I love the Valentine family! Such a cute and spicy update.
October 13, 2022
LISTEN!! I enjoyed this scene with Xavier and Corrine…a Valentine update will always get my attention. What I wasn’t ready for is Corrine’s insecurities, like WTH? What I loved is that a Valentine Man is ALPHA and a problem solver. Xavier found the remedy through exploring her fantasy and it was HOTTTT!!! The Den is undefeated 😜😝😉 Good, easy, and erotic short!

Oooooouuuuuuu! I am so discombobulated I can't get my thoughts together! The only issue I had with this book is that it had my wanting more. And more! Whew! Sweet genuine love and sizzling hot erotica all at the same can time! Someone needs to open a Den expeditiously!

This was a cute revisit with an original couple. A solid 3 to 3.5 star read. It's under less than 5 stars just because it took me 2 days to get through about 50 pages where I have read an almost 500 page book in a day.
Would definitely recommend if you are a fan of the Valentines.

Another Great Heart of A Valentine Story
I always enjoy the Valentine guys and I enjoyed this one. Including the happenings in The Den made it even more enjoyable. I’m going to start the next book in the series. If you enjoy a good adult love story then read Stephanie Nicole Norris. I should add that this is not the author for you if you are easily offended because there is explicit language and detailed intimate acts but if you are ok with that then you should definitely read this series

🔥 🔥 Fire
With Corrine being away at times for months. Xavier was looking to take his and Corrine romance up a few notches . Will she like what he has planned and will it cause her to spend more time at home? I found this book to be captivating. I highly recommend this book!

Breathless
Okay, so I was always a fan of Xavier and Corinne. I'm so glad you did this crossover. It was fire. I can't wait for the next one. I hope it's Kyle and London. This was a good edition to my collection of books by you. I hope you think about doing a crossover with the Roses too!!!

Oh! Wow!
I have been Team Valentine from the beginning and have not been disappointed yet. This read was exciting, descriptive, and mouth watering all at the same time. Xavier and Corinne have discovered a new path furthering their journey of FOREVERMORE. Thank you Stephanie, I loved it.

steamy!
This gave a new meaning to the phrase absence makes the heart grow fonder. Xavier and Corrine went on an adventure that ultimately strengthened their marriage, relationship and communication within that relationship. It enhanced their intimacy 10 fold. I love to see married people love on each other. Xavier and Corrine did just that.

Harder
This was a story about Corinne and Xavier Valentine. Due to their busy work schedule they spent too little together time. So they lived out their erotic fantasy at an exclusive club. They realized life was passing by and required an adjustment to their lifestyle. Which they committed to change and to enjoy life before I it was too late.

I have read ALL of Stephanie's In the Heart of a Valentine Series and it is always luvly to read an extended version of the characters. Heavy on the D is heavy and fun and it was great to see that Daniela is still showcasing women empowerment!

Loved it, but too short.
By far the best novella of the series. Xavier and Corrine is my favorite Valentine couple. I loved their passion and this novella did not disappoint except that it was too short. I’m ready for another full length Valentine story.

There are fantasies
Being married having your deepest needs met. But with the love of you life what more could a woman ask for, having the respect of your mate to make your fantasy come true in real life (they say love is a hell of a drug.

sexy and fun
It’s always good to revisit the Valentine family. This focuses on Corrine and Xavier. Corrines job and her insecurities keep her from home. Xavier learns about the Den. Sexy times begins. Lol
A fun quick read, recommended

Surprising Cross over
I love the Valentine men and Heavy in the D series, so this was a great cross over. Very detailed, exciting and sexy. I'm happy for the reconnective the couple made.

Oh my! Pearl clincher!
If you are a fan of the Valentines' series this is a must read. It gives you an update on Corine and Xavier. It also gives one of the most erotic scenes; still clinching my pearls.

OMG!!!! I could not sit still with this one ☝🏽 and couldn’t read fast enough. The Valentine Series were my first of many more books to read by this author. None of the books in this series were disappointing. Her writing skills are 🔥🔥🔥

Hmmmmm
Whatever the couple,"Corrine and Xavier" accomplished by visiting "the Den" brought the couple together. All anxieties were relieved and they recaptured or achieved the desire to spend more time together.

The Ultimate Fantasy
The Den is where sexual fantasies come true…now Corrine ultimate fantasy was fire and would love to experience it. Reading this book has a sister hot! Xavier is a beast in the bedroom and I can only imagine what it would be like to be with him!!!

RISQUE’❤️🔥
Very Enjoyable and Hot. Ok now with ‘THE DEN’. It was hot the way Xavier said who all he would include in the love making/sex; is it 2, 3 or 4 people (read the book). The ending was funny too.

Simply Fire!
All I can say is when the story ended, I said NO!!! I loved the concept of the Den! Xavier and Corrine were simply delightful! All I want to know is which Valentine brother and his wife is next in line to visit the Den?!

Xavier and Corinne added some spice to their life and lived out Corinne’s fantasy with the help of The Den. The communication between the two was really great. Safe to say Xavier and Corinne will be back.

Thank you
These two are my favorites Valentine's. This was sexy and having them in Atlanta at the Den was everything. I am so happy for them.

Let the Rain Begin
Short erotic and sexy story. Gets you hot and bothered. Makes you think just what’s possible. I loved the novella.
