This was a pleasant surprise!! I really enjoyed this story! Nicolette was a birdbrain going to spend Christmas with a man she just met online and she got way more than she bargained for. Things did end up working out for her in the end so that was a plus! This was a NTMA and I will for sure read more from her!!

CUTE!!

To meet a man online, you go visit him for Christmas just for your new man to be moving weight from his apartment & he gets into a shootout 😂🤣… like 🤔 huh!

Elias & Nicolette were a cute couple though.

Saved for love

Nicolette🤦🏾‍♀️ Chile ain't no way I would have walked into a trap house like it was all good. I side eyed her heavily with the poor decision making. Luckily Elias came to save the day.

I love how the author basically left ole boy at the table like Grey did iykyk 🤣🤣🤣 because we never heard from him again. It was a decent quick read.

Such a sweet book, it was very easy to read. I liked how easily Elias was there for Nicolette. I kind of felt bad for her but when they pulled up to the hood I had to laugh. Prince was not who she thought he was😂. Definitely a Christmas fell through and through.

Great Read!

Absolutely a great holiday romantic read even when her original online date ended up in some chaos. I loved how the two main characters were able to find love! A whirlwind romance with definitely a rich stranger!

Cute and simple !

Christmas

This was a great novella. Nicolette had to learn the hard way that her parents were right. She thought she could travel across the country by herself to meet a guy she met online. She found out that it wasn’t what she thought, then she meets the perfect stranger.

This was a cute read. I was laughing in the beginning because Nicolette was all over the place but I loved how optimistic she was. Prince had this girl in the ghetto. I hope he’s ok lol. But Nicolette ended up meeting Elias who turned out to be a good man with a meddling aunt (but in a good way) and they both ended up falling in love. I enjoyed this novella. Highly recommend if you want to laugh and want to read an instalove story.

An amazing holiday read!!!

This was a really good holiday read not only was it well written it didn’t feel too rushed while it is novella, the pace was great. I hope everyone finds themselves an Elias Moore! I can’t wait to read more of Lesanda Moore work!

This was a cute read. I thought the guy Nicolette met offline was going to be a catfish or no show. This went an unexpected direction and Elias was there to save the day.
Low key wanted more drama😂

Tonya

Elias and Nicolette. He saved her life. Why did she go see someone she met online. She could have gotten hurt. A blessing in disguise

Elias & Nicolette.
KINDLE.

This was short and sweet — got a story, got some drama, got some spice.. even got some actual content in terms of storyline.

I almost want more! But keep it short.
Love it!

Very cute holiday read!

[Jacknthebooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this Christmas book. Now Nicolette knew better than to go off to meet a man she met online for Christmas. I mean stranger danger, lol. She received the shock of her life when she got there too. Luckily, luck was on her side, and her driver Elias was there to save her when she needed it.

Elias wanted love but ended up with women who were only after his money. Who would've thought he would find love filling in for one of his drivers.

I absolutely enjoyed this book. It read just like a holiday movie that I would want to watch. I liked both families in this story, even though Nicolette's daddy was doing too much. Aunt T was hands down my favorite character. She knew that Nicolette was the perfect match for her nephew, and she helped him see it.

Another one!

I truly enjoyed this cute novella. I enjoyed reading about Elias and Nicole, for short. A cute holiday romance for keeps.

Elias!!!!!

I need more from Elias And Nicolette!!!! This was a great read, it doesn’t always have to have the drug dealer(even though I love it)it’s good to have rich positive black men

[Jasmine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute

This was a quick and cute Christmas story. Elias wanted genuine love and so did Nicolette. I’m glad they found each other.

Great short read

This book was good, I'm happy Nicollet got away from the prince that was really a frog. Love always win.

[Authoress Nadia Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved It!

This story had me hooked from the first few chapters, and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen.
Christmas with a Rich Stranger was not your typical Hallmark/cookie cutter story. Nicolette was catfished when her online date wasn't who she thought he was, but her story gives new meaning to everything happens for a reason!!!! I loved this story from cover to cover. Lesanda Moore definitely did her thing with this one!

[Fatima Munroe · Rating 5 out of 5]

LOVED THIS.

Prince, aka Toxic Tyrone, was annoying, however had it not been for him getting caught up in a situation due to his toxicity, Nicolette wouldn’t have found her true prince. I loved this story.

Pretty Good

I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. I wish it was a bit longer but it was a good read.

[Donna C.K · Rating 2 out of 5]

Okay. *sigh* This one, which I also picked up in BRAE, didn't work for me.

This was undercooked and reminds me of one of a classic fairytales girls grew up on where prince charming swoops in and saves the day.

Imagine meeting a man online, and after a few months of only talking to him, you agree to spend Christmas with him at his place. You don't know anything about this man except his name is Prince, he works from home, he sent you some cash and you want to explore where it goes.

That's Nicolette's rationale for hopping on a plane to go visit her new boo.

Something about this short story bothered me from beginning to end. I still haven't figured it out yet. I know there are women like Nicolette who are willing to give things a try, but sis, there's no way I was staying at his place when I saw where he lived. The driver dropped me off.

Elias, the billionaire saviour, was smitten by her the first time he saw her as he drove her to Prince's place !! It had to be vibes and her looks alone because they did not speak much.

Fast forward to the danger she found herself in, which Elias rescued her from when he came to return her phone, which she'd inadvertently left in his vehicle. He helped her out by providing a place to stay, took her to the ball, they got together and possibly lived happily ever after.

The end.

Holiday love...

Nicollett had met a guy and decided to spend the holidays with him. Traveling to be with the guy, she didn't expect for him to be injured and she had nowhere to go. When the driver who picked her up from the airport offered her a place to stay, she took him up on the offer. Spending time With Elias, feelings developed and Nicollett finally found what she was looking for. This was such a good Christmas read and I enjoyed seeing the characters fall in love!!

Short Christmas Romance

But sweet

I will say sometimes you have to take a chance
Prince was not the man for Nicolette at all But in the end All because of him she met Elias who's
Actually Rich Single Bachelor.


Aunt T just wanted him to find his happiness and she did Knight!!!!

I believe sometimes it can happen for some people.. I met my husband on Facebook so I can understand we been together now 9 yrs soon to be 10yrs married 8 yrs going on 9 years so it can happen ...But in this case not so much but in the end might've not found with whom you came to see but found with someone else who actually is meant for you!!!!!!

[Cherie Amour · Rating 5 out of 5]

Must Read!! 😍😍

I enjoyed this beautiful Christmas Novella by Author Lesanda Moore!! You have Nicolette who is
traveling for Christmas to meet her boyfriend whom she met online for the first time. A bad situation ends up putting her in not only the arms of a stranger but her knight and shining armor (Elias)! Could it be love at first sight? Oh you will have to read and see what it's like to spend Christmas with a rich stranger!! 😍
