When widow, Sara Marks, hears her Grams has gone on the lam from Happy Acres Residence on Christmas Eve – on Santa’s arm, no less -- she teams up with sexy stranger, Francisco de la Vega, to chase the couple down with one thing in mind. Keep her Grams from becoming Mrs. Claus. Of course, Francisco's grandfather is not really Santa Claus, but Grams did run off to Vegas to marry him and she's obviously not in her right mind.

Sara leaves her seven-month-old baby, Lanie, with a friend and she and Cisco head west in the worst snowstorm in decades, chasing his grandfather's '57 Ford Fairlane over the river and through the woods.

Will they catch Santa and his crazy Mrs. Claus before it's too late? Or will love stop them in their tracks?

(Novelette, approximately 17,000 words/50 pages)

About the Author

Amazon Bestselling Author Karen Docter writes two different kinds of romance novels...

Contemporary Romance w/a Karen Docter: Romance...With a Kick! Amazon Author Page: goo.gl/FwhxNC

Romantic Suspense w/a K.L. Docter: Women hunted by killers...men who'd die to protect them. Amazon Author Page: goo.gl/igvR0k

Karen's contemporaries are delightful, spicy romances. She loves writing about real men and women with dreams and goals that don't allow for a relationship just so she can throw them in each others path.

Her romantic suspense novels (as K.L. Docter) are also filled with romance, although the dangers the hero and heroine face are intense, usually because a serial killer is bent on ending one or both of their lives before they can fall in love.

Karen/K.L.'s an award-winning author, a four-time Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® finalist, and won the coveted Kiss of Death Romance Writers Daphne du Maurier Award Category (Series) Romantic Mystery Unpublished division.

When she's not saving her characters from death and destruction or helping them to fall in love, she loves camping and fishing with her family, reading, gardening & cooking. If she can do most of those things over a campfire, all the better! Website/Blog: karendocter.com

REVIEWS:
Cop On Her Doorstep, True Love In Uniform Book 1: I received a copy of this book for an honest review. "Cop on Her Doorstep" was an excellent read! Carrie is a widow with an eight year old son, Eric. Carrie meets Italian Officer Jake Stafani because he caught Eric trying to break into his house. Carrie doesn't like cops because a cop had killed her husband. Jake is going through some tough decisions in his life at the time they met. Carrie and Jake are unable to ignore the chemistry they both felt when they first meet. Jake and Carrie's romance was sweet, steamy, and sensual. The relationship between Jake and Eric was heartwarming. I really enjoyed the story. It gets your attention right away. I couldn't put it down. I finished in one day. You get steamy romance, values in life, relationships in our lives, and HEA. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and other books by Karen Docter. Karen is now on my list of favorite authors. BookSnuggle ~ Reviewer
Killing Secrets, Thorne’s Thorns Book 1: ”The first sentence, in the villain's point of view, sent chills up my spine, and I was hooked. This romantic suspense is full of wonderful secrets, twists, turns and has an evil serial killing villain. The kind of killer we see on the TV show CRIMINAL MINDS." - Bernadette Cychner, Reader, RT Book Reviews

Grams ran off with Santa

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015

“ 'What do you mean, Grams ran off with Santa Claus?' Sara Marks stared at the first floor orderly, Buddy Cantor, who’d met her outside her grandmother’s room at Happy Acres Residence." And thus begins Sara's search for Grams and Santa.

However, Sara is not alone in her search because as it turns out, Santa's grandson has come to Happy Acres to see his grandfather - the missing Santa. Sara receives a note from her grandmother telling her that her Christmas present is under the bed, and when she opens it, an envelope falls out addressed to Cisco, the grandson, just as her is entering the room. In both notes the grandchildren are told their grandparents will meet them in Vegas!

Sara and Cisco are off to stop a wedding, but they must drive through the worst blizzard Denver has seen in quite some time. This will be quite an adventure so Sara leaves her infant daughter with a friend as she convinces this total stranger she IS going to Vegas whether he takes her or she goes alone!

During the drive Sara begins to wonder if stopping the wedding is really what she wants to do or if Grams has the right idea after all. She thinks she has figured out why Grams ran away with Santa, and maybe Grams and Santa had planned this for a while.

Fun little Christmas story that doesn't take too long to read. Probably more for the ladies than the guys; and you will most likely know how this will end long before you get there, but that's okay. It is still a good story for the season. Grab a hot chocolate or cider and enjoy!

A sweet and funny Christmas novelette

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023

"Catch That Santa" is such a funny and completely satisfying holiday themed short read. I won't reveal anything more than what you already find in the official description cause that would spoil the surprise. But you won't be disappointed. I just loved it!

A story that takes off as fast as it's cover

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Catch That Santa starts out as breathtaking as it's cover. Sara arrives at the old folks home where Grams insisted on living only to find Santa has run off with her! When Santa's grandson arrives, they conspire to find their missing grandparents, who are off to Vegas, before something—like a surprise wedding—happens. Despite Cisco's reluctance to take Sara with him, she joins him anyway, nursing him from illness during a hours long traffic jam caused by a typical Colorado rock slide, and figuring out that her Grams is okay after all and looking forward to sharing this new stage of life with her and having Cisco there, too.

Monica is the only thing in the way between Sara and Cisco, at least in Sara's mind. Before Cisco has a chance to explain anything to her, Grams takes one disappointed look at the hurt in her granddaughter's eyes and provides distraction so she can escape the rest of the wedding celebration. Sara hails a taxi, driven by none other than a Santa driving. Cisco is on the chase again to Catch That Santa and the love of his life before it's too late.

This is a short but very enjoyable read. Docter takes a romantic cliche and weaves her own spin on it, with delightful charm and wit, leaving you stuck in the SUV with them as they wait out the rock slide clearing, munching (and tasting) those Funyons along with the characters, and finding your own heart skipping a beat when they finally get that kiss you've been dying for them to have. This should be on everyone's holiday reading list, and is the perfect length to boost your reading goals for the end of the year.

Catch That Santa is a sweet romantic story with a few twists. Five star.

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015

Verified Purchase

I received a free kindle copy of Catch That Santa by Karen Docter from an Amazon promotion in exchange for a fair review. I gave it five stars.

It's a sweet romantic story with a few twists. I like a 'feel good' story to read between some of my more intense reading. This one satisfied that need.

A gold '57 Ford Fairlane convertible is the vehicle of choice for Grams & Raphael in the escape from a nursing home to elope in Las Vegas. Left behind is a set of instructions & a beautiful dress for Sara Marks to wear when she gets to Vegas where she will join her Grams. Sara is a widow with a young daughter.

Francisco de la Vegas was the one they planned to escort Sara. He is the grandson of Raphael who Grams had known many years before.

He's in a relationship with the bossy, manipulative daughter of the man who he has submitted his proposal for a major architectural project.

Will Sara & Cisco catch the elderly couple to prevent their wedding? Will Cisco learn that Sara could be the catch of his life? Or will he be trapped in a marriage of convenience?
