It's more like a bonus scene but still a great, quick read for all Zane's and Dakota's fans. It's really, really sweet. Wish it was a bit longer because I love these two together.

A short quick read, more like a deleted scene, but fun to read. Nice to see both Zane and Dakota happy.

Decorating the Christmas tree has just gotten a lot more interesting.
Zane and Dakota share a lot together beside decorating the tree. How they feel about one another and if a pregnancy occurs. Well they both come to the same conclusion............Merry Christmas everyone x

Hot and sweet!

This was a cute short Steamy Christmas story. Zane and Dakota were my favorite couple. It was nice to see them again. I hope to read more in the future, who knows 🙂. Enjoy!

Too Short

Zane and Dakota,the night before Christmas, realizes that their love is deep and true. They are in for the long haul and could not be happier.

Sweet.

If you liked Zane's story, then you'll like this sweet, short addition to it. I got it for free from Amazon.

This is a sweet short novella with Zane and Dakota during the Christmas holiday. Love these two characters and always fun to get a little more insight about them.

3.5 stars.

I enjoyed this, I haven’t yet read the previous books but they’re on my TBR, and there wasn’t any spoilers or anything and it was nicely written.

Nice and short

Pretty short but sweet just needed more words Zane and coco are my favorite couple so the more the better.

[Jamie Paciorek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Seriously, this book was just 1 sex scene it could've been put in Zane's book.

Quick read. Nice little short scene for a couple from a larger story.

Why did you take your books off of Kindle


I love the Inked Brotherhood series I didn't get a chance to buy them and I'm sad that you took them off Kendall before I got to buy them

[Geraldine · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick sweet read after the heaviness of reading Zane's story.

A few pages is not a book

[Cynthia Whisler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great short story

This was a cute look into Zane and Dakota's life before Zane's flashbacks came back with a vengeance. Loved it.

[Andrea Fernandez · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sinfully sensual fast paced peek into life with Zane and Dakota. Loved it!

[Kristen Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is basically just another sex scene. Not that there is anything wrong with that but if you are looking for some big story progression you will be disappointed. So if you are craving one more hot and steamy romp with these two, this is right 7p your alley.

1.5 stars
I didn't expect much of this short story, I mean, how much of a story can you put into 15 pages? But I got less than I expected ...

- Some people read NA novels because of the streamy sex scenes and some read them because of the more mature romance in comparison to YA romance novels. I definitely belong to the second category, so this short story was just really boring to me, it was basically just one big sex scene.
-What I like most in books is dialogues or in general talks between characters. In the short story was a huge lack of just that (who would have guessed that since it was a sex scene?) and what we got was for me just not enough, there were no decisions made and there was just in general no point to this short story but an additional sex scene.

I don't know if in the desciption it said something about the content or not, but I went into it blind and I'm disappointed, but maybe that's just me.

Quick read!

Definitely a quick read about how Zane and Dakota are doing so far in their relationship. I definitely recommend this book.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very short story of Zane and Dakota decorating for Christmas and reassuring each other of their love. Very sweet sentimental story. Very touching.

[Bunnita (Worth Reading It?) · Rating 2 out of 5]

This doesn't have much to do with Christmas other than her mentioning decorating their Christmas tree. There isn't much of a story here either. It's basically a back to back to back sex scene. You have a glimpse as to the type of character Zane is but not really about Dakota. This didn't leave me with any feeling of wanting to get to know either character better. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be starting this series any time soon.

[Bella · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is short quick story. Zane and Dakota are spending their first christmas together. So of course is hot and full of making some love. But there's also fear and doubt. But with their love everything is possible. Lovely ending of their journey together.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved Zane and Dakota's story, so I had to read about their first Christmas. Happiness filled with doubt and then joy, that about sums it up. Don't forget the extremely hot sex. If the liked the series then this follow up of the two characters will be fulfilling.

[Angie Harvey · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this a wee bit backward, but I loved this so much! I loved seeing them together again and doing so well!!!!! These two are so adorable and I was really glad to see them still working on their insecurities. Also, it was so hot!!!! Can't wait for more <3
