3.75 ⭐️ Cute and spicy; nice little addition to Hoops. I’ve already read the series but these short stories should be read after Block Shot (book 2).

Love love love! I mean come on. Christmas novella about the characters from the Hoops series!? The only complaint was that this was too short!

Kennedy Ryan included a link to this ebook in the Hoops Series Limited Edition Box Set that I was reading on Kindle Unlimited and I downloaded this ebook from Book Funnel. I read this book after reading the Hoops series. I really enjoyed reading what happened with Iris and August and Banner and Jared. It’s not necessary to read these short stories unless you want to know what these 2 couples are up to during Christmas.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. August and Iris are star crises lovers with a new blessing in their lives. They attend a Christmas party with a secret only one person will find out, Lotus. Lotus doesn’t need Spells to make a man want her, yet she has Kenan in a trance. They don’t say more than three words to each but they can’t stop thinking about the other person. Across the world, Banner and Jared attend a New Year’s Eve party to lighten their moods. It turns out, their word for the new year is joy after the news they received.

cute, hot, lovely - exactly what you want in a bonus. there were some fondly amusing moments in here too, so i had fun! i’m counting this towards my reading challenge even if it’s only like 50 pages, idc! i really enjoyed the little glimpse into iris/august and banner/jared beyond their books (and the little tease of lotus/kenan - which has me absolutely frothing for hook shot next!).

jared still has me turned out, i see 🤪 and his singlemindedness for his woman still had me giggling!

side note, but sarai is so adorable and endearing. i hope there’s more of her in the last book.

2 short stories that were a great ending to a wonderful series!

I am definitely happy that we got to see Zo get his HEA because I will never get over how bad of a hand he was dealt in block shot! These Short Stories made it a little less painful. ❤️

Cute novella closing the chapter, or opening yet another door for August & Iris, Banner & Jared. Enjoyed reading this as I wrap up the holiday season. Makes me wonder if we’ll see more of the hoops stars in future books.

So much crammed into a few pages but just enough to let you know your main characters are living life to the fullest and falling in love all over the place. Can’t wait to read the next installment 🌹

A cute continuation of the Hoops series. If you loved Iris, August, Banner, and Jared and want a little more of their love story, you’ll love this novella.

I loved getting a little extra from these couples especially in a Christmas book. I miss these couples so getting a touch more from them makes my heart happy.

I truly enjoyed catching up to read what was going on with August, Iris, Jared and Banner. It’s like Kennedy Ryan knew we wanted/needed a lil more of them.
