Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me.
I did not connect with the characters. Liv, the main character, was self centered and seemed to play the victim without taking ownership for her own actions. Fraser was grouchy and outside of being sweet with the kiss, Liv didn’t seem to have anything positive to say. The rest of the cast was quirky, but came across as too over the top for me to enjoy.
Additionally, I found the story slow moving. It felt like Effie and Robbie were the love story vs Liv and Fraser. And as I wasn’t interested in the ghosting plot points, things just didn’t really connect for me.
I was given a free copy of this book; I’m leaving an honest and voluntary review.

a sweet Christmas story set in the Scottish Highlands, good characters. I read it in one afternoon. I loved reading a Christmas story in July.

A fun Christmas story about a woman who goes to confront the man who ghosted her, only to find it isn't quite as she thinks. The setting of the rundown hotel in Scotland was fabulous and the characters fun. I really enjoyed it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I enjoyed this book, it was an easy read.
It was a cosy romance in the Highlands. Liv is furious that she has been ghosted again, so she heads up to Scotland to confront him.
Effie (sidekick) is my favourite character and she brings a fun element to the read.
I would have liked a quicker pace and maybe have spent more time with the main couple enjoying each other's company. It was slightly frustrating how Liv did everything she could to help but was still treated as disposable by Fraser.
It wasn't the way I thought the story was going to go from the blurb but it's a perfect Christmas read!
It was a light hearted and enjoyable read.

There are a few things this romance reader loves:
Scottish Men
Highlands
CHRISTMAS
This book had them all! It was such an amazing break from my Dark Romance tendencies; it had me chuckling, smirking and swooning constantly.
If you love a bit of the online dating trope, a little mystery and a fmc who is very unlucky in love; his book is for you!!!!

Liv estuvo en una relación en línea con Frasier, pero un día él desapareció sin despedirse, entonces decide ir a buscarlo y cantarle sus verdades a la cara, pero pasan una serie de eventos desafortunados que hacen que tenga que ocultar su identidad y tenga que quedarse con él y su familia por unos días.
Effie parece una adolescente, me desesperó. Mira que todos en ese pueblo eran tontos, pero ella se ganó la corona.
Me costó trabajo por la comedia que no era graciosa para mí, pero cuando me empezó a gustar pasó lo de Effie y Frasier traicionando a Liv y pues el avance que tuve se perdió.
Honestamente no tengo idea porque Oliva los perdonó, ojala hubiera salido corriendo de ese pueblo de locos. El tipo le dio lo mismo cuando le dijo que se fuera y además dio a atender que el beso no significó nada.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a little chaotic, so to speak. The shenanigans were fun but I wish the characters had more "page time" to fully flesh out their budding relationship. I loved the writing though- I felt like I was immersed into their atmosphere.

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this book.
The story follows our main character Olivia-Liv. After being ghosted another time by a guy named Fraser, she decides to confront him and goes to his restaurant, but a couple of events will prevent Liv to confront him and she will be stuck with him...
It was a fun, cosy and light read. I had a hard time reading it at first as I was uncomfortable with Liv not being upfront at first and lying, but the book would have been 50 pages so I understand. And I ended up not minding as much after the 25% mark.
I think my favourite character was probably Effie. She has such a unique, sparkling personality. When you see her name on the page, you know you will either smile, laugh or want to hug her. The plot twist at the end with her was so nice and sweet.
The multiple point of views of the book were quite nice, as we could follow the thoughts of several characters.

The concept of this book was really cute! It also promised a lot of shenanigans, which definitely was true! I could not predict what was going to happen next because just as you thought something might be going Liv's way, it absolutely wasn't. The side characters (especially those guests that showed up during the snowstorm) really added to the atmosphere of the novel. Scotland was also a great setting for this book.
Overall, I did think this book did feel a little hectic. A lot happened over a short period of time that was a little overwhelming. I felt like Liv and Fraser did not have enough scenes together to really develop their relationship. I was not fully sold on their chemistry by the end of the book. I still enjoyed getting to read Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands, but I don't think it was 100% for me.

“Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands” is such a cute and fun read. It has a great Christmas vibe. I liked the main characters, Liv and Fraser, and I thought they had great chemistry. I thought the Scottish setting was perfect. I also really enjoyed the author’s writing style. I cannot wait to reread this book at Christmastime. I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you for the arc!
First of all this was a really cute christmasy read. Would be perfect curled up with a hot chocolate and a slice of christmas cake!
I personally felt it was a little slow for my liking, but the characters definitely made up for that.

I loved this book and will reread it at Christmas! The Scottish Highlands, an unlucky-in-love FMC, a gorgeous male chef at a gorgeous hotel, and of course, that stunning cover! Romance fans will love as much as I did. Enjoy!

Liv is the main character and she has a dating profile and was matched with this guy they hit it off then his profile disappears and he is nowhere to be found and she thinks she is ghosted AGAIN!! so she wants to go to the highlands to confront him, so she does. She ends up seeing him but he doesn't know who she is and doesn't know of any profile he is the head chef at the highlands and liv ends up hurting her foot and having to stay at the hotel through the storm. I loved the characters and I thought it was a really fun romance story.

A funny and sweet story . Liv is texting with a great guy who has matched on a dating app and suddenly his profile is deleted .She thought they had something special . Now with all the information she has she will travel to Scotland to find him and receive an explaination . When she arrives at Frazer's hotel where he is the chef she has an accident and get het ankle and head hit . It also snows and the roads close so she has to stay until they are open . Frazer doesn't seem to know her and whe she tells his about the profile he doesn't believe her . Will they find who set the profile and will they give themselves a chance to love ?
I received this book from netgalley , the author and the publicer as an ARC . Thank you . All thoughts and opinions are my own .

-contemporary romance
This was a charming romantic novel set in Scotland. The female protagonist, Liv, appeared to be experiencing a series of unfortunate events in her dating life, having been ghosted on multiple occasions. However, her luck seemed to change when she encountered Fraser online, who appeared to possess all the desirable qualities she sought in a partner. However, an unexpected turn of events occurred when Fraser's online profile mysteriously disappeared. Determined to confront Fraser and put an end to the ghosting, Liv embarked on a journey to seek answers. Surprisingly, Fraser expressed complete unawareness of Liv's existence.
Despite this initial setback, the story unfolds as a heartwarming and lighthearted romance that evokes a sense of emotional warmth and joy in the reader. Additionally, the male protagonist's Scottish heritage adds an appealing element to the narrative.

Such a cute love story and extra perks that it is in Scottland! I like the chemistry of the characters. The story still could use some fluff removal but overall still a cute book

I just felt the book was too slow for my liking. I thought it was going to go in a different direction. It felt like a slow build-up that went nowhere. I can not get into this book.

I loved this book and will reread it at Christmas! The Scottish Highlands, an unlucky-in-love FMC, a gorgeous male chef at a gorgeous hotel, and of course, that stunning cover! Romance fans will love it as much as I did. Enjoy!
