REVIEW: MEDDLING WITH MISTLETOE by Liz Johnson!

 Hey everyone! I was given the opportunity to read Meddling With Mistletoe by Liz Johnson, an upcoming Christmas romance from Revell! Check out the info below. 

BLURB:

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.

MY REVIEW: 

I have a friend or fifteen who would probably love this book, because it’s a Christmassy matchmaker novel. (You know who you are.)

But really, this book is absolutely adorable. I’m not normally a huge fan of Hallmarky type books, but even though this book has all the necessary ingredients - a young woman finding her way through career changes, a grumpy young man home for the holidays, forced to work together, a meddling matchmaker aunt - it's not quite Hallmark, which is actually a good thing. …but there's a twist. Whitney has to help matchmake Daniel with someone else. If you love lighthearted stories with heartfelt themes, where the main characters fix themselves instead of expecting the other person to heal them-this is the story for you. It has Christian elements, but more of an undertone. It’s a great little book and I had a blast reading it. It’s sweet, has that small-town feel, you’ll want to eat all the bakery sweets in the world while you’re reading, and the characters are lovable for the most part. Definitely add this one to your TBR for the holidays!

I might be falling down the rabbit hole of loving fluffy Christmas stories. Ugh.
