About this item

Vampires, gingerbread and Christmas magic – what could possibly go wrong?

All I want is a perfect Christmas with great food, amazing friends and the love of my life by my side. The tree is decorated, the feast (cooked by a hearth witch!) is ready, and Connor’s home is buzzing with festive cheer. This year I can feel it: Christmas magic is within my reach.

Then Liv calls.

When a necromancer rings for a favour, you know it’s not about borrowing sugar. Throw in a car accident involving the town drunk and a mysterious gingerbread thief targeting poor Sigrid’s baking, and my carefully planned holiday is on the brink of collapse.

Can I juggle saving Christmas, helping my friends and making it back in time to celebrate the holiday of my dreams?

Join Bunny and Connor in this heartwarming, magical holiday tale packed with festive mischief, a sprinkle of mystery – and plenty of Christmas cheer!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun little story

This was great, a little Christmas gathering with no super villains or dangerous situations. It would be great if the author did another one for the Vernal Equinox to hold us over until the hag book. I like it when characters get a break sometimes to have fun without fearing for life and limb. :)

Bunny is excited to have her first REAL Alaskan Homemade Christmas with her smoking-hot beau Connor. The tree is decorated, lights twinkle, friends gather, and Gunnar's wife Sig is cooking! All that's missing is a mincemeat pie. Unfortunately, Bunny has volunteered to be on duty and gets a call, well actually 2 calls and an extra guest comes to dinner! This Christmas is like most celebrations ~ mounds of food, exchanging of presents, quarrels & bickering, and so much love! This Cozy Christmas gave me happy tears and joy and the sweetest gift of all!! Book available December 13

A fun Christmas story with the Portlock series characters. The mystery thief made me laugh. And in typical Liv fashion, she made me smile with her antics. I love with the whole family gets together like this. ????

I love Bunny. In this book we get to see her in a relaxed setting showing compassion and enjoying life. I also greatly enjoyed seeing a new vulnerable side of Liv! Sig’s compassion and ability to forgive someone who has done her harm and continually hit on her husband it unfathomable. This was a wonderful Christmas story!

This is a lovely Christmas novella with lots of food, plenty of friends, a dash of drama, a smidge of mystery, and a whole heaping helping of heart! It made me wish I could celebrate Christmas with Bunny, Connor, Fluffy, Shadow, and all of their friends!

For someone who doesn’t like holiday-themed stories, I’ve sure been reading a lot. But what is a reader supposed to do when her favorite authors write them? LOL! Anyway, two Bunny stories came out right together and I was so darn excited to be back with Bunny. She’s such a vulnerable yet strong character, soft yet able to do the difficult things, and capable but willing to admit when she needs help, and I can’t help but love her. Add in the other characters, great storylines, fun plots, and such wonderful descriptions, I can’t help but love all of these books including this short story. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
