*Amazon Top 100 Bestseller*

I got pregnant from a one-night-stand with my worst enemy
Then I walked into the office to find out he was my new boss...

In my defense, I hadn’t planned on having anything to do with Hunter Whittington again.
So what if his jaw can cut glass, his gaze is piercing and he has a body that haunted my dreams.
Our values are contradictory.
Our principles are contrasting.
Our upbringing couldn’t be more different.
He’s the entitled Oxbridge educated billionaire on track to become the leader of the country.
I’m the daughter of a shopkeeper, who by sheer determination rose to become a PR specialist.

We hated each other on sight.
Couldn’t spend time in the same room without getting into a fight.
Until we find ourselves double-booked...
...in the same house over Christmas.

What’s worse there’s only one bedroom.
And a snowstorm brewing outside.
Then the electricity goes out...
Only the chemistry between us takes off.

Unable to keep our hands off each other we make a pact...
...to spend one night together.
We wouldn’t speak about it afterwards.
Not to each other, not to the world.
We’d pretend it never happened.

Except for the pink line across the test in my hand...

This is Zara and Hunter’s story. A true enemies to lovers stand alone romance. Features a feisty, determined-to-stand-up-for-herself beauty and the grumpy billionaire who’ll tame her and lose his heart in the process. Guaranteed to give you all the feels, along with the grand gestures and the HEA you crave! 1-Click NOW

Tropes: Enemies to lovers, Boss – Employee, forbidden romance, growly tattooed hero, strong female lead

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2022

This is the thirteenth book in this series. All the characters are interconnected but each book can be read as a standalone. This one features Zara Chopra. She is the best spin doctor in the country. And when she tries to get away over Christmas her friend lends her the Seven’s cabin. Then there is Hunter Whittington who is trying to decide if he really wants to run for Prime Minister. So his friend lends him the Seven’s cabin. He is pleasantly surprised to find Zara already in the hot tub. And since a snow storm sweeps in they are forced to share the cabin. So Zara strikes a deal. They will share one night with no barriers. But the storm forces them to an extra night. Hunter pulls out all his tricks to convince Zara to take a chance as a couple. But she insists that their professions are NOT compatible. This is where the suspense and comedy come in. Will Zara trust Hunter with her secrets? Will he run for the hills once he finds out? This story is full of all the feels. And the passion is off the charts. I can’t wait for the next Billionaire to fall.

Zara is a top notch fixer. She has her legal degree and is the best PR person in the business. Hunter is planning on running for Prime Minister. He could use her on his team. However, they seem to bring out the worst in each other. There is also a strong attraction between them.

It is Christmas. They are both tired. They tell their friends that they need to get away. Separately they are offered a quiet cabin for the holiday. They gratefully accept. Time alone to decompress, get a better outlook on things. When Hunter arrives at the quiet, darkened cabin he hurries to the hot tub out on the back porch. He is shocked to see Zara there. This is going to be a better Christmas than he thought. Look what Santa brought him!!!

To be fully transparent, I really struggled to keep reading this ebook at first. The main character Zara, was very relatable to me, which I think made me pause this book like a million times. However, it’s one of those books that I needs to read! Hunter is the type of man that never gave up on Zara. He kept fighting for her even when she kept denying him. This book was a 8/10 for me. I truly enjoyed reading it and am glad that they got there happily ever after!

I love this series, Hunter and Zara's story was so good I couldn't put it down. This was a definite 1 sitting read. Both of them fighting their fellings for each other. It was also nice that Hunter realised his love for Zara first, usually it's the women. If you haven't read The Christmas One Night Stand pick it up now, you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars So Much More Than A Christmas Story…
Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2022
Verified Purchase
This is a meaty story (362 pages) that could be read at any time of year. This is my first book by L. Steele (Laxmi Haiharan), and I will definitely be reading more of her interrelated books.

Zara and Hunter are two of London’s high-powered movers and shakers. She is a media fixer with some serious lady balls and a secret, and he’s a wealthy politician who is following in his family footsteps. Their chemistry is beyond flammable, but Zara doesn’t want to be with Hunter because she believes him to be the typical entitled ‘playboy’. Hunter, the alpha male, actually seems much more willing to do anything he needs to to win her love.

After several meetings that nearly lit my kindle on fire, they meet (or are set up by friends) at a cottage right out of the movie, ‘The Holiday' and finally give in to one night of passion, which turns into two because of a snowstorm. I won’t go into more detail because this book is very much worth reading. The only weakness I felt was that it takes a VERY long time for them to actually get together and even longer for Zara to allow herself to commit to Hudson.

To me, the book is really about Zara allowing herself to lean into a man, and moving past her prejudices towards Hunter’s privilege; and about Hunter finding his ‘why’ for going into politics and standing for the Prime Ministership, but also being willing to give it all up for love. I’m pretty sure I wanted to shake Zara more than once, and Zara’s sudden turnabout is a bit jarring, but I loved this power couple together. Definitely worth the read!

This book was absolutely amazing! Laxmi just keeps them coming. I love how with all her books she brings in a few characters from the previous books and drops tid bits for upcoming books. The Billionaire & Friends & Mafia Wives Series are 2 of the best if not the best series I’ve ever read by an author! Great work Maxim!
