"This is who I belong with, who I belong to, and who belonged to me."

Haley Tyler coming in hot with a Christmas novella that you will forever LOVE. Haley is my ride-or-die and I will love any book she writes. And Secret Santa is no exception. How anyone can pack that much into a novella is beyond me, but Haley does it so well.

Aiden and Danica work so well together, their dynamic is so well done. The way he knows from the start that he loves her, and is insta jealous of anyone else even looking at her. He takes care of her; despite her flaws, despite her inner monologue, despite everything. And when it comes to taking care of him? She comes in fast and saves the day.

I absolutely love Aiden and Dani, and I need more with them.

"Say the word and I'll give you the entire fucking world, Danica. Just tell me what I have to do."
