I don't read Christmas books... but it is September... so surely that is ok right?! LOL
Or at least that was what I told myself when I read the blurb for this book and felt the urge to read it.
It was everything I hoped it would be: sweet, charming, captivating 💓
I dare you not to have a smile from ear to ear at the end!
Kissing-under-the-mistletoe rule #1: never kiss your ex-fiancée.
Oops.
Ava Versteeg’s plans for the Christmas break include: 1. Drive to Lake Tahoe, 2. Learn to ski, 3. Enjoy hot, earth-shattering sex (and end her sex drought!) and 4. Meet her Forever Love under the mistletoe. Right—the last one was her friend’s prediction, but you never know. What she doesn’t count on is a flat tire, a major blizzard, and for her ex-fiancé, the man who broke her heart ten years ago, to come to her rescue. Oh, damn.
While driving back to San Francisco, former Navy SEAL Liam Quade discovers Ava stuck on the side of the road. She’s the woman he was forced to walk away from ten years ago. And now, she’s the woman who would rather be coated with honey and fed to a hungry bear than to be within ten feet of him. Ouch.
Liam drives Ava to a nearby inn to wait out the storm…and ends up kissing her under the mistletoe. Christmas magic is in the air and Liam realizes he never stopped loving her. But as secrets from ten years ago start to unravel, Liam has to prove to Ava that he’s worth taking a second chance on. He has to prove to Ava that he’s her forever.

Oh Liam... lets not dawdle and go straight to single most captivating thing in the whole book: Liam! Lately I have been enjoying the sweet perfect male characters a little too much, Liam was wonderful to read. The guy made his mistakes in the past, but boy is he perfect now! And our feisty but also very sweet Ava definitely agrees :)
Their story is rather straightforward: they had their chance in the past, even got engaged. But they let Ava's family get in the way of their happiness and things ended. Ava moved on with her life eventually marrying and divorcing a cheating idiot and Liam focused on his career never having a serious relationship again. When their paths cross years later it is obvious they still have feelings for each other and that they have enough chemistry to burn down a village! -seriously-
And that is pretty much it. There wasn't a super complicated plot with tons of drama going on. Yah, they had a few obstacles to get through but nothing earth chattering. And that is why I loved the book so much. It was the perfect book to read by the fireplace for a couple of hours and forget that the rest of the world exists (or in my case at the hairdresser while my kiddo got her hair cut done).
As much as I love my dark romances and a fair share of drama sometimes we romance lovers just need a feel good romance and Decidedly with Mistletoe was exactly that!
As I said in the beginning: I dare you not have a smile from ear to ear at the end!
Release date: Sep 20
