My father's gambling got out of control. I had no idea he had gotten a loan from the devils — Kyro and Krue Francis. One evening, they paid my father an unexpected visit, wanting their money. Somehow, I ended up in the middle of my father's mess and arranged to be at Krue's home by midnight. If not, it would cost my father's life...
-Jerrica Carella
When Kyro and I paid David Carella a visit about our bread, I was expecting to get the money or leave out dragging a body in a body bag. I wasn't expecting to lay eyes on a photo of a beauty. Now, it was either bring her to me or David Carella would die.
I’m not sure how healthy / unhealthy it is to continue to love these unhinged MMCs yet here we are. The moments that probably should have made me cringe actually made me swoon as Krue “claimed” Jerrica & simply laid down the law! What started out as a business arrangement, appears to be turning into a match made it heaven! Can’t wait for book 2
Chile, with the way this ended, I only have one question...where is the rest? I was all in reading this. I hope Jerrica chooses Krue and doesn't let her father talk her into walking away from her good thing. They may have started in an unorthodox way, but there's love there.
So what if your beloved daddy was secretly a degenerate gambler and the criminal that came to collect the $ he owes will only accept you as payment or daddy dies. My toxic trait is I enjoy a kidnap romance, so I was right in that condo with Jerrica and Krue. Now Miss K. Nicole plays too much with that damn cliffhanger but I had to see it through and moved right on to Yours next.
K. Nicole be having me in love with unhinged men with a soft spot and Krue is no different. I loved how we jumped in the story and things started. Baby that’s my type of read. Krue and Kyro didn’t waste no time. Krue saw what he wanted, Jerrica, and that was all he wrote. That man got the dominance and grit to him that’ll make you weak in the knees.
Honey he met his match with Jerrica. She had a mouth on her just like he did. She was matching that energy. Her dad being a bum was probably the best thing he did for her. It was cute getting a different side of Krue during the story. My boy had it bad for Jerrica and i love that. It was anything for her ♥️.
I also very much enjoyed the siblings and can’t wait for their stories.
Get ready for a thrilling ride with "Yours For The Holiday" by K. Nicole! Krue and Kyro Francis are infamous in their city for their devil-may-care attitude when it comes to money. They have zero tolerance for late payments, and when one of their clients falls behind, they’re ready to collect—no matter the cost. But then Krue lays eyes on a stunning picture of Jerrica Carella, David’s daughter, and suddenly everything changes. He demands that David bring Jerrica to him by midnight, or it’s game over for David!
Meanwhile, Jerrica Carella is thriving in her world, running a successful crafting business and living life on her own terms. The last thing she expected was to be thrust into her father’s mess of gambling debts. Being taken hostage by one of the notorious Francis brothers? Absolutely not—except when her father’s life hangs in the balance, she’s left with no choice but to play along.
I absolutely adored every moment of this story! From the amusing sibling antics to Krue’s bold personality and Jerrica’s sassy comebacks, it kept me glued to the pages! I can hardly wait for part two, especially with David’s audacity starting to stir things up. Jerrica better stand her ground and not let her father jeopardize her happiness!
I’m so intrigued to see what’s brewing between Kyro and Baby. And what about Mosiah and Baby? They definitely have some explaining to do! Bring on part two—I'm ready for more heart-pounding excitement!
Book: Yours For The Holiday Author: K. Nicole Genre: Romance Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice Level: 🥵🥵🥵
Well, well, well, here I go dangling from a limb again from a well written story. It is so much to unwrap in this novel. It is a huge Christmas gift with many layers. In addition, it's more going on in the dark than has been said. I am 100% sure Karsyn is in a relationship with a man that Krue and Kyro don't approve of. Although Kyro seems to be the most unhinged sibling of the three, love may just knock on his heart soon. Kyro needs a lady to break through that rugged interior. I know that Carella wants his daughter to come home, but she is still a grown woman. She runs a small business like a well-oiled machine, and I can understand her coming to visit, but if she wanted to move in with Krue, why not. Krue has fallen hard for Jerrica, and it isn't ashamed to demonstrate it. If he has to regulate a problem, then so be it.
Ms. Nicole, you know how to ring me in with these masterpieces you are writing. I am anticipating the next installment in this series. I hope that Krue and Jerrica's relationship flourish.
3⭐️: Krue has a side to him that's complex, BUT he is yummy at the same time. Yes, the book has spicy bits, but I just thought it lacked a bit more story. Interested in exploring Kyro and Karsyn more, so diving in to explore more with book 2 in this series.
Listen…K. Nicole did what she needed to do with this one. I opened this book thinking I’d just read a few chapters, and suddenly I’m locked in like I personally owe the Francis brothers money. Krue did not waste a single second. He saw Jerrica, claimed her mentally on sight, and moved like a man who does not believe in delays. And honestly, I respect that level of focus.
Jerrica was absolutely the right woman to throw at a man like Krue. She has a mouth on her, she is not easily intimidated, and she loves herself enough to not shrink just because a man walks in with danger, power, and a little unhinged energy. The back and forth between them had me grinning, rolling my eyes, and kicking my feet like I wasn’t fully grown.
Jerrica’s father? Trash behavior aside, he unknowingly pushed his daughter into the arms of someone who actually values her, so congratulations to him for the first useful thing he has ever done. Watching Krue soften specifically for Jerrica while still being every bit the menace to everyone else was top tier content.
This story gave chaos, tension, chemistry, and the kind of obsession that makes you nervous but also whisper “yeah…that’s me.” The siblings added the perfect extra seasoning too. Jumping into book two immediately because the way this ended, I cannot be left hanging like that. Bring on more Francis family madness. I am seated.
THIS BOOK STARTED OFF CRAZY. THAT DANG CARELLA , SMDH! HE JUST GIVES SHADY ASF FROM START TO FINISH 🙄🤬. THERE WERE SOME EDITING ERRORS, HENCE THE RATING 4 1/2 ⭐️
KARYSN IS GIVING SHE’S HIDING SOMETHING AND, OR SOMEONE (COUGH MOSIAH)🤔👀

I HAD NO EMPATHY FOR THE HELP SHE WENT THROUGH ONCE SHE TOOK HER OVERGROWN AZZ BACK THEIR🤷🏽♀️. HER SISTERS ADVICE HELPED HER GET HER MIND RIGHT AND HER MAN BACK AND BLESSED HIM WITH A GIFT HE NEVER SAW COMING🥰.
I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THEIR LOVE BLOSSOM AND HOPEFULLY KYRO CRAZY AZZ WILL FIND SOMEONE TO CALM HIM DOWN😔
I am so angry at myself for not reading the reviews and then this books ending on a cliffhanger. I hate having to wait for the next books. David Carella has a gambling addiction and he ends up owing Kyro and Krue thirty thousand dollars. The brothers goes to his house to collect and Krue sees a picture of Jerrica falling in love at first sight so he requested her and twenty thousand dollars. Jerrica was taken to him but wasn’t held in captivity. It’s funny how Jerrica’s crazy conversations with Jerra and Tati was heard by Krue and he would do the things that they talked about. They both ended up falling for each other and now David has paid the money and demanding that Jerrica returns home. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Krue, and Kyro were just too much, enjoyed these characters especially when they said something you already know they meant it. It was funny how they came to collect a debt and once Kris seen Jerrica photo there was just something that click for him making him break the family rules. Spending time with each other they grew a bond deeper than he had with his ex girlfriend. What surprised me was how long it was taking her father to pay the debt and when he did where did the money come from because if he had it all along why not pay it instead of handing Jerrica over something is not right. Then you have their sister whom I think is messing around with Messiah that is going to be interesting as well as Jerrica being pregnant can't wait for book 2.
Krue and Kyro Francis want their money. One way or the other Carella has to pay his gambling debt. He just didn’t know that part of that payback would be with his beautiful daughter Jerrica.
Is love at first sight a thing? Because Krue sees Jerrica and it’s the hell with the money. Immediately he is her protector, provider and her tender teddy bear. I am here for it! This man had Jerrica sliding down the wall trying to hold herself back from jumping on him. That wall crumbled QUICK!
Looking for a read that from the opening credits (insert giggles) have you clutching your invisible pearls, and licking your lips . Gasp…. Enters thee one, thee only Krue. So in others words if you love BDE, a little unhinged, a mouth that talks you through it, and being spoiled like no other. Krue and Jerrica are in quite the situation-ship. READ THIS BOOK! As always K.Nicole does it again 5⭐️ read.
I almost didn’t read this book because it came out well after the holidays and it isn’t a standalone. But I’m glad I did. I don’t even know what to make of Krue. He’s crazy but kind. A little unhinged when it comes to his heart. Jerrica being torn between what she wants and what is right didn’t help his behavior at all. All I know is I didn’t stop reading until I read to be continued…..I’m definitely reading the nest installment.
Jerrica was given to Krue because her dad borrowed money from his family business. When Krue and his brother Kyra went to the Carella household to collect, Krue saw a picture of Jerrica and wanted her. Her parents dropped her off to pay their debt. Of course they end up falling for each other. I loved how Jerrica basically forced the Christmas spirit onto Krue. The cliffhanger ending has me wanting to read the new book. Will she go back home or stay with Krue?
It’s giving Stockholm syndrome! Just not as bad! Krue was lowkey a sweetheart and i love him! Jerrica was a go getter and an “i can get it on my own” type chick. Her daddy was trash and that’s how she got in her situation. Kyro was honestly funny af!! Karsyn was adorable and i needs to see more with her and chef boy r dee! Jerricas sister and cousin were top tier! Support for daysss!! Now that ending, DONT PISS ME OFF JERRICA!!! Ready for part 2! Here we go!
This book was written to perfection!! It started off as an agreement behind a debt and turned into the ultimate deal….falling in love. Krue and Jerrica came from different worlds and were complete opposites or so they thought. Over time they began to see each other in different lights and when the agreement was over didn’t know if they would be able to let go. I’m headed to book 2 I know this is good!
Gambling is an addiction that destroys families trust is broken and respect is lost. A woman who chooses the safety of her husband over her child although an adult knows no boundaries.
Baby I would have informed the Francis brothers I am going to walk around the block leave his body for my daughters and I to receive the insurance money.
This man was the equivalent to book boyfriend and omg do I need him in my life. Definitely didn’t expect the turns of event come in to do what it did but when love wants to make an appearance it don’t care what it has to do and that’s just what happened with Jerrica and Krue. Can’t wait for the second book.
3.5/5! -I LOVEEEE A K.NICOLE holiday novella! She always feeds my soul with her crazy mmcs. -I always look at them mmcs like you know what girl I love this for you! -Mr.Krue Francis had me melting (just a little bit) in a crazy want it for my homegirl not me! -entertaining and gets you in the holiday feel lol
This book understood the assignment and delivered Krue book bae forreal and their story got me all in my feeling like let them be happy. And reading his story just makes me want Kyro story so much more cause I love when that when that type of man heart get tame he book bae and I was only to get little pieces of him but you know he going to be everything.
Ms.Nicole girl are you crazy??? This one of the best books I’ve read since my reading challenge. Ugh I love Krue and Jerrica. The to be continued had me in tears honey. I cannot wait til the next book. I wanna read about Kyro finding a woman and Baby getting a man. Chile I love the writing and everything.
How he put his daughter in that situation? Carella really got on my nerves. He the one with the gambling habit. His child had to stay wit Krue because of money he owed but only thing is his daughter fell in love. That’s some crazy ish.
After a rough January thus holiday read brought some Christmas 🎄 cheer. Krue falling in love so quickly was fun to watch. I can’t wait to see his brothers mean but fall in love and I just know baby is messing with Mosiah.
Love at first sight, he falls first, kidnapping to .... we gon see since it ends on a cliffhanger. Need to know if Krue + Jerrica get their HEA. Inquiring minds want to know what's going on with Baby and some more on Kyro. Those Francis siblings are something else. Come on part two!
My only complaint is I have to wait for the next book. Getting to that to be continued message hurt my feelings 😭 I loved this. Krue was everything!! I need to know what’s going on with Baby and Mosiah too since she’s being funny lol.
I love Krue he really is the one! Jerrica better not play him or I'm going to be so mad! I bet Karysn is with Mo. I want to see Kyro with the cousin she made him smile ☺.
I loved the characters and how K saw Jerrica picture and knew she was for him. I couldn’t wait for Jerrica to realize that K was for her. The chemistry was on point. I’m also gone off Christmas so this was perfect for the holiday.
🌟🌟🌟🌟.25🎧 Imagine your dad owing the “demon” money and the demon ask for half his money and you. Now instead of spending Christmas with your family you spend Christmas with your kidnapper or is he?😂 I enjoyed this book but why did it have to end like that??? Let me go read the second book.
