No Strings Attached

A Holiday Novella

De: Nouha Jullienne

Narrado por: Samantha Leatherwood, Sebastian York

Being stuck with a hot stranger was not on her holiday to-do list.

Neither was catching feelings.

All Amira wanted was to escape.

After a painful breakup that left her questioning everything—her culture, her boundaries, her sense of self—she’s sworn off men with too much money and charm to spare.

Unfortunately, life didn’t get the memo.

Desperate for a reset, Amira jumps at a last-minute job in Nantucket, hoping a change of scenery will bring peace. But a snowstorm traps her in Seattle right before the holidays.

While waiting to rebook her flight, Amira comes face to… chest, with the tallest, and most obscenely handsome man she’s ever seen.

Henson Miller is one-half of Seattle’s richest brother moguls. A dominant, golden-retriever billionaire with a filthy mouth and a surprisingly tender heart.

Henson is used to women wanting his money, his name, or both. But Amira wants none of it. She’s fiery, guarded, and totally unimpressed by his empire. He wants her. But he doesn’t do attachments.

With the city shut down and only one hotel suite left, they’re forced to share a room.

One night. No expectations.

But what started as a fluke encounter turns into a holiday neither of them can shake—and a connection that refuses to stay casual.

She swore she wouldn’t lose herself in another relationship.

He promised no strings attached.

But neither of them is prepared for what happens when fate gets involved.

Amazing and HOT novella with awesome narration!

ALC review.
Thanks to the author and Blue Nose Audio for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own!

Holy Macaroni! Swoon.... This was my first book from this author and definitely won't be the last. I LOVED this story and the narration was so good too, I mean Sebastian York has never disappointed me. The narrators' voices fit the story amazingly! So well done!
Even though No Strings Attached is labeled as a holiday novella, and it does take place around Christmas, I feel like you can still listen to it/read it whole year round.
It's insta love, grumpy man, stranded together, great banter, dirty talk.. "Say you are mine..." I am obsessed!

A Festive, Spicy Little Treat! 🎄🔥

This was such a cute, festive, fast-paced, and deliciously steamy little holiday novella. We follow Amira, who finds herself stuck at the airport with the grumpiest of grumps, Henson… a wealthy billionaire with zero patience and a surprising soft spot for one very charming stranger.

Even though she insists he doesn’t owe her anything, he books them both a first-class flight out the next morning… and from the minute they meet, you can feel him falling first, falling hard, and trying very badly to hide it. One night together in a penthouse suite turns into a plan to go their separate ways, clean break, no strings, no complications. Except of course, it never works out that neatly.

The next time they cross paths, Amira is knocking on his parents’ front door as the decorator for their massive New Year’s Eve party. And once these two are in the same room again? Yeah… resisting each other is no longer an option. The chemistry, the tension, the soft little moments where he tries so hard to show her he cares it all builds into this steamy, sexy, he-falls-first holiday atmosphere that I absolutely loved. There is a bit of drama, but Henson does not let her slip away a second time.

And the audiobook? Absolute perfection.
Sebastian York embodies the grumpy billionaire energy flawlessly that deep, intentional tone fits Henson so well. And Samantha Leatherwood, who was new to me, completely won me over. Her performance was emotional, expressive, and brought Amira’s heart and hesitancy to life in such a real way.

Overall, it was an adorable, spicy holiday listen that hit exactly the way a novella should. Cozy, sexy, and full of festive charm.

would love to be stuck in a snowstorm with Henson Miller

No Strings Attached by Nouha Jullienne -
Story - 4 stars Audiobook - 5 stars

Two people end up stuck in a snowstorm and have to share a hotel room. They promise each other just one night, but it turns into something more than they expected.

Sean Masters voices Henson Miller, one half of Seattle's most successful moguls. He has that big, golden retriever energy and a delightfully dirty mouth. Sean always nails that perfect, growly book boyfriend vibe, and I loved the little hint of a New York accent which was absolutely delicious.

Samantha Leatherman brings Amira to life, a woman who swears off men after a tough breakup and focuses on her new job in Nantucket. That is, until a snowstorm hits Seattle and she meets the charming Henson. This was my first time listening to Samantha Leatherman, and I'm now a big fan. She captured Amira's inner struggle to let another man in so beautifully.

This was an incredibly charming and heartwarming listen for the holiday season with some great banter and delicious smut. It was rather insta-love which I am not a huge fan of but I do think it worked perfectly for this short holiday read.

ALC Review!

If you love those Christmas Hallmark movies, you will love No Strings Attached!
This was a perfect airport meet cute to start off the Christmas spirit! I loved everything about this novella. Henson and Amira were the perfect match.
I enjoyed how real and raw each of them were and how they complimented each other so well.
Henson suffers from panic attacks and I thought it was so beautiful how quickly Amira picked up on the fact he was spiraling within the first 5 minutes of them meeting and helped him calm down immediately.
Their flight is delayed and Henson offers to pay for her next flight and a place to stay until the morning. After their on night of hot 'no strings attached' fling they part their separate ways until by chance Amira is the one that just so happens to be planning his families holiday party.
The story was well paced for a novella and the chemistry between them was definitely felt through the pages.

The narrators did such an amazing job at bringing Henson and Amira to life. They were perfect for their voices in my opinion. The dual narration made it easy to be immersed into the story as if i were watching a movie. They really brought the story to life and i honestly didn’t want it to be over!

You will love this book and if you have the chance to listen to the audiobook i HIGHLY recommend you do!

Banter and Spice

No Strings Attached is a fast, snarky novella with the perfect blend of banter and heart. Henson is a lowkey billionaire who avoids the limelight and has sworn off dating, mostly because no one ever seems to love him for the right reasons. Amira, fresh out of a breakup and craving a clean slate, is his total opposite in all the best ways. Their meet-cute sets the tone immediately: fun, flirty, and irresistible.

Samantha Leatherwood and Sebastian York shine in this one. Leatherwood brings Amira’s humor and vulnerability to life, while York captures Henson’s guarded intensity and unexpected softness. Their chemistry keeps the story moving and makes every exchange land.

If you’re looking for a quick, engaging listen with great narration, sharp dialogue, and a billionaire hero who finally meets someone worth breaking his rules for, this novella delivers.
