Kelsie almost has it all - a supportive family, a business she loves, and a close-knit group of friends who can be as meddlesome as they are fabulous. The one thing she doesn't have is a girlfriend, and, as the last unmarried member of the troop, her friends aren't about to stand for that.

During a night of drunken frivolity, they concoct a plan. They're going to send a letter to Santa on Kelsie's behalf, asking for a girlfriend for Christmas. It's all fun and good humor for Kelsie until, the very next day, she meets Randa, a seemingly perfect woman who possesses all the attributes her friends specifically requested for her in their letter.

When a chance encounter brings another woman into Kelsie's life, though, she begins to wonder whether perfect is necessarily right and if Santa could have been way off the mark.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Riley LaShea is the author of a bunch of novels in a bunch of genres that so frequently combine into a single book, she spends a lot of time thinking, “Now, how the hell do I categorize this?”

She travels a lot (when the world is open), and has lived in a (mostly) lovely assortment of cities in multiple states and two countries.

She currently lives in Las Vegas with her wildly sarcastic, yet oddly charming spouse Shawna, but we’ll see how long that lasts. The location… not the wife.

Just for kicks, and to dabble in murder and mayhem, she writes police procedural thriller series, 21 Weeks, under pen name R.A. LaShea.

A magical love story!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2017

Because this is a new author for me, I didn't know what to expect. Now I can honestly say, I like her writing, I love her characters, the setting, the interaction and I enjoyed the plotline. The time in which this magical story takes place, is my favorite season. So that is also a bonus. It's not really a Christmas story with all the bells and whistles but a story in which Christmas plays an important role. It’s about asking for a girlfriend for Christmas. With meddling friends, it is asking for trouble. Kelsie doesn't like that but she also know she loves them no matter what. I’m glad I have all 3 installments on my reader and I don't have to wait to read the next part about this great bunch of friends. Take a shot at this first book of a series of 3. You will not regret it.

I tried this book on the strength of the author's previous book, Behind the Green Curtain. I liked this one as well, and although they are two very different books, I have similar things to say about this one, which is that I enjoy her writing but am not really a fan of her plot twists. This book has two plot twists; the first one takes place about halfway through and is fine, but the second one takes place in the final pages of the book and I could have done without it. For a moment, it felt like the rug was pulled out from under me, and although the author put it back, it was rather jolting. I think things could have accomplished it in a different way. Having said that, her story flows, the characters are interesting, there is some humor, and I like her analogies and imagery.

An overall enjoyable read...although I will say that Kelsie's cirlce of friends, especially Kip and Melissa, kinda pissed me off with how pushy they were. Regardless, it was a nice read that made me smile, shake my head, and smile some more. I'm already downloading the next in the series.

This is the first novel I have read written by Ms LaShea but I am sure it will not be my last. I enjoyed the story very much. Give her a chance and I don't think you will be disappointed.

What a wonderful story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 20, 2013

I believe in Santa, always have. I say that first so that, if you think I'm crazy you can stop reading this now. There are very few moving lesbian Santa books, this is magical. Love the beginning, middle but especially the end. It's right up there with Mistletoe!!

This story is very cute. It's a refreshing take on Christmas magic. If you're looking for a delightful light read this is it. I don't often give five stars but this book deserves it. The characters are warm and wonderful. I highly recommend the read.

Fabulous hidden gems – read this trio of books!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

Usually, when I read books in a series, I take breaks between them. With this three book series I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to leave Kelsie and Co. , so read all three books one after another. Since I read them that way I think it’s only fair to review them altogether too…

Book 1 - Kelsie is the lone single girl in her group of friends. Her straight best friend Melissa is married to Jay, her other straight friend Doug is married to Ashley and gay Brian and Kip complete the happy couples around her. Kelsie’s madcap friends love and want the best for her so they make a Christmas wish for her perfect woman. When, the next day, she meet’s blonde bombshell Randa their wishes seem to be coming true. But then Kelsie takes a trip with Randa, has an accident and is rescued by another beautiful woman…therapist Laken. Might Laken, rather than Randa, be the answer to Kelsie’s own wishes?
Very sweet seasonal tale (set in Canada for a change). There are no huge surprises as it’s obvious to the reader early on who Kelsie should be with. That said, it’s really sweet (without being cringingly mushy) and well done. I can’t quite make up my mind about the mystical bit near the end. Some may love it though…read it yourself and find out!

Book 2 - Even better than the first book in my opinion. I previously said in my review of this author’s book ‘Club Storyville’: “I thought Radclyffe was the mistress of suppressed longing but Riley LaShea certainly gives her a run for her money here! The difference is that Radclyffe’s suppressed longing is nearly always largely sexual whilst LaShea’s feels like it’s truly a longing of the heart and soul.” Here, LaShea is masterful at piling on the longing of both the heart and soul AND the sexual. Kelsie and her love take Doug’s bet to wait as long as he waited for Ashley to consummate their passion (5 months). The sensual build up is fabulously done and when they do finally succumb, WOW, just WOW! I’ve never before read a sex scene where there is absolutely zero explicitness and crudity but which delivers so powerfully. A wonderful achievement!
Kelsie is a fascinating, complex character. She has a massive ‘chip on her shoulder’ regarding her origins (which I won’t spoil but which you’ll learn about as you read this series of books). In this she has to contend with an overly protective brother whilst also trying to sort out her own mother’s rocky romantic path (with largely unhelpful interference as usual from her gang of friends). As the title suggests, there are ultimately four proposals, but only one wedding…

Book 3 – A beautiful end to a beautiful series. Kelsie and her lover take a romantic trip abroad while she gets to know her lovers family (and has to face a number of challenges on the way). Just when things seem to be going ok, two unexpected events occur – her friends gate-crash the holiday and she meets an orphan who grabs a hold on her heart. This final tale is bittersweet but ultimately uplifting and whilst it doesn’t pan out in a predictable way you know Kelsie and her love are going to be ok.

You may have gathered by now that I loved this series and all the characters. It’s really well written romantic fiction and puts so much other stuff that’s out there to shame. I could happily read more about Kelsie and Co. Take note Riley LaShea: I’d love an update book maybe a few years down the line…?

This is yet another great read by this author who has now become one of my favourites.
Well written, endearing story and characters and so many chuckles my face hurt.
