Booked for Christmas by Melissa F. Miller

Booked for Christmas by Melissa F. Miller is second in the A Mistletoe Mountain series.   Holly Jolly, Esquire, is really not about Christmas.  She is assigned to keep an eye on her new client over the Christmas season.  Jack Bell is passing through, but is now stuck in Mistletoe Mountain with a cranky Holly Jolly and the entire Jolly family.  So, the question is can Holly be jolly? 

This had all the Christmas charm for me.  An over-the-top Christmas celebrating small town, engaging characters, and several sweet and funny moments.  Holly and Jack had great chemistry, banter and a sweet transformation.  I appreciate this closed-door romance that sparkled with Christmas cheer.  The story made me smile and want to embrace the holidays.  There is a bit of a mystery that involves a little free library, unknown identities and the town library. 

The story is filled with small town fun, romance, and a Christmas love.  I highly recommend Booked for Christmas! 

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review. 

I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My family lived in a house overlooking the Pittsburgh Zoo. On quiet nights you could hear the lions roar from our backyard. My parents supported my love of reading, until I crashed my bike because I was trying, unsuccessfully, to read and cycle at the same time.

I studied Medieval English Literature in college. You’re not going to believe this, but there was not an enormous job market for Medieval English Literature majors when I graduated college. I worked as an editor for several years before heading back to Pittsburgh and law school.

After law school I took a job in Pittsburgh. I would meet and marry my husband David there before we moved to Washington, D.C., and then to central Pennsylvania, where we started a small law firm together.

Confined to hospitalized bed rest with complications during my third pregnancy, I started writing Irreparable Harm to fill the time, and the rest, as they say, is history. In 2015, I retired from the practice of law to focus on my writing. I’ve now written more than three dozen novels!

When I’m not writing, I enjoy gardening, yoga, and, always, coffee.
