Love Under the Mistletoe

I couldn’t put Love Under the Mistletoe down. It’s was a sweet and heartwarming tale. The perfect holiday read. I loved how much Holly cared about her family and friends. The fun and flirty nature between Holly and Nathan put a smile on my face. They really brought out the best in each other. I’m happy that they found their happy ending.
Can’t wait for the next book.

Holly Jones graded her 2nd grade students’ class papers while she and her friend, Aliyah Jameson, were driving the snowy roads to the fancy Blue Aspen Ski Resort. The purpose of this trip, aside from a mini-vacation, was for Holly to receive the Educator’s Award for being the “best teacher in the nation”, a special honor since her students had nominated her! Aside from the award, the party held there would raise funds for scholarships. As they drove, Aliyah asked Holly if her dad was still closing his business. The biggest employer in town, Elements Computer Technologies, had been bought out by a large tech firm and was relocating to San Francisco. This would be devastating for many of the businesses in town as people would be moving and their customer base would drastically drop. It was not a happy event for the town.

As they rounded a curve, the lodge before them made both women gasp in awe! It was beautiful and the magic of Christmas came alive. As they checked in, they were given their tickets to the award ceremony and the information about the hot springs available to them. Holly turned quickly and ran into a handsome man. This might be a very good trip indeed! Merryweather agreed with that assessment – magical love was popping up all over and Holly and Nathan would be good for each other.

Nathan Reed, CEO of Paradigm Technologies and a billionaire, will be presenting the teacher award at the ceremony. His current mindset that “money was everything” had taken him from the joy of being creative and innovative and caring about the success of the companies to merely managing the technology they gathered with a sole focus on profits. He meets the small town school teacher, Holly, who has a very different vision of life, seeing money as a means to generously share with others to make their lives better. They spend time together and the laughter they share brings him comfort. Drawn to each other – and with a little touch of magic – can Nathan find Christmas and love again in his heart? Or will Holly end things when she finds out that Nathan is the man uprooting the lives of everyone she loves.

This book was such a delightful read, perfectly paced and enjoyable. I love the interspersed humor since it clearly shows the reader the character’s personality through the teasing banter among friends. The story line is reminiscent of Scrooge having his life turned around as he questions his values and is reminded of what really matters. I think the reader will fall in love with this story, an easy and memorable reading experience.

Just a fabulous story of finding your soulmate, the one person that makes things click, you don’t have to worry about what to talk about next and there is no silence between, jus comfortable pauses. My heart melted I just didn’t want to put down.

I never would have considered mixing Cinderella with A Christmas Carol, but that’s exactly what this felt like. The story is witty and charming, a bit silly and oh so sweet. Holly’s an award-winning teacher whose students are her life. Nathan’s a computer genius who’s allowed his position as CEO to take over his life. A chance encounter at a ski resort sets some special holiday magic in motion. Are these two the answers to each other’s holiday dreams? With a little nudge they just might be. I loved watching this pair together. They brought out the best in one another. It was almost painful for me when things weren’t going right in their relationship. I was sad to close the cover on this book when it was over. I was enjoying it that much.

This story is very simply one of the better ones I have read that happen around Christmas time. What beautiful story and actually a really great romance of the best kind. The story line is there, the characters are beautiful, both the main characters as well as all those on the sides, but probably one of the ones i liked the most was the old owner who was selling his company. Why I liked that guy, well, he has a clear view of life, don´t vaste it on only money, people matter and I love that. Of course the money will not keep you happy and surrounded by nice family when older… This story is actually on the longer spectrum but it could have been longer and I would have kept reading just as much a happy camper as I was while reading this one.

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

A lovely book containing diverse holiday love stories. My absolute favorite story is LAST HOPE by author, Sandra Carmel. This is a touching story about a man facing his mortality by turning his back on the woman he loves. How he comes to terms with his life differently is touching and a must read.
Overall, I’m recommending this book for your reading pleasure and enjoyment.
