About this book

- [x]

Tis the season for spice...and a little Krampus magic!

TWYLA

Is Krampus real?

That's the question burning in my investigative journalist mind as I sneak into Krampus World to learn the truth about the eccentric CEO who always wears the monstrous holiday costume. I'm definitely making the naughty list for this.

After sharing a drink with the mysterious and quiet CEO, the last thing I expect is waking up with no clothes in the most beautiful winter castle. This horned heartthrob billionaire kidnapped me!

Despite the language barrier, I soon learn that his punishments are hot enough to melt the North Pole. And there are far worse things than being treated like a Christmas princess in a Yuletide-themed castle.

As I unwrap the layers of this hooved and horned enigma, I suspect the monster may be as real as Rudolph's red nose! And I might be falling for him faster than Santa coming down the chimney.

Well.... Monster romance is trending after all!

KRAMPUS

Don’t show them your tongue.

Don’t growl.

Don’t urge them to check your body for some nonexistent zipper.

Don’t wag your tail.

Don't show them how well you dance in hooves.

After a century of failures to find true love, Twyla is my last chance to break the curse before the clock runs out. I will do whatever it takes to keep my little star, my light in the darkness. It turns out this naughty girl may love my monstrous punishments and the magic of my realm.

It's not long before Twyla tangles around my heart more than twinkle lights. But can she believe a monster is her happily ever after? Will she save me from my icy fate?

Or am I doomed to be the demon of Yuletide with a frozen heart forever?

From bestselling author Emily Shore comes a romantasy that will give you all those Hallmark feels with a sack full of spicy surprises. A Christmas kidnapping never felt so dark and enchanting—or so cozy. Get ready for a rollercoaster sleigh ride that'll have you believing in holiday miracles and a mischievous monster you'll be dying to get under the mistletoe!

Kidnapped by the Krampus includes spicy content recommended for mature readers. Trauma healing is also a prominent theme. WARNING: You will never see eggnog the same way again.

HARDCOVER and PAPERBACK include Decorated Edges in Black & White and Color

Krampus finds he must have Twyla

November 27, 2023

Spicy alert, just saying. Krampus is dominant in all the delicious ways! Twyla was an inspiring but struggling journalist. Getting to interview at Krampus World seemed like a great step in the right direction. Her not so lovely boss gave her this news but a few days before Christmas. She had a love hate relationship with this holiday. She own childhood wasn't so joyful this time of year. She took this as yet another assignment. Maybe meeting up with a mystery guy would be just the gift she was...

Spicy Christmas!

November 14, 2023

I picked up this book on a whim because it is Christmas themed AND had some Norse Mythology references. As I began reading it, I was so happy I was in the mood for spice because 🥵🥵🥵. The beginning was so spicy and I was honestly kind of worried that would be it (the eggnog did NOT disappoint though). Once Emily had you caught up to speed and falling in love with the characters, that's when the amazing plot just hit you in the face. At one point while reading, I could barely work because my...

Tis the season for eggnog and spice

November 13, 2023

This book is not your average Christmas tale. Emily Shore combines the Norse version of Krampus and tons of winter spice! As an amateur spicy reader, I would say this book is a 4 out of 5 on the spice level. While reading this book I learned about the Norse mythology of Kampus, which was interesting in itself. You feel for Twyla and hope she gets the fairytale life she envisions for herself. You want Krampus to be the good guy and not the demon of Christmas you may know him as. But till the...

🌶️🔥🥵 I want Krampus to take me now

December 20, 2023

I am not usually someone who reads seasonal or holiday specific books. If it's spicy though I will give it a try and when I say I was not prepared .. 🤤🤤🤤🤤... This was written so well and I could envision it like I was watching a movie while I was reading it. It was hard to put it down to go to bed. It will definitely be on display... In my room... Away from my kids. Every. Single. Christmas. I don't like eggnog but this makes me want to give it another shot (iykyk 😉) )
