs some Joy in his life.
I don’t generally read novellas, for the sure fact they are not long enough for my liking. Trust me this is one I loved to read. A perfect 5 star Christmas romance that gave me goosebumps.
Joy accidentally has a ton of Christmas gifts that are meant to underprivileged children to a hot Scrooge. Gabriel is not feeling very festive until he meets Joy, even then he wasn’t the nicest person.
I enjoyed this page turning story. It had heart and feelings. I felt for these amazingly created characters. A beautifully mastered story that was loaded with emotions. Bottomline this is a must read. A perfect Christmas romance.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.
3.75 Christmas cheer stars
This Christmas short story is like a naughty Hallmark holiday movie in the best way!
With over the top Christmas winks- it’s adorable, sweet, touching and sexy!
Characters are full despite it being a short story, it was a Scrooge versus Joy Christmas cheer for me!
It put a smile on my face and Christmas cheer in my mood!
Loved this story. A cute and quick Christmas novella. What started out as an address snafu turned into something much more. Gabriel and Joy were so good together. Their chemistry was so hot. Gabriel was a bit of a scrooge but all he needed was a little Joy in his life and he was able to embrace the Christmas season and get the HEA he needed, that they both needed. Ms. Hill didn’t disappoint and I can’t wait to read what she has next.

Sweet and hot short story.
The storyline was good and the characters were brilliant. It had everything packed in so nothing was missed. A perfect short story that pulled me in. A fabulous Christmas story.
Oh what a treat! Joy and Gabriel is what I needed today. This was a sexy and sweet story with a Christmas Scrooge who just needed a little joy in his life. I loved this!
I could read Santa’s Special Delivery again and again and never tire of it. This short story was sexy fun with two great characters and a plot that had me feeling the Christmas spirit!
With this story I felt happy and like I needed a glass of eggnog, my favorite warm pjs and my throw as I devoured every word. I fell hard for the way this story was written and how it made me feel. Very addicting.
Santa’s Special Delivery gets a MAGICAL FIVE SPARKLING HOLIDAY STARS!
This is a rather short story all about Christmas feelings and things Christmasy. Scrooge has a big part in the story as does the lovely Christmas spirit – i.e. the leading lady of the story who is a true representative of all things good after her hard life. This story is short enough to be read in an evening and still complete enough that it doesn´t really lack in context due to it´s shortness. So overall it is quite a good story and I am really glad that I can give it four beautiful stars.

4.5 Stars
I really liked this story. Joy is full of just that, Joy, even with a tough childhood. Gabriel is dealing with the illness of his grandfather, leaving him grumpy. These two may just be what each other needs.
Joy and Gabriel are spending the holiday season helping others who need their compassion and understanding to make them smile. Gabriel may not feel like he is in the holiday spirit, but his diligent work on an important case and the tender care he is giving to his grandfather, makes him a Christmas angel to me. Joy is selflessly devoted to making sure that every child has a happy and memorable holiday. She is always thinking of others and her bright smile and zest for life is appreciated by everyone she meets. These two Christmas stars were bound to cross paths in the twinkling sky and when they did, their chemistry was explosive and their love undeniable.
Sierra Hill certainly brightened up my holiday season with this sweet and thoughtful story. We sometimes get caught up in the material aspects of Christmas but Joy and Gabriel showed us that kindness and love is priceless and is something we all need in our lives.
Santa’s Special Delivery by Sierra Hill a snowy five-star read. Please take me away to Snowdon, I need the magic in my life. Gabriel Frost is a man who may very well have icicles growing from his fingertips he is such a grump. But all he needs are some delicious cookies and his Grandad. Who wouldn’t love a bunch of extra parcels delivered to them? My postman is like my bed friend some days. This story will melt those icicles and warm your heart.
Gabriel finds Joy this Christmas
Joy has the Christmas spirit. Gabriel does not. A delivery mishap provides the introduction and a night out provides a steamy night of ‘wrapping presents’ giving Gabriel some Christmas spirit. Then a family emergency has Gabriel right back where he started. He just needs to find his Christmas Joy. Romantic, sexy, holiday short story that is sure to warm your heart.
Another fun, super quick, flirty read from Sierra Hill. Gabriel is a cranky man, with way too much on his plate to deal with the influx of packages coming his way. The last thing he needs is super sweet Joy in his space. Joy just wants to make as many kids as possible happy for the holidays and the last thing she needs is this hot Scrooge ruining her fun. Sparks fly but does Gabriel have it in him to let her in? Steamy and fun!
