My Christmas Wish: Novella
The holidays are supposed to be filled with family, love, joy, good food, drinks, shopping, and plenty of gifts. It sounds nice right, it’s something everyone wants especially around Christmas. Tamia Raye Carter makes plans to go home for Christmas to experience all the above.
It’s been years since Tamia stepped foot in Atlanta, just to kick it for more reasons than one. A few weeks before her vacation is supposed to start. Tamia gets devastating news her grandmother is in ICU. Tamia’s unable to cope with her grandmother’s condition, she rushes back home to be by her side.
A planned vacation turns into a permanent situation. Moving back home is the last thing Tamia had in mind because she has way too many skeletons in her closet to get caught up. On the bright side she’s able to link back up with her best friends to party and kick it.
Atlanta is small and Tamia’s friends run in the same circle with someone from her past. Tamia finds herself in a few sticky situations, she owes someone from her past a few explanations. With everything going on around Tamia, Christmas is looking a little iffy until she lands herself on someone else’s Christmas and hit list.

Good read
I don’t know some women hide the kid from the baby daddy. Especially if y’all have friends and family in common. There’s nothing like the kind of love that will let you let go and let the other person be happy. Great story.

Old love becomes new love
This was my first book by Ms. Nicole and it seems as if these characters have deep history. I was actually most intrigued by Kaniyah who seems to radiate boss energy. Tamia and Tariq find their way back together after not seeing each other for over a decade. Their relationship ended horribly and Tamia completely shut down with a huge secret that she never thought she would have to share.
I get this was a short story, but it seemed too complex to be short. It felt rushed, especially with the way Tamia and Tariq reconnected so quickly. Trust just isn't rebuilt that quickly. Also the seemingly unfinished business Tariq had with Kaniyah was a whole lot. There were also so many questions remaining by the end of the story that it felt incomplete. Needless to say intrigued and would read more about these characters.

My Best Christmas
Nikki this book was a surprise, but it was so good to hear from some of the old crew. I’m just glad that Tariq finally found his true love and she completes him, I thought he was going to act a fool once he found out about his son. But I loved the way it ended. now you have to write Tamia & Tariq wedding 😛😛❤️❤️.

An excellent Christmas story
I must admit Author Nikki Necole knows how to write a dope love story. I can tell I really enjoyed this Christmas story because I could not put it down. I found myself reading in the nail salon, waiting in the fast food line and Wal-Mart parking lot while eating my food on the go. Its the Holidays baby! A great read and I loved it!

Great Read
Nikki is a beast in the writing industry. I love everything about this story. There is so much I want to say, but I don't want to spoil it for the other readers. I need a full book and K is still that b****!

Nice story
Nice story but a better ending would have been nice.We left hanging.Did they get married or did he go to jail for the death of his other baby mama,and what happened to her mama if she was the one putting her daughter out there for money.

stuck
Girl you know you always playing to much . This book was every thing finally Tariq got a happy ending. I hate you still got him having love for Kaniya . And vis versus because when first reading this book you almost forget his story because of how much he said he want Tamia back which can confuse you. Overall I love these characters less hope nothing changes lol

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love this Christmas story. Danielle and her mom deserved that karma. Tamia should've told him when glued son was becoming of age. What she did was mess up. I understand she was hurt but if she would've tell her truth everything would've been okay. I'm glad everything worked out for everyone!

Do you love Hood love , do you love secret baby and love redemption trope then this is the novella for you. You wouldn’t put this story down for anything , it’s gripping from the starts and will have you on the edge of your seat. We follow Tamia and Tariq’s love story and let me tell you it is a good Christmas one !

Tamia and Tariq
This is a beautiful short story. Big Riq was determined to get his lady back. He had grown up and learned from his mistakes. Tamia we so scared that once he found out about their son that he would be mad, but it worked in his favor to get her back.

Sweet ending
There's so much unsaid and I'm nosy. The backstory has to be all that. I was happy she got her happy ending that she fought against.
