Description from the publisher:
Bailey Sullivan can't stand
Christmas, even though her family's business is a store specializing in the
perfect holiday. But now her hometown's chief supplier of rooftop Rudolphs and
treetop angels is in danger of going under--it's up to Bailey to save the shop.
She has it all planned: She'll arrive on December 1 and be gone by Christmas. Plus there's always spiked eggnog to ease the pain. But "Humbug" Bailey's not the only one home for the holidays. Finn Jacobson--legendary local bad boy-turned-Secret Service agent "and" Bailey's long-lost high-school sweetheart--is once again the boy next door. Only this time he's "all grown up," and the sparks are flying faster and hotter than ever!
Bailey believes in true love about as much as she believes in Santa Claus. But as the holiday draws closer, she's starting to think about one thing she'd like to find under her tree . . .

“God, bless us, every one!” (Tiny Tim, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Charles
Dickens)
“Every time a bell rings, an angel
gets his wings.” (Susie, IT’S A
WONDERFUL LIFE, Philip VanDoren
Stern)
“She believed in him, them,
magic. How else… would the girl next
door get the bad boy of her dreams?”
(Bailey, MUST LOVE MISTLETOE, Christie Ridgway)
MUST LOVE MISTLETOE is the first
book in the Holiday Duets series. Each
is to be a stand-alone story of one couple’s path to happiness.
It is no secret that I love second
chance romance stories, especially Christmas romances. Bailey and Finn are the epitome of a holiday
romance done right. They are reunited
when family obligations return them each to the small vacation-resort town
where they had first met. Her bad boy is
all grown up….. his GND (girl next door) is all grown up….and together, the
steam is as thick as the California fog at the beach.
This was the first book I have read
from Ms. Ridgway. I definitely want to
read more.
One final note: Hallmark Channel has had ten years to
discover this book. I think we need to
help them! This would make an amazing
addition to the Hallmark Channel’s Holiday movie selection. I would even include the Christmas facts – on
pretty cards like in silent movies.
