Love Online #3
Run Run Rudolph
All I want for Christmas is go to back to how my life was before.
Before the trip to Las Vegas.
Before the viral interview where my career imploded.
Before I became the face of a women’s empowerment movement across the world.
Don’t get me wrong, I love how women are #ClaimingTheirCoal after I declared that sometimes being a little bad is good, but I didn’t realize in doing that I would become the paparazzi’s new favorite target.
I went from The Nice List to The Naughty List overnight, and I can’t take it anymore.
So I do the only thing I can do. I accept a friend’s offer to hide out in her small town, and I run away.
What I wasn’t expecting under my tree this year was an unlikely sidekick. With his strong jawline, corny jokes, and sexy Southern drawl, Trent Rudolph is making me feel like I’m living in one of my Christmas movies.
But real life isn’t a movie. Especially one with a guaranteed happily ever after.
Soon, the Christmas magic runs out, and we have to face the truth. I can’t hide from my reality forever. But will Trent’s arms be there to catch me when I finally stop running?
Polish your jingle bells, strategically hang the mistletoe, and get ready to claim your spot on The Naughty List. This holiday season, fourteen of your favorite authors are spicing up the cocoa and taking advantage of those long winter nights, proving that sometimes it’s more fun to claim your coal than it is to stay on Santa’s good side. After all, well-behaved women might make the nice list, but naughty ones have all the fun…

#Holiday #Celebrity #CinnamonRollHero #SmallTown
This was the last book published in The Naughty List series. (I have been naught though because I didn't get to read any of the others yet and jumped straight to this one.) It is a standalone and ends with a HEA. It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.
Hollie makes a run from it to small town Rolling Hills to get away from the paparazzi and falls for the best of all guys, Trent Rudolph. Trent has the opportunity to get to know the actress he has crushed on forever, only to learn that the woman is so much more than he ever dreamed.
I love the way the two characters form a friendship and bond together so quickly. They have some serious heat between them and I adored seeing that side of Trent. Hollie taking back her life was a blast to read. I was so excited for her to allow her true self the freedom to just be. I also adored the way Trent protects and supports her, even when it it hard for him to do.
This is a low angst holiday read with plenty of steam. It also has a side of sarcastic satire when poking at the Adored network and the way they treat Hollie. It was a really fun read that I can see reading again next holiday.

💋💋
Really enjoyed this book, full of fun and great characters.
The story was lovely, it hooked me immediately, and the two main characters I adored especially Trent , what a beautiful man.
Hollie is a very talented actress who makes Christmas movies, she’s the one in the prologue of every book in the series.
It was lovely to finally see her story and seasonal happy ending.
I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to write this review

Sweet!!!! Spicy!!!!!! #Claim Your Coal!!!!!!!!
Absolutely loved this story of a young, beautiful actress who stood her ground against the domineering movie network she worked for. They changed Hollie's name, her hair color, and tried to take over her private life. Hollie was their employee, NOT their personal slave!
When you stand up for yourself and your courage also benefits other people, you receive a blessing! And Hollie's blessing came in the form of super HAWT, Trent!!!! lol!!!
Amazing story!
FYI:
I just started reading a book- ROCKIN' AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Breanna Lynn. The Prologue is the same., as RUN RUN RUDOLPH BY Chelle Sloan. Am I re reading the same story under a different title? Help!!!!!

What a great ending to an awesome series. The message is loud and clear, #claimyourcoal. Live YOUR life for you and no one else. Make your own happiness.

I’m so excited to finally be getting Hollie’s story. I’ve loved this series! If you haven’t read any of the others, this series is written by various authors & each novella starts with the same prologue. We get a glimpse into the world of all of these authors as their characters are adopting the motto of #ClaimYourCoal which was started by Hollie Berry.
Hollie Berry is the star of the Adored Network who has been outed due to an unfortunately timed photo while at a bachelor party in Vegas. What happened in Vegas did NOT stay in Vegas for Hollie. While she is hiding out in her home from the papz, an old friend from LA suggests and finds a way to get her out of the house, but keep her in hiding.
Trent Rudolph is the good ole country hometown boy. He may have way too much knowledge about Hollie and celebs in general, but he’s sexy, and sweet, and an overall good guy.
As these two are thrown together in Trent’s home in Rolling Hills, TN, they find they have a special kind of chemistry. I loved getting to see the quirky inner working of Trent…usually it’s the heroine that’s so quirky. And I loved watching Trent show Hollie the Christmas she’s never experienced.
This was a great end to a great series. I loved getting pieces from so many different worlds from different authors, and my tbr has grown significantly, ha.

This was one of the sweetest holiday books I've read this season. Chelle Sloan tells a wonderfully entertaining and heart-warming story in a book you can easily read in a day or two.
Actress Hollie Berry was just attempting to have some fun at a friend's party when unflattering pictures hit the internet. Speaking her mind during an interview, saying she is 'claiming her coal' has now gone viral and unfortunately destroying her career in the pricess. Now she's forced to hide out in small town Rolling Hills with a friend to avoid the relentless paparazzi. Meeting Hazel's friends has made her see that there are still kind-hearted people in the world, especially handsome and single Trent.
Trent Rudolph can't believe he just offered to let his gorgeous crush stay at his house. Soon he's showing Hollie all the things she's missed while her life was controlled by her contract with Adored Network and he's falling fast. Trent knows she can't stay forever so all he can do is enjoy the time he has with her and hope it won't completely gut him when she leaves.
But Hollie's past will force her to make some difficult decisions sooner than she'd hoped. Will Trent's parting words sink in or will the limelight be too much to pass up?

I’ve been super curious about Hollie since book one and I’m so glad that I got to read her book before release day!
“𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏. 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒅, 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒖𝒑.”
When I tell you how cute Trent is, I mean it. His inner monologue when meeting Hollie for the first time made me giggle out loud like a school girl. He also BLUSHES for her!! 😩
Though Hollie wasn’t exactly happy with how most things turned out for her acting career, she’s also glad it happened or she would have never met Trent.. or get a happy ever after.

A perfect Christmas film!
We finally get Hollies story! The rest of the series has been all about the women she influenced and gave the confidence to chase their dreams and reach for the stars.
Here we get to see the real Hollie emerge from the Adored fog she as lived under, and like a child at Christmas we see her joy at rediscovering normal life and her hopes and dreams. Including the delectable Trent, the perfect guy to keep her safe whilst also showing her the joy of Christmas and the possibilities for after adored.
This is a beautiful finale for the series, I haven't read any books by Chelle Sloan before, but will be looking for more. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Hollie has been Trent's celebrity crush for years and now he is tasked with giving her a place to stay while helping her hide from the paparazzi. I didn't know how much I needed this story until I read it! These two are just so cute together and you can't help but fall in love with them. I think i pretty much smiled throughout the entire story, and it has just enough steam and holiday feels that made me wish it didn't have to end!

A cute and steamy holiday romance!
This is a quick little read with a good dose of fluff, spice and Christmas feels.
It could be read as a stand alone but it is part of Chelle’s Rolling Hills universe and I think it would be best enjoyed once you’ve read the other books in the series, especially since you meet Trent, and the other characters, prior to this story.
Either way, this romance is sure to warm your holiday hearts ❤️💚

It had some cute little moments, but the story felt sooo rushed. Very insta love. Some details needed clarification or to be left out. ie. A best friend is mentioned but never named or introduced. Is her agent good or bad? How did the paparazzi stalker find her? Their relationship rushed rushed rushed.

I love the naughty list line up! This is Hollies story and she’s about to claim her coal! This book was amazing. I loved the characters and the story. Trent and Hollie are perfect for each other. This is a short novella but I felt like the story wasn’t lacking. It’s small town sweet and spicy.

I was asked to read and give an honest review of this book. As always Chelle hit it out of the park. Excellent read, probably one of my favorite Naughty List books. Great read, excellent characters, lots of laughs. This is part of a series but, you can keep up without reading the rest. Highly recommend!

Having read Ms.Sloan's work many times before i always get so happy whenever i get to pick up another book of hers! From the moment i found out about this Naughty List book i wanted to read it. I got into it right away and finished it in one sitting. I really enjoyed this story so much!
Hollie and Trent's journey pulled me in from the get go! After her trip to Vegas that went viral the Adored network drops Hollie Berry during an interview. Little did she know her saying claim your coal would inspire so many women to go after what they want and lead her to being stuck in her home. When her friend comes up with an idea, she gets away and it's then that she meets Trent Rudolph. Can this Christmas prove to be the most unforgettable one yet for Trent and Hollie?
When i found out Hollie was getting her own story i was so happy! I really liked the way Trent and Hollie were brought into each other's lives and getting to see them handle being around one another. Hollie was very relatable to me and i felt for her. Trent stole my heart with how swoonworthy he was! I definitely connected with him. The sparks between these two was undeniable and the realness of their connection had me so heart eyes. I just adored these two together!
With Run Run Rudolph, Ms.Sloan has created such a great Christmas read that will keep you glued to your kindle! I loved the whole claim your coal aspect of The Naughty List series and what a wonderful reminder it was to go after what you want in life. Trent and Hollie will have you falling for them and Christmas, so grab your hot cocoa, light up your tree, and curl up with this read! 🎄💗

Are you a fan of holiday romances with all the feels ? Well if so you are definitely not going to want to miss Run Run Rudolph by non other than the Queen herself Chelle Sloan . So I am not typically someone who enjoys novellas at al. l but I am a huge huge fan of Chelle’s writing In fact she happens to be one of my all time favorite authors, so of course signing up to read and review this amazing story was a no brainer . I really do not want to give too many details away but what I will say is that from the moment I sat down and started Trent and Holly’s emotional rollercoaster of a love story I was pretty much hooked . Both are so likable and relatable you really cannot stop yourself from becoming more and more invested. Run Run Rudolph is the perfect blend of all the things a great romance should be , wonderfully written characters that are so unique , so captivating and very multi layered, off the charts chemistry, romance, angst , humor , witty banter , sweet and sexy moments, unexpected surprises, family , friendships, awesome world building and last but certainly not least a storyline that will grab onto all your emotions so tightly and pull at your heartstrings in ways you definitely will not be expecting. It’s a pretty fast read but one that is impossible to put down and should definitely not be missed

Run Run Rudolph is finally giving us Hollie's story. Yes, she is the woman that started the #claimyourcoal saga. If you haven't had the chance to get your hands on all the novellas in this little holiday collection, get your clicker finger ready and believe me, you will not be disappointed.
Hollie is known as your girl next door holiday actress for the Adorn network. She has lived by their rules for years but just once when she has a little bit of good-natured fun, that was totally taken out of context, she is placed on the naughty list by the public and then the company. She should have never assumed that they would have her back. She hunkers down in her home, but the reporters are swarming. When her old friend Hazel comes up with a plan to whisk her away, she is so ready to break out of this cage.
Trent Rudolph has always had a soft spot for the lovely Hollie and all her movies and now his boss Hazel has brought her here to give her a soft place to land while she regroups, little did they know that their pull toward one another was going to be what holiday romance movies were all about!
Get ready for Hollie to finally claim her coal, live her life and maybe get her man!!
This couple was sweet, sexy, sassy and had wonderful witty banter!

Honestly, after reading so many of the other novellas in The Naughty List series, I couldn’t wait to get to Hollie’s story. I absolutely had to know what she was up to and how she claimed her coal.
Hollie ends up in Rolling Hills, a sleepy little town, with her best friend and a few others who were a part of helping her escape LA. She meets Trent in this group and their connection is instant. The married couples don’t have a place for her to stay (ironic), so she ends up bunking at Trent’s house.
Trent is a Hollie aficionado. He’s been a fan of hers since forever. So to have her in his house is a bit overwhelmingly exciting. Instead of treating her like a star though, he treats her just like an everyday person and gets to know the real Hollie.
Hollie is always surprised at Trent doing things for her just because he wants to or because that’s just the way he is, not because he wants something from her. They eventually share a kiss and it opens Hollie’s eyes to the possibilities that Trent can offer.
Always check the TW/CW:
💥stalking by paparazzi
Anywho! Time to wrap this up with the goodies:

I received this eARC in exchange for an honest review all thoughts and opinions are my own.
✅Christmas Novella
✅Instalove
This is part of the naughty list anthology! This book is about the one and only Hollie Barry and how she decided to claim her coal. Last week, she was America’s Sweetheart. Now shes America’s Favorite Feminist. Not that the new title is a bad thing; she just still don’t know how to feel about it. Her world is upside down, and she doesn’t know how to right the ship. Hollie takes one of her close friends up on an offer and ends up in Rolling hills where she meets Trent. Trent is literally the cutest! I love how it went from him having a hard core crush on a celebrity to being with the woman of his dreams. Who knew Christmas wishes could come true?!
**************Potential Spoilers***********
Parts that made me think:
“Every morning is a chance to do better than the day before. A clean slate. A fresh start.”
“At some point, I lost who I was and became the woman they wanted me to be. Well, no more. And if that’s naughty, well, consider me at the top of the list.”

Now shes America’s Favorite Feminist. Not that the new title is a bad thing; she just still don’t know how to feel about it. Her world is upside down, and she doesn’t know how to right the ship. Hollie takes one of her close friends up on an offer and ends up in Rolling hills where she meets Trent. Trent is literally the cutest! I love how it went from him having a hard core crush on a celebrity to being with the woman of his dreams. Who knew Christmas wishes could come true?!
**************Potential Spoilers***********
Parts that made me think:
“Every morning is a chance to do better than the day before. A clean slate. A fresh start.”
“At some point, I lost who I was and became the woman they wanted me to be. Well, no more. And if that’s naughty, well, consider me at the top of the list.”

This one was cute and had a lot of potential - especially being that it centered around Hollie Berry, the actress that stirred America that triggered this entire naughty series of novellas. I was so excited to see what happened and really just see how Hollie Berry was bringing herself back. However, I think this one highlighted the fact that I’m not the biggest fan of insta-love.
This one follows Hollie sneaking out of her home after paparazzi have been camped out trying to see her after that famous interview. A friend has her staying in a small town and she stays with a guy that’s low-key obsessed with her and her work. Like he’s literally in love with her and a big Hollie Berry stan (so basically a good chunk of us when we fangirl over a new fandom). So he has instant love for her, obviously, but she feels the attraction and such instantly too.
It’s a cute story with a good bit of steam - but compared to the other novellas in this set, wasn’t as steamy as I thought it could have been. Trent was adorable, but something was just… missing and I can’t quite put a finger on it.

Run Run Rudolph is the last book in The Naughty List series and it stars non other then the girl who started this series Hollie Berryo.
I was so excited to get Hollies story and see her side of things. Hollie the queen of Christmas movies has been excommunicated by her network for a photo that was leak when she was in Vegas. It looked more incriminating then it really was but after trying to explain herself and finding out she was fire on live TV she’s has enough and that when the Claim You Coal Movement starts.
Chelle brings us into her Rolling Hills world Hollie goes into hiding and meets Trent who happens to be a huge Hollie fan. I found it Absolutley adorable that Trent knew all of her movies and was absolutely star struck by her and he was ready to find his happily ever after.
Trent and Hollies story was so perfect, from their meeting, to her quizzing him on her movies and him helping her find herself again.
This could not have been more of a perfect ending to this holiday series.

When the actress becomes the story.
Hollie is the good girl of Holiday movies until one innocent trip to Vegas derails her career. Frustrated with the limitations put on her life, she unknowingly launches an international campaign empowering woman to #claimyourcoal. Now, she needs a break, and a friend offers her an out.
Trent has had a bit of a crush on the actress for as long as he could remember. When given the opportunity to help shelter her from the paparazzi, he jumps at the chance. Trent is determined to give Hollie a Christmas she's never experienced before.
While I like the chemistry between the two, it was a little creepy to me how much of a crush Trent has always had on Hollie. It was a different take on the Hollywood star and the small-town guy. But I think it may have been easier for me to accept if he had no idea who she was. I still enjoyed the story and was thrilled to get Hollie's story after reading about her in all the other books in the series.
