When Everleigh Dangerfield’s baking disaster necessitates a call to 911, firefighter Griffin Brantley douses the flames in the kitchen, but the ones he stokes in Everleigh are an entirely different story. Unfortunately, Everleigh’s only visiting and doesn’t do casual hookups, no matter how smoldering the temptation. But Everleigh’s holiday mishaps have just begun. And Griffin is seemingly always on call. If Everleigh is game for a change of plans, he can give her the merriest Christmas of her life.

This book is the fourth book in the “Under The Mistletoe Collection” book series. And I gotta say that so far this book is the weakest of all the books I’ve read in this series so far.

This book has a city girl in a small town Christmas vibes to it. And to be very honest a part of me really liked it. Because its a nice and cozy premise for a Christmas book which you can read during one sitting during the holidays.

The premise for this book is very overrated if you ask me. Because as I’ve said in the paragraph above the premise for this book is about a girl (who lives in Seattle) who comes to a small town to take care of her dead grandmother’s house before it is sold and she meets a guy in the small town and stays. And at this point in the 21-century there is a dozen of books and movies about this topic, and I personally am very tired of this topic which might be the reason why I dislike this book more than I like it.

The plot was okay and cozy for the most part, but since this book is very short (only 50 something pages long) it doesn’t go into a lot of moments. But I feel like this helped this book much more than if it was longer than it is.

The characters here were okay for the most part. I had some issues with them here and there throughout this book but for the most part I thought they were okay.

One of the problems with the characters in this book I had a problem with was the main female characters and her being overly and ridiculously clumsy. I personally have my fair share of clumsy moments here and there but the main female character takes the cake for the most clumsiest character I have ever seen in my life.

The second problem with the characters in this book I had is about the male main character in this book. There is one moment at the end of this book where he swims out on the lake to help people who are drowning and then out of nowhere he just shows up behind the female main character.

The writing style here was okay for the most part even thou I wasn’t a fan of it. The writing style is simple and easy to read and it plays well with the easy plot this book has. But still I feel like the writing style in this book could have been so much better than what we actually got in this book.

The two pervious books in this series felt more like YA books rather than Christmas books because how rarely Christmas or anything Christmas related topics were mentioned in the two pervious books. But this book actually have sort of a nice and cozy Christmas vibe which made me like this book a little bit more and might have been the reason why I gave this book 2 stars instead of 1 star.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
