Stella & Nine was a cute lil read. Nine stayed callin’ Sosa “that fat azz cat.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Them damn cookies hit the 🎯 again! Nine was locked in from the moment he encountered Stella, providing her with protection, care, and kindness. She was soaking it all up too, as she had never experienced treatment from a man like this. 😍 Where did he come from? Never mind… Mean where? Not when it comes to Stella. He didn’t know what it was about this woman, but she captured his heart, and he didn’t want it back. Adorable read.

Miss Mattie been on point with the recipes. I’m so happy for Stella and Nine. Nine was exactly what she needed and they just fix so perfect. Stella finally got her happily ever after and a little bit more.

Cute!
Grumpy Nine definitely fell hard and fast for Stella and it was sweet. He saw her get into a car accident and helped her to the hospital and decided to never leave after that. This quick and cute! Instalove done right.

Cute, short Valentine’s Day read . Grumpy/sunshine trope. Straight to the point. I have been going through Kennedy B’s catalog so I was excited to read about Nine. I enjoyed.

This was the sweetest and most realistic quick love story ever. These recipes are coming in hot and strong and I love that for everyone that has made the connection so far. The was Nine literally comes in and saves the day for Stella!!! Like I mean dude was just helping and never let up and applied all the pressure in all the right places. I loved how they connected and how he didn’t allow time to say what was what. Baby a man that will save you fix you problem with his hands and blow your back out was giving you a safe space all within 48 hours and not on no wired shit!!! Sign all women up. I don’t know a women who is single wouldn’t love this type of time. Loved this for them and the epologue confirmed what I already knew was coming!!!! I need to go to Crescent Falls and go to Sweet treat so I can get in this jar and pull my recipe out.

This was cute
This was a cute short story and it is complete. Outside of feeling like I’ve either read a book with the side characters or there should be a book about the side characters there were no questions left about this story. It was a finished book in 72 pages and left me smiling at the end.
(Side note: it would be pretty cool if the other characters mentioned in the book did come from other stories, a link to their story was attached to their mention so curious readers could read those stories too) I’ve read several books that weren’t on my radar just from links to those books were listed in a story. Just a thought.

Recipe for Love: Stella & Nine
These two jump on the express train to love. To know that Stella had that hidden strength inside but let the world beat her down to almost giving up is beautiful! The way in which she met Nine, I knew they were meant to be. I’m so glad that there was minimal drama. Marcus deserved me but he got the point of what Nine told him. I love when a person can experience open love the way these two did! I want a sugar cookie now! lol

Okayyy this one was so cute!!!! My fav in this series thus far and I loved Nine! He was so about Stella. They weren’t ready or looking for each other but as soon as they met they KNEW. Baby Nine didn’t play and I loved that for Stella. Such a cutie novella. I recommend if you’re looking for a short insta love story.

Stella & Nine (Recipe For Love Book 3)
Aww, this book was so good. It made my heart happy. I love Nine. He is no nonsense and straight to the point. Stella definitely upgraded and got her groove back.
They were total opposites, so the vibe and chemistry was off the charts. Ms. Mattie and her recipes......baby, I need one.
My favorite couple so far. Great job Kennedy B.

Stella was moving like a Valentine’s Day Grinch. She had an attitude and hated the holiday. That changed when she made a recipe for cookies that she got from a local bakery. She was told she would find love if she created the recipe. She didn’t expect it to run into her. This was quick novella that I read in an hour. Nine was mentioned in Another Constant, another book that I really enjoyed.

Unfortunate but fortunate
The way I loved on Nine. He was a no BS fella that stood on all the business.
Stella was my girl who found her worth after many toads. Even had a prince that knocked out the latest one. Yep, I laughed so hard at that scene and many more.
Another winner from Kennedy B.

Okay Stella and Nine!
This was really good. I loved the transparency through it all. How they gravitated to each other and how well they synced together like they'd known each other forever. I truly enjoyed this!

Stella and Nine were so cute together. They were full steam ahead all gas no breaks from day one. I like how Nine was truly invested in Stella and showed her that he was with his words and actions.

Nine and Stella’s story was a slight departure from the first two but I loved that about it. I love me some Nine his whole aura and how he talked was doing it for me. I also liked his history with the recipes. Loving this series so far!

I absolutely adored this one. Miss Mattie and her recipes are out here winning. Mine wasn’t looking for love and especially not with a librarian like Stella.
But baby Stella got her groove back!!!!

I love Nine and I Love Stella. This was one of the most sweetest books I have read in a long time. The chemistry between the two of them are everything. Nine was so gentle with her, and after Marcus I love that for her.

BOOK 3
I am enjoying reading entire Love recipe series, and this book was another great quick read. I love my MMC to be a hard as nails guy with everyone except his FMC, and he can't even help it. She just does that to him, and it's so freaking adorable.
