Review: Noel, No Way

Noel, No Way
By Mardi Ballou

Bah, humbug. For vampire Carlie, Christmas is a time to bury herself in archives and do research while everyone else parties. She wants to distance herself from the celebrations so she can forget the time Vincenzo made her his Christmas bride. Three nasty spirits come along, determined to get her attention and change her mind. Along the way, they drag Carlie, kicking and screaming, into the past, the present and the future.

Vincenzo got it right when he picked Carlie as his bride. Not knowing the full power of their bond and all it entails, he messed up. Now time is running out for him, unless Carlie opts to save him. Can the spirits open her heart in time for another Christmas miracle — or is it too late?

Noel, No Way delivers a unique paranormal twist on a holiday favorite. Carlie has used very high academic goals to cover her hurt feelings.

She’s been so successful, she’s lost the ability to enjoy Christmas like she used to. In fact she’s done a complete 180 degree turn and it’s disturbing to those who still care for her.

Vincenzo, the male interest, is only viewed through flashbacks when the very macabre ghosts of Christmas’ past, present and future force Carlie to face her unwise choices.

The issue with short stories is oftentimes characters can’t be given much depth. I sorely would have liked Vincenzo’s personality to have figured more firmly in the story. As it is, his involvement in Carlie’s flashbacks provide the bulk of the erotic elements in this story. The scenes are hot and if you are looking for steaming and creative eroticism, then this story delivers.

The unique part is how Carlie has to save Vincenzo and why. That was quite romantic.

This story does have a happy ending as most reditions of the Christmas Carol do. The epilogue ends up being an omniscent narrative and it does tie it all up nicely. The reader is left in no doubt that the Happily Ever After will survive into the future.
That’s the best part of romance.
