THE TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS: A Holiday Romance Novella
When her four overprotective brothers challenge Zuri Mitchell to go on twelve blind dates before Christmas, she agrees… if only to prove them wrong and get them out of her love life forever.
But after the first disaster date, she needs backup. Enter Donovan her oldest brother's best friend, freshly divorced, and the last man she should be falling for. He volunteers to be her dating coach, offering pep talks, emergency rescues, and late-night debriefs over hot chocolate.
As the dates pile up (and crash and burn), Zuri realizes the best part of this whole experiment isn't finding Mr. Right on a blind date. It's the time she spends with Donovan. The way he makes her laugh, sees her for who she really is, and fits into her life like he's always belonged there.
There's just one her brother made it crystal clear that Donovan is off-limits.
With Christmas approaching and her heart already decided, Zuri has a choice to make. Keep searching for the perfect match her brothers picked out, or take a chance on the man who's been right in front of her all along, even if it means breaking all the rules.
A sweet, swoony holiday romance about second chances, forbidden love, and discovering that sometimes the best relationships start with friendship.

Sweet Story
What do you do when you fall for someone you're technically not supposed to? Eventually, you lean into it. This was such a cute, sweet read. Zuri and Donovan flowed so effortlessly. I can't believe that at her big age, her brothers not only set her up on dates, but made the first few horrible before they gave her someone worth an outfit!! Her debriefs with Donovan were hilarious and telling of how well these two meshed. If you're looking for a lighthearted holiday read, this one is for you. Happy Reading Y'all!💋

Fun read…
This was a fun read! I liked the two main characters. Zuri’s brothers loved her but was too involved in her dating life.,
The blind dates that the brothers set up were hilarious!
I loved the way love evolved between Zuri and Donovan. Even though they weren’t aware of it happening at first.
There were elements of Christmas in the book.

Cute Story, Christmas love and cheer
I know its a novella, cute story but I felt like the story was being rushed. Shows that only you know what's best for you.
