Description

This steamy nightcap novella, the fifth book in the No Weddings Series, takes us on a post-happily-ever-after adventure as Cade attempts to rewrite Valentine’s Day with his new wife, Hannah.

Wedded bliss. After everything Hannah and I have been through, we finally have it. Yet dark dreams from my troubled past continue to escalate as we approach Valentine’s Day.

Determined to fill our present with great memories that overtake all others, I plan a trip to New York—down to every scheduled detail. Yeah, there will even be a musical.

But Mother Nature has a few tricks up her sleeve. And the universe keeps throwing us curveballs…

This little novella gave us a peek back in on Cade and Hannah and what's happening since their wedding. There is plenty of HOT amazing sex, nice little romantic moments and the typical Cade/Hannah connection that makes me swoon. This book comes from Cade's POV, which I love, and follows the two on a little Valentine's getaway that Cade arranges to make new memories on a holiday that was not so great following his failed engagement years before. If you are wanting a long, drama filled read this won't be for you, but if you have followed Cade and Hannah since No Weddings, then you for sure need to pick this up! It's a perfect addition to the series and was a quick read that left me feeling quite satisfied with the ending. This was a complimentary e-copy provided by the authors in exchange for a honest review via Netgalley.

Honey and closets will never be the same for me. This book had the hottest sexiest steamiest scenes in the entire series. They were at it like newlyweds, of course, or rabbits. Hopefully you've read the series to know Cade and Hannah were married after nearly a year of exes, heartache and crazy business stuff. He has issues with V-day and continues to have nightmares about his ex and the awful proposal experience. Cade takes Hannah out for a weekend of romantic events but nothing goes as planned, yet seems to be for the better. These two are the perfect match, dirty minds that think alike will always stay together. My copy was given courtesy of the author's for a review.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing a copy for an honest review.

I love this series. I have laughed through each and every book in the No Weddings Series. For Valentine's does not dissappoint on the fun factor and has upped the heat factor big time. This series is not meant to be stand alone and should be read and enjoyed in order.

Hannah and Cade have managed to find a real and lasting deep friendship and fun romantic relationship that has survived exes from hell, past traumas, long distance separations, floods, a wedding and now a Valentine's that has the saying anything that can go wrong will. I loved getting to read the epilogue of For Valentine's. This was a special peek into the Michaelson’s future. I am going to miss these two.

A perfect epilogue to the "No Weddings" series in the form of this novella. I have truly enjoyed series and recommend it to all who enjoy the fun, flirty and sometimes downright sexy. I will miss Hannah, Cade and the rest of the gang.

Great job Kat and Stone!

What a perfect ending to Cade & Hannah’s love story.
In For Valentine’s we see Cade continue to struggle with his nightmares that Valentine’s Day has triggered for him and he finally opens up to Hannah about them. She, of course, is his rock and helps him understand and handle them. We have saw Cade and Hannah’s relationship develop from friends to lovers and then to husband and wife and I have loved every minute of their journey.
My favorite scenes from this book came from when they were stuck in the snow bank, in the coat-check closet and from their intimate gondola ride where Cade got his biggest ever surprise from Hannah.
Again, I am so glad that I got the privilege of taking this journey with Cade and Hannah. It has been a wonderful journey and I am glad to see that their relationship has survived everything that life threw at them and that their relationship is stronger than ever and still growing stronger by the day.
If you have not read any of Cade and Hannah’s stories – you need to NOW and will not be disappointed. The books in this series are:
No Weddings One Funeral Two Bar mitzvahs Three Christmases For Valentine’s

Wow, perfect ending for the perfect series! Now that Cade and Hannah are married, he wants to give her a special surprise for Valentine's Day like no other, in Manhattan. However, some glitches happen along the way, and some unplanned sexcapades. While driving to their destination in her car (Josephine), they get stuck in a snow embankment. Even thou it's a bit of a setback, nothing gets in the way of the perfect weekend as far as Cade is concerned. He has everything planned for a romantic weekend that Hannah will always remember. Recurring nightmares, some bumps in the road mean nothing as long as Cade has Hannah by his side, and of course more sexcapades. I have loved this series so much that I know I will read them again and again. I'm sad that it's ended, but maybe Kat and Stone can do a book on the sisters and get all the characters together again in the future. This is a must buy for anyone who believes in true and everlasting love.

Oh...my...goodness. You know how the synopsis says steamy, scorching and explicit? Make sure you take those words to heart, because For Valentine's is that and more, starting off with one hell of a scorching hot scene.

This novella wrapping up the No Weddings series gives us a fun (and HOT) look at Cade and Hannah after the wedding, and the couple of days leading up to their first Valentine's Day as a married couple. With Hannah's help, Cade is trying to work through some nasty recurring dreams that hearken back to his ex...all while trying to give Hannah a romantic Valentine's weekend getaway.

You've got the sweet, the hot, the explicitly steamy sex, and more than one "awwww" moment, all packed into this quick novella. And you'll get it from Cade's point of view...have I mentioned before how much I love getting stories from the male POV? It makes everything even more interesting with a much more raw look at everything that is going on then what you get from the female POV.

Yes, the story is a bit gratuitous and in some places might get a little cheesy...but what it really is all about is a pure celebration of Hannah and Cade's love. Ultimately it is a very satisfying finish to an amazing series-if you've read the first four books, you will NOT want to miss this wonderful ending.

Another 5 stars...another top recommendation from me (18+ only!)...and I'm sure going to miss these characters. I can always hope and cross my fingers though, right? ;-)

For Valentine's was a sweet, steamy, and just plain adorable addition to the No Weddings series. It was a nice chance to catch up with Cade and Hannah as they deal with the detours they encounter during Cade's planned Valentine's weekend. Their love shines brighter than ever in this installment and it was the perfect ending for Cade and Hannah's journey!
