Stuffed Stockings by K.A. Mitchell is a beautiful, Sexy Holiday Romance. I LOVED Lucas and Zane. They were so good together.

I Highly Recommend this book to all readers.

Lucas has a crush on Zane. Getting talked into the Secret Santa at work just wasn’t him but he decided to go for it anyway. When his Secret Santa starts giving him sexy, slightly kinky, then kinkier gifts, he hopes they are coming from Zane because he wants to use every single item on Zane’s gorgeous body.

This was a slightly different holiday story. Sweet, short, and like I said before, a bit kinky. Instead of naughty and nice it’s naughty and naughtier. Short enough that there wasn’t a lot of character development but in this case I’m ok with that. Definitely recommend if your looking for something quick and cute for the holidays.

KA Mitchell's Stuffed Stocking is a fun holiday read.
It's perfect when you're in the mood for a hot and spicy, quick read.

Coming in at around 90 pages Stuffed Stockings is a fairly short read that is very easy to read in one sitting which is a great thing because once I stared reading about these two I couldn't put it down! Lucas is shy and socially awkward with people he doesn't know well, he's not great at reading social situations and tends to be pretty oblivious when someone is flirting with him so he hadn't picked up any signals at all from his sexy colleague Zane. Zane on the other hand is much more confident and outgoing, he knows exactly what he wants and he sets out to get it by convincing Lucas to join in the company's secret Santa gift exchange.

In the run up to the holidays the secret Santa is supposed to leave two gifts a week for their partner and they'll only reveal who has been giving them the gifts at the office Christmas party. Zane has made sure he is partnered up with Lucas and let's just say the gifts get more and more kinky as the weeks go by! Lucas spends a lot of his time fantasising about using the gifts with Zane but in spite of the increased flirting he still isn't sure whether Zane is actually the one leaving the presents.

Stuffed Stockings was the perfect combination of really sweet and incredibly spicy. Yes, you have to suspend belief a little that colleagues would take quite so many risks with gift giving in the workplace but I was enjoying the story so much that I was able to completely gloss over that aspect. I loved both Lucas and Zane and really enjoyed getting to know them. Lucas had a hidden dominant side that was just waiting for Zane to bring out while Zane appeared super confident but had a more vulnerable side once you got to know him better. They made a ridiculously adorable couple but damn their chemistry was intense. The addition of the secret Santa gifts was perfect and I was just as eager to see what was inside each parcel as Lucas was! I would LOVE another story about this couple, not because their story felt unfinished but because I was having so much fun reading about them, either way I definitely need to check out more books by K.A. Mitchell.

A short, smutty, and kinky read--a trifecta and good addition to the Dirty Bits series. Glad to see more lgbtq characters are getting page time.

A fun, sexy holiday read. It was fun getting to know Lucas and Zane and their growing relationship. This story was a fun (and hot!) twist on the holiday gift exchange.

K. A. Mitchell has written a sexy, funny romance that will leave you wanting more. Totally loved this book. Great read! Would recommend

Lucas is working at a company where he has a huge crush on a man name Zane. I can totally understand him and his love for the guy, he's not only hot, he's also smart, funny and sweet. Without Lucas knowing it, Zane also has a crush on him but hasn't been able to do anything about it until now.

The idea behind the story is a kinky one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I
haven't read a book quite like this one, that was able to pull it off in
such a sexy and sweet way at the same time. To be completely honest, I was a gonner since the first gift *wink*

I loved the fact that both characters complemented each other so well outside work. In the relationship that they started forming, they knew what the other one needed and they didn't have a problem with it.

With BDSM stories I usually look for a more defined situation between both characters and the setting for the whole thing, in this case I didn't see that line so harshly defined but I believe that it suited the story perfectly. It's suppossed to be a short, sexy, Holiday story.

I would recommend this book for the writing, the relatable characters, the funny situations and because it warmed my heart to see the take that the author had on the intimate side of the relationship.

*2.5 stars*

A cute, smutty little short, but I thought the office setting mixed with BDSM to be a bit... confusing.

Would you send very, very explicit, BDSM-themed gifts to a coworker without A) Knowing they were interested, and B) Knowing if they are into kink? I didn't think so.

I really like K.A. Mitchell but Stuffed Stockings: A Sweet and Sexy Christmas Romance wasn't my favorite from her. I always have a hard time with novellas, with rare exception, and I struggled with my same issues as always here. It was too short for me to really buy the romance and not developed enough for me to get a full grasp on the plot and set-up. It just fell short in many ways.

I thought the sex was hot enough, and I liked the Christmas theme, but I left the book feeling vaguely dissatisfied. I love a sexy geek, but I felt that even that aspect was underwhelming. Better luck next time.

*Copy provided in exchange for an honest review*

Stuffed Stockings is like a mashup of a sweet Secret Santa/12 Days of Christmas office romance and an exploration into BDSM - and I'm not mad at it. I do think I would've enjoyed it more had we gotten both characters' perspectives; reading the story from just Lucas' vantage point made it feel very one sided (understandably so) and uneven. However, having just read a book (which was also an office romance ironically) where the story is told from just one character's perspective and that character was shy/slightly neurotic, thus heavily coloring the whole narrative of the story - I truly appreciated Lucas' characterization as a somewhat shy and subdued person (especially as he embraces a very alternate side of his personality). Overall, I did enjoy the book and will continue to look forward to reading more in the Dirty Bits imprint. 3 out of 5 wine glasses.

This was unbelieveably sweet. Like, really cute-sweet-rot your teeth. I like it a lot, mostly because it was so adorable. Leave it to K.A. Mitchell to give me a sweet and comfy ready for Christmas. Happy endings at the holidays... nothing better.

Rating 5/5

Whooooooo! Wow this was so damn sexy I need my own stockings stuffed! Mitchell has done herself a fantastic job well done!

Really enjoyable M/M Erotica with an engaging plot and steamy, kinky sex scenes. I thought the length was perfect for this piece and really loved the characters Zane and Lucas. Author Mitchell did a great job with the Christmas-theme, actually making it an important part of the plot. A really fun read.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

2.5/5 Stars.

This was an interesting read... not in a good way, though. I’m not really a fan of books that rely solely on smut (for me personally, if it’s something you enjoy than that’s alright as well) so this just didn’t do it. The romance was cute, but that’s about it.

Possibly my favorite holiday read this year. Short and sweet and HOT. Highly recommended you stuff this in your stocking!

I received a digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.

3.5 Stars Quick, steamy with a little kink, Stuffed Stocking is one of the dirty bits novellas from Carina Press. I liked the story and the characters and look forward to reading more.

Very sexy fun read. Just the amount of Heat to keep warm for a few hours.
I voluntarily review this ARC and the opinions are all mine.

This is part of Carina's Dirty Bits line, so it's a short, sex-centered story. And *phew,* if you ever wondered how accountants and office Secret Santa could be sexy? This is the book for you. There's a fair amount of kink, but as sexy as it is, the romance between the two heroes is really sweet. The book is also funny, which is something I really needed as I read it on Christmas Eve. Possibly the best that I've read so far in the Dirty Bits line.

This is another novella from the Dirty Bits collection. It is also one that I would have liked to be longer. I didn't feel like I got to know either character that well enough to buy their attraction. I also wasn't a fan of their BDSM relationship, especially at work during the office holiday party. That was kind of a bit off-putting. Why did everything have to happen at work? It was just a bit unrealistic for me

I've read previous full length books and novellas from this author, so I was looking forward to reading Stuffed Stockings. I loved the idea of a naughty secret elf, although the gifts were over the top and not office appropriate. I liked Lucas, and I enjoyed seeing his reactions to some of the 'gifts'. Zane was all over the place, so I'm not sure I ever really liked him. My main problem with this novella was there just wasn't enough content for me to become invested in the relationship or story. The bdsm element felt too forced for my tastes, and there wasn't much of a plot (other than gifting of sex toys.)

Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this novella. I really wanted to love it, but it turned out to be just okay.
