Settle in with your favorite cup of cocoa and a warm blanket for this swoony holiday romance that includes a peppermint festival and characters that are sure to warm your heart this Christmas.

Deals require negotiations, but for Cole Stevens, this could be the riskiest deal of his lifetime. Holland Jenkins has been disappointed so often that she questions her purpose and her talent as an artist. The cabins she helps lease for her family is the one constant in her life. Birch Falls' small town peppermint festival is quickly approaching. As Holland is preparing ornaments for her booth, she's in search of inspiration, even if she won't admit it.

Cole has a deal to close, and after a little unexpected change in route, he decides to rent a cabin at Mistletoe Ridge. Cole finds himself falling for the charming small town, and also falling for Holland, which wasn't part of the plan.

Holland doesn't know about her grandparents' plans to sell Mistletoe Ridge, and although they think they are doing it for the right reasons, keeping it a secret has all involved reconsidering.

Perhaps, a dash of ginger, a sprinkle of sugar, and a little magic can make their Christmas wishes come true.

Includes a recipe for Chicken Parmesan

The title of Christmas at Mistletoe Ridge is what captured my attention first. The blurb had me wanting to read the story. Immediately, Christmas at Mistletoe Ridge puts off a Hallmark-like feel that makes you want to get cozy and relax. The story is sweet, at times a little too sweet for my tastes. While I enjoyed the story, I wasn’t a fan of multiple characters having romances at the same time. I had a hard time keeping them all straight in my head which lowered my reading enjoyment.

With all of that said, I think Christmas at Mistletoe Ridge should be on any lover of sweet romances Christmas reading list.
