Meddling with Mistletoe

By Liz Johnson

My Thoughts on this Book:

Christmas is the best time of year. Nothing like cuddling up with a story set during this magical time of year. This is one of those books. Get a cup of hot coffee or cocoa and your favorite blanket and let Liz transform you to the little Red Door Inn where you meet Whitney and Daniel. Whitney is struggling to find her purpose in life and to make her family proud. So she decides she wants to go to culinary school but the only way to afford the tuition is to sell pies during the holiday season and lots of them. When her oven breaks she contacts her friend at the Inn for help. 

While working at the Inn she meets Daniel, Aretha's nephew, who is staying at the Inn helping inventory her store for sale. Sparks fly between Daniel and Whitney but she must keep her feelings at bay because Aretha has other plans for Daniel.. For him to fall in love, with someone else, the lady brought over to purchase her antique store. 

Can Whitney move aside and let Aretha play match maker for Daniel or will the two of them find each other even with the odds against them? 

I truly enjoyed this story. I have not had the opportunity to read any of the books in the Red Door Inn series so with that being said, it didn't take away from this story at all. I had no problem following along and taking in all the nostalgia Christmas brings and enjoying all the characters.. You will love drawing yourself into this tale this Christmas season... 

About This Book:

Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return. 

The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.
