A Winter Crest Christmas Reloaded: Kyleigh & Menance
In the bustling town of Winter Crest, Atlas and his girlfriend Kyleigh, a talented nail technician and Christmas baby, navigate the complexities of love, loyalty, and self-worth. After discovering that Atlas has been absent for days, tensions rise when she confronts him at Lavish Beauty Bar, a high-end salon where she also works. Despite her heartache, she refuses to let his charm and guilt money sway her; she knows that respect cannot be bought.
Amidst the chaos, Kyleigh meets Menance, a charismatic and confident man who captures her attention during a chance encounter at the mall. With a magnetic presence and a genuine interest in her life, Menance represents everything she’s been missing in her relationship with Atlas. As they spend time together, he shows her what it means to be valued and appreciated, igniting a spark of hope within her.
Through shopping sprees and heartfelt conversations, she begins to reclaim her joy and independence, realizing that true love is built on mutual respect and genuine connection. As she confronts her feelings for Atlas and navigates the budding relationship with Menance, Kyleigh must decide whether to forgive and move forward or to embrace her newfound freedom and let go of what no longer serves her.

GOOD READ
This was a good storyline. It definitely hurts when someone you consider a friend commits the ultimate betrayal against you. Although Kyleigh couldn't believe what happened, I loved that she moved on and focused on herself. Meeting Menance was right on time. He showed her the type of man she needed in her life. Their journey turned out perfect just in time for Christmas with a brighter future for the New Year.

Kyleigh 💚 Menance
Very entertaining from the first scene to the last! I enjoyed seeing Kyleigh level up on Atlas. I mean the nerve of him to fumble something so valuable. Menance was a welcome change💚

Great Read
When Nora asked Kyleigh " If he's cheating, who do you think it is with." I already knew the answer. Hell Kyleigh sister Ginger even knew something was off. Kyleigh was more hurt by who Atlas cheated on her with than him actually cheating. Mentally she had already left the relationship. Atlas trifling ass should've known Kyleigh was done with him when she put him out without trying to knock his between the cabinets and refrigerator. Menace came to Kyleigh on his grown man s**t. He wasn't playing games and let her know from the beginning. Atlas crashed out when he found out Kyleigh and Menace were dating. He couldn't handle the same hurt he caused Kyleigh. Spray painting her car was a b***h move. Dru was what I call a "Accountability Friend." He called Atlas out on his bs and told Atlas he was dumb for cheating on Kyleigh. Atlas had to take that loss because Menace showed Kyleigh how to be respected and loved properly by a man.

“A Winter Crest Christmas Reloaded: Kyleigh & Menance” what a great story & read, with the exception of the creepy jealous stalker🥴 Atlas. Nevertheless, another unconventional Winter Crest couple, which actually complement each other personally, family & career aspirations & accomplishments. …and covertly Menance is already siblings plus brother & daddy approved 🤩🤭👍🏾‼️Thereafter, considering all these two experienced individually, in loss & or disappointments of the past; their present in contrast, is/was pleasantly progressive & productive. …& their future appears even more promising, united “hand & hand and heart to heart” 🥰🎄‼️

nice very nice
This Christmas standalone is lit. My girl Ky was catching a little hell from her ex. He cheated on her for two years with one of her best friends and thinking she suppose to take that and for give him for what have come to the light. Menace is a beast and wanted what he wanted and wouldn’t let go. I’m glad them two had their happy ending but I do want an update with them. U did good on yet another book and I’m looking forward to reading more. Sitting here patting my feet while sipping on Pepsi and while eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

A good read, it was very predictable in the sense of who was apart of the affair. I’m not sure why we had multiple chapters from Atlas POV when it was no longer his show. I felt we could’ve got more time with the happy couple instead and a few more thoughts from menace. I will say the first 🌶️ scene made me cringe lol like there was no prep no kissing no foreplay and he was playing I declare war in her back alley but ain’t even lick said thumb ??? Yeah 3 stars lol

New Love At Christmas 🎄
So far this one is my favorite ❤️ I loved how Kyleigh moved on from that relationship and friendship. Atlas and Nora were both trash and Atlas was just overall stupid and kept making a fool of himself. I loved Menance he was a man who knew what he wanted and went after it. I would love and update on these two in the future I hope they get their HEA and 5 additional children 🫶🏾

🔥🔥🔥🔥
Author Shinel once again did her thing. Hurt from betrayal but Kyleigh didn't let that stop her in fact she leveled up from worker to Big Boss. Nora was indeed as low as a snake what she did was so hurtful to say she was her best friend all the while through out the 4 years 2 of those years she secretly cause more hurt but she and Atlas got exactly what they deserved. Maybe next Xmas these characters will be celebrating a wedding or a baby (s).

Moving on
Kyleigh was devastated when she found out her boyfriend Atlas was cheating with her best friend. Both were trying to make things right with her but it was no coming back from their deceit. Running into Menace was the best thing that happened although she was afraid of moving on so soon after having her heart broke. He was everything she ever wanted in a relationship and soon made her forget about the hurtful things that Atlas had done.

Yyyyyeeeeessssss🤎🤎🤎
I love when the man of the hour knows exactly what he wants when he is in the presence of his blessing! Menace knew and didn’t just apply some pressure, but his walk matched his talk when it came to Kyleigh! Atlas had the audacity, and then Nora was just as crazy! People kill me with hurting others and then expect you to forgive them how they want you to!

Atlas and Nora were trifling for the things that they did behind Kyleigh's back. Meeting Menace was like a breath of fresh air for Kyleigh. He came into her life and showed her real love in a short period of time. Their love and chemistry was undeniable. They both found happiness. Amazing read.

One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure!!
Atlas didn't deserve Kyleigh. He took her for granted and lost his good thing. Nora lost her best friend for no good reason smh Menance was a breath of fresh air. He knew what he wanted and went after it no matter what. I loved how he spoke his mind & didn't bite his tongue unless it was Bella 😆

Good read. Atlas thought he gonna win Kyleigh back to with shenanigans that him and Nora did backfired on him. Nora was a horrible friend and 2 yrs messing with your friends man was nasty work. Good riddance...

Kyleigh
Kyleigh had her heart broken around the holidays. She swore never to let anyone near her heart again. Sometimes what you think you lost was best off in the past! Menance was so different than what she was used to in men! A great read!

One Man's Trash
Karma was heavy in this book. I really enjoyed it from the beginning to the last page. I want a follow up on these characters. I feel like Atlas is coming back with more drama.

Beautiful story. I am so happy for Kyleigh. She finally found her person. Atlas was trifling for messing with her best friend for 2 years behind her back. She was right to cut them out of her life. Kyleigh is in good hands with Menance! Great Read!

Atlas
Atlas was down right dumb. How you sleep with your girls best friend and expect her to be okay and just take you back. Nora was just as dumb she ruined her friendship with her best friend since 7th grade. Menace didn’t play not one game when it came to Kyleigh.

Kyleigh & Menance
Atlas and Nora was dumb for thinking 🤔 that Kyleigh would forgive them. I'm hoping these two get another book. I like Menance for her

I enjoyed this story.
Menace and Khleigh met by a happen chance. Khleigh's ex was something else, especially when he was in the wrong. Not even going to talk about Nora.

This was the best read in the series thus far. Such a relatable story. We actually need more. Atlas was a true dog and needed to grow up.
