‘Santa Claus is Coming’ has a whole new meaning on an alien world

Sure, the aliens here don’t know what Christmas is, we don’t have Christmas lights or chocolate (yes, that one’s hard to accept), but we’re all together. Zyanthan-human mated pairs and their children, all celebrating the holidays.

Lucky me, I have my very own Santa! A warrior with striking white hair, magnificent horns, a smile that melts my heart, and two, um, candy canes to warm my bed…. until duty calls. Instead of descending down our chimney as ol’ Saint Nick, Havok’s flies off on a mission. Now, he’s on my naughty list!

Dear Santa, bring my alien home for Christmas! I promise, when he returns, I’ll show him why landing on my naughty list comes with some very nice rewards!

 

(Warning: Contains one determined human woman who won’t give up hope, a missing alien warrior who better make it home AND have one drekking good Christmas gift to make up for being late, questionable holiday cooking by a dear friend, and the kind of love that makes the galaxy hold its breath. HEA guaranteed!)

◆◆◆

Mine to Love!
All I Want For Christmas Is An Alien is a steamy holiday romance where a military family learns the true meaning of Christmas. This short story is filled with friends and family, joy, hope, and lots of love. Expect heart-warming moments and a very Happy Ever After.

This title is intended for readers who have read my Zyanthan Warriors series, but all readers are welcome to read (there may be a few spoilers, so I encourage you to read Alien Awoken first). Enjoy!

Julie K. Cohen

Julie K. Cohen has always had a knack for blending the fantastical with the heartfelt, weaving worlds where love knows no boundaries—whether it's between two alien species or a human and a mysterious, shape-shifting creature. Living in Pennsylvania with her husband, three kids, and one extremely loud German Shepherd, Julie finds the inspiration for her rich, compelling stories in the chaos and love of her own life.

Her writing journey is as dynamic and unpredictable as the characters she creates. A USA Today Best-Selling author, Julie’s work spans across several genres, including paranormal romance, sci-fi romance, alien love stories, and monster romance—all with a touch of heat and an emphasis on the unexpected. Fans of her books know that while each one promises a guaranteed "Happily Ever After," it’s the twists and turns along the way that make the journey so irresistible.

But Julie’s talent doesn't just lie in crafting steamy, gripping plots. It's her ability to develop complex, "flawed" characters who push past their limits to protect the ones they love that really sets her apart. Whether it's a brooding alien or a self-doubting shapeshifter, her characters are never simply defined by their abilities but by their deep emotional journeys. It’s that combination of steamy passion and profound emotional depth that has earned her a dedicated following in the romance world.

When she’s not creating intricate plots and steamy romance, Julie can be found baking, puzzling, or playing board games with her kids. She’s a lover of travel, gardening, and spending time outdoors—though you’re just as likely to find her curled up with a book when she has a spare moment. Writing isn’t just a job for Julie; it’s a life she’s passionately dedicated to, crafting stories that resonate deeply with readers while keeping them on the edge of their seats.

Julie’s first foray into writing began long before she became a full-time author. Her early career as an investment research analyst and later as a director of administration didn’t quite satisfy her creative ambitions. It wasn’t until she became a stay-at-home mom that she finally gave in to the call of storytelling, realizing that writing was her true calling all along.

Julie’s works aren’t just about love—they’re about the risks we take, the journeys we embark on, and the ways we transform along the way. From paranormal romance to the edges of sci-fi, her books offer readers an escape into worlds of passion, danger, and unforgettable twists. With each new release, she continues to push the boundaries of romance, keeping readers coming back for more.

For those who want a peek behind the scenes of Julie’s work or just want to connect with a community of passionate readers, you can find her on social media, where she shares updates, bonus chapters, and glimpses into her everyday life. Through her newsletter and social media, she offers fans exclusive access to her creative process and sneak peeks at her latest projects.

No matter where Julie’s imagination takes her next, one thing is certain: she’ll keep writing the kind of stories that make readers believe in the extraordinary—and in the power of love to conquer even the most unlikely of obstacles.

★★★★★★★★★☆ 9 / 10

This was a nice, quick alien holiday book that I enjoyed reading. I haven't read the Zyanthan Warriors series yet and was still able to enjoy the story as a standalone but think it would be enjoyed more if you are already familiar with the characters in this story. Reading about the Zyanthan Warriors thoughts about Christmas traditions like mistletoe and Christmas tree's was amusing. I look forward to reading more books set within this world in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
