Meddling with Mistletoe: A Red Door Inn Christmas Romance

By: Johnson, Liz

Book Overview

The recipe for romance is simple: sweets, treats, and mistletoe meets

Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.

The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.

Cuddle up for some warm holiday cheer as New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson explores the unforeseen consequences of meddling with mistletoe when love is on the line.

fun Christmas story

"He was going because even Eeyore spent time with his friends." It's always a pleasure to return to Prince Edward Island, especially to the Red Door Inn. I enjoyed getting to know Daniel and Whitney. Daniel and his straight-laced, grumpy ways were completely opposite to Whitney and her melodious, often flighty ways but they complemented each other well. He believed in Whitney, gave her things to seriously think about, and supported her in her endeavors. She, in turn, brought joy, laughter, and belief in human connection to Daniel's gray world. Their friendship that turned quickly into romance was sweet and tender. I didn't love Aretha's meddling, the misconstrued love triangle, nor the awkwardness of that premise but all of this provided angst and romantic tension to propel the story forward. I did love catching up with the characters from the Prince Edward Island Dreams series and seeing how their families have expanded. I also loved how the author circled back to the true meaning of Christmas with a Christmas pageant at a small church. It's a fun Christmas story set in Prince Edward Island. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Revell via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
