A Mistletoe Mismatch by Sally Britton, Book Review

 

Book Summary: 

 If Jessica and Ellis can put the past behind them to work together, it will be a Christmas miracle. Childhood enemies fight to end one relationship while trying not to fall into one of their own. Christmas comes but once a year -- a relief for Jessica Nettle, because that means she need only see the horrid Mr. Webb when he visits his cousin. Jessica has been at war with Mr. Webb for as long as she can remember. What started as children playing pranks has grown to a competitive feud. This year promises to be the worst of all, especially when Jessica learns that her sister is falling in love with that cousin. A match between the two of them would be a disaster. Ellis Webb spends every Christmas in the country with his cousin. The holiday is one of the highlights of his year, despite the prickly Miss Nettle's attempts to ruin it for him. This year, Ellis's cousin has a mind to marry, and he's looking with increasing interest at Miss Nettle's younger sister. Such a marriage, with such a family, will surely end in disappointment and broken hearts. When Miss Nettle proposes to Ellis that they join forces to keep the ill-fated couple apart, he swallows his distaste and agrees to her plan. Amid the merriment of celebrations, Jessica and Ellis scheme to keep two hearts apart. But as the days pass and the magic of season works upon Jessica, she realizes she may have lost her clever game -- and her heart -- to her childhood enemy.

 

My Review:

This story was so fun and full of so many misunderstandings! Jessica had it out for Ellis from the beginning. She was constantly throwing barbs at him and I wondered about these two and their precarious relationship. Could sworn enemies ever become more? And then there was the meddling of Aunt Tempie! She was a dear and I think everyone needs an Aunt Tempie in their life. I loved the friendship between Jessica and Florence. The two sisters were so different yet they had a beautiful bond. To read a story where their are two relationships going on at the same time was quite enjoyable and it made for great reading. This was a wonderful and fun regency Christmas story! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
