About the author

Hi! My name is Kelsie Hoss. I'm an author of relatable, heartfelt spicy adult romance. Being an avid romance reader myself, I always wanted to read books about women like me with curves and stretch marks and flaws that make us beautiful and unique.
Even better than that - I wanted a woman like me to get a true hero. Someone worth bringing home to mama!
Since I couldn't find those books... I wrote them.
It was so fun that I now have multiple stories available with more coming all the time!
When not writing, you'll likely find me hanging out with my three boys, obsessing over sourdough recipes, or channeling my inner goddess in the garden.

This short book was adorable! And watch your mouth - the hot chocolate is HOT, if you catch my 🌶️🌶️🌶️ drift!

If you've read Kelsie Hoss, you're familiar with her characters. This is a reunion book, of sorts. Each section a few chapters telling a story, years in the future from their original book.

A collection of short Christmas stories, it's the holiday party that I'd love to be invited to. Told by characters in her Hello series, from ten books, all titled 'Hello'... something. 😉

Her books all showcase an FMC (female main character) who is curvy, plus size, strong, intelligent, and beautiful. They each tell their own individual story, but always catch a hottie-patottie. A single dad, a motorcycle guy, a doctor - just any guy who connects with and is hot for his woman! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Author Kelsie Hoss signs off at the end of this book with a love letter to her readers. She concludes by saying while this may be the end of the Hello series, not to worry! There's a new series already in the works! Whew!

Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎁

I read this immersively - reading the physical book while listening to the audiobook. Narrators Allison Vuller and Luke Wellond truly bring this festive season to life!

A lovely Christmas themed fan service book filled with short stories about each of the couples in the Hello series. I haven’t gotten around to reading them all yet but I didn’t need to have read them to read the short stories about them.

Not her strongest writing and the timelines seemed confusing since in Knox and Larkin’s Christmas story they’re engaged, but at Ford and Mia’s Christmas party they’re married?

It was fun to catch up with the characters and have a little Christmas magic with them all, but just not my favorite of Kelsie’s writing.

[Eryn Kvernevig · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was to be a Christmas story of all the couples of the Hello book series. Overall it fell flat & made no sense. In one story couple X was just dating but magically couple X was married in the next story. Felt like she had a xmas scene within the book series then it was cut by the editor so they compiled it into this book. Great way to pass the time waiting for your kid’s school pick up or sports practice. But overall a flop. Read the other books, but feel free to skip this. Richard Paul Evans does Xmas better.

Yall I was dying in the one chapter that said how he takes a shower after work and how much she appreciates it as she microwaves the green beans. It was like we appreciate the things that he does to show he cares. 💀

It was a SHOWER after work. How low is the bar that basic hygiene is a plus?! lol

That being said, I’ve read all the hello series- this was kind of a take or leave it for me. I still love Kelsie and the series, they are the cutest comfy romances when I need a palate cleanser. And I can’t wait to get my windmill blanket delivered 🩵

[TenshiMari · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really hoped this would be a warm wholesome book full with fuzzy, warm, wholesome feels. I mean, this is partially true? But really, it's just a straight-up smutfest. I did not enjoy it. The smut was repetitive and boring and I really wanted more of their cute families together and less fucking. What a disappointment. I guess I should've expected it because I rarely enjoy novellas as a format, but this one was just boring.

[Annie Soto · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved everything about this.

This collection of epilouges for all our favorites couples of this beautiful series was such a wonderful Christmas gift! I loved being able to revisit each couple and see their joy as they live out their happily ever afters!

If you haven't read this series you definitely have to before you think about picking this one up. So add it to your TBR so you can read this feel-good, spicy series in 2025! You won't regret it!

Review: I really enjoyed this book! Loved getting an update on all the couples. I really enjoyed this series when I read it November and loved going back to that world. This was a cute Christmas novella.

Favorite Quote: “I know I’m lucky to call you my daughter, but I think any kids you have would be luckier to call you Mom.”

[Lisa Nizz · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very cute fast Christmas read for a glimpse at our Hello series couples at Christmas. Not all storylines are in the present, some are glimpses of the past we didn’t see.

I loved it. Kelsie had us picking up with our favorite characters like no time had passed. I great one to reread every holiday season.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

It feels like an end to an era, but in the best possible way leaving space for a new beginning.

Hello billionaire was the first book I read since high school and I have not stopped since. Not only did I find a joy in reading but the curvy fmc healed a little part of my soul. what do you mean women who look like and while being the main character??!!!!...like what!!!!

[Heidi N · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hello Christmas was a great way to catch up with all the couples from the Hello Series. You get to see a glimpse into how their holidays were spent. Some from years past, some from right in the current time!

A cute novella to bring you into the holiday season with the families we came to love!

[CrazyGal609 · Rating 5 out of 5]

That’s how you do a follow-up, wrap-up of a 10 book series!!!
I’m so happy that it was kept in the positive, was at Christmas time for all, and was short n’sweet! Oh, and some naughty fun bits of course 💋💋💋
📚Overall, I loved series, the characters, and was in perfect order too!
Cute cover art🎨
🎄Merry Christmas & HEAs to all!💋

Such a sweet way to “catch up”

I adored this book. The short stories of each couple from the Hello series, seeing where they all were during the Christmas season is so heartwarming. The stories were so cute and definitely didn’t disappoint in the spice area. I never want this series to end.

[Rina ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a perfect novella collection. I really enjoyed getting to catch up with each couple in the series during the holidays. Each story is short and sweet. Plus some of them even bring on the heat. If you're a fan of the Hello series this is definitely for you. I highly recommend it!

[Meagan Thacker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved getting a glimpse of each couple farther into their relationships. So fun to see what has happened since the end of their books. Wish it was longer, I could seriously read a second book about Rhett and Maggie they’ve been my favorite couple since Hello Heartbreaker!

[Mallory Holy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love these characters and I really liked being able to get an update on them following their individual stories. Because each was only a few (4 or so) chapters long I wanted more but the stories are good and the characters are relateable.

[Tiffany Hill · Rating 5 out of 5]

**Christmas Update!**

I absolutely loved the sweet and steamy collection of eight short stories featuring all our favorite couples! It’s such a heartwarming journey to see where they are now after all these wonderful years together. Happy reading!

[Sabelle C · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Christie Hardin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved catching up with all my favorites from the Hello series (my favorites are every one of course).

Excited for the new series. I’ll be backtracking to the Hello series from time to time to get my fix.

[Elizabeth McNamara · Rating 2 out of 5]

I hate that she didn't do a full novella for each couple. as soon as I started to get into the story for the couple the few chapters were over.
Nothing written was bad at all but it just wasn't enough for me.

[Terri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hello Christmas...

I love this! These short stories were the perfect way to connect back with my favorite characters and get into the holiday spirit.

[Brittany Profit-Rheinwald · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfection! Nothing like getting a glimpse of all of your favorite characters and where they are “now.” Thank you, Kelsie!

[Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was fun catching up with the couples from the other books.

[Brittany Bruce · Rating 5 out of 5]

Don’t read this if you haven’t read the rest of the series otherwise you’re gonna spoil the complete ending of every book before this one
