North Pole, Maine has lost its Christmas spirit, and Nick Santos and his friends Kris and Rudy are doing their best to bring it back...
Having landed himself on Santa’s Naughty List, Nick Santos is given a chance at redemption. Granted, he’s tasked with some daunting challenges—pimping Santa’s ride and fixing the town’s Christmas bling—but playing Secret Santa comes with some unexpected perks, like finally catching the eye of his long-time crush, Vixen White.
Vixen has no idea what’s come over Nick this holiday season, but he’s bringing Christmas magic and miracles back to North Pole, and warming up her cold, wintry nights with his hot-and-hunky body and ultra-sexy pillow talk.
Is it all for show, or has the bad boy finally changed his wicked ways?

Review:
Fox creates a humorous tone with the holiday comparisons from Nick's coffee mug logo of “Got Sleigh?” to the festive names of streets, friends and business in this story. As I was reading Naughty St. Nick, I kept envisioning a quaint little town full of spirit, love and mischief (thanks to Nick).
Fox creates such lovable characters with brilliant personalities and backgrounds that whet my appetite for more. The way Nick, the bad boy, actually had a heart of gold and expressed his desires and longtime love for Vixen (AKA, Vix) was so heartwarming. And the way Vix relied on her recently deceased father for her creativity made me root for her even more to succeed. The underlying stories of each main characters added to the magical moments spilling into the main plot.
Fox's writing style scooped me into the story and when it ended my romance palate was satisfied as well as my need for more of her work.
I highly recommend Naughty St. Nick, and not just for romance readers of holiday representation but to all lovers of romance.
