About the author

Ivy Nelson writes delicious contemporary romance with kinky sassy heroines you wish could be your best friend. Club Solitaire is her favorite fictional place to hang out in, and she spends most of her free time spinning tales set there and in spinoff clubs like Solitaire Mansion.
Ivy is an active member of the kink community and strives to write authentic kink while still meeting reader expectations. Above all else, Ivy writes characters she loves and puts them into worlds she would want to live in. That means sassy, kick-ass women, and protective partners who know when to step in and when to step back.
Ivy currently lives in Las Vegas with her husband of eight years and their son. She loves walking the Las Vegas strip with a margarita, binge watching Criminal Minds for glimpses of Shemar Moore's bare chest, and getting emails from readers. When she isn’t writing, she’s probably reading something dirty or asking her closest readers what that side-character's name was because they remember better than she does.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLance and Marissa are attending her party for her new company. Things are busy but Lance has his temp assistant making the moves on him. Marissa has a jealous streak so she wants her gone. They both realize that things need to change. Though they don't know that Jill is passing things to the tabloids. They manage to get through the party and will be heading to Club Solitaire for the x-mas party. This is where the fun begins.
Marissa had hoped they would have a x-mas wedding but it's not looking like that will happen. Lance has a surprise in the works that he enlists the other Doms' help. He wants to make her wishes come true. Marissa loves her Dom completely.
They have a great relationship and things are complete at Club Solitaire family. They all have fun and laughs and of course things are steamy. Lance and Marissa make the commitment to return every month or as often as possible. It's great reading about all the Doms and subs.
Ivy Nelson has written a great x-mas series. It'll be interesting to read the last of the x-mas trilogy since Samuel returns with his sub. Definitely recommend this book to be read. The x-mas books are all to be loved as well as the Diamond Doms series. Read, read, read them.
I received an ARC of this book, also purchased book and am volunteering to leave an honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA little duplicative from book 1 but so glad Lance and Riss got their HEA. You get a chance to visit with old friends and see that some things are just the same everywhere. A quick feel good story with a little Ds
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2020Format: KindleI am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book. Ivy Nelson writes such good plots in her stories, there is enough excitement and drama to keep you going all the way to the end of the book. I liked this book and the characters were amazing. This author writes interesting and entertaining books that are fun and has an edge to them. This is a page turner with twists and its gets even better as you continue reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI just love this series and this novella was so very good. Lance and Marissa are so perfect together and they got a nice ending, even though it wasn't exactly as they expected. I just wish this author could write as fast as I can read!
I received a copy of the book from the author, and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I had already pre-ordered the book anyway but was happy to get access to it a few days early.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAnother awesome book. Loved the storyline and the subject of the book. Lots of hotness. Well recommended to get and read.
I received this book (ARC) free for a honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024Format: KindleI am absolutely loving this Christmas series about the gang at Club Solitaire. I like how they are all happening at the same but different things for each couple all while trying to help on of their own. Lance and Marissa's story was wonderful and I have always like the dynamic between them. Looking forward to the next book.
I read this through my kindle unlimited subscription
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2020Format: KindleI think I have a new favorite dynamic couple--Lance & Marissa
Lance loves Marissa with all of his being and the same can be said about Marissa loving Lance.
They are engaged to be married but with the new start up of Marissas company under Moss Tech, their romance life has been on hold for a while.
With that being said, Marissa is getting a little more vocal and wound up than Lance believes is totally necessary.
Lance has his way of bringing Marissa back to where she belongs and honestly wish my husband can do that to me when I go off on a tangent as easily as he does.
Between gossip garbage magazines blowing up with untrue stories to an employee making a play for Lance in the office; they definitely need a Solitaire type vacation.
I I devoured this book as I do with all of her books.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have....can not wait to find out what happens with Tamara and her problem in the next book.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020Format: KindleMarissa and Lance are engaged and planning a wedding. Marissa has always wanted a Christmas wedding, but it does not look promising this year. They had a deal with another company, but the tabloids ran a story that Marissa and Lance have broken up. Even though that is not true, the owner backed out of the deal. A devious temp employee leaked the story to the tabloids. She is a gold digger and was trying to get Lance. This is a very good story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy, sweet and special
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLance and Marissa's story adds a something special to the Solitaire Christmas. They lost each other for 5 years, but this time it's for keeps. Lance moves heaven and earth to show his girl just how much he loves her by arranging a Christmas wedding. However, the weather in Colorado has other plans and rather than disappoint her, he schemes with his fellow Doms and comes up with something that might just top what he had previously planned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Loved it!!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAction packed, sexy, fun, engaging and emotional adventure filled with danger, suspense and undeniable passion... an edge of your seat read from beginning to end and so hard to put down. Really enjoyed the characters I got to know on this journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaser
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI think I liked this story. It isn't really what I expected, but it was entertaining. The story caries on from the original story in the series. Luckily they ended up married at the end. Half the story at least happens at Solitaire, the BDSM club... they spend a lot of time in Chicago in the beginning of the story...
