    This story blew me away. It is the most beautiful love story and a beautiful early Christmas gift from this amazing author. It is not only a story of baby Hope's first Christmas but how her mother Brie experiences the magic of Christmas as her husband Thane who is not a fan of it, gives her the most beautiful Christmas surprising her with family and friends. Many of the amazing characters from the training center are again in this amazing story including Miss Clarke who opens up to Brie. There is lots of kinky fun. Red Phoenix has again outdone herself and given her readers the most beautiful Christmas present with this joyful and fun story. If I could I would give this 10 stars!
  • Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019
    Red Phoenix continues to outdo herself. She always brings every thing to the table, to give her fans the best adventure a reader can hope for.

    From page one, there is a smile on your face. The holiday season is full of kinky fun and new memories. What better way to experience Christmas, than though a child's eyes. Or though the eyes of someone experiencing the spirit of Christmas, perhaps for first time.

    The gang once again comes together to spend the holidays with family. Not all blood family, but family from the heart.
    Heartwarming moments. And kinky fun, which involves some sexy, panties dropping Doms.

    And we continue to learn more about the people we have all come to love. Surprising admissions come to light. It will definitely leave you with more understanding.

    Can't wait to see what Red Phoenix has in store for the gang in their next adventure.

    Hope first Christmas is a beautiful sweet story it shows what a group of people who have become family will do for each other for love and how the love of a child can heal and change broken hearts. This story is about forgiveness. Sir learns and shows others that you can honor the past of good memories without letting tragedy own and consume you. A little girl named Hope has healed & brought so much joy into Brie, Sir, & her uncle's lives, and she even soften Ms. Clark's heart. This story has me laughing out loud and crying tears of joy & sadness.

    Red Phoenix has made the Christmas season one you wish to be a part of! The many cast of characters that you have loved throughout the Brie’s submission series are all here, and ready to enjoy the holidays, BDSM style! The love we see between Sir and Brie, towards each other, and their daughter, is inspiring and awesome to read. Of course it wouldn’t be any fun without our favorite Russian-Rytsar, and all of his grand gestures and sense of humor!
    Read Hope’s First Christmas today, and get into the spirit of the holiday, and to enjoy the sexy, steamy relationships of everyone involved!

    This may be my favorite book in the series so far! In Hope's First Christmas; Red Phoenix brought back all of the magic that is Christmas, but adds the erotic steamy scenes that will bring a new heat to any Christmas. Hope's First Christmas not only transported me to the best Christmas times I've ever experienced, every fantasy I didn't even know I had... But it is the perfect reminder of what the Season is about - giving and all that fantastic memories are made of!

    I have read everything currently in this series and am a devoted reader now to everything written by Red Phoenix. She is an amazing author who is also so in touch with her readers that you can hardly breathe until she gets her next story out. She has intimate knowledge of her subject material and draws you right in for a bird’s eye view. Kudos to Red Phoenix!
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2019
    Of course with Red Phoenix we wouldn't expect anything less. If you've been reading this series (Brie's Submission) you've already fallen in love with the characters but it gives a newer insight into the relationship between the folks you've grown to love.
    This book has all the emotions, even for characters who don't want to deal with emotions. Such touching memories will bring Christmas past back for the reader. All the feels and humor, thanks to Lea, that we've come to expect in a Red Phoenix book, and of course, they love to get down and dirty too. Incredible use of a motorcycle!

    Reviewed in Australia on November 6, 2019
    As with every single book in this series I couldn't wait to read the newest addition. Like every book in the series, I couldn't put it down. Like every book I got to the end feeling like I wanted more.

    Red Phoenix you are the queen of literary addiction. You have fast become my fave author. With the amount of us that love Brie and Sir, not to mention the rest of the crew, I think you will need to keep adding to the series until Sir and Brie are in their footage, Hope has 6 kids all grown up and now looks after her parents and her Dyadya in a cabin in Russia, pushing them around in wheelchairs. I'm not sure I can wait til March. Oh well back to the beginning again.

    I've read all of the books and loved them all. I enjoyed the series because it went from a very well written erotic fiction novel to a brilliant series of twisting and turning stories about the lives of people around Brie but peppered with kinky scenes. What's not to love?
