About this listen
Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts
Mistletoe is Hailey Fairchild’s kryptonite. Every time she’s kissed someone under the mistletoe it’s led to love disaster. Not a good thing for a romance writer! When she was a gawky high school girl, her hunky neighbor, Carwyn Davies, star of the basketball team (and her dreams), kissed her under the mistletoe on a dare. But the kiss wasn’t a dream come true. It was a mortifying moment she’s never forgotten, and now she’s about to go home for the holidays, unengaged and . . . determined to say no to mistletoe. Especially if Carwyn is anywhere around.
Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller
Emmy Banks has always loved Christmas. How could she not when she lives in Mistletoe, Missouri? Kieran O’Neill has spent years abroad, renovating an old Irish castle, but returns to Mistletoe for his mother’s seventieth birthday. He reconnects with Emmy, his sister’s close friend, and spends time with her in her charming antique shop. When the weather turns colder, things start to warm up between Emmy and Kieran. But can Emmy risk her heart when she knows he’ll never stay in Mistletoe, and she will never leave?
The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham
Prince Arran St. Clare has lost his freedom and fairytale life in exchange for a three-month “punishment” in the small town of Ransom, North Carolina. To prove he is ready for the royal life for which he was born, Arran must engage in the Christmas charity fundraiser, The Mistletoe Wish. But when kindness, authenticity, and hard work prove more appreciated in Appalachia than a royal pedigree, Arran must face the mirror and find out who he is beyond the crown. Add a beautiful and intelligent woman who doesn’t recognize her own worth, some mistletoe, and a little Christmas magic and it all might be enough to help the rebel-prince understand what truly matters most.

Story
When the Chambers sisters receive an invitation from their jet-setting aunt to spend the entire month of December at the family's cabin in Asheville, North Carolina, they have one question—why? The retreat, tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, may be the site of many happy childhood holidays and summers, but it also holds sad memories. The sisters and their aunt have spent twenty-five years avoiding the cabin and renting it to strangers. Why would Aunt Elizabeth want her "dearest darling" nieces to put their busy lives in three different states on hold and spend a month in the mountains?

Her divorced sister, Stef, who is too young to give up on love; her shy employee, Elinor; and her daughter, Natalie, who works in Frankie’s shop, Holiday Happiness, and really needs to start her own business selling the delectable chocolates she makes at home; even her best friend, Viola, who is trying to renovate her old Victorian.

Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought). Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone - even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month.

My name is Luke Edgewood, and there are few things in life that I require. Mainly black coffee. And flannel. And lots of solitude. And my dogs, Chewy and Indie. What I don't need is romance, so I have no plans to change my thirty-year-old-bachelor status anytime soon. But my youngest sister thinks that by accepting a short-term construction job in the small European country of Skymar, I'm going to follow along in her footsteps and discover my own romantic adventure. Nope. Bah humbug. The End. This time, her rom-com-movie senses are totally wrong. Or maybe not.

Dear Reader, My name is Penelope, and while I may not be a real-life princess, I’ve been told I possess a certain fairy-tale heroine quality. I wield optimism as my weapon of choice, don amazing shoes and vintage hats whenever possible, and speak in musical references. All of which perfectly qualifies me to succeed in my new role as a marketing intern at the historic Darling House theater on the island of Skymar. Only . . . it seems this internship position is going to be a LOT bigger than I thought.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Three Christmas Gifts
I loved all three stories! Three romantic stories to get you into the Christmas mood. I had read and listened to some Pepper Basham books in the past and knew her story would be a treat. The other two authors are new to me and I look forward to reading or listening to more of their stories. If you are feeling cold as winter approaches these stories will warm your heart!

Get Ready For Mistletoe Season!
All three of these novellas will win your heart. Each is well crafted, complete and have an encouraging hero with a HEA ending.
Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller-
I am happy to see a story with a H and h in their forties.
The story is a plausible second chance, friends to lovers tale with an Irish heartthrob who said “lass” a little too often. Coming home after twenty-two years in Ireland is a little unsettling but Kieran and Emmy decide to spend time together during the holiday season in Mistletoe, Missouri.
The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham-
I love having more to read in the Skymar series. We meet the youngest royal, Prince Arran St. Clare of Skymar, who is sent to Ransom, NC for a couple of months to get his act together. The first decisions he makes upon his arrival are not good ones at all and he ends up in an awkward meeting with Luke’s cousin, Charlie…AKA Charlotte. By the middle of this story, I was very enamored with said prince and wished for a Pepper Basham kissing scene and HEA…smile, sigh. I am hoping we see these two in future Skymar tales…Please and thank you.
Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts-
There is nothing better than a funny h written in first person. Especially one that is an author of romance when she has no real romance in her own life. I laughed at her antics and loved how she gained back her self confidence as the story developed. Shelia Roberts can always take what could be another cliche’ trope romance and make it great because her characters are so genuine and original.
The audiobook for this novella trilogy is average since some of the accents required for the first two stories (Irish, southern) were a bit meh. Listening wasn’t unpleasant, just not as consistent across the span of the story. By the end of the second story, Charlotte sounded southern and not like an uneducated redneck so that counted as redeeming value.
This narrator was perfect for “Say No to Mistletoe”! Witty and funny, Eby brought Hailey’s character beyond the pages and proved to give Carwyn a strong, caring voice. Well done.
This book is suitable for older teens with no inappropriate intimate scenes and no bad language.
I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review. I also purchased the audiobook.
