Mistletoe Christmas: An Anthology by Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor and Erica Ridley book review

Here I am again, reviewing my Christmas books in April. Argh!!! But it’s never too early to start building your holiday TBR pile ;) 

Mistletoe Christmas is an anthology of four short stories. All by some of my favorite historical romance writers. This entire anthology is set in the annual Revelry. A huge holiday party that takes all year to plan.

The first story is A Mistletoe Kiss by Eloisa James. The story centers of Lady Cressida, who is the organizer of the annual Revelry for her father the Duke. He likes to take credit for the Revelry. This reader did not like him for that :( Elias, Lord Darcy de Royleston, has known Cressida since he was 12, and never really noticed her. This year, he takes notice. 

Wishing Under the Mistletoe by Christi Caldwell Oh man. This second chance romance really got me. I found it to be so sad at the beginning, but I KNEW there had to be a HEA. Isabelle left Cyrus when she felt that he was too into his work. He was just focused on making money. She left and worked on writing plays. Ten years later, they meet again at The Revelry and are assigned to work together. Will they finally learn to communicate with each other? 

Compromise Under the Mistletoe by Janna MacGregor This story was about a marriage in crisis. Caroline left her husband for London because she didn’t feel appreciated. Now her trust fund is on the line and she has to convince the Duke that they are together. This story had quite a steamy scene. I mean, if you are snowed in with your husband at a party… 


Mischief and Mistletoe by Erica Ridley A wallflower poet with a mother determined to finally see her wed. However, Louisa is just interested in writing her poetry. Fortunately, the Revelry brought out some other poets and Louisa has some chemistry with fellow poet, Ewan. There were some secrets that took a while to come out, but guess what??? There was a happy ending. Overall, a fun and entertaining read. Love the christmas spirit. Love all the authors who contributed to this anthology. It’s a great way to find a new author to love. Put this on your list to get you into the Christmas spirit.
