Mistletoe in Park City is a great holiday story in a beautiful setting. The characters feel relatable and genuine, as I found myself with some of the same hopes and dreams as the characters. What really stands out is the balance of sweet without being cheesy. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to curl up with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. I cannot wait for the final book in the series!
There’s a new wedding venue, a couple of weddings, a new city festival, hopes, schemes, a bit of matchmaking, and plenty of emotion on this return to Park City. This is a wonderful continuation of the Christmas in the Canyons series. The Starling family traditions and connections are delightful, touching, and always memorable - this series is a great Christmas read!
This series gets better and better! I was surprised we didn't get to live through the remodeling of the cozy inn but oh my! There is enough going on that we didn't miss anything. Cindy and Jack are the sweetest couple...Jack has turned into the most loving and thoughtful soon to be groom. If you're like me, I got a bit put off at Cindy's determination to have the best Wedding Venue in Park City. So much so she seems to lose sight of her own special day-almost to the point of putting the inn before her soon to be husband, Jack. You will have to read this extremely well written and exciting story. MJ has been unlike her bubbly self, she is sad that Matt hadn't returned as he promised and the year was almost up. The other huge story is Benny's Mom Carrie, is worried that Marshall 's clean living 'bakery' is taking away a lot of her business. But Carrie is so attracted to Marshall, that she blushes and seems like a young girl with her first crush any time she gets near the former football player, single Dad, Marshall. She thinks he is just yummy. Marshall's daughter Olivia is now Benny's best friend and these eleven years old kids are too intelligent for words, together they come up with a plan to get their parents together. Of course Benny has to drag his Great-Grandpa in on the plans, which we know from past experiences, it will not turn out as planned! With Cindy and Jack's wedding on track for just before Christmas, the Mistletoe Festival that Benny and Olivia got Grumpy Santa involved in and Marshall and Carrie's attraction heating up,and MJ's loneliness waiting for Matt to come back....what could go wrong?? There are lots and Lots going on in Book 3 of Mistletoe in Park City. Authors Hope Holloway and Cecelia Scott are once again giving us a Christmas story to remember!! Another must read, and I can't wait for the next installment in the lives of this wonderful family!! Merry Christmas!
Another wonderful book in the series! The characters are delightful and the story is well told. I have truly enjoyed reading these books during the current Christmas season. Can't wait to read the next one!

We are back in Park City for the third book in this fabulous series. The story is moving forward as the new wedding venue is complete. A new festival and family traditions. The joys of the season.
Snowberry Weddings becomes a reality with its first wedding, matchmaking, and a health scare. The families are reminded that life is precious, as life gives us a roller coaster of emotions. But the love of family pulls us together to even out the drops.
I am looking forward to the fourth book as we tie up all the loose threads of this wonderful holiday series.
Thank you to the Authors for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.
The third book in this delightful series and personally I think the best. It's a year since the last story & big changes have taken place at Snowberry Lodge. The main lodge has been renovated & a wedding venue added. The cabins have also been upgraded. Romance is in the air has Cindy Kessler is soon to be remarried to her ex Jack. Young Benny & his friend Olivia scheme to match make their single parents Gracie & Marshall. And of course we have great grandpa Red thrown into the mix, kudos to the authors for furnishing him with some hilarious dialogue. Can't wait for the final book in the series.
“Mistletoe in Park City” is the third book in the Christmas in the Canyons series. This delightful family is preparing for an upcoming family wedding in their new wedding venue and they are dedicated to honoring their family traditions. There are two young meddlers working together to do a little matchmaking with their parents. They are so mischievous and smart! Friends, family, and most of all love fill the pages of this story. Looking forward to the conclusion to the story in book four of this series. Loved this special Christmas story!
Who knew mistletoe would have a big impact on the people living in Park City. This story was full of so many exciting things and unexpected surprises. Two young geniuses sure do make it all worth it. Their scheme starts out as a simple idea that ends up causing some hurtful words and then it becomes a very interesting idea. The Starling family has a lot of history that they have been trying to make a point of including it in their future. I laughed, I cried, I sighed and fell in love with the characters.
Mistletoe in Park City by Hope Holloway and Cecelia Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Welcome back to Park City and a new venture for Cindy. Newly renovated Wedding venue, Cindy starts as a wedding planner. And who better than her own wedding to her ex-husband. So happy for her happy ending. But she's not the only bride.
Find out who else is getting married by reading your copy today, as it's release day. Dec 5th. I'm excited for the next book but sad cause it's also the last book In the series.
I have to say that I hope that they add the paperback version.
I was so happy to see where this third book led us. I kept on hoping that Cindy would make the right decision. In the end she did. A wedding can be hard to plan for some people. Having others tell you what you need to do isn’t always a good thing.
I also worried about Red as I read part of the book. I don’t want to go into a lot of detail about that.
I am looking forward to the fourth book and cannot wait to see what happens.
After the surprise windfall at the end of the last book we see everyone a year down the track where the lodge has been spruced up and wedding bells are in the air. There is some fun conspiring going on that involves a gingerbread house as well as hope that another new beginning will happen to keep us on our toes. I just love how this family stays true to their values whether it ruffles feathers or not even with their own family and Olivia and Benny are my absolute faves!
Snowberry lodge is a magical place, may it never be spoiled
This series is chalked full of characters just busting to tell their story, as a matter of fact, generations of them. I've enjoyed every word, every beat of hearts and words of love and not so full of trust, but as in every story - love conquers all! So get a heavy warm coat, a cup of hot cocoa and sit a spell in a very special place.
This is the 3rd book in the Park City series, and it doesn't disappoint. The Starling family is back after the renovation of the inn and getting ready to launch a wedding venue with the first one being their owner and her first love getting a second chance at love. There are two bakeries competing with each other and two determined kids to try to draw their parents together. Very good read!
Again, perfect cozy Christmas vibes. The family gets more likable the longer I’m with them. The skiing vibes have also been turned down a notch in favor of bakery vibes for this book, so I approve of that greatly. Looking forward to reading the last book and seeing everyone’s happily ever after tie up in a nice Christmas bow.
A beautiful and captivating narrative unfolds, crafted with elegant prose that weaves intricate emotions and vivid imagery. The story resonates with depth and sophistication, inviting readers to immerse themselves in its eloquent and carefully constructed language, promising a rich and memorable literary experience.
Loved it! The dynamic between the characters (Benny, Olivia, and Red; Cindy and Jack; Gracie and Marshall) and the plot with twists of intrigue, relationship drama, and fun make this a prefect read. Well done Ladies. Thank you for the ARC copy.
I feel as if I know each character personally. Red and Benny are such a heart-warming pair. Each character’s struggles and joys are incredibly brought to life without being overdone. THIS series has been a delight to read. Can’t wait for the final one!
This is the 3rd installment of a Holiday series all published around the 2025 holiday season! One more to go and I can't wait to finish the family saga surrounding a wonderful dream like Family Lodge.
Really fun characters- especially the kids as another Christmas unfolds in Park City. Family, friendships, angst, drama & love as always, are wrapped up in this delightful story.
These books are the uplifting kind of book. Filled with drama and hope. And happy endings. I want everyone to be happy when this series ends. Keep up the good work.
Heartwarming. Hope renewed for those that have lost the love of their lives. The extraordinary relationship between Red and Benny make this a super fun read
Such a wonderful story to read over Christmas. Some scares but overall romantic. Looking forward to beginning the New Year with the next book. Happy Holidays.
I found this book “okay”. It was a little dry and predictable. Took a while to finish this book because it didn’t catch my interest or poi me in the holiday spirit and rooting for the characters.
