The author has a knack of writing characters that are likable and decent. A nice entertaining read that makes you want to read more about the rest of the characters in this town.
Mistletoe Magic by Stacey Joy Netzel is a fantastic contemporary holiday book. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Netzel has delivered a book that is well-written and filled it with warm, lovable characters. Major Mark Riley leaves the military and arrives in his hometown just in time for the Christmas parade. Janelle goes from elf to Snow Queen for the parade. Mark and Janelle’s story is full of drama, humor, spice and menagerie of displaced critters. I enjoyed reading Mistletoe Magic and look forward to reading more from Stacey Joy Netzel in the future.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book that I won. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Redeeming
He comes home after being in the service for 15 years. She was running an animal rescue but is loosing it to the new owner who wants to turn the property into a resort. What do you. But falling for each other.
This was a cute read. I thought the main characters had great chemistry. I loved the teasing and relationship between the brothers.
Like the first book in the Romancing Wisconsin series, Mistletoe Mischief, Mistletoe Magic is cute, quick, and typical for a holiday romance. There are really no surprises. You get to connect to Eric and Marissa again and find out what’s been going on in their lives for the last year. Hint: it’s quite a bit! And, you get a fresh installment on how Mark assimilates into the Pulaski, WI community.
This is a sweet story. A little unbelievable that they fell in love in less than two weeks especially when they spent most of it not talking. The characters are really enjoyable and I liked that Mark realised that he could have his retreat and help the rescue animals at the same time. Christmas miracles do exist.
Absolutely wonderful, sweet as candy and full of love. All of the Riley clan are endearing in this collection of the Romancing Wisconsin series books 1 through 3.5. Beautifully written.
This was a good romance to read at Christmas time. Mark Riley and Janelle Walsh met when they were last minute fill-ins for the Court Jester and Snow Queen parts in the Christmas Parade. Their attraction for each other was a problem when they realized Mark was the new owner of the property Jannelle used for rescue animals and was evicting her on Christmas Eve.
This Christmas story definitely helped put me in the holiday spirit with the mistletoe, parade and Santa Butch. Janelle is a loving woman who cares deeply for the animals in the rescue center and everyone else in her life. She’s a smart, hard working woman and very far from the old lady Mark thought ran the animal rescue. After leaving the military, Mark bought property in the small town of Pulaska planning on building a resort to bring tourists and their money to the area. It’s a good idea but doesn’t work with Jannelle’s plans. He’s a good guy who is kind and charming most of the time. But sometimes he’s short tempered and not so easy to be with.
Are Jannelle and Mark going to be able to build on their feelings? Maybe Santa Butch and some mistletoe will help them resolve their property problems and find romance.
