Synopsis (Goodreads):

What’s worse than crash landing on an ice planet? Discovering that it’s controlled by a group of angry elves who escaped from the North Pole!

Kringl wants nothing more than to return to his home world, but first he’ll have to escape from the frozen world that’s kept in a state of perpetual, joyless celebration. Even worse, it’s always Christmas Eve, but never Christmas Day.

Joy is determined to escape the ice planet she and her fellow humans were marooned on years ago. She can’t stand the constant fake celebration or disgruntled elves who ensure they're never rescued.

When the handsome, blue alien and his crew arrive, Joy knows this is her chance. But when Kringl is captured, Joy must rescue him before they can both escape. That is, if the angry elves don’t stop them both.

Thoughts on Kringl: The holidays are fun and everything, but being caught in a town that celebrates perpetual Christmas (at least that's what it looks like at first glance) would be a real drag after a while. Especially if you were being held prisoner there by a group of kinda evil elves.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. It all starts when an alien prince is forced to make an emergency landing on an icy planet. Unfortunately for Kringl (but probably fortunately for the poor folk being held against their will there), the town near where they crashed is...not as friendly as it looks on the surface. As in, a group of elves (who aren't nearly as kind and cuddly as the stories tell us) are determined to keep the town in a perpetual state of Christmas. By that, I mean it's always the day before Christmas so Christmas never comes and they can celebrate into perpetuity.

Which is REALLY not fun for the poor people trapped there.

One of those people? Joy. When she sees Kringl's ship crash, she figures it's her chance to escape and find a way to help the others. As you might imagine, things don't go quite as smoothly as she planned. Soon she's breaking an alien prince out of solitary, hiding him out in her cabin, planning a little rebellion, and falling hard for the big, honorable alien.

Some kissing, some sneaking around, some thrilling heroics all around. *thumbs up*
