Married Under the Mistletoe

~Hollie Luckie

If you’re craving a Christmas read that delivers all the twinkle-light charm and a guaranteed HEA, then Hollie Luckie’s Married Under the Mistletoe needs to be the next gift you ununwra

Bridget and her cousin Brian (and his new wife Millie) run their family’s cozy inn tucked in the snowy heart of Deer Valley. With Brian and Millie whisking off on their honeymoon, Bridget is left to juggle one of the most important weeks the inn has ever seen: the wedding of the season, a flock of magazine reporters, and the town’s ever-growing lineup of festive holiday traditions. But when a winter storm traps the happy newlywed couple hours away – and then promptly snow-locks the entire wedding party for the upcoming wedding – Bridget finds herself staring down a Christmas catastrophe. No ceremony. No bride. No groom. And a lobby full of journalists expecting a picture-perfect event.

What follows is a charming scramble of sleigh-bell chaos as Bridget tries to save the day with a last-minute local couple. Will she manage to pull off a holiday miracle? Or will the inn’s big chance at the spotlight melt away like a snowflake on a warm window?

Luckie gives us a cast of characters who feel instantly familiar – like walking into a room full of people you swear you’ve met at last year’s tree-lighting ceremony. Even with the novella’s short length, the personalities shine through with just enough depth to make you feel invested, rooting for them like neighbors in your own snowy small town.

The pacing glides swiftly, the kind of read that keeps you turning pages long after you meant to go to sleep. And while the atmosphere doesn’t drown you in detail, the wintery touches – the sparkling lights, the warmth of the inn, the holiday event line-up – settle in perfectly, giving the story that comfortable, cinnamon-spiced backdrop.

If you’re aiming to bump up your end-of-year reading count, need a festive pick for a holiday challenge, or just want a quick, heartwarming story before bed, Married Under the Mistletoe deserves a place at the top of your list. Available now on Kindle!
