My daughter-in-law and my granddaughter have an ongoing argument about whether Christmas starts after Thanksgiving (DIL) or after Halloween (granddaughter). I’m in between – I love hearing Christmas music in November, but I’m not a fan of the decorations taking over the stores even before Halloween.
That being said, I have five Holiday stories in my back list, and if I don’t start now, I won’t get through them all before the holiday.
Speaking of which – If you’re not signed up for the Secret Santa party, head on over and join the party Facebook Group – over 350 authors giving away books, swag, gift cards.

First in line is A Gift for Adam
BLURB
Home and Garden assistant manager Evie Strand has painstakingly embroidered a set of seven thongs as a gag gift for her best friend—only she brought the wrong box to the store Christmas party, and now Adam Grant from Automotive is holding them up for everyone to see: Kiss my…, Tight Fit—could things get any worse? Adam may seem like a total rake, but he can tell Evie’s deeply embarrassed, and he resolves to make it up to her. Who knew where a simple dinner date would lead?
EXCERPT
How could Evie be such an idiot? She’d wrapped so many Christmas presents late last night, it had never occurred to her that the two packages looked so similar on the outside.
To her dismay, she’d drawn Adam Grant’s name for the annual gift exchange. She hadn’t given it much thought once she’d decided to give him a tie.
Evie blinked as he rummaged through his gift. “No,” she muttered softly, when he held up a second thong – this one, like the last, had hand-stitched lettering.
She should know; she’d painstakingly hand-lettered seven thongs for Christie, as a joke. She doubted Christie would actually wear any of them, but they’d each gone out of their way during the past six seasons to surprise each other with something that was outlandishly sexy. She had to admit this year.
Adam held high the pink Tuesday thong. He could hardly read it aloud for breaking up with laughter. “Tuesday: Wish you were…?” The question mark below the lettering left little room for confusion about the intent—it would nestle comfortably over the wearer’s mound.
REVIEWS
Five Stars at Amazon:
“A Gift for Adam is hilarious and a refreshingly new take on the old “opposites attract” formula. I have to admit that laughing until my eyes water and then immediately squirming in my seat from the “heat” of the next scene is a new experience for me…a powerfully good read… truly brilliant comedic rhythm and delivery.
This was an awesome fun and exciting book. A definite must read!
A hot Christmas read – “A Gift For Adam” by Adriana Kraft was one short sexy, funny with a lots of humor Christmas novel. Hard to put down

This sounds like a hilariously funny and sexy read! Great snippet! Tweeted.
Thanks so much, Jenna.
What a hoot! A great idea for a Christmas story. It makes me wonder what will happen next!
LOL thanks, Maggie!
LOL – that would get the conversation started … Oh, and to throw a 3rd option into the discussion, I’d say the Christmas season starts on the 1 Advent 😉
That’s one hell of a mistake. So embarrassing!
