Ayeeee the veterans are eating for free 🇺🇸…. Pull up on meeeh!!
This was a spicy lil read and I absolutely LOVED the comedic banter between Jabari and Nikkita!
An unexpected reunion between two old high school friends that lost touch during college, landed Nikki with a love egg in her yoni and orgasms while serving up free meals to the Veterans!
Jabari was definitely eating for free and Nikki was serving up the 🐱 like Little Cesar’s, hot and ready! 😈 I would love an update on these two in the future because the chemistry and vibe was everything!

Vets eating😝 for free
Listen this is how I like my Holiday stories!! Short, sweet, on theme and sexy af.
This story did not disappoint. Jabari and Nikki went to high school together and this was their first time seeing each other in over a decade. Jabari just happened to be getting his free Veterans meal at the restaurant Nikki worked at. Turns out he wanted more than the food that was on the menu😝 and Nikki happily obliged😏. I loved their banter, their chemistry, and spontaneity.
This is my first Veterans day romance and it was perfect! These Christmas books better take note!!

spicy, quick, little "i've been obsessed with you since high school" novella. 10/10.

I love, love, love, your hook up stories! This one here honey was hot and sexy as hell! 🔥 Jabari and Nikki’s bumping into each other was random, and unexpected. However, their chemistry, and past competitiveness flew right to the surface, and it was game on! The way they teased, and their playful banter was hysterical! But, whew…. Jabari knew exactly what he wanted, and he zeroed in on Nikki. I will never look at Veteran’s Day the same again. 🥵 I hope to see these two again. Great short!

Thank you for the service
Let's all thank Jabari for his service, I know Nikkita was especially thankful. Once again, this author delivered a thoughtful short story centred around a holiday hook up, and a sexy treat. Since this one was so brief, I'll just say, you need to take this trip to Veteran's appreciate day. I salute you.

Nikita x Jabari
Them Zola Patterson hook up stories be sexy AF. This one, just like the others, definitely delivered. Nikita and Jabari reunited years after HS by happenstance. They
had all the chemistry and the sexy witty banter. The whole concept of the love egg was hot AF... believe me, I know 🙃😉
Only D.A. can make a Veterans' day story this sexy.
Get into these shorts, y'all.

A perfect "Quick" Read
A quick but spicy read! I love the story of Nikkita and Jabari, reunited years after high school. Nikkita is the best server at her restaurant and is all geared up to serve the Veterans on Veteran's Day.
In walks high school her nemesis, Jabari. Both feel the spark ignited by the kindling of things unspoken. Over the course of a lunch break, Nikki and Jabari realize that there is a perfect storm that's brewing.

Good spicy read. The characters were as fleshed out as could be. Two attractive people reunite after 10 years on Veterans Day, there’s a little flirting and banter and two extremely spicy scenes. Nice bow on it. The End. Job well done in my book.

Looking for Jabari…..
You know Veterans Day is not supposed to have any spice but Danielle Allen manages to make all these holidays HOT. The chemistry between Nikki and Jabari was everything. They had this flirty, competitive banter that really had me invested in them. The tension was built up so well, there was nothing I didn’t love about this one.
Crossing my fingers that we get to see these two in the future.

A time was definitely had with Jabari & Nikki! Jabari I truly think you for your service boo! 🤪

Thank you for your service
Jabari didn’t have to eat us up like this! Literally! Lol. Danielle can write just about any holiday but when it’s such a random holiday it’s even better. Nikki made sure to fulfill her job with feeding veterans but Jabari had the best meal in my opinion lol. Can’t wait to read another one of Miss Zola hookups. Definitely recommend

Nikki and Jabari are old high school rivals who meet again while Nikki is serving free meals for Veteran's Day. But they're not in high school anymore.
This was a cute short. Nikki and Jabari had great chemistry and their banter was nice. The practical joking and the past reminiscing did seem to bog the story down for me, but it was their only connection, so I guess I understand it. I like that they didn't want to leave each other. That was nice.

I smiled the entire time
Demolished this in less than an hour and had the best time doing it! Danielle Allen never misses when it comes to quick, sexy, and heart-warming holiday reads. This one had me grinning like a fool, blushing every few pages, and fully invested in Jabari and Nikki’s chemistry from the start.
The setup alone? A veteran stopping in for a free meal and ending up getting served way more than he expected 👀. Their reunion was equal parts flirty, nostalgic, and deliciously hot. I loved how the story still managed to sprinkle in warmth and gratitude for Veterans Day while keeping that signature Danielle Allen spice and banter.
Short, sweet, spicy, and perfectly paced — the kind of novella that reminds you why you love holiday romances. Jabari definitely ate for free and Nikki made sure of it 😂.
If you’re in the mood for a feel-good, low-drama, high-heat read that’ll leave you smiling long after the last page — this one’s it.

Veterans Eat Free
Nikkita didn’t think her Veterans Day shift as a waitress will be any different from any other work day. The last thing she expected was to reunite with a high school classmate.
Jabari entered a restaurant with the good intentions of providing a kind act to someone in need. He never thought the opportunity would occur for him to run into someone (Nikkita) he once competed with in high school.
1 free lunch, a discounted Veterans Day dinner, an egg, and insatiable appetite leads to this Veteran definitely eating for free in more ways than one.
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Shout out to Danielle Allen because this novella was beyond entertaining and had me giggling at the banter.

Fun fact about me- I can’t resist devouring a “hot holiday hookup” novella by Danielle Allen. And let me tell you, "Eats for Free" is not an exception. Jabari knew exactly what he wanted and baby Nikki was at the top of his menu. The dynamic between these two was sexy & enjoyable to read. Their competitive spirits added an exciting element to their relationship, and their past history only added to their intense chemistry, passion and witty banter.
This short story may be brief, but it packs a powerful punch that left me fully satisfied and craving more from this couple. I highly recommend reading this book

Tension-building steamy novella 🌶️
I can already see that these Hot Holiday Hookups are about to be a whole problem LOL they are short and spicy, nice little 'in between big books' kind of reads.
I loved the sexual tension between the two main characters... the very realistic flirting and build up... the inclusion of the toys, which I think on some level is almost every woman's fantasy... I loved his confidence and menacing sexual dominance... How he would ask permission even though he knew he was taking it. The whole thing was just sexy as hell to me but I'm a little freaky so... Yeah, read the book.

loved it
Of course on Veteran’s Day, veterans get whatever they want and Jabria wanted Nikikita, so that’s what he got.
Pebbles, the restaurant Nikikita work at was giving free meals to veterans for Veteran’s day and in walks her old classmate, who happens to be in the Navy, who she had a crush on before he moved due to some family stuff. And unknowingly he had a crush on her too.
Spending her lunch break getting caught up and coming back for dinner before he went back out of town for a job interview. They flirted and she let him eat and the rest was history.
If you love a good reunion erotic romance novella then this book is for you!

Oowee
This was so much fun. I loved the chemistry between the lead characters. Their longstanding history made for a sweet backstory. Their reunion went from cute to steaming hot real quick. Once Jabari took control, I was completely sold. He was such a confident leader. I can see why Nikkita was so willing to follow his lead. Their time together was short, but packed with so much good energy. I really enjoyed this installment in the Hot Hookup series. I just wish I could’ve had a little less Jayla and a lot more Jabari and Nikkita.

Your Service
Nikki and Jabari were fun. Thank you, Danielle Allen, for creating a novella for Veteran's Day and showcasing the good many restaurants do to honor those who have served and are currently serving. What touched my heart was how Jabari stood up for Nikki and why he was still hungry.
Don't get me wrong, the sexiness was eyeroll worthy. It was the great deeds that did me in.

Short, smutty, rekindled childhood friendship, veterans day, adult novelty store. All that combine for this novella which is a recount of a spicy Veteran’s Day between Jabari and Nikki. The boss said Veteran’s eat for free and that’s exactly what Nikki let him do. If you want to read about a man talking his lady thru it, this one is for you!

Every woman deserves to get eaten for free!!
This is my favorite out of the holiday hookup series! It has just the right amount of swooning and smut! Jabari is another my man my man my man added to the list!

Veterans Day
Who knew Veterans Day could be so hot?? When Jabari and Nikki reunite years after being each other's high school competition, these two pick things up and take it to the next level. I love Danielle Allen's holiday hookups and always want more.
