The tagline on the cover just sends me "Holiday miracles in the sex toy aisle." Indeed!

Turcot finds his former best friend's sister in the sex shop staring wistfully and curiously at some chintzy bondage cuffs. Since Turcot personally crafts his own custom cuffs that are far superior AND sees some real sub potential in librarian Cassidy, he approaches her to see how she's been all these years. And wow do kinks align and sparks fly. They agree to a night of exploration, since Cassidy is completely new to kink (despite having checked out a lot of books on the subject from her library). Turcot takes great care to make Cassidy feel safe and consensual (even calling his friend from the kink club he goes to to be her buddy and check in).

But what Cassidy truly desires is all the emotions that go into kink play, and the real connection she already has with Turcot is both entirely what she wants but also a bit scary. Is it just the orgasms or should she jump into Turcot's arms, and cuffs, forever?

Lots of fun Christmas-y "toys" include a red blinking rudolph nose bum plug, this was a fast and steamy holiday novella that made me smile.
