I read this as a standalone even with the warning not to but I don't think it was that bad. You got the information you needed for this story but didn't have all the back story. The Alexander's seem to be an amazing family and I am definitely interested in continuing with the series.

You will never ever go wrong with a Minx Malone book, and definitely not one about the warm and loving Alexander Family, and the entire family and their friends are back in this novella. The Alexander family series reminds me of Francis Ray's Taggart/Falcon/Graysons of New Mexico/Grayson's Friends series. This book focuses more so on Elliott Alexander and Kaylee Wilhelm!! No matter how much Eli tries to deny how much Kay gets to him, he just can't fight the feeling. I love the internal battle th...

Was this a novella or just a teaser for the next book?

This was a free book, and the author said it wasn't meant to be a stand a lone book. I didn't feel like buying the other two books in the series, and I couldn't find them at the library. I wasn't crazy about this book.

Love it. January why aren't you here yet

This is the second book in this series that I have read, and I am hooked. I can't wait to read the rest of the books. Julia and her husband was able to give her sons a glimpse at what true love looked like each and every day. Now her sons are grown, and some have families of their own. It was so delightful to see the whole family get together for Christmas. I read the books out of order, but I think each book is about one of her sons. This book was about the sparks of romance stating between Kay...

All I Want - Elliot and KayleeThis is a good short story. It actually gives a highlight into how they come to know each other. Kaylee Wilhelwm is an only child who spends her days working and her evenings with her parents who disapprove of her choice of careers. Elliot Alexander has a private security that is one of the best in the country. He and one of his men had been security for her. He and his brothers were all home for Christmas and were having fun at his expense. This story gives you jus...

cute little short story and intro into the next book. also nice just to catch up with all the previous characters.

The entire time I was reading this book, I kept wondering who these characters were and why I should even care about them. Then I reached the end and realized that this was part a series, and this book was a little Christmas story that had been thrown between two other books in the regular series.Ahh...so that's why there was zero description or character building. No wonder I was confused.So yes, my bad for not realizing that this is part of a series before I read it. To make up for this transg...

Very short story telling of how two characters long for each other but think the other is out of their league...they share a mistletoe kiss and almost start forever....then it ends on a cliff hanger. This is an addition to a series of books, I did not read, was told it is not stand alone...even tho I agree...it was still very enjoyable as I am sure the other books will be also!

I bought this Christmas collection last year but never got around to reading them so now is the perfect time. All new authors and new stories for me, I might be a bit lost with some. I find this is a great way of discovering new series's to read.Christmas with the Alexanders is one novella I felt lost with while I was reading as this is part of a series I have not read so I did not know anyone.Kay spends Christmas Eve with the Alexander family after an accident she has always had a crush on Eli

Not a full book more of teaser. This excerpt serves as a segue between books.

Now, I really like this one. It was much nicer than the first book in the series.

A sweet quick intro to the next book focusing on Eli and Kay.

This was shaping up to be a great story but it turned out to be basically a prologue. It was disappointing.I hate it when books advertise as books but are just meant to whet the appetite so you will buy the profile and the book and you end up paying twice as much for what should have been a single book

This was one short but sweet Christmas story. It was however a teaser leading into the January release of the full love story of Eli and Kaylee. It does have all the things you want a true Christmas story to have. It has love, family, emotions, suspense, and the unknown. Most of all it has you smiling just like all of the other Alexander family books. You still feel the family closeness and love. Kaylee and Eli’s relationship has been anything but smooth due to their age difference he is 30 and

A sweet and perfect continuation.

Read as part of the Naughty & Nice Holiday collection. Have not read the other books but will give them a try after this novella. It does end with unresolved issues and the next book is already out that features Kaylee and Elliott so I shall see what happens next. Good overall, easy read with enough back story that I wasn't lost reading it.

This is the perfect novella! Nothing like pulling at your heart strings! I am addicted to the Alexander Series and this is such a great preview to what we are in store for! This family is so dynamic you can't help but feel like you're apart of the love too! The Alexander in question.... Mr. Elliot! Omg, he exudes yumminess! I CANNOT wait for January. I think I say in every review that the couple in question is my favorite, but I really really like Kaylee and Elliot! I hope things work out for th...
