 He was having a hard time fighting the Dominant inside of himself from taking control.  He had a feeling Lissa would make a perfect submissive.  He just didn't know if it would scare the shit out of her or not.  He guessed not when she started rubbing his cock through his jeans.

"I can't help myself." She stroked his entire length up and down.

“David, shut the door. I told you not to let him drink so much. He always does this shit.”

“Come on Matt; don’t blame this shit on me. I’m not Sam’s babysitter.”

“Just shut the damn door. I’m gonna see if cold water will wake him up.”

“Why did we have to get undressed Matt?”

“Because Cory, if he fuckin’ croaks, we don’t want any of our fibers on his body. Don’t any of you watch those law shows?” He turned the handle and cold water began to flow.

“No, I don’t watch those shows. Look he’s fuckin’ coming around.”

8th review of Jack's Christmas Wish!

This is another review from Amazon.com

 is from: JACK'S CHRISTMAS WISH (Kindle Edition) Loved this story about Lissa, Derek, and Jack.. when I first seen the book i was thinking it was about jack (well in a way it is, but not really lol)We have three individuals that really want love to come into their lives and stay ALOT longer. Each wanting something more personal in that love. be it a mommy or just a safe place to curl up on a saw horse while being whipped or between the sheets with each other.
Ms Sansom's writing about all these characters flows quite well together and man oh man I know what i wish for christmas Derek's dungeon ooh and maybe a Derek too. lol
I would recommend this book to anyone that is into BDSM stories.
I hope Bonni writes more stories because i'd snag them up.
thanks Bonni for the christmas wish..

6th Review of Jack's Christmas Wish. 4 stars

I really loved this. I admit I was a bit dubious because BDSM is not really my thing, but it was well written and steaming hot, from the moment we see Lissa in her little elf outfit to the end. Little Jack is just fabulous with his questioning and I'd like Derek in my stocking for Christmas, Easter, Lent, any holiday! I thoroughly recommend Ms Sansom's book.

5th review from Kinky Book Reviews 3 out of 5 kinks

This is yet another book review of Jack's Christmas Wish.

Review by Kristina:
This book is a sweet heartwarming Christmas story. It had me smiling during most of it. I did find it a little predictable but sometimes that’s hard to avoid in this genre. The sex scenes were pretty steamy. The BDSM was on the lighter side. I didn’t feel that Lissa really submitted to Derek. A few times I felt she was topping from the bottom. The scenes were good action wise, but it felt more like him pleasing her. The only time he pushed her even a little was toward the end.
The issues I had were that I found parts of the characters actions a bit confusing. There was a lot of “I want this!” then “oh, no I don’t!” throughout the book. Several times both Lissa and Derek were almost certain the other wouldn’t call or show when there was no sign previously to say that they wouldn’t. It seemed like adding angst just for the sake of angst. And lastly, being a parent, I wish I had as many sitting options for my kids as Derek has for his!
I’d recommend this book to anyone wanting a cute holiday read. I went through the story pretty quick and like I said, it made me smile. Being that this appears to be Ms Sansom’s first book, I’d say it’s a pretty awesome debut. I will definitely look forward to more from her.

"Are you sure you want to do this?  I'm not a gentle lover." He continued his erotic massage, as his mouth watered to taste her.

"Mmm, I might not want gentle.  I love it when a man takes control."

4th review of Jack's Christmas Wish!

This is the 4th review of Jack's Christmas Wish by Coffee Beans and Love Scenes!

Review:
Sansom weaves a very modest BDSM tale in Jack's Christmas Wish, not too hard core but touches base on many novice BDSM techniques and scenarios. Her writing style is one of pleasure to read, she keeps the story at a steady flow and the interesting characters and their blossoming relationship are all delightful.

The only nagging issue I had with the story line was Lissa's inability to love one minute then want the whole enchilada. Her wavering moods were hard to keep up with. From her stalker ex-boyfriend's abusive insinuations to how she was willing to be Derek's sub in his dungeon. Moments like this made me think, “how can a person go from abuse (whether mental or physical) to being at someone's mercy.” Perhaps her fear of true love was the main obstacle.

Aside from that topsy-turvy emotional debate, Sansom did an excellent job at developing the relationship between Derek's seven-year old son, Jack, and Lissa. The humorous antics and dialogue on the first page of the novel had me laugh a few times and want to slap the Naughty Santa. I love Sansom's writing and can guarantee more of her writings will be added to my TBR List once they are available.

“Juliette, Juliette, where for art thou Juliette?” James kissed Eric’s hand, risking a smack to the face.

“Shut up, smartass before I knock your teeth in. You know I hate it when you do that. Now get in here and make love to me.” Eric pulled him up the rest of the way.  

“Alright, alright, hold your horses.” James took Eric in his arms on the balcony and kissed him, such an intimate embrace. He never cared much about what other people thought, so why not kiss his lover there for the world to see. He would never be ashmed.

Second review of Jack's Christmas Wish

DiDi's Review:
I am a sucker for the Magic of Christmas! I do believe that MIRACLES can and do happen during Christmas time. When I saw the title and cover of Bonni Sansom's DEBUT book, Jack's Christmas Wish, I knew I wanted to read it. When Bonni sent me a copy for review, I read the blurb for it and found out Jack wasn't the H in the story like I thought, but the seven year old son of the H. At that point I KNEW I had to read it, because throw in a single father during the Holidays and I am a puddle of goo.

Lissa is working as a department store elf, when an adorable little boy, Jack, comes up to see Santa, she instantly feels tendernesss towards and a bond with Jack. She looks up and finds out that Jack's Daddy, Derek, is sexy and something about him her pulls at her heart and melts her panties. Derek is pleasantly surprised that he is attracted to a woman for the first time since his wife's death. He loves the instant affection Lissa had towards Jack, it doesn't hurt that she is sexy either.

Things heat up and emotions get intense quickly, Derek realized early on that he needs to test the waters and see if Lissa will be ok with his DOM side, because he knows he can only be with a woman who will submit. Lissa has never really been with a DOM, but she is interested, but she won't submit without a little sass and brattiness. When Derek lets his DOM free it is HOT!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the inner dialogue both Derek and Lissa have with themselves, I definitely had some LOL moments.

I love how Bonnie included Jack in the story because many of the BDSM stories I've read do not have kids in them. So it was nice to read a book where parents have dungeons too =) I also appreciated the fact that Derek and Lissa both took Jack's feelings into account while dating. Jack is adorable, with his "kiss like French People do" lines.

This book has A LOT happen in a short time, but hey it's Christmas time when anything can happen and miracles DO happen.

I feel like Jack's Christmas Wish is a great debut novel and can't wait to see what else Bonni has in store for us. It is definitely a feel good Christmas story...and if anyone says the relationship was rushed or happened too fast...BAH HUMBUG!!!!

DiDi gives Jack's Christmas Wish (3.75)

Jack's Christmas Wish first review.

This is the first review I've recieved for Jack's Christmas Wish!

OMG! I don't know where to start. First things first this is an erotic story so ...you must be 18 to read it :D FYI I loved every minute of it. This is one story I need to read over and over again. Right of the bat I was yelling at the laptop, come on now, why are there so many male jerks in stories, lol. Then Derek shows up to visit santa with his son Jack and Lissa instantly falls head over heals in love (so did I). This man knows how to make her beg for more (again he did bring me drooling along the way too). Come on now who wouldn't love to have a hot master bringing you to eternal bliss just from a touch? You have to read this story, I have never got to use bondage and toys like they use in this story, but I do believe I have a new Christmas list stored away in my wicked, little mind ;) Thanks alot Bonni :D my boyfriend may thank you later as well, hehe. This story is more then just sex, it's sweet and draws you in. I love the ending it made me cry tears of joy :) Great job, can't wait to read more of your stories, I so hope you write more for these characters :D

“I’m Jack,” the little boy said with childish enthusiasm.

“Jack, what would you like for Christmas?” Santa asked as the boy wobbled on his knee.

The little boy hung his head, a frown on his little face with drooping shoulders. He looked like a wilting flower. “I want a new mom.”

Here's another snippet from Jack's Christmas Wish.

“Will you be my new mom?”

That she wasn’t expecting. Crap! Now what? I can’t very well say yes, I’d love to, now can I? Yeesh!

“Uh, no honey, but I’m sure your dad will find someone.” She looked to the dad and he gave a timid smile. Pick me. Please, pick me.

She smiled back, searching those deep blue eyes for any hint of attraction, because she was feeling loads of it. She might not be his mommy, but she would certainly be girlfriend material. The mommy thing would work itself out.

Jack slumped over again. God, she felt bad for him. He hopped down from Santa’s knee and turned to her. “I would’ve liked you to be my new mommy. You’re pretty.”

Her face heated. “Thank you, Jack.” What else could she say? Me too.

The dad stepped up to collect his son. “He’s right, you know. You are very pretty.”

Good grief all the sudden it was seriously hot. All the man had to do is say she was pretty and she creamed her fuzzy green outfit.

 His hands were warm on my skin. The way he always touches me never ceases to amaze me so gentle and yet so strong. His tongue tickles me as he licks his way from my neck to my ear. I know when he gets to my ear I will have chills running up and down my spine. I can feel his erection pressing against my ass as if readying me for what is to come. I am ready I’m hot for him already I need him as much as he needs my love. He’s my man, my lover, my life.

Snippet from Jack's Christmas Wish.

This snippet is from Jack's Christmas Wish, just released from SizzlerEditions.com

Lissa blinked at him like she hadn’t heard him. Or maybe she was in shock he thought. Either way he knew that he’d just fucked up.

“What did you just say to me?” She lifted her legs from around his head and rolled away turning her back to him.

Fuck!

He had most definitely fucked up. She was closed off again. Dammit, he couldn’t stand it. He wanted her, needed her and now might have lost her. He raised his hand rubbing lightly on her back. She stiffened under his touch. Everything he’d worked on earlier he had just undone with three little words. ‘Lissa I’m sorry.” I need you to talk to me.”

“What’s there to talk about?”

“Everything. You, me, us and a bunch of other stuff, but I need you to know I’m not like the others, I won’t hurt you.”

She laughed without humor. “So says my ass.”

“You know what I mean.”

I do and what am I supposed to believe? You?  Or a lifetime of misery because of those words?”

“Yes. You’re supposed to believe me.” He gestured with his thumb to his chest.

She seemed to be considering it. “I want to believe you. Look I’ve had one hell of a day. Can’t we just have sex and enjoy each other?” She rolled closer to him and stroked his semi erect penis.

“I thought you’d never ask.” He didn’t like her referring to it as sex, it just made it sound casual and dirty. He would rather her say make love, but he would take what he could get at this point. He was so close. She wanted to believe, so she felt it too. She would come around he was sure of it. He just needed to make love to her and show her how much he loved her.

“Kiss me.” Their lips met, crushing into each other. She opened for him to explore her mouth, leaving nothing untouched. Their tongues tangled in a sensual duel, leaving them both breathless.

He rolled her to her side, lifted her leg over his and fitted himself to her hole, sinking into her heat.

“Ohmigod, more. Yes. More please. I need more.” She pushed her butt into his groin. She reached behind her to his ass, pulling him closer, farther inside her. He gladly obliged tilting his hips up, pounding into her just as she’d asked.

“Tell me your mine, Lissa. I need to hear it.” He threw his arm over her, splaying his hand across her ribs. He noted he could feel each one. She needed to gain some weight. He moved his hand up, cupping her breast, then teasing her hard nipple with his fingers. He felt her tighten up on him, squeezing his cock with her muscles. The air was thick with the musky scent of sex, spurring him on. Adrenaline raced through his veins, making his pace erratic. It was a heady feeling.

“I’m yours. I’m yours, Sir.” Damn he loved hearing those words

He didn’t have to urge her mouth to open to him, she was ready. Their tongues dueled in a sensual dance, tasting and caressing one another. Her heart hammered in her chest. Her mind scattered to the winds, all thoughts gone; only the sensation of his kiss remained.
He tasted of beer and something she couldn’t quite name, but it was uniquely Justin. Pure raw man.

Excerpt from The Bank Job.

“This one is waterproof if you’re looking to use a vibrator in the shower or bath.” Kat's knowledge of the products had her at number one sales person. She got the raise she was hoping for and was on her way to being able to pay off all of her past due bills. Finally she felt like she could breathe again. The only thing missing was Jarrod. She couldn’t get him off of her mind. She didn’t want him off her mind. She wanted him on top of her, taking her every which way they could think of. She hadn’t been back inside the bank since the robbery. Instead she dropped her checks off in the night deposit. She’d needed to go to the police station to identify the robbers which was pretty simple, especially Dick. All she had to do was hear him speak. Snaggletooth had been another easy one, but the third one proved difficult. She hadn’t spent much time with him.

“I’ll take this one. I like that it’s purple. Oh, do you have any nipple clamps and flavored condoms? My boyfriend likes me to go down on him,” She scrunched her face. “But, I don’t like the taste of his come.” She shivered in disgust.

“I understand. The nipple clamps are on aisle three and the flavored condoms are up by the register. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.” She left to go back to the front desk. Other customers were milling about looking at various toys. Some had red faces, while others had no compunction about buying sex toys. Her first week here she had such a red face it would have matched a fire hydrant. That quickly wore off and now she could handle any question with a straight face. The only person she couldn’t face again was Jarrod. Jarrod could become addictive and she just couldn’t risk it. Especially with him being such an expert with her body. She got a tingle in her groin every time she thought about his fingers inside her. No, she couldn’t risk her heart.

“What’s up Kat?” Marcus leaned on the counter on one elbow and raised a brow at her.

“Nothing, I’m fine.” She assured him.

“Bullshit. You haven’t been the same since the bank robbery. Do you need to talk to someone? Like a professional? Our insurance covers it.” He gave her a sympathetic smile.

“Hell no, I don’t need to talk to anyone. I’m fine. I’m not like the others who were victims. I stood up to them.”

He held his arms up in mock surrender. “Okay, okay, I was just saying.”

“Well, I don’t need to see a professional. Alright?” She couldn’t help the bitchiness in her tone. She hated the thought of being a victim. That’s what the welfare people called her. A victim of child abuse. She fought as hard as she could, she just wasn’t tough enough back then, but she was now. Nobody would ever call her a victim again. Nobody would ever get close enough to hurt her again neither. Even as she thought that, she still felt something stirring inside her for Jarrod. She missed him. Wondered everyday how he was doing, but couldn’t face him.

“You can talk to me you know. I won’t say a word to anyone.” Marcus held his hand out to her.

Even Jamie hadn’t offered to talk to her and they were roommates. She did want to talk to someone. Just to get it out of her system, but not to be mistaken for a victim. Maybe she could trust Marcus with her confession. She’d been afraid but couldn’t show weakness. She’d been afraid when Jarrod got shot. She thought she had lost him for sure. There was so much blood. So much pain etched on his face. He was pale, too pale. The memories turned her stomach. The sights sounds and the metallic scent of his blood all over her hands just about stopped her heart. She didn’t know why she felt so strongly for this guy. They had a bit of fun while being held hostage. No big deal. Right? Dammit, she was so confused.

“Marcus what would you say if I said I sort of had sex while we were being held hostage?”

He seemed to think about it. “I guess I would say wow, good for you, but not only that. I could really see you doing that. Being defiant to the bitter end.”

“Exactly. I didn’t want to let them win. I wanted to go out my way if I was going to go out.”

“Well, how did you sort of have sex?” Marcus lifted a brow.

“It doesn’t matter. The point is I didn’t cower.”

“It does matter. I’m curious.” He leaned in closer to her.

She pushed him away.”I’m not giving you all the gory details. I don’t kiss and tell.” She laughed and left to help a new customer. She glanced back at the desk and Marcus mouthed, ‘tell me’. She shook her head and continued toward the customer.

“Hi, welcome to the Treasure Chest. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Yeah,” he said turning around to face her. “You can tell me why you’ve been avoiding me.” Jarrod stood tall and brooding over her, making her feel small.

She swallowed hard and pointed to a lube. “This cherry flavored lube is one of our best sellers if you’re interested in lubes.” She was buying time. Time to think, time to regroup. Her insides were scattered to the four winds. Jarrod, her Jarrod stood mere inches away from her. He was gorgeous, healed and strong.

“I don’t want a lube unless I’m gonna use it on you. Maybe something like a paddle would be better.”

“A paddle? What the hell would you want to spank me for?” Damn that sounded good to her but she couldn’t let him know that.

“For not coming to see me in the hospital and for not coming in the bank to see me for three weeks now. I’ve waited and waited, but you’ve been avoiding me. I made a promise to you that you would get yours. I plan to make good on my promise. What time do you get off?”

“Eleven o’clock.” She clamped her hand over her mouth. She hadn’t meant to give in to him, but her body seemed to have a mind of its own.

“I’m going to buy a few things and I’ll pick you up at eleven. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be here waiting for me. If I have to hunt you down, it’ll be worse on you. I’m not an easy lover. Now that I don’t have a gun on me I can show you who I really am. I’m now coward, I’m no sap and I damn sure ain’t a victim.” He stroked her bottom lip with his thumb.

Those words melted her. She should have been a puddle of want and need lying in the floor. He was a different man, a really sexy man. He exuded confidence and power. A power she hadn’t noticed before. She recognized the fact that she was standing here with a Dom. Holy shit, I’ll definitely be here waiting.

“No, you’re definitely not a victim. You’re something else entirely. I like you this way sport. I’ll be here waiting. She straightened a tube on the display shelf.

“Where are the paddles? I’ll also need some nipple clamps and a butt plug.” His expression didn’t change. He was completely composed as he listed the toys she knew would be for her.

“The paddles are in the back of the store on the left and nipple clamps are on aisle two, and the butt plugs are in the dildo section right over there. Do you need assistance?” She couldn’t help the huskiness that bled through her voice. She could do this, she wanted this. It would be one night of pure unadulterated lust. She hadn’t been laid in quite a while, so yes, she wanted this. She would finally get hers.

David had it. He had the proof he needed on this little piece of film. There she was with that bastard Jeff, straddling him, riding him just like she used to do with him. Somehow he would make Mellissa pay. He didn’t even know when things had gone so wrong. They seemed happy and all the sudden she grew cold, distant and eventually they didn’t even touch.

She always had an excuse. “I’m tired,” she said every other night. He missed licking her sweet juices from her pussy; he missed her riding him like she was in this damn photo.

Excerpt from The Bank Job a new work in progress

“Are you crazy? Why in the hell would you keep pissing them off? Aren’t you afraid you’re going to get shot?” He couldn’t help the stern tone of his voice. She defied all logic, pushing their buttons the way she had. And it was turning him on beyond all reason. He didn’t even know her name. He should have paid more attention when he was making her deposit.

She looked at him like he must be crazy. “I’m not going out cringing in fear. If I’m going to die, it won’t be for a lack of fighting. I can’t sit back and cower like the rest of you.

“What is your name?” He had to know before he kissed her. He’d never met anyone like her. Probably never would again. She had such strength. She was so in control. He wanted that careful control to vanish under his touch.

“Kat, but you already knew that. You were depositing my check remember? But I suppose it does say Katherine, but people call me Kat. So if you call me Katherine, I’ll knock your teeth down your throat.” She glared at him like she was challenging him to do it.

“Look Kat, I just want to make it through this. Now settle down and let’s concentrate on trying to get out of here.” He stared her in the eye.

“Good Idea. Maybe we could find a back door and get out.” She started to rise and he pulled her back down.

“No. I meant cooperate with them and survive.” He huffed out a breath.

“Aren’t you the brave one?” She asked sarcastically. She shook off his hand and stood, peeking out the door. “Is there a back door close by? Or an open window or something?” She stared at him waiting.

“No there isn’t. The only other exit is on the other side of the bank and we’d have to go by them to get there.” He pinched the bridge of his nose, his headache was pounding now. He remembered how nervous she seemed in the line and wondered if she didn’t have something to do with this. She was the only one to mouth off at them after all. She hadn’t seemed too afraid of them ever. Maybe the Dick guy was her boyfriend and this whole thing was an act.

“What’s your name?” She put her hands on her hips. It was difficult seeing all of her actions in the dark. He could only make her out when she was close to him. He had the only glass office in the building. The rest were all walled up with the exception of one small blind covered window.  This one in particular was the smallest office and was a bit claustrophobic for him. He was thankful he had her to distract him.

“My name is Jarrod.”

“Well Jarrod, do you have any ideas other than to roll over and die?” She squat back down so he could see her eyes. The small cracks of sunlight shone through the slats in the closed blinds, giving him just enough light to see her up close. She was still gorgeous even if suicidal.

“No I don’t. Why don’t you sit back down with me and we can talk this out.” He just wanted her near him so he could smell her sweet clean scent. He might be in a hostage situation, but his body was responding to the pink tipped spiky haired woman. He’d never met anyone like her. Probably never would again and if she was in on it he would be the fool, but somehow he knew she wasn’t. At least his libido did.

“Sit down and what? Wait for them to come in here and kill us or worse to tell us we’re not going anywhere.”

That caught his attention. “So worse than being killed would be the news you’re not going anywhere?” He raised a brow.

“Yes I have a job I need to get to. I can’t stay here I need my job. If I get fired, I might as well be dead.” She shivered.

He pulled her down next to him without thinking about the consequences.

“Hey get your damn hands off me. I’m not your toy to play with. I almost decked that Dick bastard, so don’t think I won’t do it to you.” She balled up her tiny fists.

“Can’t you stop playing the tough girl act for five minutes? I’m just trying to get to know you. I’m not the one with a gun remember?” He patted the plain grey carpeted floor next to him. He wanted her to calm down enough to find out more about her.

“Did you get my transaction completed before the Three Stooges came in?” I need that money in my account. I won’t be able to pay my rent without it.” She sat down next to him and hugged her knees.

Finally, she calms down.

So she was in financial trouble. He grew more suspicious of her. Still attracted, but suspicious none the less. “Yes, I completed it.” He scooted a little closer to her hoping she hadn’t noticed. He saw the glint of light reflecting off the diamond in her nose. He’d never cared for facial piercings but on her it worked. She had her ears pierced twice and her eyebrow had a tiny hoop in it. She wore a liberal amount of eyeliner and dark grey eye shadow. It fit her. It completed her look and matched her personality and he found himself getting hard being this close to her.

“Thank you. I needed to hear that. That’s the only thing that’s gone right in my life for a while now.” She smiled at him.

“I’m glad I was the one you came to.” Her smile was beautiful. She looked so sweet when she wasn’t acting so tough. He wondered what made her that way. Whatever it was it must have been traumatic. He imagined it was probably an abusive husband or boyfriend. He checked her ring finger and nothing. That made him smile. Maybe she was available. He imagined her under him screaming his name. He could clearly picture her face with her mouth open taking him in, her perfect bow lips stretching around his cock. He inhaled drawing attention to himself.

“Are you alright? Did they hit you in the head while you were in the vault?” She laughed soft and low.

“No. I’m fine. They didn’t do anything to me, but have me open the vault. I helped them fill their bags and we came back into the lobby.” He shrugged.

“You helped them?” She scoffed.

“Yes. I helped them. I didn’t realize we had a warrior princess in the lobby that was going to save us all.”

“Smartass.” She punched him on the shoulder.

“Hey, stop that.” He rubbed and rotated his arm and sighed. “What do you think they’re gonna do with us?” He rolled his head in her direction.

“I don’t know. Maybe they’ll kill us, maybe they won’t. Either way I’m not going down without a fight. That Dick sonofabitch hit me. I won’t let that slide. One way or another he’ll pay for that.

“Are you crazy? He has a gun. A big gun if you hadn’t noticed and I imagine he wouldn’t have a problem shooting you.” He scrubbed his hands down his face.

“No. I’m not crazy. I wish you would stop asking me that. I just don’t back down from a fight. I never have and I’m not going to start now.”

“Not even if you’re only bringing a fist to a gunfight?”

She shook her head. “Not even then, but if you hadn’t noticed I have two fists and two feet. I can kick ass with the best of them. Are you with me or do you need to sit this one out?” she pushed herself up on her heels.

His eyes went wide. “You mean now? Like, right now?” He grabbed her hand without thinking about it. She glanced down to their connection and frowned.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” She snatched her hand away.

“What happened to you?” His question was out before he could call it back. He regretted his words as soon as they were spoken.

She recoiled immediately. “It’s none of your damn business. Now if we’re done playing shrink the patient, why don’t we concentrate on how the hell to get out of this mess?”

“Fine, but we’re going to stay here. I’m the manager and the safety of my customers and employees are top priority. So we can wait it out together.” He hoped like hell she’d sit back down and stop acting like she could kill them all with her hands. Whatever had happened to her was bad. Someone really did a number on her. He wondered how many bruises it would take to make someone that hard and immediately felt sorry for her.
