That Time We Kissed Under the Mistletoe by Julie Christianson: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

My holly jolly Christmas just went up in smoke. Literally …

Playing nursemaid to Bradford “Three” Fuller is the last thing I need for Christmas.

But for the next few days, I’m stuck in charge of my ex’s sparkling eyes, his ridiculous abs, and his (mostly) accidental kisses.

I don’t have a choice.

You see, Three’s only hurt because of me. And not like he hurt me a decade ago. Like … I literally concussed the man with a fire extinguisher.

Still, a make-or-break mission for my parents is what brought me back to the small town where he crushed my tender heart in the first place.

And if I screw up, I risk my mother’s approval plus the job at my father’s law firm I’ve worked for my entire life.

So I sure hope Santa stuffs my stocking full of self-control. And a defibrillator.

Because my heart just may be broken by this second chance with Three …

That Time we Kissed Under the Mistletoe is a full-length, closed-door romantic comedy in the Abieville Love Stories series, but the book can be enjoyed as a standalone.

As with all Julie Christianson’s romcoms, you’ll find plenty of sizzling chemistry, but no content beyond kisses.

Book Review

That Time We Kissed Under the Mistletoe is the fourth book in the Abieville Love Stories series. While those who have read the previous books will recognize some familiar characters, I do think this could be enjoyed just fine as a standalone as well. 

This one had me laughing out loud right from the very start--- I mean accidentally giving your ex a concussion with a fire extinguisher!? What a way to start the story! And it only got better from there. I loved Three and Sara together. Though they had a rough history, I loved seeing how much they genuinely wanted what was best for each other... even back then. It was just such a sweet relationship, and I loved seeing them get their second chance. I also loved the occasional glimpses we get of their past through her journal entries, just making me root for them all that much more. This truly was the perfect blend of holiday cheer and tradition, laugh out loud humor and the perfect swoon worthy moments, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more! This is definitely one you'll want to add to your holiday TBR... but would honestly be great ANY time of year too!  

That Time We Kissed Under the Mistletoe is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
