#BookReview – “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus” by Debbi Rawlins

Santa wears a skirt?

Noah Spenser felt like a fool sitting on Santa’s lap. But his seven-year-old daughter, Mindy, had insisted. However, when he noticed that this Santa had padding in unexpected places, he wasn’t so anxious to leave. Especially when the only thing he wanted for Christmas was a new mother for Mindy….

And Jill Morgan, a.k.a. Kris Kringle, might just be the gift he was hoping for. She was vivacious, spontaneous…and needed a place to stay. What man wouldn’t help a gorgeous redheaded Santa in need? Unfortunately, Jill wasn’t the settling-down type. So how could Noah talk her into parking her sleigh on his roof for good?

Review

Jill Morgan is on the run.
Her boss, Maury, is super mad she made a bank deposit earlier than usual, and
his strange “family members” are now in town. When his mob henchmen corner her
in the local mall, she has no choice but to put on a Santa costume and talk to
the kiddies.
Noah Spenser is understandably
upset that the strange, wimpy Santa has taken a special liking to his daughter,
Mindy. Once he realizes it2527s a female
Santa, he2527s not as freaked but still cautious. The woman has secrets and he can
tell she2527s in trouble. When Mindy invites her home and Mrs. Claus accepts, he
knows his orderly little world is about to change forever.
Jill and Spenser are
great, well-developed characters. She2527s wild and free-spirited while he2527s
proper and responsible. Sexual tension sparks as they get to know one another
and learn to trust.
There are a few loose ends
but nothing of overall importance. For example: we don2527t know why Spenser2527s ex-wife
didn2527t want joint custody of their daughter, and we don2527t find out if Spenser2527s
mom will come to approve of Jill.
This is a sweet story and
one of the funniest romances I2527ve read in a while. I2527ve read it before when I
was younger, so I kept it around (letting it collect dust for almost two
decades) and decided to reread it. It2527s an older book, from 1997, but I really
enjoyed it.
