Cheeky Elf (Omega Christmas Elves Book 4) Kindle Edition
Elijah
None of my friends know my secret or anything about the family and community I come from. Not celebrating Christmas is only the beginning. If my family finds out that I’m working at the Barrington Christmas Market, I’ll be in so much trouble that the only way out would be marrying someone I hate.
Now the guy I’ve been dreaming of from afar is offering to help me…but does he really know what he’s getting into?
Barnaby
Elijah needs me, and if there’s one thing I know I’m really good at, it’s helping people in need. But helping nearly ruined my life once before. Can I take the risk of losing everything all over again? Or will it be different this time?
I think I might really love Elijah, and after what we share during a mini-heat, how could I possibly turn my back on him?
Cheeky Elf is the fourth in a series of novellas about the Barrington Christmas Market. It is a spin-off of the Bangers & Mash series and involves a group of omega friends and their misadventures, Heat Lightning pills being swallowed at the wrong time, a cult that doesn’t celebrate Christmas, a daring escape, an offer that’s really hard to refuse, and the best found family an omega could ever ask for.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024Prejudices and bullying twist me up in knots and make me want to rescue the persecuted. So this story nearly had me pacing the floor. Then to read that the author had lived in a similar community had tears falling. No wonder the emotions written in this one were felt so deeply.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023We finally get Elijah's story and what's behind his denial of his feelings for Barnaby. There is a lot behind it all and I enjoyed reading about it.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023Once again I am utterly charmed by Merry Farmer's writing, characterization and storytelling.
Just a year ago I discovered the first of the Brotherhood novels and got completely hooked. I loved Bangers & Mash, and look forward to the final book in this series, SWEET ELF.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023Elijah is an omega from a closed community that doesn’t believe in Christmas and doesn’t normally let members leave for any reason. They think he’s volunteering when in reality he’s working at a Christmas market to save money to escape. In the market he meets Barnaby, an alpha craftsman, who has a booth at the market. Together they have an instant connection but Elijah still has to figure out how to escape his community to live the life he has always wanted.
Omegaverse stories aren’t normally my genre but this was a cute short story, the Christmas theme was more of just a setting than part of the story but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The spice was present but not super engaging. Overall a decent novella but not my favorite.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023Elijah is up next in this sweet and steamy series! If you haven’t read the preceding stories, I highly suggest starting at the beginning to enhance the experience although it is not mandatory.
Elijah has been the standoffish and straightforward friend in the Christmas elf group. Now, we finally understand it’s because he is sneaking away from his “community” to earn enough money to escape it without anyone knowing. Needless to say, it’s got him a little…high strung.
Barnaby Snow is a total cinnamon roll of an alpha who we’ve met as a side character in previous books. He has a booth of his furniture at the Christmas market where Elijah works, and the pair have had chemistry from the beginning.
With as much trouble as the Heat Lightning pills have caused, you would think the omega elves would have thrown them out by now! When Elijah takes one on accident, it’s Barnaby to the rescue.
I consider this series fairly low angst and this story is no different. It has an emphasis on found family and community support for those who feel like they are all alone in impossible situations. The Heat Lightning scenes are face-meltingly hot, and they find their way to a HEA. This story is also a non-shifter omegaverse.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023'Cheeky Elf' is the fourth book in the ‘Omega Christmas Elves’ series. It stars Elijah, an omega, and Barnaby, an Alpha. This is told in first person from both Elijah and Barnaby’s povs.
Before reading this book, I’d read books two and three, so I had a pretty good idea of who the characters were and the series background. The blurb gives a good idea of what the plot is about so I won’t go into that much. What I liked about this story was that it covered the serious topic of cults, this wasn’t just a fluffy read. I was on the way to giving this story five stars, but something kept coming up that didn’t work for me concerning Elijah.
This book is titled, 'Cheeky Elf.' Quite often Barnaby refers to Elijah as ‘cheeky elf.’ The cover even shows an image of a happy-go-lucky, fun-loving elf. That couldn’t be further from the truth when referring to Elijah. In the previous books, Elijah is made fun of by his friends and other elves because he is so solemn, so fastidious, a bit controlling, works extra hard, and he doesn’t smile. He’s far too serious. He is not a cheeky elf. I have no idea why the author referred to Elijah that way or used the image of a happy model when that wasn’t Elijah at all. The cover model from 'Sassy Elf' would have worked better. All I can think, was the author wanted to continue the series with a cute theme so chose ‘cheeky’ for Elijah. But like I mentioned, no matter how many times the word was pushed on the reader by Barnaby, Elijah was not cheeky. I’d call him, ‘Solemn Elf’ or ‘Serious Elf.’ Elijah from the previous books and in this book is not consistent with the cover, or Barnaby’s description of him. Instead, the author forces readers to accept a description inconsistent with previous books and how Elijah behaves in this book. This is why I can’t give this the stars I wanted to give it originally.
Other than that, previous characters make a reappearance, there’s still problems with the mayor as he tries to sabotage Felix’s partner, Councilman ‘Hottie,’ and his plans for the Christmas event.
I liked 'Cheeky Elf' more than Books Two and Three, but the inconsistency with the cover model, and Elijah’s personality, not so much that he behaved differently, he didn’t, but that the author used Barnaby to push the narrative that Elijah was ‘cheeky’ when he wasn’t. Elijah was solemn, a bit bossy, and at times sad and fearful. He’s far from cheeky in this story. I still recommend this book. I’ve enjoyed all the stories so far. I give this, 4 Stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024'Elijah winced. “I can’t take advantage of you like that,” he said.
“You can and you absolutely will,” I told him in no uncertain terms. “You’re trying to do something big and scary, and you shouldn’t have to do that alone. I’m your friend. I’m here for you. I will always be here for you.”'
I loved this book. It's my favorite in the series so far. Good world building. I loved both Elijah and Barnaby and the connection between them. Their chemistry was sizzling. Elijah needed help and as much as Barnaby wanted to jump right in, he knew from past experience not to be too hasty and risk getting hurt again. Because of Elijah's upbringing and lies in a strict religious cult, he had a lot to learn and understand about the people outside of what he knew and there was a lingering danger from them that kept me hooked to the page. I couldn't wait to see how things would turn out. I was definitely the most emotionally invested in this story more than the earlier ones. 5 stars.
