Synopsis: It's all merry and bright, unless you're the janitor.

Triana Moore doesn't hate Christmas, but tinsel tidying is terrible. When her bots stop vacuuming, Triana must find out why.

Like Santa up a chimney, she zips to the upper levels of the space station to apprehend the culprit: a mystery man with a magnetic personality confusing the computers. He can't remember his own name, but he can access the most secure areas of the station with a smile, and not leave a trace.

To save Christmas, and the board of directors' all-important holiday party, Triana must enlist all her friends--and a few enemies. When they look in their stockings on Christmas morning, who will find candy and who will find coal?

My rating: ★★★★☆

Another Space Janitor Christmas novella, but this one set on the space station! In this one, Triana helps out a hot Santa-type who lost his memories. I could not stop laughing! And especially the Space Santa Song 🤣

Space Santa! Watch him fly
Space Santa! He’s our guy
Space Santa! Bringing gifts to all
Space Santa! Space Santa!

When the audiobook of this book came out I decided to re-read it on audio just because of this song, and it was the best decision of my life. Lol It was just so good! The narrator was great! She captured Triana’s sass perfectly, and she voiced the other characters very well too. And her voice is just soothing. I loved it!

This story was a lot of fun! Throughout the whole thing you’re wondering if this guy is actually who you think it is. And I’m not about to say one way or another 😆 But I’ll tell you this: As someone who grew up watching The Santa Clause, I really appreciated a certain reference 😏

I love this series! It’s just a light, fun read with lots of laughs. And I just love Triana and her sassiness. She was so done with the festivities because all the décor kept messing up her bots 😂 We also got to see Kara and Erco, and Ty, of course! I just really enjoyed this!
