Clipped
If you enjoy insta-everything, a strong and wild female lead and plenty of steam, this short and sexy read is for you.
Mona Mitchell has lived in the small town of Blue Falls all her life and she wouldn’t dream of living anywhere else. She owns a successful hair salon and has a great group of friends that are more like family. There’s just one tiny problem. Mona doesn’t want kids. She never has and she never will. Dating is hard enough in a small town but add to that the fact that ALL the men you meet want to be with someone who wants a family someday and you’re going to start running out of options. Mona is starting to resent the fact that she can’t find her happily ever after...
Walker Powell is 43 years old and ridiculously wealthy. He’s never bothered to settle down with a wife and kids. He’s organized and efficient and in control of all aspects of his life. With hotels all over the world and a long line of women willing to warm his bed, you’d think he’d be satisfied. But looks can be deceiving. Walker is bored. Bored of the same women, the same places and the same everyday motions...
A chance encounter will bring this unlikely duo into each others' lives when they least expect it.
Has Mona finally met her match in an older man?
Can Walker handle a woman like Mona?
A missing vibrator, an arousing haircut and a tiny misunderstanding just might lead to love after all...

5 'This Woman' Stars!!
This was so awesome. Honestly I can't remember laughing so hard from a book like this before. It was super hot, sexy, and short. But it was also funny and was just an altogether enjoyable read :)

Well the woman knew what she wanted, how to get it and she went for it.
She said that she liked the d and her vagina liked the d too.
But there was something about her that I couldn't like I just don't know what was it? Maybe she was too forward? I honestly don't know.
There's an epilogue of 2 years later and 4 years after that but NO babies because both of them didn't want babies and that's a letdown for me because I love my epilogues with babies if there's no babies I'm not satisfied!!

Extremely short little novella about Walker and Mona.
-Steaming hot sex
-instalove
-absolutely no cheating or ow/om drama
-a miscommunication causes a two week separation but after that they are together
--cute epilogue with a HEA
*this storyline is something you don't see often. I have a friend who doesn't want children. She said she has been looked at like she is a nut, like her life isn't fulfilling if she doesn't procreate. Or people assume she can't have children. She and her husband are content to love their nieces and nephews. I have to tell her about this story. She and her husband are not alone.
**the short blurb at the end about Kate and Asher broke my heart. I hope it's not a lot of pushing away. Not due until December which feels like forever

Sweet and hot! A nice little addition to the series. I love Mona. Usually I'm put off by heroines like her. But she has a vulnerable side I like. And Walker is just plain old fucking hot!
October 3, 2016
Why, oh why, haven't I read a book by Stella James until now?!?! This book was really good and it definitely will not be my last book that I read of hers! I really enjoyed this fast-paced love story, with very lovable characters. I love how honest and unapologetic Mona is. She owns who she is and she's absolutely hilarious! I adored Walker and Mona together.
Great short, sexy and fun read!
If you're a fan of insta-love, like me then this one is for you!

"Clipped" A Blue Falls Novella 2.5 is by author Stella James.
Holy wow! What a delightfully decadent novella. Like strawberries dipped in chocolate...than dipped in graham cracker crumbs and one final plunge into the Cool Whip! "Clipped" was super short. It was fun and fast paced and I literally read it in under an hour. This naughty tale features Mona Mitchell and Walker Powell. (I just need to say that "Walker" just so happens to be one of my favorite hero names)
I don't know if this book is listed as a romantic comedy but I was smiling, laughing, and even blushing through most of it. Mona has a dirty mouth; she is outrageous, ballsy, and not afraid to back up her words with actions. She is one of those gutsy, brash and brazen women I can only live vicariously through. Hey, I'm no prude but I'm definitely no Mona! You go naughty girl!
"Holy mother fucking penis batman. I am no stranger to the d. I love the d. And the d loves me. But this thing is in a class all its own and it looks like it means business.
"This is my last one night stand ever I am not taking it slow. I am going to hop aboard the cock express and choo choo my way to pleasure town.>
Walker is a lot older than Mona. He is 43 to her 27. He was sexy as sin, wealthy, cocksure and a wet dream. Walker and Mona were two different personalities and yet they were a perfect match.
Yeah this was totally instalove/lust with panty melting heat. The end was fast but I expected that however it was no less satisfying. I loved the epilogues! Yes there were two of them!
Note to author, Stella I need "Worth The Fight." Like yesterday! You don't want me to lose sleep now do you? :) <3 <3 <3

MONA MITCHELL IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL!
OMG, I have been waiting for Mona's story since reading the first book in the Blue Falls series - Worth the Chance.
She's sassy, feisty, unapologetic in her sexuality & she says what she thinks. I just knew reading about her in her own novella was going to be an awesome ride & it soooooo was.
It's the kinda ride that you throw your arms over your head and just let it take you where it wants coz you know you're in for a good time.
There are so many one-liners and Mona-isms in this book, and they are epic. I'm not into spoilers, so just trust me - you're gonna want to have them in your sassy-chick repertoire. I was either smiling like a loon or laughing out loud the whole time.
That said, this book is funny but it ain't no comedy... it's a totally steamy, sexy, dirty, erotic romance & it is HAAWWTT!
Mona and Walker are explosive together and in the other, each have met their match.
This book was an absolute joy to read. My expectations were pretty up there for this book & Stella James blew not just blew them outta the water, she stomped all over them in a pair of 4in red heels and crushed it!
I honestly could stop my self from devouring the words from the page & as much as I tried to slow myself down to make it last longer, I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I did the next best thing... I re-read it straight away!
Looking forward to reading Kate and Asher's story in Worth the Fight... but in the mean time, I'll probably re-read Clipped. A lot.

This short and hilarious book was exactly what I needed today! Every page either left a smile on my face or had me laughing out loud!! Mona and Walker are just fantastic together! This novella will brighten up your Monday blues and leave you in a happy place. I am definitely looking forward to more of Stella James' Blue Falls series!!

September 13, 2016
Capital H-O-T, HOT!! This short novella in the Blue Falls series is fast paced, scorching and sexy AF. I loved every second of it. Mona and Walker's steamy chemistry had me fanning myself the entire time. This will be the story I reach for when I need a quick sexy read to get me through the day. I just can't get enough.
Mona is my favorite character in the series. I'm so happy to see her get her happily ever after.

Charming quickie
I floved this heroine! Confident, sexy and funny. (Also, I share her views on kids so there's that)
Silly misunderstanding, but the separation wasn't too long. It worked for me this ONE time because they weren't afraid to show how miserable they were without each other.

The story of Mona and Walker I loved! Such a fun and sexy ride! For being a short book it left you breathless!
December 7, 2016
I devoured the first two books in this series, and was very excited for this one! I already loved Mona's character so I couldn't wait to get inside her head and see what was in store for her!
Oh man, what a treat getting inside that mind, indeed.
I. LOVED. MONA!! From literally the very first page, I knew I was going to enjoy this book. And I absolutely did! Mona was such a fun, sexy, and layered character that I fell in love with her about as fast as Walker Powell did. Now about Powell. I BELIEVE Panty-melting was a term created just because of Walker. I'm going with that.
This book was short, sweet, sexy and absolutely hilarious. I want more Mona!

March 24, 2017
My absolute favorite read! Gave me sweet joy. I felt this book was dedicated to me... and all the strong women who aren't damsels in distress looking for a night in shining armor. Furthermore, it's not held against them or they aren't viewed in a negative light because they know what they want and aren't afraid to go after it. Plus, not only do their men appreciate and love them, but they aren't having to rescue a woman to feel like a man. Rather, they are are a blissful match. Equals. OXOXOX
June 23, 2021
Didn't hate it. Didn't really like it. Sick of me, part of me hoped that the bloke she was fucking at the start wasn't Walker. Would've been refreshing.

Fun, quick read
March 17, 2017
Mona Mitchell is one of my favorite characters ever and I've enjoyed her in each of the Blue Falls books so far. Of course her story is fast-paced, hilarious, and SUPER steamy (just like she is!). Her match, Walker, is suave, stylish, confident, and successful. Loved watching them explore their connection.
January 9, 2017
So i have never read any of the books in this series before. I will now. I loved this book. It was sexy, funny and just fun to read.
Mona (Red) is not against love, just against sharing it by having kids. She wants love but feels that whoever she ends up with is enough, and not feel the need to have children.
Walker (Slick) Loves women, his job and travelling. He doesn't have time for a family but wants to find someone to spend time with and travel with. He doesn't have the time to commit to a family with the job he has.
After one night of great sex, neither can forget. after a chance encounter at the barber shop in which Mona owns, their one night becomes one week. But will it be long enough to get each other out of their systems? Or will they both fall for the one thing neither of them had planned?? Love.
Best line....
"It's a please to meet you Mona."
"Of course it is, Im delightful!"

Fun and sexy must read!
Stella James has done it again. I absolutely loved reading Clipped. If you haven't read the first 2 books in the Blue Falls Series, it is not necessary but I would recommend reading them first as you can get the full Mona experience. Mona is a fun and sexy chic who finally found Mr. Right ..Walker. a one night stand turned into love at first sight....another book boyfriend has been added to the list. This is a quick read novella but the author knows how to do of right in just 9 chapters. This left me wanting more and more of Mona and Walker but even 1000 pages wouldn't have been enough. I loved the intensity both characters shared. I found myself laughing one minute and swooning the next. Definitely can't wait for the next book in the Blue Falls Series.

Blue Falls- a series of
Stand alone novella's that has caught my attention. Here we meet Mona who wants to
find love in a relationship that doesn't include children. She's not the "traditional" woman so
to speak but in earlier works she is one of my favorite side characters. Her standalone is a quick and fun read with certain parts that hadn't me laughing. There are steamy scenes with commentary that can only make you giggle and sometimes just gives you that unexpected belly laugh.
Walker is an accomplished business man who strolled into Blue Falls looking for a fun time but ended up with more than he bargained for in Mona. The connection is immediate and his calm demeanor towards her sometimes frantic energy makes for great passion and some good laughs.
One lesson learned, you should always know who is at the other end of the phone.

This may be a short book but it is packed full of hot love scenes and hilarious one liners. Mona Mitchell is outrageous in the best possible way. She says what every one is thinking and makes no apologies for it. She is fed up with dating men that want her to be something she isn't when along comes Walker who is happy to have her, over and over again
February 7, 2017
Clipped was a blast to read! This short novella was super sexy and funny. I loved Mona for being strong, bold, and because she was not going to falter what she wanted out of life. Walker was so intriguing, and the pair made such a cute couple. I can't wait to read more of Stella James' books!
January 13, 2017
Oh my gosh Mona and Walker move fast and so does this book but they're absolutely perfect. I couldn't stop giggling throughout the story and when they're hot they're hot. It's a quick steamy read and love hearing what's been going on in Blue Falls.
