Holiday for Six

The Six #1

by Kelly Finley

From the “Queen of Spice,” author Kelly Finley, comes a new holiday standalone romance featuring a hilarious and hot group of friends. This steamy friends-to-lovers, forced proximity romantic comedy will surely heat your laughing cheeks.

Three hot couples. Six naughty gifts. One superyacht cruise.

What could go oh so right?

Lately, I’m closer to my rabbit than I am to my celebrity husband.

I mean… I’m a happily married woman, but we never have time to play. I’m dying for some holiday fun.

Then, our friends propose a vacation with a nightly game that’s not safe for work or neighborly gossip.

Like, never. I’ll have to move if this racy kitty gets out of the bag.

Half of us grew up together, four of us work together…and all of us have feelings for each other.

Can opening our marriages (and legs) for one week satisfy our curiosity, or will it open the floodgates… in a gooood way?

Between my famous, dreamy husband, his bad-boy costar, my forbidden friend, and their two gorgeous wives, these spicy scenes are not for the big screen.

But just once, doesn’t a woman deserve to star in a story like this?

Don’t we all deserve to choose our happy ending(s)?

Yeah, I’m about to set sail on a sea of sin.

All aboard?

DNF at 98% so I’ll just say I finished it
2.5🌟
The Smut was phenomenal but not quite
See when I read “why choose”, I don’t like the concept of “open relationships” i.e I’ll always love my wife but we like sexual freedom. That doesn’t make sense to me. Are you in a poly relationship? Or are you not? Pick a side.
This concept here just made the sex mediocre. I like why choose because all of them usually have more than just mutual respect for each other. This one was mirrored as more “FUN” than “LOVE”
Plus the author actually tried to make me choose my own ending. I don’t like that shit, in fact I’m too indecisive for it.

Thank you to the author for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really wanted to like this book, as I like Kelly's other books, but this book wasn't for me. The premise of the book was amazing: three couples, six naughty gifts, and a superyacht cruise. I just couldn't get over all the different sayings that were supposed to be funny. In the beginning, I found them funny, but overtime it was starting to get annoying and old. I found the book to be too long (even though it's 300 pages). I feel like this book could've been way better if it was a 100-page novella. There's little to no plot, which most of the time I'm okay with, but this one just didn't feel right. There was a lot of repetitiveness -- the whole book is all sex, which I normally don't mind, but 300 pages of it was just too much.

Thank you greys promotions and Kelly Finley for this Fantastic book.

Y’all this book was incredibly naughty and juicy. Ahhh oh my god it made me have so many flutters in my panties 🥵

Things you must know about this book!
- Multiple POV
-6 people
-3 couples

Couples:
Eily & Silas
Cade & Ridex
Charlie & Daniel

Trust me y’all you’re gonna need to know who is who I would say it’s crucial.

I can’t express to you how many times I loved this book. If you’re strictly looking for sex with minimal plot, this is it for you. I loved all the characters but some stood out to me.

Eily, everyone needs an Eily in their lives. She is absolutely funny as hell, raunchy AF, knows what she wants, and loves to get it on….with everyone.

Silas. HOLY SHIT Silas! The mouth on this man! He could easily make me do whatever he wanted with that dirty mouth of his. His dirty talk game was freakin TOP TIER!

I’m gonna need you guys to get this book ASAP! Comes out 12/18! Because I need a buddy to talk this through. I’m so sad it’s over.

Lastly, I will gladly read another Kelly Finley. Her writing was superb and her sex scenes were off the charts spectacular! I love multiple sex scenes as long as they are switched up, and man did she do the damn thing.

Nothing was repetitive and everything was imaginable. I could easily read this book again just for the damn sex scenes. They were so incredibly fuckin hot 🥵 🥵🥵🥵.

Tropes:
Alpha Hero, Forced Proximity, Celebrity, Holiday Romance, Billionaire Romance, Forbidden Love, Vacation, Friends-to-lovers, Boss-Employee, Workplace Romance, Unrequited Love, Girl Squad, Hero With an Accent, Beach Romance, Why Choose, Menage

This was the 1st book I have read from Kelly Finley. && let me put this out here.. while her writing and book kept me intrigued, this book wasn't for me. This was the first book I read that had more of a swingers/poly vibe too it and the entire I'm thinking.. "I would be so jealous" ... I guess I'm just territorial lol. But the writing was amazing, character development was great, just the trope wasn't for me.

[Bumble.Bees.Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every single time I say to myself… there is no way she can make her books any hotter than “x” book. I am always blown away and proven SO SO wrong. With all the spice I read, it is rare to have my cheeks beet red, I read a scene from this book and my cheeks were FIRE RED for like an HOUR. I seriously can not recommend this book enough, it is a sexy,sultry, funny, nostalgic, and wonderful holiday read for the spice lovers out there. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this book!

[Lilylou426 · Rating 5 out of 5]

A week long holiday on a giant yacht with your spouse and 2 other couples? Complete with sexual freedom, naughty games and no repercussions? Sign me up! I feel like aside from the fact that everyone of these people are gorgeous and filthy rich, this is a holiday we can all wish for! Spice was on point, games were unique, plenty of snarky comments to keep you entertained, a plot, and plenty of ideas you can put to use irl.

Rating: 4 stars ⭐️

This is a MUST read if you love books filled with extreme SMUT!! 🌶️

You follow three couples with no boundaries while they’re on a boat… 🛳️🛳️

To have the greatest reading experience, I suggest to go blindly into this book so you can fall in love with all the characters and personalities.

I really liked the strong bonds that they had with their significant other.

The couples:
Charlie and Daniel
Eily and Silas

Can not and will not rate this book, I will not be answering questions about it at this time 😂

[Joyce · Rating 2 out of 5]

So cringey. The audiobook could have benefited from narrators who didn’t drop every g at the end of words in an attempt at a “cute” Southern accent—it just sounded forced and distracting. On top of that, there were multiple mispronunciations, which always pulls me out of the story.
The writing itself felt poorly executed and overwhelmingly cheesy, with far too many groan-worthy puns. The “spice” quickly became repetitive rather than engaging, and by the time I reached that poop-pun scene, I genuinely wished I could erase it from my memory. Overall, this was an audiobook I struggled to get through.

[Shernell Joseph · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first half of this book was amazing five stars

The first half was so good, I felt so good reading it and then the other half which was a bit slow. The whole Charlie and Silas will they will they not was annoying and the sixsome didn't feel completed. I almost feel I missed 6 prior books before this. I still really enjoyed it I just realized erotica shouldn't be so long especially when there's no other storyline. I still really enjoyed it I would definitely read more poly relationship books or Foursome or 6some I don't know.

Some positives that I love is the women were more horny than the men and was pushing for the kinkiest things to do. Nobody was forced it was fun and the dialogue was kind of cringy but so funny and creative.
This is the first time I read a book with two different endings so that was interesting.

[Rachel McMahon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy Smutmas! I went into this pretty blind, only knowing that it was a spicy holiday novella. I would give this ten chili peppers if I could. You can’t see it, but I’m canning myself right now. I haven’t read the previous books that told the stories of these six characters, but even without that knowledge I became so invested in these characters that I want to go back and read their stories. It’s crazy to me that there can be as much smut in this book as there is, but still have really complex characters who are working through deep relationship issues and personal identity issues. I really enjoyed that. This book is also HILARIOUS. Kelly has such a way with words. There were so many lines where I laughed out loud, it was so fun. Something really unique about this book that I would love to see in more books is what Kelly did with the ending. I’m not going to give it away, but I think everyone will enjoy the creative choice made. You should definitely add this to your TBR.

Holy kink fest. These scenes were so damn hot! I was really really liking this book and the built up with Charlie and Silas. Then the last 5% just bombed. I didn’t care for the ending. I feel like it strung along thinking we were getting this hot ass orgy ending and then blah. If it would’ve ended differently I probably would’ve given it 5 stars!

Charlie & Daniel
Redix & Cade
Silas & Eily

OMG I don’t even know where to begin with this book!!! I loved it!!!
It’s a lots of friends to lovers why choose romance….they are all happily married male female couples…prior to this book 2 of the couples already liked to share but only with each other…can they get the third couple to jump onboard with what they already have going on
Charlie & Silas are childhood friends/best friends…Daniel & Redix work together & are friends….but can’t friends (all friends no matter the gender) still have feelings for each other??? The real question is can they act on said feelings without complicating things once their holiday is over
The book takes place on a yacht the week leading up to New Years…who doesn’t want to let loose after all the hustle & bustle of Christmas….Silas’ yacht & his & Eilys New Year’s party week sounds like just what Charlie & Daniel need to get their spark back…can they though??? Can they get out of their heads enough to let loose & have some adult fun??? Psst: I don’t want to spoil the story but there may be some DVP & DP involved…if you know you know

Just a heads up before you read…this book is a “sharing is caring” kind of read so check your triggers…not only do they share each other you also get some back story that can be pretty heavy….if you have read the three books leading up to this one then you already know…unfortunately for me I have not…they were already on my TBR but I just hadn’t read them yet…well that’s about to change because I’m nosey & I need to know all of the things

Meh - ridiculously spicy but story could have been executed much better. But it was fine. Last book of 2025!

Okay… so hear me out.
I liked this book. I enjoyed meeting Charlie & Daniel, and Silas, Eily, Redix and Cade. Charlie and Daniel is one couple, and the other four are in a relationship. 😉
They had a brilliant idea to hook up the last week of the year to bring in the New Year in an “adventurous” kind of way.

Listen… any and EVERYTHING was the vibe for this trip. The scene were SPICY and I found myself clutching my pearls many times. It jumped off immediately, and pulled you right in.
HOWVEVER… my attention span just isn’t there for a story this long.🤷🏾‍♀️ I like my smut short and sweet, and I found myself forcing myself through the book. Out of the 338 pages, I read 168 of them which is 18 pages more than I typically can take in.
Although I did not finish (DNF) this book, what I read was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥. They did not come to play. If you love a longer read you will definitely enjoy this one. I feel like it’s a five star read. It’s just more than my attention span can handle.

well, i had never read erotica before, like i've read spice and that kind of stuff, but erotica? never, and i'm so glad this got to be my first erotica book, it was hot, cute, and also made understand a lot about poligamy and polyamory relationships.

if you're going to read this book you have to be in the mood for a lot of spice i really liked it and enjoyed it.

btw, i'll stay with the "they do" ending i didn't even read the other one cause i wanted that one jahajaha.

thank you so much @greyspromo for the arc, really appreciate it. 💗

Wow! Why have I only heard about this book from ONE person?! This book deserves all the 5 stars and a lot more hype. I mean my gosh…It was such a DIRTY read 🫣🤭🥵🥵 probably one of the top 3 spiciest books I’ve read so far. I was not expecting any of it 🌶️🔥 so raw and delicious and forbidden. Definitely a favorite 👏 and I highly recommended a read.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my goodness! If you are looking for a large dose of holiday steam with some lovely relationship dynamics and vacation vibes then this book is for you! But be prepared that you may need to take breaks cause it's a little too hot to hold to hold for a continuous amount of time.

I read a lot of spice and this was a good 10 chili peppers for me. Usually there's everyday that gets in the way of spicy scenes but these busy adults were on vacation and left their home and work lives behind so they had all the time in the world and they used every second of it. Loved the gifts and the themes and the oh so many ideas that I will have to figure out how to do with only 2 lol jk.

This is a poly quad relationship who are having a yacht party and looking to add their good friends to their group. Loved all their personalities and individual marriages and relationships. How they all had boundaries and rules set in place to keep them all from getting hurt. It’s definitely a different way of life but loved this story. Now I need to go check out the I think 8 books that lead up to this one and how they all know each other. Because even in this book you can tell how deep their friendships and histories are with each other.

🇺🇸HOT DAMN this was so hot and sexy. It’s when I’m finishing the book that I’m learning that all couples present in this novel have their own series, so it explains why I was sometimes under the impression that I was missing informations but I enjoyed my reading nonetheless. It was everything you want to read when one promises you a smutfest between three couples on vacation on a luxury boat. It was fun that they all knew each other and are linked to each other either through work or friendship. Tensions are already burning between all of them and then, just explodes. I’m not gonna lie though, this was pure smut.

🇫🇷C’était tellement CHAUD et sexy, exactement ce à quoi on s’attend quand on nous promet un festial de spice entre trois couples en vacances sur un bateau de luxe. J’ai apprécié que les personnages se connaissent tous avant ces vacances, soit par une amitié solide, soit pas le travail. Ils ont tous vécu des choses ensembles et les tensions sont déjà à leur comble avant même que l’histoire commence pour ensuite exploser de la plus belle des façons.

Après, il ne faut pas chercher loin non plus, c’est du smut hein.

RATING: 4.5/5

Have you ever watched one of those movies where they round up a bunch of top actors and couple them up with different storylines? It all comes together at the end. It's kind of like the movie "Love Actually". "Holiday for Six" reminds me of the raunchiest version of "Love Actually" you can imagine.

Readers intending for a plot—don't worry about it. It's the holidays, you don't need one. Relax, kick back, and enjoy the smut because there is a ton of it.

There are six people and three couples—several POVs. See, it's kind of like the movie "Love Actually". There is so much going on from positions, dirty talk, schminks, and the whole relationship––NOT like "Love Actually."

Author Kelly Finely does something different that I've never seen before. She has a "Why Choose Ending," which I thought was pretty cool since I'm picky about how things end. "Holiday for Six" was a fun and smutty read.

I received a copy of this book for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.

[Anastacia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was wanting a really good smut read and whew… this book was HOT with a capital H! Like, I’m talking full-on sweating, heart-racing, can’t-put-it-down kind of hot. From the first chapter, I was hooked, and it did not let up. The chemistry? Off the charts. The tension? Thick enough to cut with a knife. It had me fanning myself more times than I care to admit. What I loved most was how it wasn’t just about one couple — I found myself equally curious (okay, invested) in all the different storylines. Every little glance, touch, and unspoken moment had me leaning forward like, “Wait, WHAT is going on here?!” It’s the kind of story that leaves you needing the next book immediately because you just have to know more about everyone else. Honestly, I feel like I need a cold shower… or maybe just a really good night in with my man after this one. Either way, I’m already clearing space on my TBR list for more of these stories. So, so good.

[Taylor Johnson · Rating 4 out of 5]

10% plot, 90% smut. Yesssss.

4.5/5 ⭐️ for me! A handful of the dirty talk felt veeeery cheesy, but honestly, I could overlook it if I was in any of the characters’ shoes. Chapters were veeery long which I’m not a huge fan of but I understand the reasoning with perspectives and relationships etc, so again, wasn’t a massive issue!

Anyway, smut. All smut. Just pure smut. I personally like a little more plot but this was one of those books that you know was intended to be all sex all day so fuck the plot. I definitely appreciated the characters much more than the storyline!

And HELLO a mini choose your own ending??? I flipped the page to the authors note and briefly thought “I’m sorry that’s the END excuse me???” Then got SO excited (ngl I only read the “they do” chapter, I skimmed “they don’t”).

If you need something dirty, here ya go!

[TheSassyNerdBlog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything that knows me, know I love my smut. I’m not embarrassed to admit it and holy fuck… this book was steamy hot. I did not know what to expect going in to this. When I read the blurb.. I knew it was going to be spicy, but I didn’t realise how spicy. I am not complaining though! I’m here for it!!

All three of the couples in this book were perfection and I’m not going to dive in deep but I will warn you, all these couples like to share partners.. if you get my drift… so STEAMY!

if you are looking for some smutty holiday fun to read this is the book to read. This was cover to cover smuttiness. You will be fanning yourself the whole way through the book. This may be my first book by this author, it will definitely not be my last. I’m going to go and read the rest of the authors back list now!!

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and when I tell you that I ran to purchase the All For You series, I actually sprinted! This book is a whole other level of SPICY and it may be one of the hottest books I’ve read so far! It was full of adventure, banter, laughs and all of the wicked things! I loved that all three couples had different dynamics but they all care about each other’s happiness and pleasure. I was actually surprised by the level of spice and trust there was between them but this book will definitely teach you lessons in the best way! And there are alternate endings!! I haven’t seen that done before and it’s so cool! I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from Kelly in the future!

Holy Sexy Time! Kelly Finley has earned the rights to her title "Queen of Spice." Holiday for Six is the sexiest, most taboo filled book that I have ever read. I was panting, sweating and giggling throughout this work of art while secretly wishing and craving a friend group with a yacht. With each gift unwrapped came a new fantasy that was fulfilled beyond their wildest dreams. There was a new appreciation of love that this friend group shared with one another and it was quite beautiful. Every need that was expressed was embraced with love and understanding with it always being fulfilled. The PG theme of this book would be "Sharing is caring". Please use your imagination for what the R rated or X rated would be. (devil horns)

Please add ALL of Kelly Finley's book to your TBR for 2026! Stay charged and hydrated if you know what I mean! ;) You are in for one hell of a ride!
