The Review 📚 Mistle Text

The Title/Cover Draw:

  • I have read and reviewed previous books by Melanie Summers as well as the first book in this series. Thanks to both the authors for sending me this book to share.

💜 What I liked:

  • The story of Holly, how she came to be the guardian to her super cute niece and how she was struggling to get by was fantastic. Also you expect Archie to be a certain way, and he kind of is, but his changes are surprising. While there are some familiar tropes in this book, there are some really nice surprises as well.

😱 What I didn’t like:

  • First, there was a lot going on in Archie’s head we don’t know and as such his decisions and statements seem abrupt. I would have liked to see more of his motivations. Also I absolutely would love to follow this couple in another book because they are so easy to root for! Not a dislike – just a statement. 

🚦 My face at the end: 🤗

💭 5 Reasons to Read:

  • 1. Christmas Shopping
  • 2. Precocious child
  • 3. Good Friends
  • 4. Community 
  • 5. Sacrifice

🕧 Mini-Summary:

  • Holly has been taking care of her niece after her sister was killed in an accident. While struggling to pay the bills, she stumbles on an opportunity to shop for a successful businessman.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

📘 Summary 📚 Mistle Text

Twas the text before Christmas…

Twenty-eight-year-old Holly Snow is the only mother her four-year-old niece remembers. Three years earlier, when her sister and brother-in-law were killed, Holly’s dream of becoming an international flight attendant was put on hold so she could be home for baby Faith. Holly is doing everything she can to keep the rent paid, including working as an online travel agent, filing medical claims, and cleaning apartments in her building. When her friend Maggie tells her that her boss needs someone to buy his Christmas gifts, she leaps at the opportunity.

Tall, dark and Scroogy, investment banker, Archibald Harrington is too busy to do his own Christmas shopping. When his assistant tells him she knows of a professional shopper, he happily checks another dreaded task off his holiday list. The last thing Archie is expecting is for his hired elf to text him insistently to find out more about the people on list. The last thing Holly expects is to develop feelings for grumpy man who’s stealing her Christmas spirit.

Will there be a Holiday miracle, or will Holly and Archie miss their chance at love? Find out in the fifth installment of the Accidentally in Love Series.
