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.

Mistletoe and Mischief
by Debbie Macomber
Pub Date: October 1, 2024
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.

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.

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.
