White Hot Christmas is a nine-book holiday romance series by Cynthia Sax, all published in 2011. The entries range from contemporary (Wrapped Around, Clothing Optional) to paranormal (Her Feral Destiny, Santa’s Claws).
The holiday theme ties the books together, but Sax uses it loosely enough to explore different subgenres within the series. Santa’s Treat and The Other Klaus play with Christmas mythology, while Emmy’s Wish and Stranded use the season as a backdrop for more grounded romantic scenarios. Christmas Stalkings adds a suspense element to the holiday formula.
Sax released all nine books in a single year, making the series easy to read in one stretch during the holiday season. She went on to write extensively in science fiction romance, particularly her Cyborg series, but White Hot Christmas shows her range within the romance genre. Readers looking for short, steamy holiday reads will find plenty of variety here.
