I got to kick off the holiday season early with this review of an upcoming book! Christmas in July and all that fun. I like reading holiday stories when it is 105 outside for some reason. It gives me hope for the cooler seasons to come!
This new book is an anthology of 3 short stories by 3 awesome historical romance writers. A great go-to read when you want something short and sweet. Read below for my full review.
Kissing Under the Mistletoe by Suzanne Enoch; Amelia Grey; Anna Bennett
Publisher : St. Martin’s Paperbacks (September 28, 2021)
ISBN-13 : 978-1250797445
OVERVIEW:
From the Scottish highlands, to the bustle and tussle of London, to a hotel on the outskirts of town, three unforgettable authors bring the joy of Christmas romance in Kissing Under the Mistletoe.
Great Scot! by Suzanne Enoch
Miss Jane Bansil knows she will never have a fairy-tale moment. Well past the marriageable age, she’s taken a position as a companion and is now stuck in Scotland for Christmas, alone even in the middle of the boisterous MacTaggert family. But when Brennan Andrews, an architect and cousin to the MacTaggerts, arrives to draw up plans for a new family home, Jane must decide if she will take a chance at a happily-ever-after, or settle into her small, safe life for good.
Christmas at Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey
Miss Isabelle Reed has no plans to ever fall in love. She has a perfectly acceptable life with her mother at the Dewberry Hollow Inn, thank you very much. But when Gate, the Duke of Notsgrave’s grandson, appears at Dewberry Hollow searching for a carving on a tree, Isabelle cannot help but get involved. But Gate’s charm and their instant attraction makes Isabelle question if she’s willing to take her chance at love once again.
My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett
Miss Eva Tiding is determined to cheer her widowed father with the perfect Christmas gift. Even if it means breaking into the home of the rakish Earl of Frostbough who swindled Papa out of his pocket watch. But when the earl, Jack Hardwick, catches her in the act, they strike a deal: she’ll pose as his fiancée in exchange for the watch. Falling in love is not part of the plan―but with a little Christmas magic, anything is possible…
Kissing Under the Mistletoe by Suzanne Enoch; Amelia Grey; Anna Bennett Review
This book is the perfect choice when you don’t have time for one full book. This is three novella-length short stories wrapped up in one.
I was so excited to open the book to find a sequel of sorts by Enoch. She is the author of the Scot stories I reviewed last year and just loved! These books were about brothers and their quest to find the wives they didn’t know they were looking for. LOL.
In the story Great Scot, Enoch features one of the characters from this series and it is an awesome addition to this new release. We get glimpses of the other characters and get to know Jane better. Quick and easy insta-love feel that leaves you smiling!
Amelia Grey brings us a delightful story of a lady who makes an impression to some guests in a rather alarming manner that makes a big impression! A unique story with a happy ending.
A first-time story for me by Bennett who delivers a story with an often used trope but she brings it with great storytelling skills. Things are not always as they seem in this novella.
These authors bring together three stories that will get you in the holiday love mood and ready for the season of feel-good moments. With insta-love abounding, these short stories are just what we need for a relaxing release and our own happily ever after.
Kissing Under the Mistletoe has so much love packed in here! It is a fun and fabulous choice for your holiday booklist!
