Summary : Let us meet Luke Smith . He is a good looking but slightly scarred Army veteran finally out of the military , joined by his pet dog Rocky . He is excited because he is going to be meeting up with his fiance , or at least he was but he gets to the airport and she doesn’t show . Turns out she decided to break up with him over the phone . Well damn , not a great start to the Christmas season but he decides to make the most of it by going to the local tourist holiday spot that he was originally planning on going to with his lover anyways . Then disaster strikes again , his car gets stuck in the snow on the way there . Things aren’t all bad though , Rocky sees a village nearby and leads Luke toward it . He gets there and it turns out to be a Christmas themed town with the locals in elaborate Christmas elf costumes and is almost entirely women . Or at least he thinks it’s all costumes because it turns out the guy accidentally walked into another dimension filled with actual Christmas elves and these elves have a problem . You see , they need a human male to become king so they can have babies ( hey I didn’t make the rules ) but they also know that humans tend to scare easily so they decide to pretend that they are pretending to be elves … hijinks ensue !

Review : I’m going to say this real quick , I don’t really read a lot of slice of life books . The pacing usually comes off as too slow and not a whole lot tends to happen . That’s not a problem with this book however as the plot actually kicks off pretty quickly and manages to keep my attention . Part of it is the fantasy setting , another is the fun if not serious story , and of course enough spicy scenes to populate a small country . The book also nails the Christmas vibe for the most part creating this weird but enjoyable balance between erotica and wholesomeness . So I recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing read this Christmas season .
