MY REVIEW:

Here in west Tennessee, our temperatures have just now finally dropped below the nineties so it is hard to imagine that Christmas is right around the corner. The Christmas books have started showing up in my mailbox for review so it must be true. Love Finds You Under the Mistletoe is the first one on my list and its tour date is today so although I prefer to start reading Christmas stories Thanksgiving weekend, this year I’m getting an early start.

Love Finds You Under the Mistletoe is the perfect book for when you are in the mood for something light and entertaining. With two separate stories, it is ideal for those times in the midst of all the holiday hustle and bustle when you can find some time to put your feet up and relax for awhile. Each of the stories has a well paced plot, interesting characters, and just the right touch of romance.
