Cupid's Chokehold: A Valentines Menage Novella

by Dee Garcia

Lala and Suki are celebrating their third Valentine’s Day together.
Not that they need to spice things up—they’re compatible in every way—but Lala wants to kick things up a notch for the day dedicated to love. A couple of enhancement chocolates, an app controlled device, and some drinks at this cozy little dive bar… Sounds like the perfect night, right?

Eros Lovett hates Valentine’s Day.
The only reason this grump opens his doors for the ridiculous Hallmark holiday is to offer a place of refuge for all his fellow anti-Valentiners. So when the girls waltz into his bar, giggling and brazenly affectionate, he whips up Cupid’s Chokehold on a dime, hoping the molotov cocktail will have them out the doors sooner rather than later. Just because the rest of the world falls captive to this scam of a holiday doesn’t mean he needs to be subject to it, too.

Turns out, the only thing going out the doors are the patrons because when the girls suddenly proposition Eros with a festive ménage à trois, he can’t find it in himself to decline.

This Cupid’s arrow might not be laced with love, but lust is in the air, and three isn’t always a crowd.

PLEASE If you’re going into this novella expecting a plot-tastic, full length Hallmark masterpiece, Cupid's Chokehold is not for you. This is a quick, smuttylicious read that should take you less than an hour and get you into the Valentine's Day spirit. All books in the Festive Asf Series are complete standalones and do not need to be read in any specific order.

Cupid’s Chokehold is a sizzlin’ little novella that tosses complicated plots out the window for a whirlwind of fun!

Enter Eros, the fearless owner of The Heckling Goose, who’s keeping the doors wide open on Valentine’s Day for all those anti-love rebels dodging the lovey-dovey crowd outside.

As the countdown to closing time begins, in strut Lala and Suki, armed with their flirty antics and ready to serve Eros a spicy slice of his own sass!

Brace yourself for some steamy shenanigans—you’ll want an icy drink and a fan at the ready! And remember your safe word: flamingo!

I’m not typically a Valentine’s Day girly, but after this, I might reconsider—under one condition: the celebration must take place in a bar, culminating in a nightcap exactly like this! Picture it: two gorgeous women and a large heavily tatted man with all the piercings? Yes, please!

This was a wild and very fun novella filled with mood enhancers, playful accessories, and a whole lot of FFM action. Suki and Lala, while celebrating Valentine’s together, encounter their grumpy bartender, leading to a VERY spicy night. I found myself giggling and kicking my feet from all the fun. Go read this and enjoy your day of love early! 🫶🏻💕

Phew is it hot in here or what?!!! Holy moly Dee has done it again! I love these sweet cute sexy and spicy novellas she comes up with I loved the banter and the sass from are two females and the male let’s just say he’s a very lucky man! This isn’t my typical or even favorite trope but with Dee Garcia behind the pen to paper I wound up loving it!

Pure smut!

Suki & Lala, our 2 FMC’s are enjoying a sexy Valentine’s Day together when they saunter into The Heckling Goode. Local bar owned by the anti-Valentine himself, Eros. Girls just wanna have fun right? And that’s EXACTLY what they’re doing.. while seated at the bar with Eros serving them drinks. With the help of a certain app & a non-visible “you”, they convince Eros to partake in their sexy Valentine’s festivities.. at his place. This Valentine’s Day Eros is in for the night of his life!

Dee Garcia definitely did not disappoint with this smut filled novella. After reading Bad Santa’s and loving it, I KNEW had to read Cupid’s Chokehold. Now let me just say.. if you’re looking for plot, about face and go pick up something else because this spicy number is spice on smut on spice.. it is basically all plot and you know what?? I was HERE FOR IT! Had a great time and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading this for Valentine’s Day!!

This naughty short novella follows two beautiful women on a Valentine's date that takes a wild turn after a random meeting with a gorgeous, tattooed, and pierced bar owner. What starts as a romantic evening for two quickly spirals into a+1 night filled with smutty sex, all the carnal fantasies you didn’t know you had, and hilarious debauchery. A sizzling, spicey romp that will leave you giggling and maybe rethinking your next date night plans👀🤣

FFM, not much plot…but also not as spicy as the first book in the series.

[Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's Valentine's and Suki and Lala are enjoying themselves (immensely) while Eros is grumping his way through the end of the night as he just waits for it to end. Then Suki and Lala invite him into their celebration and suddenly Eros isn't hating the holiday quite as much.

No lie, Suki and Lala are both a little uninhibited, they don't mind public displays of ANYTHING, and they both think the grumpy bartender is smokin' hot. So they invite him to join them in their holiday celebration and WHOO-BOY does he apply himself to their pleasure.

A sex-ay, sex-ay evening with three individuals who are all about doing what feels right. And good. And pleasurable. Let's just say they all end up happy and leave it at that. *thumbs up*

You looking for a quick bite of deliciousness? Check this read out!

[Sydnie Nova · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really spicy novella that was less plot focused and more spice heavy. That being said, it didn't lack for intrigue as we get to know our main characters a bit and understand their cheeky, flirtatious ways while out and in the mood for a fun a adventurous romp. Dee Garcia manages to make a great story in just a few thousand words thats focused on the adventurous side of a relationship and the teasing and anticipation leading up to the ultimate moments of release. This was well written and though not super plot heavy, made you invested in the characters and still relate to and love them and wish for their "happy endings".

No Plot, All Steam = Hot, Sexy, Smuttiness!!!

If you are looking for a quick smutty Valentines Day read, then this is the book for you! Quick pallet cleanser between books full of smutty goodness then grab this.

Suki and Lala go to a bar on Valentine's Day to have some fun. They invite their grumpy bartender to join them for a private encore after he tells them they can't do what they are doing in the bar. He's hesitant at first and then when he realizes they are serious all the smuttiness ensues!!! HOT, SEXY, Smuttiness!

“I knew you two were some kind of trouble from the moment you walked into my bar, but damn…”

HOLY CRAP!! That was so freaking HOT! A perfect little morsel of sizzling deliciousness that I definitely needed.

Eros, Suki and Lala set my body and my panties on FIRE!! They gave me such a fun, sexy and incredibly titillating story that I wanted to go on and on and on!

I absolutely loved it and will definitely be pulling this one out again when I need something delicious to help me get some relief and fall asleep!

Dee Garcia you have done it again!

Dee, you have created yet another masterpiece. After reading all 5 of the festive asf books today this one is just perfection.

Short, sweet, spicy and little bit different with the FFM.
I want more of their story, I thought Eros was intriguing and I want more of his piercings. Suki is definitely the one in control, but I am so here for it and I love the fact that Lala was such a good girl in all senses.

Please give us more books. Im hooked 👌🥵📚

Omg I love a good smutty novella… this was even better than I imagined! All sex and no plot… “perfect give me 14 of them!” The chemistry was top notch and even though we only got 42 pages I loved these characters! Dee really knows how to get you invested in characters. I loved these flirty personalities and breaking down a grumpy wall! Ugh Dee I can’t wait for the rest of these!

This was a real Valentine's Day feast, literally!!

Cupid's Chokehold is the perfect Valentine's Day novella, which should come as no surprise after the glory that was Bad Santa's. From the cutest little quick entry, our girls go from flirty little minxes to baddies who know what they want. Everyone has a good time, us readers included! It's fun, flirty, and thematic - loved it!

[Krystina Boozer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well. Hot. D@mñ!

Dee delivers again! In just ten chapters, she delivers on a strong relationship between the two FMCs and then tosses in Eros, the MMC, in the mix perfectly. The women are so strong that only a man stubborn like Eros could win them over. I’m in love with this mini series!!

(or any day. Or many days 😅)

Available on KU for you beauties!

Hot quick and lush!

Absolutely wanted more. It was a great read. Over too fast. Definitely love the way Dee writes. I can't wait to read more from her. All characters were written very well. Loved the fact it was pure smut no plot.
Didn't expect some of the twists to happen. Loved every minute. Highly recommend.

This was a quick, smexy, smutty and fun read and I found myself fascinated by Lala, Suki and Eros and definitely wouldn’t mind spending a lot more time with them!

If you’re wanting a book that gives you a love story complete with all the feels this is not it!! Chokehold is a whole lot of smut. Suki and Lala walk into Eros bar already having a good time and decide to include Eros making for the most steamy valentines night. It’s a short steamy read.

[Frommailenesbookshelf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you so much for this ARC!

This is just straight-up Valentine's Day filth in the BEST way possible 🤤 Eros didn't have any other choice BUT to look at Valentine's Day differently after meeting Lala and Suki 😏

If you're looking for a quick, spicy read with FFM, this is it!

[Maria (Ri) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick but satisfying

This holiday inspired read is proof that size doesn't matter. This is perfect for those who are short on time for reading. I'd advise reading this before bed. Decadent debauchery at its best. My only complaint would be that I wished it was longer.

[girlwithbigbooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

To who ever said threes a crowd.. looking for a quick dirty fun read look no further.. Dee packs the heat into this one.. sexy grumpy bartender who’s over the whole valentines thing and then we have two girls who just want to have fun!!

[readwithevelane · Rating 3 out of 5]

This had such potential to be a fun and spicy novella, but it fell flat. The spice was really good, but I wish there was just a bit more relationship wise. I thought the ending could've used a bit more.

[Kimmy · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.85 stars ⭐️ with the potential to be a 4 or 5 stars IF it was longer than 40 pages BUT the 40 pages we did get was sexy, spicy, playful and I so badly wanted to join in😩😏 It’s a quick one that hits the spot 😜

Hot and smutty anti Valentine's day read

This book is 100% a smutty quick shot. Suki, Lala and Eros seem were so fun. The toy surprises 🥵🥵🥵🥵

If you want a little story and quick read this is for you!
