What more could a girl want?

Well, Nick hopes she wants to take the next step.

He’s got the perfect girl, that special something is burning a hole in his pocket, and the stage is set for a certain question to be popped.

i like this because it helped get me out of a reading slump lol

it’s super short & fun, i also really like the cover too

it was nice to read about nick & holly again, it’s spicy, & also has a nice summer-y feel to it too

This book felt like it was trying very hard to be ‘woke’ for want of a better word. The conversation about children turning into the current problems of the world made this seem like two people trying so hard to prove they’re good people, for example:
‘With climate change and war and people constantly trying to take rights away from women and the LGBTQIA community, it’s terrifying to thing I’m bringing a child into that.’
Coming from someone who is both a woman and part of the community, this seemed like an irrelevant comment, as these topics weren’t discussed at any other time in this conversation or throughout the book; it seemed to be just thrown in there to make a stand.
Obviously I think these are very important topics which should be discussed more and I welcome that, but this didn’t seem very through through or tactful.

I just love Holly and Nick.

I can't wait to see what Dana writes up for them next!

[Ashley Jensen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I skimmed a lot of it and I'm concerned the *sparkle* with these characters is dying. It was just okay. Hopefully I'm wrong and the next book will be fantastic!

This is the third novella in the Nick & Holly series and my favorite yet!! I would suggest reading those (Dipped in Holly and Claimed by Cupid) prior to this one as it’s an ongoing timeline!

Nick and Holly are vacationing in Cabo to have a little fun in the sun 😉 and some much needed relaxation. Little does Holly know, Nick has something very special up his sleeve for their last day in paradise 💍💕

This is everything you’d expect — Short, sweet, and oh so sexy!! The praise is absolutely chefs kiss 🤌🏼 It’s been a joy to watch Holly grow her confidence and Nick be vulnerable and I just love this fictional couple so much! Yes, while this book is almost purely smut, Dana always has me tearing up by including the sweetest moments 🥹

By far my favorite in the series! Thank you Dana for the ARC 🙏🏼 Can’t wait to see what’s next for these two!

2 stars. Either for the number of kids they’ll have or the number he already has. Take your pick. All I know is there were too many mentions of kids and babies in this book for me. Not what I came here for!

[Jerney · Rating 1 out of 5]

Idk what happened… maybe they got to comfortable together, causing them to say more barf worthy lines
This really made me dislike the book and starts skim reading

4.12 stars!

Aww I loved this cute little book about Nick and Holly I Cabo! The steam was really steamy as per usual and I loved it!

[Tammy ✨ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ay, amo a esta pareja, y es cierto que al principio comencé la historia solo por que la autora es conocida por libros muy spicy, pero ya siendo el tercer libro de Nick & Holly ya les tengo demasiado cariño y quiero seguir viendo como avanza su relación.

En este caso vemos como están de vacaciones y suceden cosas muy importantes para el futuro de la pareja. Admito que amo a Nick y amo como trata a Holly y vive mirándola y consintiéndola (hombres escritos por mujeres son 10/10)

Escenas spicy muy buenas!

[Heather myfriendsdontread · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series was so good and so addicting. I didn’t think I’d love the characters in a spicy novella series so much. I still think about Nick and Holly from time to time. Books one and two were definitely the best though!

this book gave me the ick + reminded me why i stopped reading this series in the first place

[FG (Lectoradepantalla) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tercer libro de la serie.
Me va gustando cada vez más.

¡3.5 ESTRELLAS!

La relación de Holly y Nick va viento en popa, es por eso que él decide sorprenderla con un viaje a Cabo. Sin embargo, es más que eso.



Este, hasta ahora, es el que más me ha gustado. No sé si se deba a que fue muy tierno, obviamente también fue candente, pero quizá es que ya les he agarrado cariño a estos dos.

“It’s a whole different type of intimacy, eye contact during sex. I’ve never been good at it, until him. I always thought it was awkward, and it took me out of the moment. But with Nick? It heightens everything. It makes goose bumps break out across my skin and my heart swell.”

Amo que el romance entre ellos es muy relajado y divertido. Definitivamente, Holly y Nick, me están gustando cada vez más. Y sí, es lo mismo, escenas empalagosas y eróticas, pero sin duda se disfruta mucho el libro.

The character development is definitely lacking. I was into the first two books because they were fun but getting into the third books was difficult. The line “and they’d probably have to snip me for the head to fit” regarding childbirth….like girl please get out of here with that toxic crap. The rating went from like a 3 to a 1 for that alone.

[Melayna Arbona · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok I’m not sure if I missed something based on other reviews but i thought Bound in Cabo was so much better than the first two? The story line with more detail allows for a better development of the characters. I enjoyed this one a lot!

[Yanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely my least fav out of all 3 but I just like this series so much

[Erin Rogoff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wish this series didn't have to end!

I wish this series didn't have to end! I love the instant, hot chemistry between Nick and Holly, and I can really feel the emotion this novel stirs up. Count me in reading your next book, Dana! Your work is awesome!

[Hadassah S · Rating 3 out of 5]

Okay hear me out, I totally understand that this series is just smutty novella's - and in that department it gets an A+, Dana knows how to write a spicy scene I'll give her that!

But I just feel like these stories are becoming a little repetitive 😪 (and that's coming from someone who really loved reading about Nick & Holly)

I know that this is a novella and there's only so much that can happen, but after 3 books of the same everything always goes perfect storyline, it's just a bit jarring to read about 🥴

And that's probably the whole point of the story so yes, this is very much a me problem 😂

[SensativeBaddie · Rating 2 out of 5]

2/5 ⭐️ I’m really sad this this series veered away from the “dipped in holly” titles and from the original theme of the first 2 novella covers. The cover art of the first two books honestly is what got me to read them and this 3rd one fell flat. The characters fell flat too and their original personalities seemed gone.

[Alanna · Rating 2 out of 5]

absolutely felt super rushed. it felt like i was reading the same spicy scene over and over again. i LOVED the first two and have reread them a ton. so i was super excited to see this one out. but i was completely underwhelmed. hoping for redemption in the next book.

[Devons book corner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you soooo much Dana for the ARC of Bound In Cabo. I literally dropped everything I had going and binged this book. The story of Nick and Holly continues in this hot, steamy novella. I absolutely live for these books and I'm loving the progression of their relationship. Nick and Holly are such a great couple and their story is freaking hot. This is the perfect beach reas for summer. Make sure to check out the other 2 books so that you can enjoy Nick and Holly's story from the beginning.

[That Library Girl Moved To Storygraph · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm invested in this story, but this one was just okay for me.
