The Twelve Hot Days of Christmas

About this book

Unwrap a very naughty kind of holiday cheer. The Twelve Hot Days of Christmas takes the song you have sung since childhood and gives every verse a sensual, ribald makeover, with twelve original erotic tales, one for each day. From a lonely newcomer to Vermont and her very first Christmas tree in Dahlia Schweitzer's "A Partridge in a Pear Tree", to Brandi Woodlawn's imaginative take on the golden rings and Cecilia Tan's interpretation of the seven swans, each story reinterprets a familiar lyric with wit, heat and a generous helping of creative license. The season is full of cooking, cleaning, shopping, wrapping and travelling, and there is rarely any time left for you. Edited by Lori Perkins and first published as a Ravenous Romance original in December 2009, this anthology is meant as a little indulgence just for you: playful, festive and unapologetically adult. Whether you read a story a day through the twelve days or devour them all in one cosy evening, it is a perfect escape from the holiday rush. With around 52,000 words across a dozen tales, there is plenty to enjoy by the fire. Buy now and start reading online instantly in your browser, with no waiting and no download required.
