I’ve never heard of this series but I saw Nina Croft on the cover and I knew I needed to give it a go. And she definitely didn’t disappoint!

John Ryan is struggling with his new state of being. A vampire-werewolf is something new and no one knows what to expect. He’s getting a little tired of everyone hovering but he also understands why they have to. He doesn’t even understand himself or know what to expect next so how can he expect anyone else to … then he meets Winter. And his instant and undeniable attraction to her just complicates an already overly-complicated situation.

Winter really wants to start over somewhere that people don’t have certain expectations about her – yes, she’s made mistakes, been a little flighty, and overly … enthusiastic sometimes but she’s older now. And she really wants the chance to prove herself. Babysitting Ryan may not be what she expected but if she can get him together with his nephew then maybe she can finally get her chance. Finding him super sexy and hard to resist is definitely not the best way to do that.

Bittersweet Christmas isn’t really a holiday read (Winter’s dad is Santa and it all starts with the letter) but it is definitely super enjoyable. There’s the perfect amount of heat and heart and danger to meet anyone’s wants. And now I’m super curious about what else is going on in the world that Croft has created :)

(This is the first in the series that I’ve read but it can easily be read on its own. Croft does a great job of keeping you in the loop of anything that you might need to know.)
