Under the Mistletoe (5-Book Collection)
by Ali Hazelwood, Tessa Bailey, Olivia Dade, Alexandria Bellefleur, Alexis Daria
The Under the Mistletoe collection brings together five festive novellas by renowned romance authors, each offering a unique holiday love story.
Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood
This story reunites childhood friends Jamie and Marc during a snowstorm, blending past grievances with present attractions. Hazelwood crafts a cozy atmosphere, though the novella's brevity leaves some character development wanting.
Merry Ever After by Tessa Bailey
Single mother Evie and farmer Luke's tale is heartwarming, showcasing Bailey's knack for chemistry between leads. The narrative is sweet, albeit with a predictable plotline.
All by My Elf by Olivia Dade
Dade infuses humor into the story of professors Nina and William, stranded together during a blizzard. Their playful banter is delightful, but the story's pacing feels rushed.
Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur
A kitchen mishap leads Everleigh to meet firefighter Griffin. Bellefleur delivers a charming meet-cute, though the swift progression of their relationship may seem hurried.
Only Santas in the Building by Alexis Daria
Evie, a comic book illustrator, finds unexpected romance at a holiday party. Daria's engaging writing captures the festive spirit, despite a somewhat conventional storyline.
Collectively, this anthology offers light, enjoyable reads perfect for the holiday season, even if some stories could benefit from more depth.
