I'm a Leprechaun in this one. The blarney was on fire in this tale. Connor can White all over this place. Yes, this story was magically delicious. Ms. Lee was smiling like a golden treat at the end of the rainbow. Yes, this was a delectable St. Patty's Day romance and I am green with envy...

Ms. Allen be doin' the damn thang with these holiday novellas! Who knew St. Patrick's Day could be like this. 😜 The fire was lit as soon as Samiyah and Conner laid eyes on each other, and that late night phone call! Whew.... 🔥🥵 Then the night of the party it was full on inferno!! Would love a full story on these two. Great short read. 👍🏿👍🏿

Sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spicy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sizzling!!!!!!!!!!!

Samiyah is super stressed! Her job is riding on whether she can come through, successfully, on a St Patrick event for a new client. When disaster strikes, Samiyah has to move the event to a new location that she has never seen or heard of.

Enter Conner - super stress reliever! Oh yes, I highly recommend you read this yummy novella for yourself.

If you’ve never read a Danielle Allen book! Baby what are you waiting on you are surely missing out! I so love her holiday hookups and can’t get enough of them. Now I just need to catch up on the rest of her catalog that I missed! Sensational as always!

I loved this read! It was just the right amount of hot and sexy while also taking care of her emotional needs. Another great job by this author!

Samiyah def got lucky! 🍀

I enjoyed this … if you’re looking for a quick, flirty St. Patrick’s Day read with a little spice, this one hits the spot.

Samiyah is already stressed trying to pull together an event when she unexpectedly meets Conner — the man who just so happens to have the perfect venue for what she needs. What starts as a business interaction quickly turns into something a little more… entertaining. Because while the pub is ready to keep the drinks filled to the brim, Conner seems just as determined to help Samiyah forget about her stress in other ways.

The chemistry between them is immediate, playful, and definitely on the spicy side for such a short read. Danielle Allen packs a lot into a small space — humor, tension, and a connection that feels natural despite how quickly everything unfolds.

And let’s just say… Conner made sure Samiyah’s lucky charms didn’t go unappreciated. 😮‍💨🍀

Overall, this was a cute, fast, and steamy little holiday hookup story — perfect if you want something fun and spicy you can finish in one sitting.

Lucky Girl

I’m always excited to get a new installment in the Hot Holiday Hookup collection. Each book is steamy and fun. This one captures that same vibe. Samiyah and Connor have great chemistry. He’s immediately interested in relieving her stress. I love his genuine concern for her wellbeing. He takes it even further by giving her all the pleasure that she’s been missing. He’s so sexy and confident. He’s the perfect hookup partner. His desire to please her is everything. Their accelerated courtship is intense and risqué, but perfect for them. They seem to be made for each other. I love the way Danielle Allen makes all holidays feel sexy and romantic.

Éirinn go Brách

Foremost, like savoir-faire Zola Patterson is everywhere ☘️🤭‼️I anticipated, expected & appreciated her legendary journalistic career, elusive persona and the celebrity cameo appearance from the illustrious historical fictional Hamilton University. Nonetheless, “Filled to the Brim: A St. Patrick’s Day Hot Holiday Hookup (Hot Holiday Hookup Novella)”Samiyah & Connor wasn’t my favorite rapid romance couple and or favorite read of the HHH novella’s annual holiday celebration books. However, I’m a biased alumni 💚of the mighty Irish ☘️. That’s four ⭐️’s by default 🤷🏾‍♀️‼️…Hope you had a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Éirinn ☘️

I always enjoy these Hot Holiday books and this one was a good time!

Luck wasn't on Samiyah's side when the venue she was supposed to keep an important event for a vip client fell through. Her stress level was already through the roof and her demanding manager and frantic coworker wasn't helping.

She gets referred to another location where she meets Connor and the attraction was everything. Yes she was still stressed but Connor made it sure he was there to release it for her.

The spice was spicing and these two really made the best of St Patrick's Day.

Last minute changes

This title held so much meaning. Samiyah's cup of stress was truly "Filled to the Brim" because of her boss and co-worker. They were toxic to her soul. The worry and negativity were stressing me. I was happy she met Connor because the way he saw her was beautiful and sexy. Their banter when finally putting a face to name and messages was cute. The chemistry was electrifying.

This was an educational quick and sexy read by Danielle.

[Denise Newman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!!

This hot holiday hookup was definitely spicy and all I can say is wow!!!

Samiayah and Conner we thrown together because of an event place that got flooded and even though it stressed her completely crazy and that cause her to drive him crazy with all her questions and event needs.

When they finally meet the attraction was mutual and had to resist. And once they admitted it the rest was history! So if you love a good erotic romance novella then add this to your TBR!

[Reading In the Red Room · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sooo Hot!!! This steamy quick read is a perfect holiday read. Samiyah Is working on a big St Patrick’s Day celebration for a client…and it needs to be perfect. When they run into a snag a new venue will save the day…she hopes. But it’s the owner that has her beyond flustered. Connor is instantly smitten with her and there is no turning back. This quick read is beyond perfect. The characters have steamy banter and undeniable chemistry. I really Enjoyed this one.

“Connor White: I haven't thought of anything but you
Samiyah Lee: Since you woke up?
Connor White: Since we met.” - swooning

“I didn't have a favorite holiday. But seeing as how you are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, St. Patrick's Day might be it." - what I love about holiday novellas

“"You are pretty special." Bringing his lips to the shell of my ear, he whispered. "And you're magically delicious." "Not Lucky Charms," I giggled.” - LMAO love this

Filled to the brim

I always enjoy these hot holiday hookups and this one was no exception. Connor gave Samiyah some help with some much needed relaxation and stress relief. The spice and buildup was nice and had me wishing I was in Samiyah’s place. I look forward to seeing what the next holiday this series will be based on.

Another holiday hookup banger!

I enjoyed Connor and Samiyah story. Samiyah was anxious and stressed, and Cinnor was just the stress reliever the Shamrock ordered. Ian was right he saw it from the beginning. I would love to know the story behind him saying to be good to Connor. Until the next installment!

[Tarra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Filled for sure

These holiday novellas NEVER MISS. This one was no different. The buildup, the emotion evoked, 10/10 HIGHLY recommend. Samiyah and Connor had chemistry and tension building up even over the phone. Steamy and light-hearted, no heavy topics here, just page turning goodness.

[BetweentheCoversLiterary · Rating 5 out of 5]

So freaking cute

I really enjoyed this cute holiday novella … I think St. Patties Day is my favorite. Connor and Samiyah was burning these pages up and the chemistry between them was so palpable and I loved it. I can’t wait to read what’s next

This is the second novella of Danielle’s I’ve read. The first was Boo’d up. Cannot wait to read the other holiday stories.

A steamy St Patrick’s day hookup and lesson about trusting yourself from a little help with shamrock magic.

Lucky Woman

Samiyah needed to be filled up in more ways than one. Her level of stress was on 10 and Connor was there to be her stress reliever. Loved the inclusion of St. Patrick's Day and it being a 3rd character.

[Candyce Adkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute St. Patrick’s Day Read

I wanted more!!! It ended & I wasn’t ready!!! lol I was happy for Samiyah, getting her backed cracked. I would’ve loved to see how Samiyah & Connor fared moving forward but it hit the spot in less than 100 pages!

[Taija Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]
