Krampus and the Crone: A SciFi Alien Warrior Romance (Horned Holidays) Kindle Edition

by Honey Phillips (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 2,626 ratings
Can a horned alien warrior and an isolated woman grant two children their holiday wish for a family?

Jaelle is lonely. Ostracized by the village, like her mother and grandmother before her, she poses as an old witch in order to eke out a meager living selling herbal remedies to people who don't want to admit they need her help. When children start disappearing from the village, she is determined to find an answer to the riddle. She doesn't expect to find a massive, horned alien - one who sees through all her disguises.

Since crash-landing on K.R.S Three, Commander Krampusarian D'Marchandar spends his time working on his ship and secretly observing the other inhabitants. During his explorations, he discovers a strange, beautiful female. It is an impossible attraction - but when he sees her treatment at the hands of the other villagers, he decides she is his to protect.

A sweet and steamy holiday tale featuring two precocious orphans, a determined heroine, an unexpected hero, and, of course, a very happy ending! (Intended for mature audiences.)

  1. His people had long abandoned such primitive mating rituals. Physical contact was to be avoided. Alliances were arranged for mutual benefit, and if a child was desired, a carefully selected egg would be quickly and efficiently fertilized.

  2. As she left the cottage in the familiar disguise, she blew a kiss at the small stone that marked her grandmother’s passing, snugly settled next to Jaelle’s mother, and her great-grandmother and all the women in her family back to the first ill-fated ancestor to land on this planet.

  3. Jaelle’s face appeared in his mind, smiling at him, smiling down at the children. He couldn’t be with them but at least he wouldn’t have to leave them behind. He was smiling when the ship crashed into the mountain.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2024

    This was such a sweet, spicy and wholesome holiday alien romance with a unique twist on the Krampus legend. I loved how Krampusarian brought so much goodness into the world of K.S.R. Three. Between the children, Jaelle and Puppy, he truly impacted their lives for the better and vice versa. The found family vibes in this story were just so wholesome and good! It really gave this book a cozy, comfort-read kind of feel.
    I also really enjoyed Krampusarian's alien background. He comes from a world where physical intimacy is shunned and births are artificially created. So to see him fall for Jaelle and give into his attraction for her was just heartwarming, sweet and spicy. I'm so glad that this book ended on a happy, beautiful note. Overall, this was a really sweet holiday read that I definitely would recommend!

    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024

    Which is to say, very unlike the legend.

    In fact, our Krampus here could easily be a Santa or any other 100% good guy hero.

    It’s not a bad story. The main characters are fairly interesting, the kids are not super-annoying, and I loved the little drone-bird. But it only barely mirrors anything Christmas or Krampus-like, which feels like a missed opportunity.

    Krampus-ness: 1/5
    Spice: 1/5
    Christmas pop culture jokes: 1/5

    Take a Christmas legend, add a little science fiction, a lot of romance and a very little pinch of angst and you have a recipe for a good story with well made characters. It was surprising to find all those elements combined and I liked how it was positive

    When Krampasarian crash-lands with his spaceship on a strange planet, he is surprised, how backward it is, compared to the planet, from which he comes. With his drones he observes the lifeforms of this planet. He is fascinated by an older woman, who looks like a witch and is ostracized by the village people, but turns out to be a beautiful young woman, when she has taken off her disguise. Jaelle helps the villagers for little money and gives them medicine. When she hears, that two orphans are missing, she is the one to go and search for them on the mountain. As she is attacked by a fearsome animal it is Krampasarian, who comes to help and rescues her. From the very beginning both are attracted to each other like they have never felt before ........
    I enjoyed reading the book. It is a heartwarming and entertaining story analogous to the Krampus legend and it contains love, adventure, suspense and hot romantic scenes. The characters are strong and resourceful. I highly recommend this book.
