✨ARC Review✨. Thank you NetGalley. All the opinions expressed are my own.

Reilly was visiting Mistletoe Lake but sadly she had nowhere to stay, Emma, Ray's daughter, suggested that Reilly stayed on their boat, and things evolved from there. I found this book to very cute, cozy, and excited me for the Christmas season. Highly recommend adding it to your holiday TBR.

A sweet, quick, easy to read, Christmas romance, with just the right amount of festive fun to be engaging to the reader.

Finished in under an hour.

BLURB:
Every Christmas, ​Reilly Shore​ picks a random spot on the map and takes a trip. This year, that destination is the cottage country town of ​Mistletoe Lake When she arrives, she discovers the town's lone b&b is chock-full due to Mistletoe Lake's annual ​Christmas Harbor Festival- ​when all the boats docked along the water are decorated with festive lights.

When twelve year-old Emma ​invites Reilly to stay on her dad's boat, she learns that Emma's dad, Ray Mitchell, is the only boat owner on Mistletoe Lake who isn't participating in the harbor festival. In fact, he's in the process of trying to sell the boat. As the possibility of the sale saddens Emma, she enlists Reilly's help to convince Ray to enter into the festival so they can have one last perfect Christmas on the picturesque lake.

​Reilly doesn't know she's about to meet someone who is as romantically adrift as she is. And she certainly doesn't expect to fall in love...or to unintentionally betray him. Christmas is a time for forgiveness, but Ray doesn't seem to be in a forgiving mood.

Thank you to @netgalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and Vinspire Publishing for this ARC of ‘Christmas on Mistletoe Lake’ by Robin Seamus Dunne.

I hadn’t heard of this author before reading this so really didn’t know what to expect. But this was a fun, easy and sweet read. I finished it in one sitting and thought the characters were very likeable. I’d definitely like to read more from this author!

What a sweet holiday story! It reads like a Hallmark Christmas movie, with good characters and a cute plot.

I started this book and just didn’t quite find myself wanting to keep reading. It’s not that the book is written in a bad way, I just found that the writing style to not be my favorite. Overall, a cute story, but took me a little while to get through the reading.

A cracking emotional opening prologue that leads us to Reilly alone in a tiny town with no hotel room spare. The romance between Reilly and Ray is cute and gentle. The mechanical abilities of Reilly and her working on the houseboat engine is great as is the suspense over selling the boat. I was a little disappointed by the oh so neat unraveling of the issues at the end, although I did get my happy ever after.
