Publisher's summary

When you kiss your perfect boyfriend under the mistletoe...only for your cousin scream to the family that you stole her man, you realize that you will never again have a merry Christmas.

In my defense, I didn’t know my boss—yup, boss. Buckle up because this is messy—was my cousin’s newly minted and totally lying fiancé. I thought he was the Nutcracker Prince come to finally show my family that I, too, was worthy of putting the star atop the Christmas tree.

I was so wrong.
Now my entire family thinks I’m a ho ho ho.
I’m at the top of the naughty list, not in a fun Elf on the Shelf way, but rather in a snide-comments-at-brunch and sitting-at-the-kids’-table kinda way.

I have to clear my name, or Christmas is ruined. Again.
What better way than to blackmail my family’s number one sworn enemy?
Anderson Wynter is this desperate elf’s last hope. Six-foot-five, ethically challenged, with washboard abs and a death wish, Anderson is the perfect weapon to expose my ex and help me get back in my family’s good graces.
That is, until the weapon massively backfires… and no, not like that.

Anderson goes full Nightmare Before Christmas and shows up at my family’s annual holiday party in nothing but tattoos and a motorcycle helmet and tells everyone we’re dating.
Yep, that kicks me off the naughty list and sends me straight to the Grinch’s garbage dump.

Now I’m chained to a motorcycle-riding bad elf with terrible morals and an even worse attitude—one who sticks his hand down my shirt in the middle of my parents’ posh country club and tells me to ride him like I do his bike.
When I slap him, he just smirks and asks if I fluff my marshmallows while fantasizing about betraying my family with him.
As if.

No way am I sleeping with the man my entire family hates.
Because that won’t just ruin Christmas.
It’ll ruin the rest of my life.

Fun Holiday Listen

Elf Against The Wall was a fast-paced, off-the-wall, smoking hot Christmas story that I absolutely devoured. Evie and Anderson’s hate to love relationship is full of push and pull, up and down moments that will keep you guessing to their true feelings. They are a very unlikely pairing who somehow seem to complement one another and they see something in each other that no one else sees.

Evie is the odd one out in her family and she does everything that she can to get into their good graces, but everything she tries seems to backfire. Anderson is looking for information to help get himself out of debt and when these two collide, chaos explodes.

Even though Evie’s family hates Anderson and vice versa, Evie brings out a softer side to Anderson that no one else sees and Anderson is able to settle Evie. Watching these two fight it out is an absolute blast. Anderson and Evie are full of fire and chaos and I loved every moment.

Tim Page and Avery Reid narrate the audio of this title and they imbibed the characters with just the right amount of spirit and snark. I found their performance very enjoyable and they did a great job of bringing the story to life. Full of wacky hijinks, an absolutely horrible family that I can’t decide if I love or hate, snarky, flirty banter and two headstrong characters that are full of fire, Elf Against The Wall was a fun read that’s hilarious, steamy and heartfelt.

Elf against the wall

I really liked the elf gone bad last Christmas. The female in this story written as too much of doormat and hate to sound mean but clueless and not very bright. I got to chapter 17 and just did not want to finish.

The dirty talk champion has been crowned!!!!

Enemies to lovers, black sheep of family, romcom, Xmas, fake dating (wait no, fake f*ucking lol), and hot hot HOT spice.

In the beginning, I was worried that I wouldn't connect with the MMC as he was not that... likable. However, as we get into the story and learn more the author does a great job at redeeming his character. I felt so bad for both of them as the black sheep of their family. However, I felt super bad for the FMC. I think it was to the extreme, but I think that we can all relate to how she feels at some point.

(I do think that this is the dirtiest(for lack of better words) book that this author has written so be ready for that.)

I listened to the audio. And it is chefs kiss. The narrators are amazing! Really gives that something extra to the book. Definitely do not listen to one speaker at work, home, or anywhere that someone might hear, especially little ears. Audio may induce blushing!

This is the second book in the series but it could be read as a stand alone as everything you need to know is given to you. Though I recommend reading the other books as you will have met the characters before and know the secondary characters.
