The Elven Days of Christmas

By: A. K. Caggiano

Narrated by: Seth Podowitz, Ellen Quay

Piper MacLean’s Christmas is a ho-ho-horror show, but she’s used to all that by now, five years into becoming the de facto matriarch of the family—still single and childless, much to everyone else’s chagrin. But she does have one indulgence every year: finding the perfect Christmas tree.

While searching the national forest, Piper is led to a beautiful spruce by way of magic. Well, not actual magic—magic, of course, doesn’t exist—but it sure feels magical when she hears the voice of her deceased mother floating on the wintery winds, telling her just which tree to chop.

Unfortunately, that very tree actually is quite magical, and accounting for it is the last task that half-elf Kol needs to complete before turning in his annual reports to the Elven Perennial Association. When he discovers the pilfered spruce, he simultaneously finds that the only way to return order to the forest is to endure a human holiday alongside a grumpy and overburdened woman who does not want him around.

Kol doesn’t belong in Piper’s world, but it’s her fault that he’s there, so he doesn’t intend to make things easy for her and announces to her family that he’s her boyfriend, come to visit for Christmas. Surely, that’s the perfect cover for his presence and not at all the start to a ridiculous romance that will either tie up both of their hearts in pristine bows or rip them apart forever.

Ellen and Seth are incredible!!

Reread my favorite 5 star Christmas book from my favorite author! Seth and Ellen are once again spectacular and bring this story to life in a magical way.

Sweet and relatable FMC

I love this book so so much. I think it’s my favorite. The FMC is very relatable IMO and the way they work together so well is perfect. Not too much spice but just right for the story line.

Cute Christmas Story

I really enjoyed this. It’s not part of the Villains and Virtues universe despite the similar cover art. It takes place in The Vacancy Universe (the Association takes place there too), but you don’t need to read that series to get it. It’s just a cute Christmas story.

A K Caggiano’s Humor & Heart

A K Caggiano is a special author who tells stories filled to the brim with both humor and a healthy dose of heart. This adult Christmas story is no different. Like a warm wool sweater this seasonal story is all coziness and joy. Enjoy it like an extra present hidden under the tree, and then share it with someone you love.

Sweetest Love Stories

I’m obsessed with this author; her story-telling humor is reminiscent of Monty Python or William Goldman and the stories and characters are modern and sweet and spicy. I especially loved this “Christmas Special” standalone book, it hit all the right spots this season!
