I started reading this and realized that I have already read this book. It was an audiobook on Audible. Super cute story, I really loved it. Happy to see it in print! I’ll probably get a copy for my shelf.

Codi Hall has quickly became one of my favourite authors. After reading Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist I couldn’t wait to listen to the audible original sequel that takes you back to Mistletoe Idaho and reunites you with all your favourite folks. Just like Nick and Noel your are quickly swept up with uniquely quirky characters you can’t help but love, the Christmas warmth of the town, the blossoming love affair and the very steamy entanglement.

There’s Something About Merry is the second installment in Codi Hall’s Mistletoe Romance series. This started really strong and I was having a delightful time.

Merry’s family owns a Christmas tree farm and she moves back to their smalltown after a bad breakup. Clark just moved back with his 7-year-old son and becomes the new foreman at the farm. Merry and Clark knew one another in highschool and both crushed on each other at one point. In person, Clark is a bit standoff-ish to Merry but they end up connecting on a dating app not knowing they are talking to one another and hit it off.

I adored their conversations of really getting to know one another and was just smiling over their adorable message exchanges. It definitely gave all those “meeting for the first time” fluttery vibes and I adored it! Clark is a single dad and his son is very present in the story. I loved how Merry’s family just takes in Clark and his son and all the family moments were really sweet. I will say the last bit did start to lose my interest. Super cute and fun though and it is the follow up to Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist (Nick and Merry are siblings).

3.5 stars. Thank you to the publisher (SourceBooks) for an e-ARC via NetGalley. All thoughts in this review are my own. There’s Something About Merry has a paperback release date of September 6, 2022.
