It’s just a bet.
Ten days until Christmas and all I have to do is avoid my roommate’s delightfully wrapped package.
When the countdown to Christmas is over, I’ll be collecting my own present—a generous stack of pretty green bills.
It doesn’t matter that every time he looks at me with those gorgeous hazel eyes, my knees quake.
It doesn’t matter how every time he takes his shirt off, my heart skips a beat.
Despite what my body wants, I know to keep this charming heartbreaker in the friend zone.
This should be an easy ten days, that is until my roommate shares his best-kept secret.

Countdown to Christmas is my first book by this author as I wanted to get a feel for her writing style as I’ve seen so many of her books out there that have intrigued me and I’m hoping to read more by Betty😁

Soph and Jaxson are work colleagues but also friends. Soph has feelings for Jaxson but after witnessing something at work, she puts him firmly in the “friends” category😢 Now, she’s looking for a roommate and her boss suggests Jaxson with a bet attached😉

A good steamy story for Christmas time❣️

4.0 out of 5 stars A sexy fun Christmas read.
Reviewed in Australia on 7 December 2019
This is a cracker of a Christmas short story that will warm your heart and have you smiling. It's a very easy-going read with hardly any angst at all, the writing was good and the story flowed well. This book will pass an hour by the fire with a nice cup of coffee and will put you in the mood for a little Christmas romancing yourself.

I so enjoyed reading about these two characters, Jaxon and Sophia, who are co-workers and renting together as roommates. Denying an attraction she has for Jaxon leads to all sorts of fun and complications, with some funny moments and lots of hot sexy times to make you swoon and laugh along the way. The build-up to their relationship was well written, the first impression I got of Jaxon is that he is a ladies man, a love 'um and leave 'um kind of guy, but as the story progresses we get a different picture of Jaxon and I loved that. The way their relationship developed was quick and intense but that worked in a book this short.

This is just the read to pick up in the lead to Christmas, to get you in the mood for the holiday season and it is well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm and cozy Christmas story

Sophie and Jaxson have been working together for 3 years. They have flirted with each other until Sophie saw him having a “rendezvous” with another lady. After that, Sophie lost some interest in him thinking he wasn’t made for serious relationships. When they moved together as roommates, her perception changes. Now she has to avoid slipping into his arms for 10 days if she was the double amount of her Christmas bonus.

I like this story because is short and goes to the point without a lot of running around and adding characters that will annoy me. And I love that is developed during Christmas time.

This was a fun, sexy novella that is perfect for a quick read!
Sophie and Jackson have worked together for the past three years and in the beginning she had a crush on him. That is until she found out what a playboy he really was.
But now she is looking for a new roommate and he is looking for a new place to live and their boss has decided to help things along by suggesting Jack move in with Sophie. If she decides to let him move in, will she be able to keep him in the friend zone or will their real feelings finally be revealed?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Quick, Hot Christmas Treat
Reviewed in the United States on 8 December 2019

I've read a number of Betty Shreffler books before, and this one didn't disappoint! I associate her books with likeable characters and all the delicious heat wanted. This one was all that.

If you're here looking for an involved storyline and feels, keep looking. This is a short Christmas novella that delivers on the romance, heat, and Christmas theme. The characters aren't deep, but there's plenty of backstory to make the romance believable. The story reads easily and flows well, and it was everything I hoped for. If you are looking for a fun Christmas read, this is perfect. Light, a little fluffy, and smoking hot. I highly recommend it, and any of this author's stories.

I received a complimentary copy of the book and reviewed voluntarily. I also bought it because I love it.

There's only so much sex a girl can stomach and this was another one to add to the pile. Glad it was short

3.0 out of 5 stars A quick and low steam read.
Reviewed in the United States on 16 December 2019

A nice short read for either in between books or even just something before bed. Fast paced and to the point, the book was pretty good. Could have used more sexiness, the playtime leading up to the actual sex was good (over a couple days time) but then it felt like the sex itself was a bit rushed. All in all a nice quick read, 3.5/5 from me.
