When I got this book, I thought it was a new one from Debbie Macomber. I was surprised to find it wasn't but was a tw0 in one book of two of her previously published books. I like her books so I wasn't disappointed to find myself rereading the two books. Book 1 was the Christmas story of the birth of Christ but set in real people's lives. Book 2 was about two girls getting their parents to remarry at Christmas time. Both were set in Cedar Cove and if you watched the TV show, you could see in your mind's eye the actors that played the people you were reading about. Both were good reads and ones I didn't mind rereading.

These were two wonderful Christmas stories and despite reading them in August when it was 100 degrees outside, they gave me all the Christmas emotions and feelings that are good in the season. It’s hard to say which was my favorite as they both were original and carried their own morals. I did like the light comparison A Cedar Cove Christmas had to the original Christmas story so it might have a slight edge over 1225 Christmas Tree Lane. Both have a bit of romance, but so much heart and warmth in true Macomber Christmas tradition. The latter did have a little something that was irksome but I’m a lenient reader and was over it and moving on. Each is perfect for a quick read and I would imagine they will be wonderful little morsels during the hectic rush of holiday preparations. In fact, I’m planning to reread them myself at that time.

While I had already read these two Cedar Cove Christmas stories, it's always nice to revisit the characters. I love Debbie Macomber and her stories.

The holidays would not be complete without Debbie Macomber and a cozy revisit to Cedar Cove. This book offers just that. A re-visit of previously released novels but a fun-re-read nonetheless. The stories are both heartwarming and easy, so curl up with a comfy blanket and enjoy!

1st Book:
Mary Jo is a single mother trying to navigate what to do with her situation. Her three loveable but overprotective brothers, the Wyse Men, will do whatever they think is necessary for Mary Jo to have the ending they think she deserves. This book is a cute parallell to the Christimas Story complete with 3 men bringing gifts, a manger complete with animals and a heartwarming happy ending.

2nd Book:
Beth is still figuring out life as a new divorcee when Christmas comes, complete with her daughters coming to visit...with her ex husband and a basket of puppies! Will this be a holiday of their dreams or end with an oof?

Two heartwarming Christmas stories set in Cedar Cove. Both are entertaining and fun with lots of love and a bit of drama. When is there not drama when it surrounds the ones you love?

1st Story:
At 23, Mary Jo ends up pregnant by a man, David, who is 20 years older than her. He disappears before the birth. Mary Jo’s 3 older brothers are ready to track him down. Will she be able to convince her brothers that she is ready to have the baby without David? Will she be able to find David herself before her brothers cause trouble?

2nd Story
Beth Morehouse has two daughters in college who have returned home for Christmas vacation. The girls inform her that her ex- husband is coming for Christmas. Little did Beth know that the girls were the ones who were bringing them together. They could see that their mom and dad still needed each other. Will this reunion work out as the girls want, or will it end in disaster?

Sometimes you just need that book that is heartfelt, entertaining and fun! This book checks those boxes. Debbie Macomber writes wonderful stories about marriage, love, resiliency and friendships. I love how her characters are relatable and have a sense of humor. A fun and entertaining book to kick off your holiday reads!

Thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing (MIRA), I was provided an ARC of Mistletoe and Mischief by Debbie Macomber via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Two stories sharing the same setting and many of the same characters are featured in this book by Debbie Macomber. They were an easy read, which in today's hectic world is needed, not every book has to be thought provoking and a cerebral experience. The characters of both of the stories are likeable and leaves the reader wanting the best possible outcomes for them. That being said, in A Cedar Cove Christmas, I did find that intentional connections to another familiar story (the Christmas nativity) to be predictable and overdone. However, as I had not ready any other books set in the Cedar Cove series, it did serve as a good introduction to many of the characters that are seen in the town. If you are looking for a light-hearted seasonal read, this just might be the book for you.

Prepare to fall fully in love with the world of Cedar Cove! Macomber’s warmth and charm is perfect for any season, not just Christmas.

This is a republishing & new cover on 2 of Macomber's older Christmas stories - A Cedar Cove Christmas, and 1225 Christmas Tree Lane. These stories bring the reader closer to the familiar characters of the Cedar Cove series for a warm and delightful holiday season. The stories will leave you with a smile on your face as you feel like you are surrounded by your closes friends.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
Two stories to celebrate the holiday season with the good people of Cedar Cove.
A Cedar Cove Christmas and 1225 Christmas Tree Lane, although they are reprints they still have all the charm, warmhearted family stories that Ms Macomber does so well. Like visiting old friends.
I hate it when an author reprints prior books published and tries to pass them off as new releases. Macomber does this a lot, by changing the cover or selling them like this in a bundle. I was not amused.

This is 2 novels each set in Cedar Cove. Both are re issues but are still delightful heartwarming Christmas stories. Thank you to netgalley for an advanced readers copy.

This has 2 stories in the book. First is A Cedar Cove Christmas. This was such a heartwarming story. Maryjo is such a sweetheart and Mack was so wonderful. I loved her brothers they were so funny. The animals were great too. The second story is 1225 Christmas Tree Lane. It’s in the same series as the first one. We catch up on many of the town residents. The main characters are Beth and her ex-husband Kent along with their two college age daughters. This had a lot of funny moments and a lot of misunderstandings. There were 10 adorable puppies also.
This book will put you in the Christmas spirit in no time. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Mistletoe and Mischief by Debbie Macomber. Not one but two delightful Christmas Holiday stories taking place in Cedar Grove. A Cedar Cove Christmas and 1225 Christmas Tree Lane, although they are reprints they still have all the charm, warmhearted family stories that Ms Macomber does so well. Like visiting old friends.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Christmas books are a wonderful addition to any season, however a Debbie Macomber Christmas book is the icing on the cake. With two fantastic stories the reader will be emersed in everything Christmas while the characters fall in love. This book will add just the right spark to anyone's holiday.

Written by a favorite author, the stories move quickly. The characters are likable and realistic. A baby…Christmas…family and friends…sweet stories…cuddle up in a comfy chair and enjoy. Thanks Netgalley.

Oh I am a sucker for Christmas books and Debbie McComber!! She always knows how to pull all the heartstrings! I love her characters, her settings and just the wonderful stories she writes. Well done!

Debbie Macomber brings us two stories from Cedar Cove. In A Cedar Cove Christmas, we meet Mary Jo Wyse whose pregnancy has brought her to Cedar Cove on Christmas Eve. There she meets Grace who takes her home when there is no room anywhere else. She meets paramedic Mack when an emergency has him and his partner rushing to her aid. Meanwhile, the three Wyse brothers are on their way to her when they find her missing from home. Will her brothers be able to find her and does Mary Jo find what she was looking for in Cedar Cove? In 1225 Christmas Tree Lane, we find Beth Morehouse getting ready for Christmas with her daughters and now includes her ex-husband. In addition, she is left with a basket full of puppies. As Beth tries to find the puppies new homes, she must also juggle the holiday season wondering why her ex-husband has also decided to spend it with them.

Debbie Macomber invites us back to Cedar Cove. We get to visit with all the residents of the town and see what they have been up to since we last met them. It is always like visiting friends and catching up. We get to follow along with Mary Jo and Beth as they interact with everyone in town and how they each show us what's been going on. See if Cedar Cove will give Mary Jo and Beth what they need while they battle with themselves and the unknown. Perhaps the friendliness and warmth of the town will show them what they need is also what they want. It is always nice revisiting Cedar Cove and I look forward to revisiting them again.

I have read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | MIRA for this privilege.

This is my first Macomber book and I loved it!
I absolutely adored Mary Jo. She was an awesome character. I loved how she stood her ground against her brothers.
I laughed at her brothers. I'd love some brothers like that. But not quite so over protective. I don't blame their sister for her actions.
This book has some well rounded out characters but as I've said Mary Jo is my favorite!
I couldn't put this book down it was so very good!
I'm giving this story 5 stars. I highly recommend this book.
My thanks for a cute and fun read. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

How can anyone not read Debbie Macomber books?? I love them. I especially love her holiday books. Mistletoe and Mischief is her latest book and it did not disappoint! I loved it!

I really loved this book. I love the Christmas stories in it. I love reading Christmas books all year because they are always uplifting. I love the books that Debbie Macomber writes especially Christmas ones. I liked the endings in this book. I look forward to reading her next one. I'm grateful that netgaelly and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review
