Santa’s been granting wishes in the VIP lounge for over a century. It’s time for some wish fulfillment of his own.
I love my job, really, but lately it’s been … boring. The most interesting thing to happen in months is when a college student days from graduation marches into the bar to fix his virgin problem.
I turn him away, of course. I don’t do virgins or other vampires. Those are my rules.
Then, his friends ditch him without a phone or wallet and leave him at the mercy of the club’s vampires. I don’t know why I step up, but I can’t leave him there. I’m known for taking in strays, and that's all he is.
Or is he? Beneath Boz’s snarky exterior is a sweet and sensitive man. I never expected someone like him to turn my head, but he’s the closest I’ve come to my wish for a happy relationship since I became a vampire.
I’m not the only vampire interested in Boz, though. His boss wants to hire him permanently, if you know what I mean, but some of her employees have other ideas. To get my greatest desire, I risk blowing my cover to the most dangerous vampire in the world.
What, you didn’t think Santa was my real name, did you?
Santa's Wish is a male/male romance between a centuries old vampire sex worker and a human virgin with a master's degree from MIT. Both characters are consenting adults and no payments exchange hands. Despite the vampire nature of the book, this is still a sweet and spicy Christmas romance. Content warnings for violence and death/turning of a main character.
Santa is a 200 year old vampire, bored and employed as a sex worker in a VIP Room in a vampire bar in Boston. Enter one 24 yr old nerdy virgin, recently graduated from MIT, whose two friends get him drunk and abandon him at the bar taking his keys, phone and wallet. This is all in a ploy to get him laid. Santa finishes his shift at the bar at last call and finds Boz, pretty drunk, manhandled by a vampire who is trying to get him out the door. Santa has a bad feeling and steps in to save Boz, taking Boz home with him instead. On the way, he learns that Boz has been hired as a forensic accountant by Imperial which is owned by the Western Hemisphere Vampire Empress. And she intends to turn him within six months. Santa’s original promise to Boz to show him the best time while losing his virginity, but not when he is drunk, is upended when he learns Boz’s life is at stake by the work he is doing at Imperial. As he digs into accounts that show nefarious actions by one company department, he attracts the bad guy’s attention. And they want to get to him and either kill him or turn him before the Empress can, making Boz their slave and destroying his digging into their embezzling. As Santa devotes himself to protecting Boz as well as teaching him the wonder of great sex, he finds himself falling for the young accountant. Santa’s outgoing happy persona hides the depression he has felt for years but Boz makes him happy even though at 200 he never thought he would fall in love. A very meet-cute weird holiday vampire romp with lots of danger, a kidnapping, and eventually a happy-ever-after
Santa & Boz Quite an interesting and thrilling adventure story. I was not expecting it to be so action-packed and somewhat nerve-wracking. I enjoyed the developing relationship between Boz & Santa though, because it was clear Boz greatly intrigued Santa. They had an interesting way of interacting, but their banter was fun, even sweet at times. The initial arrangement between Santa & Boz was funny, because both of them seemed so hesitant at first to even consider it, but their pull toward one another made fighting against those emotions challenging. Santa constantly felt the need to spend extra time with Boz and wanting to take care of him, even with something as simple as having food delivered to him.
Though Boz was essentially pulled, almost seduced, into the world of vampires and shifters, he remained strong in the face of the danger that was thrown his way, and he was able to use his natural charm with his friends and coworkers, who helped assure him he was making he right choices, despite the danger.
Overall, I really enjoyed Santa's Wish, especially since I didn't know what to really expect with the story, but I was pleasantly surprised. I love the way Edie writes these paranormal/fantasy beings, as they always have an edge to their personality that can make them weird, but also ones that you want to know. I haven't read the first book in the Weird AF Vampires series yet, but I know I'll have to check in with it, because the characters are so much fun.
I received an advance copy of this book and am volunteering my honest review.
WOW! The author really did an amazing job with this story. It draws you in and keeps you hooked.
Santa and Boz are complete opposites but they are so right for each other. Santa is like a grinch, not letting anyone in, and always staying under the radar but when he meets Boz, something different happens for him. Santa knows that he may be out from under the radar if he spends more time with Boz but he is willing to take that chance. He decides to help Boz with his goal but he wants it to be done the right way.
Boz has one goal before he graduates college and he listens to his boys when they say they know the place for him to go and when the vampire rejects him because of him being a virgin, he gets drunk. He doesn’t expect to see Santa again but he does and he doesn’t want to waste a second. When Santa asks him out on a date, he can’t refuse.
The more time they spend together, the more things change for both of them. Santa and Boz encounter dangerous situations and a mystery to solve. This brings them closer but also very cautious. They have to count on others for help but most of all be there for each other. The hot scenes between them could make you need a fan and the connection you feel between them shows something is there.
Such a great read and one that is also sweet. Who says Christmas wishes don’t come true.
Santa and Boz meet when Boz's classmates take him to Fanglory. Santa refuses to take Boz into the VIP room because he doesn't do virgins. Boz is left behind without his wallet. Santa ends up saving Boz from a bad situation and then takes him back to his campus dorm. Due to Boz's new job Santa helps him out with housing and a lot more. It doesn't take long before these two are hanging out and then burning up the sheets. Someone is doing their best to take out Boz. Santa and Boz's co-workers band together to protect him but even this isn't enough. This someone is going to get Boz and have his revenge in the process. Will Santa be able to stop him before he hurts Boz?
This is a really interesting fantasy/romance with some Christmas elements. Santa and Boz worked for me because they saw each other for who they really are. I liked that Boz didn't feel threatened by Santa's job or ask him to quit. I liked that there were times they just hung out together and did everyday things, like date and watch TV. I liked how the mystery resolved. I really liked where Santa and Boz ended up. The world and character building are good. The chemistry between Santa and Boz felt authentic. The story held my attention all the way through. This was a nice day spent reading.
Entertaining tale leading up to Christmas with vampire Santa granting sexual wishes in the club VIP lounge and Boz brought to him to take his v-card. Santa refuses, but later rescues Boz in more ways than one as Boz begins working for the empress in the financial office, trying to track down embezzlers (he’s really good at maths), putting his life at risk. Santa is there to protect and defend Boz, and both fall in love as a side benefit.
Creative characters (never really read a Christmas sex worker vampire romance before, and Boz is the quintessential clumsy nerd with killer math skills), an office full of shifters and vampires with Boz the only human, alternate sleep schedules (because vamps vs humans, right?), daily runs to the local drive-in Blood Drive for flavored blood to-go, ballroom dance contests, and dispatching a vampire or two to keep things interesting. Witty, sexy, hot and action-packed, this is a fun read for the season.

This is the first book I have read from Edie Montreux. This is part of the Weird AF Vampires Series. Their is happiness, weariness, unexplainable pulls, angst, self-doubt and love.
V!rgin Hurt/Comfort S$x Worker MM Paranormal Human and Vampire
Santa has an unexplainable pull to the human Boz. Boz is a recent graduate from MIT and went to work for a vampire accounting firm and before he starts working someone is out to hurt him.
Will Santa be able to keep Boz safe until he is turned into a vampire? Will Santa figure out the pull he has to Boz? What will Boz uncover at work to make someone want to hurt him? This is an awesome book, I refused to put it down until I finished late in the AM. Let's finish reading to find out.
Santa and Boz's story was really entertaining. This, being a romance novel, has a very interesting plot with action, kidnappings and a very angry Santa. The book is well written and you can understand the world where the characters live easily. Their dialogues are fun and the smut is great to. We see glimpses of Key and Harley from Grave Throbbing and some other entertaining secondary characters. Santa journey to accepting being in love is heartwarming and Boz is his perfect other half. One thing I really dig in this book is how sex work is approached. Don`t miss this weir AF vampires!.

I didn’t realize it was a companion book to Grave Throbbing at first. These books are definitely different and a little bit weird, but that is the point. The character of Santa confused me in the beginning. Not sure why. Boz is a sweetheart who hasn’t got a clue what he is getting into. He is going to get a vampire education much faster than he is expecting. Santa and Boz shouldn’t work together but they do. Santa needed a new spark for life that he found through knowing Boz.

I loved this book! This is book 2 in the Weird AF Vampires series, however I didn’t know this before reading and I had no problems while reading. I loved this book so much that I couldn’t put it down. I was so intrigued by Santa’s character and how he and Boz interact. Their relationship was so fun! I enjoyed watching them grow, their relationship deepen, and learn more about who they are. I loved the world created in this story and all the side characters were great. This a fun, spicy, and a little violent holiday story. I hope there are more stories in this world!

I loved reading this book with Santa working in a club and building special equipment, Santa grants wishes to some. A few college students walk into the club with exams coming up one of the students wants to loose his virginity before he starts working. Boz was left at the club on his own and the guys they took his wallet so he needed to get back to the dorms, Santa decided to give him a lift. The chemistry between them was sweet.

Santa (secret identity) has become somewhat jaded. Not surprising after spending so much time being a vampire. Meeting Boz has him feeling protective and intrigued. Boz is just a sweet guy with a snarky exterior. He doesn't know it yet but his new job has put him in the sights of a very dangerous situation. Thankfully with Santa and his friends by his side, he's able to stay alive. I really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop, it felt natural and organic. There's fast-paced action, danger and mystery.
Bored vampires come up with some of the best stuff! I love that he comes up with all these holiday-themed contraptions to keep himself from getting too maudlin. LOL There are some heavy topics...Boz's "friends" are absolutely on the naughty list for being complete a-holes, but they are handled well. I 100% enjoyed this book, and the spice level was scorching hot.

A sex worker vampire and a human virgin meet and may be the answer to centuries of sadness and loneliness for Santa and may be the one male that Boz can be comfortable around and feel loved. A different take on vampires where they are open and accepted by most humans.

i loved it. great world building and i loved how Santa actually took his time and got to know Boz and didnt rush it. even they both had issues they each worked through them and at times together, im glad they got their hea and everything worked out for everyone. cant wait for more keep up the great work.
I liked the concept, I liked the personalities of each person - Boz and Santa. I liked their dynamic as well. For whatever reason it just didn’t move me like I hoped. I wasn’t super invested somehow but I did get to the end. Somehow it just wasn’t for me. I don’t know if it was the conflict not being enough. Anyways, good concept, just not for me.
Santa and Boz are extremely smexy together but what I like most about this series is the depth of the world. The story of them getting together isn't too angsty or too fluffy but a great xmas romance with a deep and flushed out world surrounding it.
I loved everything about this story. The love that these characters shared wasn’t normal but it wasn’t wrong in the same way. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves mm romance stories of all types.

I absolutely loved this story. I just wanted to hug them both. Poor Boz went through so much and he definitely deserved his HEA with his own personal Santa. This was a fantastic story.
Santa's Wish is the second book in the Weird AF Vampires series. I love the MCs in this story. Santa took great care of Boz. They were perfect together.

The vampires were really strange, but that turns out to be part of the series haha. It took some getting used to, but very surprising. The world it takes place in and the places are very nice. There is a clear plot and a lot happens in the book, so definitely recommended
Not exactly what I usually read, but I gave it a shot. It was a pretty good read a page Turner and definitely a naughty Santa. I would recommend it if you like this kind of book in this gentry.
