My summary: Lucy owns a sweet bakery called Sweet Inspiration known for making some of the best sugar cookies ever. Nicholas is a master pastry chef that tours the world studying and perfecting confections.

This is the story of the sparks that fly when Nicholas decides to seduce Lucy for more than her sugar cookie recipe.

Oh did I forget to mention Nicholas just happens to be the oldest son and heir to the Santa Claus throne?

What they say: "What if the legend of Santa Claus is in fact, true?

What if Santa has five big strapping sons who help him run his empire? Five single, sexy sons looking for romance...

One look at cafe owner Lucy Brewster sends Nicholas into an unexpected tailspin of lusty desires. When Lucy is injured, Nicholas makes a decision that catapults their lives into turmoil. Lucy gets more than she bargained for when she awakens in the North Pole...rambunctious elves, a fitness-obsessed Santa, and the man of her dreams."

My say: Sweet Inspiration is one wild fun hot ride. I was sucked in from the moment Penny Watson first described Nicholas Jr. as smelling like "smoky rum and dark spices". Yum much!? Well and I love any writer who can bring my senses to life and use a word like "reverie". This story honestly has all the elements a gal would want from a romantic Christmas story.

Deliciously vivid descriptions and word usage?: Check

A plot that includes a trip to the North Pole?: Check

Adorable characters you will wish you could meet in real life?: Check

My rating: 4 stars; I really enjoyed this story.

My verdict: If you are looking for a delectable playful Christmas read (and don't mind provocative) pick this one up. It SO cute and loads of fun.

Favorite part?: Getting to drink and play darts with some ornery elves.

The Meter Readings:

Kiddie-o-meter: Too spicy for the wee ones.

Adult-o-meter: This one leaves nothing to the imagination. It is written for grown girls who relish all the juicy details of attraction and love making. Side note: the super hot Klaus brothers banter and occasionally curse amongst each other just like real guys do.

Quoteables: "He tasted like Christmas. Brandy, cloves, and dark molasses. His tongue was doing slippery, sexy things to her mouth that were simply unbearable."

"Lucy watched, mesmerized. His beard was thick and dark and neatly trimmed. What would it feel like? Coarse and rough, or silky smooth? Without thinking, she reached out to touch his face."

Noteable: My favorite part of this book is the Klaus brothers who help Santa run his empire. Each alluring brother runs a different branch. Click on their names below to read the hilarious character interviews Penny Watson has put together of each one:

Oskar Klaus = The slightly punk brother = Employee relations

Sven Klaus = The hippie brother = Toy production

Gregor Klaus = The expensive suits brother = Financial relations

Wolfgang Klaus = The humanitarian brother = Charitable gifts

Nicholas Klaus = The master chef brother = Desserts and goodies

Warning: This story will make you SO hungry. Keep the gingerbread men handy!

My final say: I can't stop thinking of Wolfie. He is definitely my favorite.
