With Christmas riding in on Santa’s sleigh, and Kali’s home up for sale, there’s a chance Mistletoe will lose one of its darlings… Unless one of its princes can ride to the rescue.
Kali Stanfords has a family legacy wrapped up in taking care of the horses of Mistletoe, Montana. She loves the animals, the simplicity of the life, and the land. In essence, she’s home. Unfortunately, there’s a very … Unfortunately, there’s a very real possibility she’s in danger of losing all three when Flynne Wilson decides to put his hat in for the land up for sale.
No matter what happens, Kali can’t lose the land to him. Anyone but him.
Kali has to raise money for a down payment and she already has a tight budget. Add to that the fact that Flynne is rolling in billions and nothing looks good for her plans of keeping her home.
Except… well, except Kali seems to have a Secret Santa who keeps sponsoring the fundraising activities she’s doing. As the deadline gets nearer, Kali starts to fall for the benevolent stranger and she’s willing to walk away from everything to be with him.
Flynne and Kali have been at odds since they were little. Something about each one irritates the other like a fierce flame. As if they’re on an addicting bronco ride, they can’t walk away from the conflict, though, and that isn’t healthy.
He’s determined to do the right thing, but Flynne knows Kali will never let him help her. Kali can never know he’s the money behind her success. If she does, she’s just prideful enough to leave everything behind. Flynne wouldn’t care, except the one thing he wants just happens to be the one woman who wants nothing to do with him.
What if Kali’s Secret Santa is the one guy she can’t stand to be around?
What if Flynne ends up being the one man she can’t be without?

So much to say about this story. Bonnie R. Paulson reeled me in with the first chapter. Sweet, strong, slightly misguided characters tugged at my heart and had me rooting for them on the first page. The fourth book in an ongoing series, it has a quaint small-town and ranch setting. Adorable ranchers, strong sassy, opinionated heroines. Touching themes such as broken friendships and being threatened with losing your home. Friends and neighbors pulling together and rooting for you and your love. Definitely worth the read, as is the rest of the series. Pick it up today!
Lots of tension and angst between Kali and Flynne. Kali desperately wanted to buy the land and stables that was all the home she’d ever known. And Flynne desperately wanted to help her but didn’t know how since they were mortal enemies. Ms Paulson knows how to write a romance. I kept glued to the pages anxious to see how this romance played out. It was all I could do to keep from hooping and hollering when they finally acknowledged their feelings. But what a wild ride in between times watching all their interactions. Well done Ms Paulson!
This latest episode of the Mistletoe Matchmakers series was a wonderful addition to the ongoing saga of the Wilson and Dean families, and I thoroughly enjoyed “watching” the drama unfold. I felt such nostalgia as characters from previous books that I had grown so fond of were revisited also. The main characters, Flynne and Kali were such a likable couple, and it was fun seeing the transformation of their relationship from sworn enemies (at least Kali thought so) to tentative friends, to realizing that they were in love. I was totally engrossed in their story from start to finish, and I applaud Ms. Paulson for her skilled storytelling. I highly recommend “One More Glance” to sweet and clean romance lovers everywhere. I was given an advanced copy of this book from the author, and am giving my voluntary and honest opinion.
I really enjoy the story of Flynn and Kali’s romance. It was a hate to love romance, as Kali is trying to buy by her family home with fundraisers, a secret Santa is contributing extra money. Kali is determined to figure out who it is and to buy her home. Flynn is determined to win Kali; he helps her to deter buyers until she can raise the money. Can he win her heart? Can she buy her home?
The characters are well-developed throughout the series and the story is beautifully written. I look forward to the next book.
Oh My, I think this is my favorite of all of the books in this series by far!! Kali was so proud and so independent but she was also a practical woman and she knew deep down that as much as she didn’t want to accept help, she was going to have to, because it was just not going to be possible to purchase the property that had been owned by her parents prior to her father losing it in a card game a number of years before they had both died. This is where Flynne Wilson starts to play Secret Santa by making sure she gets an influx of cash without revealing that he is the one generously contributing to her fundraisers, etc. He has to remain secret because normally he and Kali are like oil and water whenever they have to interact with each other. He doesn’t know why he wants to make sure that she is able to get the property, especially since he does not know that the property had once been her home. That is something only a select few know about her and Flynne definitely doesn’t number as one of those people! What happens when the owner decides to list the property before Kali is anywhere close to having enough for a downpayment, much less enough to buy it outright is funny, sweet, and so very romantic! And Kali’s mistrust of Flynne almost causes her to miss out on the best thing to ever happen to her heart!! If you want a book that will make you laugh then cry and will tug at your heartstrings while it is all around heart-warming, then this book is it and it will leave you feeling good long after you have finished it!!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
She needs help, but will never agree to his help.
He has great idea to help her, with her not knowing he is her Secret Santa.
Problems arise, when she finds out the truth.
Will they forgive each other?
Amazing story with great characters. Loved it.
Great addition to this series! The story line has hope, fear and determination along with some challenges to overcome. The characters have unique connections throughout as well as strong family bonds and friendships. Enjoyed this story very much and look forward to more from this talented author.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book; all opinions expressed are my own.
Not really an enemy to lovers romance but it certainly seems that Kali and Flynne are protagonists of a sort. Kali needs money, a lot of money to purchase the ranch she considers her home and Flynne, well he decides to be a secret Santa to help Kali out. House inspections, a bachelor and bachelorette auction, and a whole lot of fun ensues as these two decide if their burgeoning friendship is worth risking for something a whole lot more interesting.
One More Glance in a wonderful romantic edition to the Mistletoe Matchmakers series by Bonnie Paulson. I love Flynne and Kali story. Kali is trying to buy her family’s horse ranch and Flynn is trying to help her anonymously until the ranch is for sale. I honestly enjoyed reading more about the Dean and Wilson families in how they support each other. I am really looking forward tho the next book in the Mistletoe Matchmakers series. I received this book as an arc for an honest review of it.
Another match in Mistletoe! The matchmakers themselves have so much trouble with their matches! Kali wants to own the ranch and stables that she considers her legacy, but they were gambled away by her father years before and now the absentee owner has decided to sell. Kali has to try to come up with a downpayment. Flynne, from the Wilson matchmaker family, doesn’t think he will ever find his match until he realizes the sparks that he and Kali have when they argue may be leading up to a closer relationship. To help Kali gain her legacy, Flynne begins to help her openly and in secret. But secrets always come out and that can lead to misunderstanding. I laughed until cried when prospective buyers showed up at the ranch—you will love what happens! I love the humor and close knit family interactions in this series! Don’t miss this delightful, clean new read from Bonnie Paulson!
This is a fun addition to the Mistletoe Matchmakers series with Flynne and Kali, characters who were introduced to readers in previous books. Flynne, a handsome and wealthy cowboy who works in the matchmaking business with his family, has no hopes of finding a match for himself–especially not with Kali, a down on her luck, plainspoken, hard-working, stubborn young woman who runs a stable on the neighboring piece of land. They have been at odds for quite a while but lately Flynne has been noticing her and trying to secretly help her as she tries to raise money to buy the property that the stable is on. This is a delightful enemies to love story that will keep you up at night turning the pages. It can be read as a stand alone but I suggest you begin at the start of the series since each book builds on the next. I enjoyed it and recommend it to you! I was entrusted with a copy of this book by the author and this is my voluntary and honest review.
ONE BEAUTIFUL DELIGHT
Sensational! Bonnie brings it with this spectacular spin, nailing every feels, spills and incredible frills, throwing out the stubborn contention, vexing encounters, spreading the humor and fun-filled highlights, wrapping this baby up sleek shiny and tight. Quirky mishaps and surprising happenstance, showcase the trilling trials and pulse racing tribulations, stumbling through the funky twists and crazy turns, putting our characters through their paces. Shenanigans, escapades and mayhem throws this baby into the eye of the storm only to shake it out and do it again, rolling with the drama, turmoil, intrigue, thrills and intense situations, along with a boatload of moxie and sass, you have one intoxicating experience. Lines blur and boundaries crossed, limitations are stretched and organized, kicking this baby into overdrive, slamming it into a frenzy with incredible results, putting our characters through their paces, testing them in ways they could have never imagined. The attraction and chemistry sizzles from the pages and draw you in so deeply until you feel the heat and electricity thrumming through your veins. The characters are complex and authentic with depth and traits that blend and flow, transforming into genuinely relatable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and depictions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Amazing job Bonnie, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
I’m not sure I could have withstood Kali Standfords’ life events. My heart broke for her in the very first pages of this book but know that she made me smile very soon after that. I won’t go into the story but she has a Secret Santa trying to help her with her one wish for her future. And Flynne Wilson, someone she considers her nemesis, is in town and the two of them are like oil and water…or are they?
To me, Flynne is the most misunderstood hero! Of course, when he tries to do the right thing, it blows up in his face. But where would the fun be if life was easy riding? Seriously, I really liked Flynne and appreciated how he wanted to make things better for Kali but always tripped himself up by trying to be surreptitious about it.
And then there’s the auction…OMG, I laughed til I cried! Lots of ups and downs in Kali’s and Flynne’s story and I enjoyed every page of it.
Oh! These books and their teasers for the future ones! I wish the whole series was out so I could binge them! I loved watching these two mains probe their hearts and their discoveries. Such a convoluted and endearing mess was made and I couldn’t put this book down!
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
