Keep Love Alive
Stephanie Nicole Norris can do no wrong in my eyes when it comes to giving us updates on the Valentine or Rose crews, and as expected, she didn't disappoint.
Raphael and Bri Valentine were my favorite of the Valentine family and this update gave me so much life. Short, yet packed with so much Love and Passion. So, Raphael is STILL breaking headboards 😏. I love it😜.
I love that we got a glimpse of the Roses and Royals of Kēra Asnela; my favorite Rose was Jacob and Carla, so I'm glad we got a bit of Mrs. Carla's antics... hilarious she is.
I love that the Valentine empire is growing and everyone is still in love. I can't get enough. Makes me want to re-read both series again (for like the 5th or 6th time, but whose counting 😏).
Support Mrs. Stephanie Nicole Norris. You will not regret it.
Great short update and read.

Beautiful
OMG!!! It's what she always does, what can i say bout this story: but it's exceptional, funny, truthful, heartbreakingly powerful!!! There are so many parts that require commentary that I would be writing a book myself Rapeal did not play around when it came to his wife Bri and his baby! He is the true example of a husband, his love and that he loves his family; especially his mother! What a beautiful matriarch I really enjoy how our favorite heroes (all the brothers) are a part of this amazing story!!! WOW I really enjoy reading Stephanie Nicole Norris and she did it again!

Wow!
Another Stephanie Norris banger. Although this book was short, I felt all the love that Rafael and Bri had for each other. It’s always great when I can get an update on the Valentine men and their women. These men worked hard, played hard and loved even harder. The best part for me was the emotions that Rafael displayed at the birth of their son. Thank you Stephanie for your dedication to your craft.

Awesome Follow-up!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the follow up story I didn't know I needed. We all want to know what happens next day the end of story when you're first reading it but this really gave me some closure to their story. It also hinted at a future story in Africa. As usual with this series the romance and unadulterated love was EVERYTHING! Stephanie you know you can tell a story girl!

Bree and Raphael are two of my favorite Valentine’s. This story touched home with the way most men think and treat a woman while pregnant with there children. We are not as fragile as men think. I enjoyed reading this story and will be looking to reading more about the growing Valentine family. I highly recommend reading this story and others about The Valentine’s and friends. Please keep them coming Stephanie Norris (Amazing Author).

Never disappointed ❤️
The Valentine Men still out here making women swoon over them! This moment with Bri and Raphael was cute and joyous. I got a chance to see how they grew and matured in their love and it was definitely worth the wait. Yes, Raphael still got it, Walter E. Smith on speed dial at that Valentine home😜. The man is definitely something to be reckoned with behind closed doors 🥵. Great catch up Ms. Norris

Baby…Oh Baby!
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. But, can be one of hr most stressful times in one’s life. Of course everything is out of wack and emotions or all over the place. Bri definitely experienced all of this during her pregnancy. But, Raphael was there to reassure her and love her no matter what. Great holiday story.

Reunion with the Valentine's
I loved reading the Valentine series and I was disappointed when it ended. I was glad that you decided to keep us updated on what's happening in the characters lives. Keep writing and I will keep reading them..

Good Times
I chose this because it was good to read about the changes and the growing of the families. It was also good to read about the Rose's and the Valentine's in the same book again.

Table for 3
I enjoyed "Table For Three." This holiday novella held my interest from the first page and I wanted more at the end. Great read. I recommend this book but read the other 10 novels before this one!!

Another must read book by Ms. Norris. This novella held my interest until the end & hated to see the novella come to an end. The Valentine & the Rose families are my favorite families. Enjoyed the chemistry between Bri & Raphael. Loved catching up on the Valentine men & their Queens .

Love, Love, Love, Love
I love it. I love that it includes all of the Valentine's. I love that there are more babies coming, which means we'll most likely be getting more stories. Yay! And, I love your writing, Stephanie!

So good
I love to get an update on couples I've read about and adored. Raphael is one of my favorites, and his situation with his first love made him highly favored in my book. He received his happily in love and marriage with a sweet bonus.

Great read
Great read, I enjoyed catching with the Valentines. Raphael and Bri are having a baby. Her third trimester was emotional for her. It was good to see them overcome their challenges. As well as , the announcement that the Valentine’s family is growing.

This quick story updating us on what’s going on with Raphael and Bri was just too adorable. It’s good to know what the Valentines are up too with their growing families.

A new life
How exciting it is to bring forth a new life an amazing addition to your family. Raphael thinking that he may hurt Bri because of the multiple headboards they have broken was sweet but I understand where Bri was coming from. Give me the "D".
