Undercover Santa
A Holiday Treat, with a Twist
When it’s Hallmark Christmas movie season and all you want is little suspense in your life, it’s nice to be able to snuggle in with a holiday novella by one of your favorite romantic suspense authors. And Undercover Santa by Blye Donovan definitely hit the spot. Because what do you get when you combine a lonely bakery owner with an undercover DEA agent, add a pinch of suspense, a dash of humor, a heaping helping of instalove, and some well-whipped up steam? You get a standalone, he-falls-first, holiday escape that’s sure to distract you from the reality of mall santas and long lines for gooey treats.
And it wouldn’t be a Blye Donovan tale without a twist. Because Tessa and Nick’s story isn’t all candy canes and sugar cookies. She’s a bit of a hard nut to crack at first, but he’s not the give up and move along type. And their HEA, while sweet and loving and wonderful, is not without the requisite romantic suspense peril. Donovan takes advantage of every word and moment to build the tension and the heat, bringing both her characters and her readers satisfaction.
Undercover Santa is a standalone novella and a great entry point to Blye Donovan’s writing. Enjoy the ride, then dive into her backlist. Her characters and their stories come to beautiful life in pursuit of their HEAs.
