📖 Kallam, the third member of ex-boy band INK, is riding the wave of his viral sex tape and is now set to make his comeback in the next big movie from Hope After Dark, Santa Baby, The r-rated hallmarky movie that brings a whole new meaning to the North Pole. 

Winnie Baker married her childhood sweetheart at 18 & is Hollywood's heavenly daughter. When she discovers her husband has been cheating on her, Winnie divorces him and sets on a path to reclaim her tarnished reputation. With The Hope Channel cancelling her contracts, Winnie decides that taking the female lead in Santa Baby is how she will make a new name for herself. When Winnie realises she is bad at faking her O because she's never really had one in real life 😵, she asks Kallam to help her with "research" and the unlikely duo enter an agreement that their sexcapades end when filming finishes... But feelings get caught and, well other things too. 🫣


💭 I'll start by saying that the first half of this book was a Holly Jolly good time. Being back on the set of another Hope after Dark Xmas movie, with the over the top romp and appearances from our Merry Little Meet Cute faves, I was practically ho ho ho'ing...

Then in the second half, we are hit with a surprise trope that to me, felt like someone just dumped a bucket full of snow on my fire and there was no coming back from that. 

My tip... Read it, because the first half of gold! but stop at the end of chapter 15 and just envision they live HEA without all the blah that comes before it. Sorted! Done! Huzzah!
