Cover Description:
Sherbourne Mistletoe has been prized and sold at the annual Mistletoe Fair for over a hundred years; but could this year possibly be the last? With her father’s sudden death and debts mounting up it looks as though Freya’s only hope for the future is to sell her beloved family home. And to make matters worse, the only contenders to buy Appleyard Farm, are the people she’d least like to sell it to – the dreaded Henderson brothers who seem always to make life so difficult.
It’s magical stuff though, mistletoe, and the arrival of the mysterious Amos Fry brings a glimmer of hope that just maybe Freya can fall in love with Christmas all over again.
Read on for my thoughts on Merry Mistletoe. No true spoilers, promise.
Freya’s life has pretty much turned upside down. When her father passed away, she was faced with a mountain of bills that she’d known nothing about – and the very real possibility of having to sell her home. Two brothers vie for the property, neither one is a person she’d sell to if given a choice. When the past collides with the present everyone usually loses… unless they get a bit of a Christmas miracle to pave the way to a brighter future.
I enjoyed Merry Mistletoe very much. Christmas is not a happy season for Freya, gone is the enjoyment of this blessed holiday. When faced with a man from her past that might hold the key to her future happiness, Freya has to make choices. While this story is a novella there is a powerful tale packed in this short story. Along with some lovely mistletoe history and the feel of a Christmas village of any timeframe. The past will always be there for us, sometimes we find ways around it and learn how to love again.
If you are addicted to Christmas stories, Merry Mistletoe will be one you’ll want to add to your collection for this year. Poignant and hopeful, this is a story that will warm your heart and believe in Christmas magic once again.
*I received an e-ARC of Merry Mistletoe from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
