About this ebook

A kiss is just a kiss…

Unless it’s under the mistletoe.

Ellie Smith is determined to make up for Christmases past by spreading holiday cheer throughout the Bar V5 dude ranch, but tech “bah, humbug” billionaire, Josiah Whittaker, refuses to bask in the spirit of the season.

Unwilling to let the geek-to-gorgeous Josiah win, Ellie plans to give him a Christmas he’ll never forget. But after a simple kiss under the mistletoe, Ellie and Josiah both start questioning everything. Can Christmas really bring the gift neither one of them were expecting: true love?

Ratings and reviews

Sorry, I could not get into this book. After reading 60 pages I gave up. There were so many areas that could have really gone somewhere and held your interest, but it just jumped to all sweet and boring with not much feeling for the characters. It had great potential but fell flat. I was actually thinking of my grocery list as I read. That was when I knew it was time to quite.

McClone definitely brings Christmas to life with this warm and inviting novel. The story was intricately crafted and really drew me in. I enjoyed each aspect as it came together. At the same time, it was a light and easy read that I really connected with. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and becoming part of their lives for this short while. They were fun and inviting individuals that I got to know as if they were my neighbours. I found myself becoming more and more invested in their lives. This novel was cute, sweet, funny, & heartfelt. This is definitely a Marietta Christmas that I won’t soon forget. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

A trip back to the Bar V5 ranch was just what I needed, especially for Christmastime to see what the gang has been up to. Josiah is being forced to stay there for a whole month and he feels it will be like prison. He almost died and was told by his doctors to rest, so his friend Nate took him home to the ranch. He wasn't expecting to see his best friends little sister and boy has Ellie grown since he saw her last, eleven years ago. A great addition to the series.
