My Review
Meddling With Mistletoe is the story of Whitney Garrett, who is baking homemade pies to fund her culinary school tuition. When her oven breaks, she works out a deal with the owners of the local bed and breakfast to bake pies there in exchange for babysitting and cooking breakfasts daily. While working at the inn she meets a guest named Daniel, who is in town to visit his aunt -- who is an eccentric antique shop owner determined to make a match between Daniel and Ruby, the woman buying his aunt's antique store. Whitney is convinced, though, that Daniel and Ruby are not an ideal match . . . and she has an idea of a better match for him.
I wanted to read this novel because it sounded like a Hallmark movie in book form. It is! It is a delightful Christmas story, with lots of holiday atmosphere.
I liked Whitney as a protagonist and admire her determination to pursue her dream. I also like Daniel and I thought from early on that they would be an interesting match. Their story is very heartwarming with some light faith references.
I recommend Meddling for Mistletoe for readers who enjoy Christmas reads, heartwarming love stories, and cozy settings.
Book Synopsis
The recipe for romance is simple: sweets, treats, and mistletoe meets
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 not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.
