About this listen

This Christmas, a hot fireman makes a holiday rescue and sparks fly in this sizzling holiday short story by bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur.

When Everleigh Dangerfield’s baking disaster necessitates a call to 911, firefighter Griffin Brantley douses the flames in the kitchen, but the ones he stokes in Everleigh are an entirely different story. Unfortunately, Everleigh’s only visiting and doesn’t do casual hookups, no matter how smoldering the temptation. But Everleigh’s holiday mishaps have just begun. And Griffin is seemingly always on call. If Everleigh is game for a change of plans, he can give her the merriest Christmas of her life.

Alexandria Bellefleur’s Merriment and Mayhem is part of Under the Mistletoe, a collection of sexy December romances to warm the cold winter nights. They can be read or listened to in one swoony sitting.

This was a great, cosy Christmas novella! I recommend if you want something short and festive and spicy!

“You think you’re real cute, don’t you?” In the blink of an eye, his smile turned sly. “Better question is, do you think I’m cute?” 💛

Merriment and Mayhem is easily my favourite of this mini series so far. Honestly, what’s not to love about a firefighter romance wrapped up in festive chaos? Everleigh and Griffin had such natural chemistry and I loved how their connection felt playful, flirty and surprisingly heartfelt for such a short read.

Alexandria Bellefleur really knows how to balance spice with warmth and this novella delivered both. It was quick, cosy and very enjoyable, perfect for slipping in between longer books. The holiday setting added just enough magic and Griffin was exactly the kind of MMC I love in a novella: confident, charming and completely gone for the FMC. Such a fun read.

Now this is more along the lines of what I was expecting from this series of festive novellas. It had some good humour, it was cute and the spice didn't make me cringe. Everleigh & Griffin were fun characters with good banter and chemistry. 🌶🌶

Yet another author from this short series that l'll be checking out in the New Year. I liked the writing style, I liked the lovely heart-warming story and I liked the spice.
You can't get much characterization done in 50 odd pages, so I won't hold that against the author, though there were veins of grief as a topic in the story.

Cute!
