Ratings and reviews

I feel like I just finish reading one of hallmark holiday books. The story is sweet and swoon-worthy yet gives a little bit of angsty vibe. Second chance is one of my favorite tropes so I know when I read something good and this book isn't an exception. 8 years ago, Ashton had a chance with Nora but he failed it. Now fate brings them back together and Ashton wants his second chance. It is quite entertaining to read Ashton chases after Nora. Nora deserves someone who loves her fiercely. The author writes it so good I can feel Nora's pain and makes me feel heartbreaking for her. I even sniff while I am reading this part. So yeah, Ashton has a lot to prove himself to her so be prepared for some swoon actions. In short, this book's worth to read on Christmas Holiday!

Eight years ago, Nora and Ashton met at a Christmas party. Their chemistry and connection were instant and undeniable. However, after that first incredible night together, things fell apart. Now they have a second chance, but only if they can look beyond that old pain. I spent this book wanting to hug Nora tight, promising to make it all better. I didn’t have to, though, Ashton pretty much does it for me. I loved seeing how hard Ashton worked to show Nora that he was different from the man who had disappointed her back then and how much he wanted to continue to be a better person for her. I also completely adored getting this chance to check back in on most of the couples from the West Side series. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

Sometimes novellas are too short, and I feel never give all of the characters. Some do not go to into the characters, but I can honestly say not Misplaced Mistletoe. It gives you everything. Like every novella though always wanting more. Nora and Ashton were not ready for each other 8 years ago when they met at the annual Christmas party. He was still in med school, and she was just starting at her first real job. Now they cross paths 8 years later and the timing is right. But can Nora forget what happened 8 years ago. Can she move on and trust Ashton? Ashton realizes what he did all those years ago was wrong, and now he wants a second chance with Nora. He has changed and is ready for a relationship. All he has to do is convince Nora that he has changed, and he wants to be with her. Easy, right? Sometimes things happen in life we do not understand but if it is meant to be it will be. The timing was not right when they first met, but now the stars are aligning and its their time. A very enjoyable story for two people who had some growing up to do before they found their HEA with each other.
