I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

I enjoyed this book overall, but not as much as the first two.
I liked how the story opened up with Bee and Nolan's wedding, as they're the couple that started this whole story.
Sunny and Isaac were your typical sunshine/grumpy couple with no inspiration for the future and trauma in their pasts they need to overcome to become happy.
I love the setting. Christmas Notch has become such a fun place to learn about over the course of multiple storylines.
The demonic cat was, naturally, one of my favorite characters.
I've read all 3 main books and the 2 novellas of this series. Part of me wants the series to continue because of the entire cast of characters and the location, but another part of me says to stop poking the same bear.

3.5 rounded down as I didn't feel it was comparable to my 4 star reads.

I have read all the rest of the books in the series, and I think the first one was my favorite. I did love the grumpy vs sunshine of this book. Isaac Kelly was such a grumpy loner, and I loved reading about him coming out of his darkness. Sunny was so cheerful and cracking me up. I found myself crying and laughing while reading.

This was a super cute holiday romance. It was sweet and spicy. I loved the characters and really enjoyed the story line.

Amazing end to this series! I was so happy for our dad boy to get his happily ever after. It was also perfect how the authors gave us insight into how each of the other characters featured in past storylines are faring. The mystery of the postman kept me interested throughout. It gave the romance more depth. I was so sad to leave the snowy town of Christmas Notch!

If Hallmark ever tried to do "after dark," "A Jingle Bell Mingle" would be it. Sunny Palmer, adult film actress-turned-aspiring screenwriter, lands the gig of a lifetime—writing a feel-good Christmas movie for the family-friendly Hope Channel. The problem? She’s fresh out of holiday cheer. Enter Isaac Kelly, a former boy band heartthrob-turned-hermit, who’s holed up in his snow-covered mansion, struggling to write a Christmas album that doesn’t sound like emotional roadkill. One awkward meet-cute (in the form of a second one-night stand), a botched hotel stay, and a slightly unhinged cat later, Sunny ends up moving into Isaac’s place. Creativity starts sparking, but so does the kind of tension that could melt an entire snowbank.

Murphy and Simone don’t just turn up the heat—they blast the thermostat straight into red alert territory. This book is hot. But beyond the fire, there’s real heart. Both Sunny and Isaac are dealing with loss and creative burnout, and the way they slowly push each other back into the light feels earned and satisfying. Their banter is top-tier, the small-town antics are charming without being saccharine, and the spice? Let’s just say this is not the kind of Christmas romance you pass around at family gatherings. The pacing stumbles a bit near the end—wrapping things up a little too quickly—but the swoon factor keeps things merry and bright.

I’m giving "A Jingle Bell Mingle" a festive four out of five stars—equal parts naughty and nice, with a sprinkle of chaos courtesy of the world’s most diabolical cat. If you’re in the mood for a holiday romance that delivers steam, snark, and small-town holiday magic, this is one sleigh ride you won’t want to miss.

This was such a cute Christmas book but super smutty too! I love Sierra Simone and even though this was my first Julie Murphy book i really liked their writing style together!

The final chapter in the Christmas Notch series.

A Jingle Bell Mingle is about former band member Issac and Part-time adult film actress/one-time adult film director/makeup artist Sunny. Sunny has returned to the source of her inspiration in Christmas Notch, Vermont, to write a screenplay. Issac who lives in Christmas Notch’s town’s historic mansion (which was in A Merry Little Meet Cute), is trying to be inspired by writing new music. He is having trouble, after a years after his wife’s passing.

After their best friends’ wedding they get pushed together in the mansion and help each other out with their struggles of writing.

It’s a perfect ending to the series and as just as spicy. 🌶️

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read A Jingle Bell Mingle.

Omg absolutely loved this book. It’s great to see the story of the old timers. If there are more Incannot wait

I love the entire Christmas Notch series and this book was just as tasty a read as the others. The banter, as always, is delightful and had me laughing out loud. Most excellent! 3.75⭐️ rounded up. Thank you NetGalley for this one.

Sunny and Isaac finally! I really have loved all the Christmas Notch titles and this one is no exception. Isaac has always been the tragic one, so it was great to finally see him getting a happy ending. Such a fun and festive read. I can't wait to see what Julie and Sierra write next.

Love the filthy romcoms these two are able to write! They definitely gave our sad boy Isaac a rerun for his money giving him Sunny as a partner. Try as he might it was inevitable he’ be pulled out of his dark cloud by the sunshine he kept running from.. I loved this series and this was the perfect way for it to end.

Love love loved this!! Not usually my trope cause dead husbands/wives are a no go for me but I read and loved this! I think that's gonna be my review

I did not enjoy this book at all. I didn't connect with either of the characters, it completely felt flat to me. I was very hopeful but didn't at all land for me.

It’s always a pleasure to read books from this duo! I adore them! I loved this book! It’s probably my favorite in the series! It was the perfect wrap up to the series! I loved the characters and really everything about it!!! It’s a perfect holiday read! Highly recommend this cutie!

I love this series and quaint town of Christmas Notch. This book is Issac and Sunny’s story. They both are trying to move on from the past and make their dream careers come true. I loved how their relationship played out. They helped each other overcome the past and be the best they can be. And they were hot together! These two talented authors are a great writing team. The words just flow from the pages and immerse you in the world of Christmas Notch. This is a really entertaining book. The whole series is fantastic!

I DNF"d this book so I don't necessarily have helpful feedback. I linked it in general, but I never got hooked in by the plot and had other books I wanted to prioritize more. I just don't think this was the book for me, but I have friends who loved it.

Anyone who has read this (not-so) series knows that these books are just so good. I love how they all intertwine and AHHH, it’s just so good.

The third in the Christmas Notch series might be one of my favorites. I think I definitely prefer it over the second, at least. I loved seeing the interactions between Sunny and the reclusive, sad (but still hilarious) Isaac. As in the first two books, the side characters stole the show, especially the addition of his true crime/cat advice chat thread. I hope these two keep writing books together.

Adorable holiday read. Lots of spice. I preferred the other books in this series but still enjoyed reading this one. Overall it was a fun holiday read.
