A Sweet Christmas romance. That even though it is a Christmas romance its one of those that it doesn't matter what time of the year you read it it still good.

This is pure sweetness all over from the cover to the adorable second chance romance and characters. I enjoyed the setting and the season made it mean so much more as it's my favorite time of year and so right for love! It was so easy to see from the start that this couple were meant to be!

Mistletoe on Main Street was a good book that touches on some sensitive subjects regarding love, loss, and pursuing your dreams. Considering that it was a Christmas book, I was surprised that it was so deep. Although there is the required happy ending, there was a lot of emotion and sadness that permeates throughout the book.

Mistletoe on Main Street is the story of former couple Grace Madison and Luke Hastings. They grew up in a small town called Briar Creek in Vermont. They should have gotten married to each other but instead Grace left to pursue a writing career in New York and Luke stayed in Briar Creek to become an educator. Fast forward five years, Grace has broken off her engagement to someone who couldn’t live up to Luke and is headed back home to Briar Creek for Christmas. She was a best-selling author but her last book was panned by the critics and she is questioning all of her prior life choices. On the other hand, Luke is now a principal and a widower. He never stopped loving Grace and is evaluating his own life choices.

All things considered, I do like Grace and Luke as a couple. It’s just that I’m not quite sure that I was totally sold on how their relationship is rekindled. There is so much baggage between the two of them that I felt like there should have been some additional interactions and other situations that should have transpired before they even broached the subject of getting back together. Grace needed to spend more time with her family and rebuild that relationship while Luke really needed to get over his guilt regarding his feelings toward his deceased wife. There just needed to be more time to have passed before this happy ending. I get that it’s a book and things have been tied up in a nice little bow but I would have been more sold on the reconciliation had it not happened so fast. Plus, there is this whole other story line regarding Grace’s sisters that seemed to be touched on so much that they may as well have told their story too. Instead, I’m sure that they will both get their own books. I guess what I’m saying is that there was a lot going on in this book that it’s hard to focus on just Grace and Luke. I hope that the next book is more streamlined.
