Book Review: Meddling With Mistletoe by Liz Johnson

Tweet

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, proprieter of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door Inn in return. The Inn is busy with holiday guests - including Aretha Franklin Sloan's nephew Daniel, and Ruby, a business woman 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 not the right woman for Daniel - and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match. ~~~~ This is a sweet romance. Daniel is in town to settle a business deal with Ruby. Daniel's aunt believes Ruby is a perfect match for Daniel and she enlists Whitney Garrett to help with the matchmaking. In return Aunt Aretha will help Whitney pay what she needs for culinary school. So while Whitney is at The Red Door Inn baking pies to sell in hopes of making enough for tuition, Ruby and Daniel stay at the Inn while doing business. Daniel is hurting from a past relationship and is a bit of a Scrooge. Whitney's efforts to bring Ruby and Daniel together backfire when it is obvious Daniel has no interest in Ruby, but seems to have eyes for Whitney... and the feeling is mutual. But how is Aunt Aretha going to feel about that? Whitney made a deal which she feels she has to keep. I really enjoyed this book. It takes place in Prince Edward Island as do a couple of Liz Johnson's series. Books set in Canada have a special place in my heart. This Christmas Romance is part of the the Red Door Inn series. I've read them all and really do enjoy them.
