So yeah if you are looking for a read to keep you entertained and warm this holiday season then you need to grab this book. Wrapped in Red will not disappoint
HOLY WOW!! I can’t think of another way to describe this book.
This is the first book ever for this author, and OMG! I can’t wait to read more from her!! I can’t wait for the next book in the series! I literally couldn’t put this down, and yes I know it’s a shorter story, but OMG!!!!! SOOOOOO AMAZING!!!
I was captured and before I knew it, I was finished with the book wanting more!
JJ and Liam meet by chance, when she’s going to her Ex’s Ugly Christmas Sweater party, and one she shouldn’t be going to that is!
She stops to fix her red bow on her head, and the window rolls down!! AND THERE’S LIAM!
They agree to go this party together, even though it’s not even where he was going in the first place. LOL!
They have that instant attraction that I love in books, and S.A. Clayton didn’t disappoint in any way shape or form!!!
Liam and JJ come from different sides of the tracks so to speak, and they agreed that if he went with her to this party, she would have come to his family Christmas. Little do they know how they are really connected. Life’s like that sometimes, 6 degrees of separation!
Once JJ runs out of the party, can Liam find her again?
Can they have that spark again?
I loved everything about this couple! Their instant attraction, their banter, the protectiveness of JJ from Liam, just EVERYTHING!!!!!
I really enjoyed the story and twists and turns were so great!
Some of my fave quotes from the book:
1. I want to be much more than that, but we’ll start there.” – UGH LIAM!!! I can’t! **SWOON MOMENT**
2. Last night was better than I ever imagined, and believe me….I imagined. A lot. – ROFL!! Liam can’t help it with JJ!
This is the first story I have read by S.A. Clayton, Have to say really enjoyed it from start to finish. It was quick holiday read. Liam and JJ had instant connection from the moment they meet that has them tied up in some steamy chemistry, There Twists and turns along the way for them. A Must read.
JJ can’t believe she has a hot date to show up to her exes party, a chance meeting while fixing her outfit in front of his car and Liam agrees to be her date, she wants to make it even and he says she can be his date to his parents Christmas party.
Chasing after JJ, Liam is stopped by her ex and he lets him know he’s not letting her go like he did, but she’s gone when he gets outside.
Both Liam and JJ are told they are going out by their friends and fate plays its hand with them meeting again, the chemistry is just an intense as when they first met.
Being told by her friend their going out she gives in and puts on her best outfit, when a guy gives her a hard time, she never expected to turn to see him on the floor and Liam staring at her.
Liam knows she’s scared and it’s crazy, but he can’t let her go a second time – ‘Angel, I would search the earth for you. You changed everything.’
Liam knows he needs JJ there for his families Christmas he won’t survive it otherwise, but is he making a huge mistake.
**I voluntarily read this book, and my comments here are my honest opinion. **
If you are a fan of insta-love reads, then this book is perfect for you! Wrapped in Red is a sweet, but oh so naughty holiday novella.
Liam Huntington and JJ Walker have an instant attraction the minute they meet, even if it’s just outside the house that at an ugly Christmas sweater party hosted by JJ’s ex finance is being held at.
Loved JJ and Liam’s story and this novella has it all – secrets, angst, laughter/humor, a few tears, love, steam all packed in from the first page to the last. This was a quick read so don’t really want to post to much about their story – just that you all should read it! Oh…and Karma…she is real and love how she came to play about!
I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book in this duet.
Wrapped In Red is a sexy, sweet holiday novella. The story is Insta-Love and definitely Insta-Lust and so sizzling hot.
“Angel, I would search the earth for you. You changed everything.”
JJ and Liam have an immediate attraction but have to find out if their connection is strong enough to last or will it burn out when some truths are revealed.
“I know it’s crazy. But what I have with you is beyond anything…it’s so amazing and I can’t let that go…I won’t.”
This novella was a quick, easy read especially for a fan of an OTT story with loads of sexy times.
-3.5 Stars-
Interesting and fast read, it was a perfect holiday Christmassy read. I liked that even as short as the story is, Liam and Josephine are fleshed out fairly well. It’s got all the charm of a Hallmark holiday special but shorter and steamier- took me about two hours to read this whole story.
OHHHHHHH I can’t believe I have not shared with you guys the deliciousness that is between these pages!! BAD REVIEWER! But seriously …
Gloriously sexy from page one to the end …
Ridiculous #feels *happy sigh*
Liam .. yes, please! *swoon*
Conclusion: S.A. Clayton has my attention and hopefully yours! However, this book wasn’t without some serious faults. I’m pretty sure most of them I can blame on editing. The story itself is everything I mentioned which is basically one huge glorious sexual moment with #feels but it was way underdeveloped and way over the top. If that makes any sense LOL (view spoiler: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2964985585)

3 1/2 stars
JJ meets Liam at her ex boyfriend’s Christmas party and they are instantly attracted to each but she pushes him away.
This is one racy, hot read where Santa really does exist and he is indeed a giver! The chemistry between the lead characters is incredibly hot and they quickly realise their instant attraction was real. I like both characters because they were down to earth and appreciated the little things in life rather than the grand gestures, as evidenced in their first dinner together. One reason for the extra half a star.
You feel quite a few emotions in this short story ranging from happiness to anger. The main reason for the extra half a star. You find yourself wanting to slap one or two of the characters around the back of the head but alas it would do no good!
Wrapped In Red is an enjoyable, fast paced light holiday romance.
This was a good read. I’m excited for the next book.
*4.5 stars*
A sexy, debut…
This debut story was so, so good! Set around Christmas season, I was prepared for a jolly good time and that is exactly what I got. The writing style was breezy, full of humour and heart as JJ wrestled with getting over a bad breakup. The scenes with JJ’s bestie were full of fun and real-life that had me laughing and nodding my head in agreement. Not all was sugar plums and fancy frolicking, of course but Liam was the perfect gift for JJ, and vice versa, as they both struggled to get through the holidays…
There was insta-love and lots of insta-heat that, surprisingly, didn’t feel impossible. Did it push the ‘believability factor’? It did, but, the characters were so natural and okay with it all that it just worked. And, oh was it hot! Along with the heat, they found something in each other they’d never had before and, more importantly, they made me believe it wasn’t just possible but perfectly right.
This novella may have been short on pages but never in the feels or feel good category. This new author is firmly on my ‘watch’ list.

Sexy and fun! It made me laugh and smile. A great romantic read perfect for the holidays.
