Mayhem ensues under the mistletoe as a determined shopper grabs the very last hot toy action figure off the shelf, only to find herself plunged into the middle of a real-life spy game and in the arms of a sexy secret agent.

Previously published in the anthology Santa, Baby, HOT TOY is now available as a standalone e-story for the first time!

Read on for my thoughts on Hot Toy.  No true spoilers, promise.

Hot Toy is a really short story so do not look for a lot of character development in these few pages.  But… do expect to laugh yourself silly, snort embarrassingly and maybe even belly laugh a bit.

Trudy had no idea that trying to find one of the most popular toys for this Christmas season for her nephew would be so difficult – or so cutthroat either.  Man, some of these people out there are vicious in grabbing toys right out of your hands.

Toss in people you thought you knew but they are really far from what you ever expected… a crazy secret agent thing going on with hidden agendas …and mix that with a sweet romance and you have a laugh a minute experience.

Honestly, just take an hour sit back and dive right in for some much needed laughter this holiday season.  And maybe lower you head in embarrassment when you recognise yourself from your own desperate search for that must have toy that everyone else is after too.

Hot Toy is funny, charming and simply a slice of good old fashioned much needed Christmas cheer.  Go ahead and enjoy, you deserve it.

*I received an e-ARC of Hot Toy from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
