Bookstore owner Caron Avery needs to repay her business loan from her grandmother. Helping out with a charity celebrity fashion show dressed as Audrey Hepburn will get needed publicity—and hopefully, sales—for the store, despite her inhibitions. When she runs into millionaire bachelor Baxter Remington before the show, she has no idea their encounter—with her in pink sweats and no makeup—might lead to more. Everyone knows he prefers blondes. Then, Caron learns that instead of Audrey, she will star as Marilyn Monroe, leaving her no choice but to live out her wildest fantasies—on the runway and in the billionaire's arms.

Lisa Renee Jones has written a scorching hot romance between a woman who is challenged to let go of her inhibitions and a man who is challenged to prove he's in for more than a one-night stand. In many ways, SANTA, BABY provides more romance than imagined, a nice surprise for the reader, but the wraparound story told only through the prologue and epilogue is completely unnecessary and a bit confusing. Tear those pages off and read the rest to find a delightful—and sizzling—holiday tale.
