I was SO excited to be an arc reader for this steamy Christmas book! 🔥

To start—I devoured this book! I read it on the car ride to Oklahoma. It was SO incredibly good!!

The book starts like “ A romantic disaster for two going down in my history book as the worst day of my life.”

In the beginning we meet Tinsley Kingsley a well established party planner in NYC. She gets dumped by her boyfriend Beau Kingston on Christmas Eve. She then goes to the Christmas event she planned and she meets an “Angel” who gives her an Angel Christmas ornament. You make a wish on the ornament and it only works if you truly believe. Tinsley makes a wish— “I wish for a marriage to my one true love.” Shortly after she meets the mysterious Mr.Mitt Morgan a man she kisses under the mistletoe every year.

Mitt is a mysterious billionaire lawyer that offers Tinsley a unique proposition that she willingly accepts. Everything seems well and dandy until a shift.

You just have to read it to get the whole story! I LOVED this book. It gave me emotional whiplash (in a good way) and I loved the Christmas-y names of the side characters (Holly Berry and Cyprus)

These opinions are my own. This book releases on December 17th! Definitely check it out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars for me!

After discovering her boyfriend isn’t proposing but is instead leaving her for another woman, Tinsley finds herself in a whirlwind marriage to a stranger. This isn’t their first encounter—under the mistletoe, they once shared a moment of incredible passion. At first, this unexpected union seems like a dream come true, but Tinsley soon realizes she’s been pulled into her father-in-law’s sinister schemes. Can Tinsley win Mitt’s heart, or is she destined to be just another pawn in the Morgan men’s games?
Tinsley and Mitt’s story had so much potential, but it left me craving more—more action, more passion, and more depth. There were so many intriguing elements, like the brief mention of Mitt’s mother’s murder, that were never explored further. And what was the true motive behind Mitt’s father forcing him into marriage? While the spice delivered in the few scenes it appeared, the plot itself felt underdeveloped and needed more attention to fully bring the story to life.

It was a struggle to finish this for me. I thought maybe this was a first time book but it appears the author has quite a few. I DNFed another from her so I think the writing style is just not for me. It seems very clunky or rushed depending, full of plot holes, things that make zero sense (the party chef-ooo don’t get me started), and underdeveloped characters and relationships. Feel free to take it all with a grain of salt because obviously to each their own. Now onto it:

There was an immediate breakup from one man to our FMC Tinsley to then agreeing to marry another man, our MMC Mitt. Like IMMEDIATE. Tinsley thinks her bf Beau is proposing when he breaks up with her and it’s revealed he cheated with his secretary at a fancy restaurant so she punches him and gets kicked out. Ten minutes later, at an event she wanders into at a park (that she just happens to annually event plan for) and after a weird encounter with an older woman-Tinsley gets a Christmas angel to wish on. She does and then runs into a man under the mistletoe who kisses her, but she kisses him every year under the mistletoe (weird plot device that popped out of nowhere) so when he proposes she says yes. Then he flies her to CO to get married asap from NYC (because that’s the only place to get married on Christmas apparently? Not Atlantic City or Vegas or Reno but an unnamed destination in CO… sure, why not?) He let’s her pick out a million dollar dress and multi million dollar wedding ring, then she calls her bff who says go for it with no qualms, and marries him in front of a justice of the peace. Then they drive up a mountain while she has a panic attack about heights and he makes her “face her fears” by doing literally nothing and she is cured of it-he told her to be fine and held her hand so what are fears of heights y’all?! Then they have a magical reception for two at the top of the mountain (for NO reason) in a giant tent with a multi course feast and five tier cake that he refuses to eat any of, so she eats a few bites of dinner and I guess the cake and the rest of the food is tossed because what’s money-he’s rich!, then they dance & fly back to NYC.

Immediately he becomes a jerk and confesses he married her to look good for his lawyer firm that his (evil) dad owns. He’s Mitt Morgan and he and his dad Cyprus are the richest best defense attorneys in NYC duh and the paparazzi were at his mansion snapping pics because daddy wanted them to be. Oh and daddy Cyprus may be a bad criminal, but who knows, oh and he maybe killed Mitt’s mom and definitely abused Mitt by putting cigarettes out on his chest as a kid to teach him to be a bastard or else (seriously, like come on). Mitt flip flops from hate to love so much we all get whiplash, makes Tinsley “face her fears” of icicles (one scarred her cheek as a kid by falling) by screwing her with it while putting hot cocoa in his mouth to go down on her (temp play is amazing but this was bad and no one wants cocoa in their vagina-hello infection). She wants a divorce, Mitt refuses, and Cyprus threatens her event planning business if she tries to divorce his son.

So of course, magically she gets to throw a huge party as an event planner that evil father-in-law tries to sabotage by spoiling the food (wow what a completely obvious plot point), hot and cold hubby sweeps in and gets a chef there to fix it within ten minutes because he “doesn’t care how much it costs damn it!”, in the span of ONE DANCE the chef cooks a multi-course meal for 1,000 event attendees (does the author know how long it takes to cook that much food and plate it for 1,000 people? Not ONE DANCE! That takes HOURS, hours. Come on! If you give a character a certain job you should know what that job entails. Event planning is a lot of work, being a chef or caterer at an event for a thousand people takes a lot of work, all of it takes months to plan and coordinate, weeks to prep, and then to execute the event multiple days of cooking and prepping and set-up. It, and I am going to use all caps to emphasize this, CANNOT BE DONE OR FIXED IN THE SPAN OF TEN MINUTES AND ONE DANCE!!!!) and everyone loves it, Mitt sings after the lead singer of the band is food poisoned and guess what he is a genuine rockstar (mmhmm, suuuuuure) because he was in a garage band back in the day-so he saves her again, then the fireworks go off early so she says there’s a bigger surprise coming and hubs is going to sweep in and help of course. Isn’t he so amazing? He must love her under all the grumpy bastard behavior, duh!

But then we jump to car explosions, there are terrible winter puns everywhere that don’t fit or make sense, the character relationship isn’t built nor are they fleshed out in any way into fully formed individuals so it all falls flat, the sex scenes are not written well and feel cringe, he breaks up with her at 90% through the book—to “protect her” and pretends to cheat, and then does a terrible grovel in a parking lot that was super cheesy IMMEDIATELY AFTER, and magically evil dad appears to shoot Tinsley after she forgives him (immediately with no accountability or try plan to show his sincerity-she just sees the truth in his eyes). Then it’s all wrapped up in a little bow of evil father-in-law going to jail for life and Mitt screwing her in a candy shop with a giant peppermint stick (again sugar in the vagina, are we not worried about a yeast infection because he doesn’t even clean her up with his tongue after she comes so that is just sitting in there…).

I just couldn’t. It was not for me, I truly hope there is an audience out there for the author but I highly suggest an alpha/beta team to help with the giant plot holes, the character development, spelling/grammar errors, etc. to help find it.

''I followed the compass you gave me, which led me straight to you.''

Mistletoe Missus by Breanne Bergie is a cute Christmas Romance. It had characters you love and characters you absolutely hate! I love the use of the peppermint stick at the end! It's a wonderful standalone festive read!

I was so excited for this book because it was supposed to have so many tropes I like but it just fell flat? The writing felt really matter of fact and not a lot of emotions in it.

Mitt gave me some serious whiplash. I don’t know how tinsley could’ve even fell for him. The groveling was very cringy to me and so were the spice scenes. I also felt like there was so much random stuff backed in the middle and then it just ended?

Spoilers will be in this review.

.5 🌶️ four scenes, only one sex scene, not spicy/smutty.

This book personally wasn’t for me, and I don’t think it was an author thing, I think it was issues I myself had with the book. So please take that into account when reading this review ❤️

As all my review start. Third act break or no? Well, sadly there is a third act break and if you’ve read my reviews before you know I hate these. I can handle them if they make sense, and to me this one didn’t. Mitt was actually an asshole about the whole break, but we’ll get to that.

This book was advertised as a small Christmas read! It wasn’t Christmas other than it started on Christmas Eve, the title is related, and some of the characters has Christmas themed names. If you’re looking for a cozy Christmas book, this isn’t it.

Mitt was described as a sweet man in the dedication and I only saw said sweet man for maybe 5% of the book. Mitt pretended to be with another girl to hurt her, and told Tinsley he cheated on her half their marriage during the third act break. Lost all the little respect I did have for him. “He did it to protect her” No, he did it to be an asshole. There were a million other things he could have done to protect Tinsley and he decided to do all the things that would break her heart instead. I didn’t even feel bad for his pity party because it was everything HE caused.

I loved the tropes, and they’re all my favorites but I found them lacking in areas. I love a brooding, grumpy alphahole more than the next, in honestly it’s mainly all I read but Mitt was more cruel than anything else for me. Again, we only see sweet Mitt very few times.

For a shorter book I expected more instalove, and 99% of this was them just fighting each other. They both fell in love and I don’t even see how when all they did was fight.

He said a couple sweet words to her and she automatically forgave him 😅😅

The ending was…rushed? I mean, it wasn’t even an ending and then it was just a bonus epilogue.

It sounded great, a spicy Christmas book, but there were only 4 spice scenes the whole time. Dual POV, but we hardly have any chapters in Mitt’s POV.

Overall I found this book to not hit for me, but I did love when Mitt helped her. Around 65% I LOVED him, by 80% he was unredeemable. Personally I didn’t like the book as I saw all the “twists and turns” coming and nothing actually surprised me in this book, and for that I won’t give it a star review because it’s not fair to hurt the author when it’s probably just a me thing, but I know so many others will love it, and I wish the best for this book, and that it finds its readers!!

Mistletoe Missus is the perfect holiday romance that effortlessly blends humor, heartwarming charm, spice, and a sprinkle of festive magic. From the very first page, I was hooked by the characters and their personalities. The chemistry between Tinsley and Mitt, is undeniable!

Tinsley is a fiery, sassy, strong-willed woman who finds herself dumped during the holiday season. I absolutely loved her personality and inner dialogue. She’s independent, and isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. I was clapping and cheering her on when she pulled out that $30 million; you go girl! 😆 When she meets an “angel” who gives her a wish that will only work if you believe, she wishes for a marriage to her one true love. Who better to run into than the mystery man you’ve been kissing under the mistletoe every year?

Mitt is a swoon-worthy, but emotionally guarded man, and sometimes he made me want to scream!! I was hot and cold with him at first, but by the end I loved him and his changed ways. His inner dialogue was hilarious, especially when Tinsley got under his skin. He also has quite the mouth on him! 😏 When he meets Tinsley under the mistletoe, he offers her something she can’t turn down, and it spirals them into a rollercoaster ride of feelings and discovery.

Their interactions are filled with wit, humor, and the kind of emotional depth that pulls at your heartstrings. Don’t even get me started on the spice... It was hot, hot, HOT! 🥵 The plot moves at a perfect pace, with just the right amount of tension, humor, spice, and sweetness to keep you turning the pages.

❤️ This book is more than just a romance in my opinion – it’s a story about finding true love when you least expect it, discovering who you are and what matters most, and embracing the magic of the season. The book is full of moments that will make you smile, laugh, yell, and tear up and cry. ❤️

If you’re looking for a heartwarming, feel-good, spicy holiday read that will leave you with a smile on your face, Mistletoe Missus is an absolute must-read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

This book starts with such a swoon-worthy meet-cute under the mistletoe—it had me dreaming of finding my own mistletoe magic! Tinsley’s journey through the first few chapters was so emotional that I couldn’t help but root for her to find her happily ever after. She goes through so much, and it makes her story all the more compelling.

Mitt, on the other hand, was a whirlwind of emotions — I hated him, then loved him, then hated him again, only to fall for him completely by the end. Both Tinsley and Mitt are incredibly dynamic, and their layered personalities made the story even more engaging. The highs and lows of their relationship had me riding an emotional rollercoaster that I didn’t want to end.

If you're searching for a Christmas romance that’s both heartwarming and emotionally intense — complete with peppermint sticks and icicles 🍬🧊—this book is a perfect pick. 🌶🎄🎅😘

This was my first Breanne Bergie book, and I’m already looking forward to reading more. Her writing is captivating, full of unexpected twists, and so well-crafted. I especially loved how each chapter had a title and was paired with the POV character’s name—it added such a special touch to the reading experience. Highly recommend!

In Mistletoe Missus we follow the story of event planner Tinsley Kingsley as she deals with the heartbreak(and anger) of finding out the guy she thought was ‘the one’ was breaking up with her .. because he was cheating on her… to being married less than 24 hours later to a mystery man she’s been kissing under the mistletoe for years. What happens when she finds out this mystery man is big shot lawyer Mitt Morgan? Why did he ask Tinsley to marry him? Will things work out? Or will Mitt & Tinsley run in to some trouble?

When I first started this book I was a little worried. I felt like the story was progressing way too quick - for my liking that is - remember we all have different opinions! That lasted just a few short chapters though & I ended up falling in love with the characters! Tinsley is such a strong willed, independent female character & I absolutely loved seeing that! I feel like a lot of times in romance novels we see female characters folding so easily for the MMC, not that that’s a bad thing. It was just nice to see a switch up. And Mitt. My goodness where do I even start? Our MMC is a bit of a red flag on the surface but deep down he’s giving major green flags. Mitt tries to keep up his cold, ruthless, tough guy act but Tinsley keeps melting his cold heart with her spitfire, sassy attitude. The spice in this as well is very very hot! The author did not hold back at all on this which I loved!

Overall, I would definitely recommend reading this book if you’re looking for a holiday romance
book that has a nice mix of spice & love ❤️

This story does contain mention of trauma & has a lot of open door spice. Please make sure to read over the triggers before reading.

Thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC ❤️

Mistletoe Missus by Breanne Bergie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to author Breanne Bergie for this ARC in exchange for a honest review.
__________________________________________
This book follows Tinsley who wants nothing more than to get married and have a family, but those dreams turn to ash when her cheating ex dumps her, or do they?

A few kisses under the mistletoe with a stranger and some sketchy decisions lead to a shotgun wedding to Mr Hot Shot lawyer Mitt Morgan.

These 2 have so many things working against them and frustratingly, they work against themselves as well. But after Mitt's ass of a father takes it too far, Mitt finally realises what he wants and gets to grovelling - as he should! In my opinion, Tinsley should have made him work harder for her forgiveness.

This book put me through the paces and all my emotions. It had me going from happy to frustrated and back again. It also had me rooting for Mitt and Tinsely to get their happily ever after as Mitt had such sweet moments between all his asshole ones and Tinsley deserved everything good.

In general, I did enjoy the book, but it took a bit of work to get fully immersed in the story as there was quite a bit going on for a quick read. But all good things take time, so stick with it.

What to expect:
💍Marriage of Convenience

🎄Holiday
💍Grumpy/Sunshine
🎄Forced Proximity
💍He falls first

Love Tinsley and Mitt 😍


First off, we love a spicy redhead and that is just what Tinsley is. She is sassy, determined, and devoted. 🥰

Mitt starts off a total alphahole with a soft side at times, and I now understand, and I love that he changed his ways for her. 🙃

The twist and turns in this book was fantastic. I love this book. I cannot wait for this to come out and share with my friends. It’s so well written it’s easy to read. I love that she goes into detail with back stories. ❤️

The banter and the spice is just amazing. There is definitely banter. I love how Tinsley tries to get under his skin. I mean, I think a $30 million car was a little excessive but you go girl. 🙌

In the spice in this book, the things this woman man does to her oh my Lord 🥵, I mean the icicle and the peppermint stick I mean “OKAY I SEE YOU” 👀

I love the plot twist towards the end of this book. It is something I kind of felt but I couldn’t be 100% sure and it definitely was a shock how that played out.

Breanne is a wonderful author, her books really pull you in and she goes into so much detail that you can easily picture the world she’s creating in her books. Love this book definitely a 10 out of 10 for me.🤩

You go to a Christmas Eve dinner with Beaus who you have been dating for 8 months and are thinking you are going to get proposed to and what happens.? You get broken up with and find out the person you have been dating is a two timing jerk. Tinsley has to pick herself up from the let down and knowing that her life just took an unexpected turn. She goes to her annual Christmas party in the park that she helps plan every year since she is a party planner. While venting to her best friend she is given an angel to add to the tree and make a wish on. “I wish for a marriage to my one true love.”.
One can say it is tradition but she has been meeting under the mistletoe with a specific gentleman for the last couple of years they would kiss and then just go about their ways. This year is different and unexpectedly changes the trajectory of Tinsley’s life.
Mistletoe Missus gives you the hopeless romantic feeling and sprinkles a little bit of Christmas magic. Though both Tinsley and Mitt’s relationship is not smooth sailing and a few bumps are hit along the way you get to see the dynamic of both of them work out.

All event planner Tinsley wants is to start a family. She wants the dotting husband and children, but instead all Tinsley gets is a cheating scumbag boyfriend that treated her to a lavish dinner all to just breakup with her for his secretary.

Mitt Morgan needs a wife to get his ruthless father off his back and he has it all planned and figured out since he’s met Tinsley under the mistletoe every Christmas for a brief kiss, but this Christmas everything changes. Tinsley is now free from the dirtbag and she’s quickly blindsided by the idea of love and family and romance that she’s gunhoe about a getaway wedding just her and the man she kisses every Christmas under the mistletoe.

But Mitt and Tinsley are thrust in a battle of wills they don’t know either one could win. Tinsley is determined to win her husband’s love and affection, but Mitt is also determined not to fall for the wife that sets him on fire.

It’s a must read this holiday season. I received an arc copy for an honest and voluntary review.

A date that goes different than expected, a Christmas nana, a Christmas wish, and a meet cute... and that's just in the first 50 pages! This book made me swoon as a kiss under the mistletoe sets off a chain reaction of a whirlwind romance... or so it seems. The twists and turns as our grumpy Mr. Morgan tries desperately to deny his love and Mrs. Morgan brattily tries to get him to concede to what she believes to be her way out are unexpected and at times filled with spice.

I am in love with Tinsley and Mitt. If I could live in their universe just to watch them through the paparazzi lens, I would dive in head first. The absolute mayhem of meeting under the mistletoe and then getting married within 24 hours makes me wish I could do my love story over again. As the book drew to a close, I found myself wishing I would be able to keep peeking in their lives.

Breanne Bergie has definitely made a puddle out of me. I think she's even made a puddle of one grumpy Mr. Morgan. I look forward to many wonderful books and spicy scenes from her.

The first words I spoke after finishing this book included "Well that's one use for a candy cane."

The first 70 pages felt like a fever dream. I wasn't sure what to make of it and was starting to think I wouldn't enjoy the rest of their whirlwind romance but when they get home and the plot twist twists, IT FREAKING TWISTS!!!!! The only way I can think to describe it is like a beat drop in a song. Frantic build up when you just know something is going to happen AND THEN IT DOES! Flip switched and no return.

After that - screams - it gets really good. I mean, alternative uses for icicles and candy canes aside, the spice is as spicy as you expect from a Breanne Bergie romance and the drama is high quality. The power struggle. The mischief. The rescues. All so good. There is one itty bitty detail that I still have questions about but it doesn't really affect the plot, other than I was expecting a major blow up if my suspicions turned out to be correct. But we still got a very necessary confrontation that made me very happy.

I finished this book in a day!

It was such a brilliant book, Tinsley, a party planner is dumped on Christmas Eve by her boyfriend. She then meets a mysterious older woman who gifts her a magical ornament to make a wish on.
Tinsley wishes to be married, she meets her mysterious stranger who she’s been smooching under the mistletoe every Christmas Eve for the last few years who asks her to marry him! But is this all too good to be true?

This book broke my heart on multiple occasions only to mend it back together. I loved the festive feel of the book and the main characters, Tinsley was so strong and stubborn and I was here for it!

Our MMC Mitt is mysterious, gorgeous and absolutely obsessed with our girl Tinsley.

When I say I was hooked from the moment I started this book I’m not kidding!! A definite recommendation for anyone!

Tropes:
- marriage of convenience
- who did this to you?
- he falls first
- forced proximity
- holiday
- grumpy/sunshine

I was so excited to get the opportunity to read an early copy of this book. Grumpy sunshine is one of my favorite tropes and this one did not disappoint.

We open on Christmas Eve with Tinsley Kingsley, an event planner from New York, who expects a proposal from her boyfriend when he invites her to a fancy restaurant. Unfortunately her hopes are dashed when he breaks up with her instead. So she rushes off to the annual Christmas party that she planned and runs right into Mitt Morgan. Every year, they’ve met under the mistletoe and shared a passionate kiss, but this year he has a new proposal.

Mitt Morgan needs a wife to appease his father and the woman he wants is the one he meets each year under the mistletoe. He whisks her away for a whirlwind wedding, but once they come back to New York reality shatters Tinsley’s illusions about the marriage. Mitt says it’s only business between them, but she is sure that there’s more to the grumpy businessman than meets the eye.

I really enjoyed Mitt’s grumpy demeanor and the moments when we saw his softer side especially when he called her his angel. I absolutely loved Tinsley’s sass and their banter. I do wish that we had gotten a little more from Mitt’s perspective to understand how he ended up under the mistletoe year after year and some more of his thoughts. I didn’t think this was a super spicy book since it only had a few scenes, but those scenes were hot.

If you’re looking for a quick holiday read with a little tension and fun spicy scenes then definitely check this one out.

“Insult her again, and I’ll make you my bitch in sixty seconds.”

- Billionaire
- Marriage of Convenience
- Temperature Play
- Grumpy/Sunshine
- Groveling
- He Falls First

Mistletoe Missus should definitely be on your holiday TBR! I was hooked from the first chapter! Mitt and Tinsley’s journey is definitely an emotional one, but one I loved nonetheless.

Meeting the same stranger under the mistletoe for a swoon worthy kiss every year is about to turn extra magical! Tinsley is sure she’s found the one, only to find out Mitt proposed with an ulterior motive. But will Mitt be able to contain his true feelings to appease his ruthless father?

The chemistry between Mitt and Tinsley is addicting. I love that she stands up for herself and fights for the things she wants. Mitt had me second guessing my thoughts on him for a minute, but overall, I love him! He just needed a stubborn redhead to help him through life!

The perfect steamy christmas book for the season!

When I tell you Mitt (the MMC ) can warm his mittens anywhere he wants on me at anytime, anywhere! phew the possessive grumpy man that he is good lawd!

So this story centers around Tinsley our FMC Who gets dumped rather publicially by her than long time boyfriend Beau. Tinsley is a grown woman with a proven career and is ready to settle down and find a man that wants her and wants a family. Enter Mitt our MMC and her yearly mistletoe man. He swoops in all swoon worthy carts her away for an immediate marriage. Seems like everything is going Tinsley;s way, until the shoe drops.

You gotta read this wild ride that’s packed with Christmas magic where the grumpy grinch’s heart grows three times its size and all for his “WIFE’

Screaming out the wife trope in this one ! Also THAT CANDY CANE …..👀

I give this a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a 🌶️🌶️🌶️ cause the spice was so nice like spiked hot chocolate!

Mistletoe Missus ARC Review

Okay *breathes deeply* sooo this book was a wholea*s ride! The author took a multi book series or at least a 1000+ page novel and crammed it into 280 pages! The action starts immediately on the first page of the book amd doesnt stop until the last page, and even with all that action there are soooo many things missing because of how fast paced it was! The book was entertaining i’m not gonna deny it and for a girl whose favorite hobby is watching hallmark movies because of how ridiculously impossible they are, i actually enjoyed the book because its basically that! I wouldve loved to see this whole story develop more and in depth but it was a fun ride. The spice is there and the freak on gets freaky lol. Overall fun read if you have some time you wanna kill or have a palate cleanser!

Thankful for the ARC for this book!

In this book we meet Mit and Tinsley. Mit very much wants to be in control. Tinsley is an extremely independent woman. Fresh out of a break up, Tinsley meets Mit under the mistletoe where they’ve met before. With a quick proposal and marriage, Tinsley finds herself subjected to her unruly father in law. Immediately this book gave me very “50 Shades” vibes. Ultimately the book made me want to keep reading but consistently was just missing something. I think I wanted more about Mit’s background and why his relationship is the way it is with his father. Tinsley often gives in to Mit and his ways. Mit sometimes doesn’t know if he wants to be kind and loving or a jerk like his father. It made me almost hate him. I wasn’t a huge fan, but think I would give another book a try.

I was absolutely excited to be able to ARC read this wonderful, steamy Christmas book!

The book starts with meeting Tinsley Kingsley. She is on a date with her boyfriend thinking he is going to propose. All things change when he instead breaks up with her.

She then decides to go to a Christmas event that she had planned. Upon there she makes a wish on a ornament. At the event not long later enter comes the mysterious Mr Mitt, a man who she has kissed every year under the Mistletoe.

Mr Mitt gives her a proposition that can change her life. Upon her acceptance she is whisked away into a new life. She thinks things will be better but that is not what happens.

This book will have you on a roller coaster ride of epic proportions! It is a must read though!!

Mistletoe Missus is a great holiday read, this is also a perfect case of "when opposites attract". We have Tinsley, a strong and independent (and sassy) event planning business owner and then we have Mitt, a grumpy (turns teddy bear for her), cut throat big shot attorney. On Christmas Eve, both of their lives drastically change ( thanks mostly, to some plot twisting happening) and they end up together. Mitt and Tinsley go through a lot of ups and downs in a short period and we also have some action. Plus lots of spice 🌶️, they were both interesting characters to read about and watch how they both learn to grow for each other.

This was a short and sweet, spicy, action filled book with a lot of banter and strong will's. I definitely recommend giving Mistletoe Missus a read 😊

I have loved every book that breanne has written and this continues that streak..
I wanted to bang mitt's head against a wall in some of this book,but when you read through his pov,u could understand why he was doing what he was doing and by the end it showed that he was willing to do anything to protect tinsley...
My heart hurt for Tinsley in parts of this book,espcially when she was set up to see mitt doing something that shattered her heart..
I would personally of liked mitt to grovel abit more,but that's just me and I understand why Tinsley forgave him so quickly though
Mitts dad I'm glad he got what he deserved and that Tinsley and mitt got the hea they deserved..
That epilogue was just 🥵.I will never look at candy canes the same.

Breanne Bergie made the ultimate grumpy/sunshine Christmas novel. Tinsley is the perfect ray of sunshine who meets a seemingly perfect man who sweeps her off her feet with the perfect proposition after her a$$hole boyfriend breaks up with her.

Everything on their wedding trip away is going absolutely perfect. He spoils her with many expensive surprises, but when they get back to his house, he changes completely, and we're left (along with Tinsley) with emotional whiplash from her ever changing moods. The guy she thought was so perfect is a complete grump.

At first, I thought this book was going to be a cute little Christmas book. But I should've known with a Breanne Bergie book that I was in for a huge surprise of emotions, smut, and all the good stuff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes:
• arranged marriage
• billionaire


The dedication was all I needed to be able to tell I was going to absolutely love every second of this book if I could give it more stars I would it was a 10/10 for me. The spice was 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. I absolutely loved the main female character Tinselly her stubborn ness was everything. The male main character Mitt deep down had a heart of gold and kept to his promise to always protect tinselly was everything. There relationship all started from a kiss under the mistletoe, which then lead to an arrange marriage. Stop what ever your doing go add this book to your TBR.
