Hopeless #3.5 (Finding Perfect)

by Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward, Colleen Hoover

Six standalone holiday short stories!

The Merry Mistake by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

Note to self: Ask Santa for glasses this year. When I accidentally mistook a gorgeous man resting outside my building for a homeless person in need of lunch, we got into it. I’d only been trying to do a good deed around the holidays, but he called me righteous. I called him something far worse. If only I didn’t have to see him again. But fate had other plans.

Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover

A short story that brings back several of Colleen’s most beloved characters. Told from the point of view of Daniel from Finding Cinderella, readers will finally get the story they’ve been begging for more of. For the best reading experience, make sure you’ve read all three books that come together to make up this heartwarming and fun holiday short story; Finding Cinderella, Hopeless and All Your Perfects.

A Rock Chick Christmas by Kristen Ashley

What's Christmas with the Starks like? Get a peek into the Rock Chick world and how Luke copes with Ava going Christmas gaga and just what he will, and won't, do for his girls during the holidays.

Just Say When by Jill Shalvis

When the one you want …

Is the one you can’t seem to have…

Can love conquer all?

The Pact by Elle Kennedy

Thanks to my hectic schedule as a pro hockey player, my girl and I are spending more time apart than together. Luckily, I have a solution—a romantic New Year’s Eve getaway in the mountains, just me and Grace and plenty of sexytimes. Except this blizzard has other ideas...

The Package by K. Bromberg

Christmas week can’t get any worse for Jules Jilliland. Dumped by her boyfriend, rear-ended on the freeway, and fired from her job, she finds herself stuck in an elevator with a handsome stranger. When their packages are accidentally swapped, will it end up being a misfortunate accident that suddenly brightens her holidays?

4 stars 




The Merry Mistake by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward- 4 stars

This story starts out with Piper trying to do the right thing and help out a homeless person… I loved the direction it went in. I thought Piper was great and well developed for this being so short. My favorite thing about it was her relationship with Mason’s dad. It was a sweet story I enjoyed lots.

Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover- 5 stars

This was by far my favorite of the anthology. If you’ve read ‘Finding Cinderella’ and ‘All Your Perfects by this author, this story will mean so much to you. Daniel is 100% my favorite CoHo hero and I was so excited to read more of his story. I sobbed through so much of this, but by the end I was smiling so big. This one really was perfect!

A Rock Chick Christmas by Kristen Ashley- 3.5 stars

Christmas with the Starks! I can’t ever get enough of the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch and I enjoyed this short Christmas story of Ava and Luke. Though I could understand what their little spat was about, I can’t relate LOL. This one wasn’t my favorite, but I liked it all the same.

The Pact by Elle Kennedy-4.25 stars

Logan… sigh. When I think about Elle Kennedy’s ‘Off Campus’ series, I always think about Logan. He and Gracie are my favorite couple and I think their book is the best in the series. This novella is about the two of them navigating their relationship with her still in school, and Logan in the NHL. I loved the way it started out, and I adored the whole thing.



I skipped the other two novellas in this anthology because of #1- time, and #2 the other 4 were by authors I know and love. I hope to eventually go back and get to them.

A very nice gift by some of the most famous romance authors for their fans.
I read "The Merry Mistake" by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward and loved it.
I think the rest of the short stories are part of series which I haven't started yet.

[Fanny · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Pact fue una novela corta encantadora ideal para estas fechas del año.

Me encanto especialmente que Logan y Grace sigan siendo una pareja tan unica y autentica, ademas sus conversaciones siguen siendo tan hilarantes y alocadas que es imposible no reir a carcajadas al leer sus momentos juntos.

Como siempre me sucede con este tipo de libro, desearia que fuera mas largo, principalmente porque nunca me cansare de leer sobre estas maravillosas parejas que ha creado Elle.

En fin, The Pact es un relato Navideño genial, breve y romantico que me hizo pasar un momento fantastico. Si eres fan de Elle Kennedy o de su saga Off Campus no puedes obviar esta novella, te aseguro que te pondra de muy buen humor.

4 Estrellas!!

[Bev · Rating 3 out of 5]

I only read the Kristen Ashley part and loved catching up with Luke again even though it was only a snippet.

I tried reading The Pact but gave up not long after starting it. I think I'm done with NA unless it's MM. 🤷

This was all kinds of adorable and Christmassy. Had such a great time with these stories.

5 I Want More Stars!!

I can honestly say I enjoyed this (too) short story by KA so much more than any of her recent books it makes me miss her early writing/books.

This Christmas short story focuses on my personal favorite Hot Bunch guy Luke Stark, Ava, and his babies. I’m not going to say much more since it is a short story, what I will say is if your a RC fan, you’ll love this tasty little morsel.

[Kelly (and the Book Boar)]

Colleen Hoover's Insta told me about this one (see, it pays to be a stalker sometimes - ain't that right, David Joy??? Oh wait, he hasn't given me his new book yet).

I think I will go with 3 1/2 stars rounded up to 4. Here's the breakdown.

Merry Mistake- 4 Stars! Very cute and funny. Good characters.

Finding Perfect- 5 Stars! LOVED!! Perfect companion to All Your Perfects and Finding Cinderella. You must read those two books first. I think for minimum spoilage read All Your Perfects first then Finding Cinderella.

A Rock Chick Christmas- 2 Stars. KA was on her soapbox... Luke made me mad and Ava basically let it go with a "babe" and some more yada, yada.

Just Say When- 3 Stars. It was okay.

The Pact- 4 Stars! Very nice look in on Logan and Grace.

The Package- 3 1/2 Stars. Cute. Unsure about the romance part. I'm not sure if this is a beginning to a story or just an unrelated short. If it's a beginning, I'd read Jules and Archer's story. If someone knows, let me know.

Happy reading!

This one was so confusing! There were too many wives and husbands and I just lost track of all of them at some point. Thus I unfortunately also lost interest in the story quite quickly.

All Wrapped Up for the Holidays
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm reading this because of my obsession with the Off-campus series, though I might come back to this later and read the other parts if I'm interested.

The Pact
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Grace and Logan have my heart, they're my fave couple from the series so I was so happy when I found out this was about them. It was such a cute little story ahhh I love them even more.

[Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect bunch of Christmas short stories

When you have little bursts of free time over the Christmas break, this is the perfect way to get my romance reading fill. Each story gave me sigh-worthy moments and left me content but wanting more. These are some of my very favourite romance authors and even these short stories gave me the perfect buzz to leave me satisfied.

I absolutely loved revisiting friends, meeting new ones and even having some new experiences with authors I've never tried. All Wrapped Up for the Holidays was better than expected and the perfect Christmas present to me.

All Wrapped up for the Holidays is a collection of six short stories offered for free to fans of the authors involved. You can download your copy via BookFunnel here for a limited time.

The Merry Mistake by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward - 4 stars

I've heard great things about both Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward but this is the first time I've read one of their books. I'm not sure if The Merry Mistake is linked to any of their other books but it worked perfectly as a stand alone. It's a really cute romance between Piper and Mason, two characters who meet when Piper mistakes Mason for a homeless man and buys him lunch. He is rather insulted by her assumption and calls her a self-righteous do-gooder so they don't get off to the best of starts! However fate has a way of throwing them back together and they find they have a lot more in common than they could have imagined.

I really enjoyed this one, it was the right amount of sweet without being over the top, there was a good amount of humour and both characters were extremely easy to like. I definitely plan to check out more books from both of these authors in the future.

Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover - No Rating

Colleen Hoover recommends reading this story after her books Finding Cinderella and All Your Perfects so, since I've not read either of those books yet I skipped this one. I will come back and update this review at a later date when I get around to reading it though.

A Rock Chick Christmas by Kristen Ashley - No Rating

This story is about characters from Kristen Ashley's Rock Chick series. I did try to read it but there were so many different names dropped in the first few pages that I was totally confused. I'm sure this is brilliant for fans of the series who get to catch up with familiar characters but it didn't really work as an introduction to the world so I didn't even finish reading it. Again I'll come back to it at a later date if I ever read the Rock Chick books.

Just Say When by Jill Shalvis - 4 stars

Just Say When is part of Jill Shalvis' Heartbreaker Bay series so I'm sure anyone who has read this series will already be familiar with the characters involved but I'm happy to say it's still a really enjoyable read even if you're new to the series.

James and Julia have been dating for several months but he's becoming increasingly frustrated by the way she always sneaks out of his bed in the middle of the night. He wants more from their relationship but he's scared to push her as he knows she's been hurt before and it's made her gun-shy. I won't say any more than that but I thought these two made an adorable couple and I really enjoyed seeing them figure out what they both want from the future. I hope we get to discover what happens next for them in the main series and this story has definitely given me a kick to get reading the rest of the Heartbreaker books.

The Pact by Elle Kennedy - 4 stars

The Pact is part of Elle Kennedy's Off-Campus series and is all about characters Logan and Gracie who feature in the second book of the series, The Mistake. I've not actually read any of the books in that series so I was a bit worried I wouldn't enjoy this story but I couldn't have been more wrong. I loved both of these characters and reading this has DEFINITELY made me want to read the other Off-Campus books.

Logan and Grace are already a couple here but they're finding it increasingly difficult to spend time together as she's busy with her studies and he's travelling the country as a professional hockey player. This story is about putting in the effort to keep a relationship alive, it's about making time for each other even when you're exhausted and basically it's just about remembering what's important. I'm sure if you'e already read The Mistake you'll love the chance to catch up with these two but even if you're new to the characters it's still a really sweet and pretty hot read.

The Package by K. Bromberg - 3.5 stars

K. Bromberg is another new to me author that I've heard good things about but never got around to reading. I'm not sure if The Package is linked to any of her other books or series but I was able to enjoy it as a stand alone so it wasn't an issue.

This was the very definition of a meet cute as characters Julia and Archer bump into each other when they get trapped in a broken down elevator. Julia is having the worst day ever and ends up ranting about the company and her job to Archer completely unaware of the fact that he owns the company. I found both of these characters likeable and I was left feeling that they could become a great couple in the future. I did find a couple of things completely unbelievable (like her job offer and bonus cheque) but overall this was a cute and funny read.

Antologia All Wrapped Up For The Holidays:


💝THE MERRY MISTAKE DE VI KEELAND & PENELOPE WARD💝

Nota para mí: Pedirle a Santa Claus unas gafas este año.

Cuando accidentalmente confundí a un hombre guapísimo que descansaba fuera de mi edificio con un indigente que necesitaba comer, nos metimos en un lío.

Yo sólo intentaba hacer una buena acción durante las fiestas, pero él me llamó "justa". Yo le llamé algo mucho peor. Si tan sólo no tuviera que volver a verlo.

Pero el destino tenía otros planes.

The Pact - Elle Kennedy - 3.5 stars.

It's a short story about Logan and Grace from The Mistake. Even though, they are not my favourite couple from the Off Campus series, this was really cute. It's a quick and fun read when you want to read something sweet.

By the way, Garrett was in one measly scene and I miss him like crazy. Can I have ice hockey royalty Garrett Graham and Hannah Wells back?

[B.E.Love · Rating 4 out of 5]

I only read the Kristen Ashley novella and it was relate fun to catch up on two of my favorites. I'm sure I will try out the other authors since I don't know a lot about them and this will be a good way to see if I like them too.

The Merry Mistake by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward – 4 Stars
The Merry Mistake is a cute and quick read. What else do you expect from this awesome writing duo? The Merry Mistake is almost the perfect length. Though, I wish there was another chapter or two.

Finding Perfect by Colleen Hoover - 5 Stars
Finding Perfect is a beautiful follow up to Finding Cinderella and All Your Perfects. It’s a story I didn’t know I needed until I read the last page.

A Rock Chick Christmas by Kristen Ashley – 2 Stars
I’ve never read anything by Kristen Ashley and I don’t think I will. This is obviously part of another story, but that’s not the reason I rated it 2 stars. I would not be able to enjoy a story with Luke Stark as the main character. #SorryNotSorry.

Just Say When by Jill Shalvis – 3 stars
In the opening chapter, I thought this was going to be a 5 star story. Just Say When has the perfect amount of miscommunication and complexity for a short story. Unfortunately, things wrap up too quickly. Just Say When would have really benefited from another chapter or two.

The Pact by Elle Kennedy – 5 stars
The Pact is easily the best story in this anthology! The Pact is a small add on to Grace and Logan’s story as they navigate the difficulties of the NHL lifestyle. It’s cute, fun, and sexy.

The Package by K. Bromberg – 3 Stars
The Package has a lot going on, which is why I rated it three stars instead of four stars. This could have easily been lengthened into a full-length novel that focuses on body image.

[Ermani · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 Stars A fun collection of short stories and in some cases a peek at what some of our favorites are doing now. All of the stories were good but props to Colleen Hoover for bringing my favorite story of the group. A close second to Elle Kennedy for a funny and creative catch up with more book friends. But regardless of who’s story I was reading, I enjoyed them beginning to end. Thank you to all of the authors for giving this Christmas gift free to us readers!!

Reader beware, there are significant spoilers for the Colleen Hoover books Finding Cinderella and All Your Perfects. Both amazing novels I’d highly recommend reading first and in that order. There were other spoilers in some of the others but not that I recall would spoil the books too much.

A Rock Chick Christmas

I solely read this for Kristen Ashley and once again, I’m crying. She is the romance queen, so it’s not a shock that I’m absolutely in love. The short story featured my favorite couple: Luke and Ava.

I’m such a sucker for these little holiday novellas. It’s so nice to come back and see our favorite people celebrating the holiday that’s coming up.

I once again have butterflies because of Luke. I swear, no other hero by KA makes me feel this way. I love this straight shooter.
