A holiday Novella
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Henson meets Amira in a crowded airport flying home to Nantucket after his flight gets cancelled. They have an absolutely amazing 1 night together and he so falls first. They meet again on Christmas Eve as Amira is his mother’s New Year’s Eve event planner as she’s delivering a floral arrangement.
Love this saying “You can’t discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” One part I cried at and screamed YES!!!
Love that the writer thru in some “Temptress and a baby girl” seemed so fitting. I am so honored the writer chose to write this novella and share it. It’s a definite must read!!

Love this book! This will be a great quick read during the busy holiday season. I always wanted a meet cute at the airport. From the beginning, the chemistry between Amira and Henson was chef kiss. Even though they agreed to it just being one night, and what a night it was, you knew that it was going to evolve into something much more. And I ate up every page of it. Even with Henson's meddling mother and his ex shows up, Henson only has eyes for Amira. She is the shining light as she tries to navigate her way through a breakup.

You want a quick, spicy holiday read, then No Strings Attached by Nouha Jullienne is your next read! The chemistry between these two characters is 💥. I love how the connection between them is explosive but also builds naturally. This is the first book in a while that was a quick read, but the story and the encounters between the characters did not feel completely rushed.
