A magical Christmas for Family Justice
Suzanne has made me love christmas again. What she created for little Bella was beautiful and awe inspiring. Family Justice really got behind this project and made a little girl believe again. The gang was all here and all did there little part to make it a christmas she would never forget. And as it is Suzanne, you could not go by without a little naughty from our couples. And does she bring it big time. Loved Angie and Parker, but the scenes for our resident dog trainer and his Ms Clarke were HOT! Loved that Suzanne took the time to create this piece of magic for us just in time for the holidays.

It is no secret that I have loved each and every one of Suzanne Halliday's books. All of her stories are amazing, exceptionally written, and once I reach the end of them I find myself with a heart that is bursting with love for her characters and the exceptional stories. Dear Bella was no exception to that. This story was beautifully written, it gave me so many unforgettable and heart melting moments with these characters that I love, and in the end it showed me again and again why this series is one that I can't get enough of.
Dear Bella was the perfect novella for the holiday season. It gave me a heart warming story of how far a family will go to show a little girl the magic of Christmas and Santa. It also gave me a story of love that touched my heart and soul. It showed the love a father can have for his daughter, the love you can have for your family, and the love you can have for the one person who completes you. This novella exceptionally crafts those interweaving love stories, and shows exactly what that love can give you as long as you open yourself up to have it.
Told with Suzanne Halliday's mesmerizing writing, Dear Bella captures you in with the love and magic and its consuming nature that will have you feeling all the love, while simultaneously showing you how much more you need with all of these characters in the next breath. This novella showed me again and again why I love this series so much, how right all of these characters are, and how much I need all of them in my life. They have all seared themselves to my heart with their goodness, their loyalty, the depth of their love and fight, and with how far they are willing to go to be there for one another.
Dear Bella showed again and again why these characters are so special. It showed all that they would do for a little girl they all love, and it highlighted the literal goodness of them all. I have to say one of my favorite aspects of this novella was getting more with Bella, Brody, and Heather. Those three own a special part of my heart, and this novella just proved that even more. The depth of what those three share, how right it feels, and how much I got with them all had me loving every single word of this story with them. A touching and emotional story, coupled with some serious love and spark, all while feeling the reason for the season sets this novella in a league of its own.
If you have loved this series, you will love this novella. It is exceptionally written, it gives you so much with these characters, and in the end it'll warm your heart and have you needing more in the same breath. I LOVE this series so so much, and this novella had me knowing that through every word. I will read anything of Suzanne Halliday's, but there's just something special about the Justice family that I cant get enough of. I can't wait for more of this series, and more with all of these amazing characters as we get more of their story. They truly are the best, and I can't say that enough.
Seriously, read this novella. Read it. Feel it. Breathe it in. Let it melt your heart and set you on fire all at once for what these characters do and share. Live it, love it, and see what Family Justice is all about!

A perfect little Holiday story. The entire Justice Team works to help Bella believe in Santa after they realize she has a hard time believing.
It was just so sweet how everyone did what they could to ensure Bella had the perfect Christmas.

Stop hating on Finn
Seriously, I am starting to hate this series.. I feel like Finn is totally bashed on. No appreciation for his own PTSD issues from being a first responder. Please fix the series and make Team Justice come to a realization that they have not cornered the market on facing difficulties.

Dear Bella: A Family Justice Novella
Ahh what everyone does to make sure a child believes in Santa, so that the past can go away. I admit I cried a little bit when I read what Brody, Heather, Major Alex and the rest did to make it happen.

The story of a little girl learning to love & trust again within the Family Justice.
Very emotional, but with the feel good factor. How a 6 yr old girl with the smarts of a much older person manages to wrap everyone in her spell of positivity.

A definite must read book
This was a fantastic, heartbreaking, and emotionally charged story that everyone will enjoy. It's certainly not a story that you'll want to miss!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Awe Baby Bella
It's hard to believe how much tender, endearing, heart warning joy could be packed into this one book.
I'm re-reading this right before Christmas and can't get all the happiness out of my mind. I love Team Jensen so much!

This was my least favorite of the Justice series but it was still worth the read, characters just as likeable.

Bella is the apple of everyone's eye but Santa has misplaced her and she isn't happy with him. See how everyone goes that extra mile to make sure she again believes.

This is truly a lovely story, with just the right amount of kink thrown in!

Absolutely Positively Adorable Santa Story
Once again Suzanne Halliday gives you an early Christmas gift! This story about opening a young girl's heart after suffering terrible events is a true page turner. The build-up of characters and the plan that ensues on the Justice Compound is on point with Operation Red Suit. You will love the wonderful Christmas story and even slightly more you are given another opportunity to fall in love with all those sexy Justice men and their families. Nothing like an early Christmas gift to help you unwind and relax before your festivities begin in your home.

Beautiful!!!
Bella Mia Jensen believed in a lot og things except the big guy that children believed in to bring them their presents on Christmas, Santa Claus.
Heather, Brody and the entire Family Justice nade it their mission to see to it that Bella had a memorable Christmas. But mostly they wanted her to make up with the big guy.
DEAR BELLA is a FAMILY JUSTICE novella by Suzanne Halliday. It was exhilarating, alluring and sweet. To see how everyone spend their holiday was adorable. Suzanne Halliday did it again, you can't help but fall in love with the Family Justice.
P. S. Looking forward to what comes next! ;).

Christmas for Bella
Loved this! Bella has been through so much in her short life and when Christmas comes around Brody and Heather realize that little Bella Mia has no love for Santa Claus! So what are they to do to make sure she has a great Christmas...call all Justice hands on deck and get Bella to love Christmas and Santa of course! Great addition to the series and helped get me in the Christmas spirit just in time!

When you see the name Suzanne Halliday you know that you are going to laugh, cry and need the AC cranked on high. This book was no different. Little Bella is angry at Santa. she thinks that he forgot all about her and is not about to make nice with him now. Team Justice gets together for Project Red Suit to redeem Santa and prove that Christmas is magical. And while Santa is busy, check out Family Justice to see who is being nice and naughty.

I really loved how the whole Justice team worked to help Bella believe in Santa. Everyone seemed to get into, especially Alex. I liked Brody and Cam's frank talk about when Cam was a kid.
While I usually like sex in these books, I felt like there was too much in this one. It's a short story and was supposed to be about Bella and Santa, yet there were 4 or 5 big sex scenes. That was a little odd.

OMG I do believe in Santa after reading about sweet Bella. What the Justice Family did to bring Bella the joy of Christmas was astounding. This book had me riding the emotional roller coaster from crying to laughing to crying again. The writing in Suzanne's books takes you in and makes you feel apart of it! This is a must read book. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!!
