4.3 out of 5 stars 277 ratings

Charlie discovers love amongst the tinsel. He falls for Santa, whilst Santa falls head over heels onto the floor.

Falling in love with Santa is the last thing Charlie Johnson expects when he takes a holiday job as an elf in Santa’s Grotto. Nick is the shyest and clumsiest man Charlie has ever met, but that’s just part of his charm.
Charlie falls for Santa, whilst Santa falls head over heels onto the floor. At least they can laugh together about it! But after several weeks, Charlie starts to despair he will ever be more than Santa’s helper.
His holiday job is nearly over, yet Nick hasn’t declared anything more than friendship. Will Charlie ever get his real Christmas wish?

    This was a super sweet, quick Christmas story. Nick loves playing Santa at the mall every year and he can't help falling, quite literally, for the new elf Charlie. As the holiday season goes on, these two get to know each other and eventually go out on a date. Nick and Charlie are adorable together. This story will make you laugh as well as tug at your heartstrings.

    An absolutely adorable tale of Santa, his elves, and a whole lot of clumsiness.
    Friendships are forged under the watchful eye of Head-Elf, while love and Christmas Magic unfolds.
    A cute, clean read.

    I love Sue Brown's books and I first read this novella in Stocking Stuffers vol 1 which had a bundle of holiday stories. I grabbed this gem when it was a holiday freebie because I love Charlie-Elf and Nick. Charlie is a college-student who has a holiday job as an elf in Santa's Grotto in the mall. He needs the extra cash to pay rent and purchase gifts for his mother and sister. He starts crushing on Nick the Mall Santa when he meets him but Nick is so clumsy that Charlie-Elf keeps watching him trip over his feet or other objects. Both men are so sweet, clumsy and adorable around each other as they secretly watch the other while having to deal with a Drill Sergeant as Head Elf. Very low-angst and sweet and romantic read ;) Hilarious and funny as well.

  • Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2017
    This was a very cute little Christmas story that is a fairly quick read. Charlie is an elf for the Christmas Santa. He needs this job to get some bucks to get his sister and mom their Christmas presents and pay rent. Nick is the Santa. both these guys are sweet and caring men. The head elf though is a drill sergeant with an unbreakable set of rules of his own and fires anyone who breaks them. Having a good friend adds to the story and Santa's clumsiness make things a disaster at times. There is mild angst and low heat, but you don't need it to make this story a good read. Enjoy.

    This book was so sweet.. Loved Santa and Charlie-Elf. Charlie was funny. I'm so glad he bonded with Katie-Elf. Having Santa be both hot and clumsy made for some funny moments. I couldn't wait for them to actually hook up. I actually liked that their first date wasn't perfect. It made things more interesting.

    Santa was so good with the kids. He made my heart feel good. Too bad Head-Elf had to be such an arrogant jerk. Somebody should have fired him. Maybe he can get his own book and be redeemed.

    This was a short quick read that I liked. Charlie Johnson takes a holiday job at Santa's Grotto where he falls hard for Santa. Nick is a shy and clumsy. Charlie is working to make money to pay is rent and to by Xmas gifts. The head elf in charge was a drill sergeant. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cheery Christmas read :)
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2017
    Charlie has taken a job as an Elf in Santa’s Grotto. Enter Santa, a rather tall but clumsy man who Charlie falls for. As time progresses, Charlie’s not sure if he will get to see who Santa is without the beard.

    This was one of those stories I couldn’t stop reading. Charlie was adorable, and the rest of the supporting characters were great. The Christmas Rules and Head Elf certainly made you feel as though you had to keep on my toes to make sure the grotto was run on schedule. The romance was quick, but you could tell that it was blossoming in the lead up to Christmas. It had a great happy ending, which I admit caused me to weep.
    I would love to have known more, and maybe seen more of how Charlie and Santa aka Nick, got on. Nick was a bit elusive to me, but the description was enough to whet my appetite and Charlie was smitten enough.

    This was a cheery Christmas ready which kept me entertained and got me into a festive mood.

    Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2020
    A light-hearted romp through a London Santa display and an elf meeting his first love. The tone is light-hearted but more as an observer. Reading Elf after everyone's name gets repetitious. As with every book there is a slip in proofing by referring to Nick and Santa rather than Charlie and Santa.
