The Book

Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.

The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.

Cuddle up for some warm holiday cheer as New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson explores the unforeseen consequences of meddling with mistletoe when love is on the line.

Book Review

A Christmas romance with a cozy B&B setting, lots of holiday baking, mistletoe and meddling? Count me in! Meddling with Mistletoe is such a sweet holiday read. I always love a story with a meddling family member (aren't they just the best?), so admittedly the title drew me in... but this one was a fun twist with the FMC being brought in to aid in the matchmaking of the MMC... with someone else. (Don't worry, there is definitely no love triangle here though.) I think that made it all that more interesting and I just adored it. All the characters were well written, drawing me right into their stories. This had just the right amount of holiday cheer and felt very much like a Hallmark Christmas movie. If you're looking for a fun holiday romance, you'll definitely want to add this one to your TBR.
