Blue Collar Alphas #7
Under the Mistletoe
As the head of the ER at Snowpass Mountain Hospital, Aurora Snow hardly has time to decorate, much less be wooed by every mouthy carpenter who lands in her emergency room this holiday season. But you won't find Declan Callaghan on Santa's nice list, and the devilish dimples and twinkle in his eye leave Aurora wondering what it would be like to be at the top of this c@cky carpenter’s naughty list. Together, they’re the biggest natural disaster to hit this Rocky Mountain town, but that won’t stop Declan from trying to win the heart of the sassy, curvy caregiver who’s left an indelible tattoo on his soul. He’s going to have to move mountains to get Aurora under the mistletoe, but maybe a sprinkle of Christmas magic is all they need to find their way to each other—and to everlasting love. Grab your jingle bells and hold on tight, Declan and Aurora are about to light up your holiday! Stuffed full of festive cheer, cheesy one-liners, Christmas confessions, and a lifetime of love, this classic love story with a dirty twist is sure to leave you wishing for your own cocky carpenter under the mistletoe!

This is one of the best stories that I have read by Aria Cole. I just love it when two people from different backgrounds and with different mentality mix. And the result is perfect.
“A man takes care of what’s his, and you, Aurora, you’re mine.”
Aurora Snow is a doctor, the Head of ER at Snowpass Mountain Hospital and Declan Callaghan is a carpenter who first becomes her patient and later becomes her lover.
The beginning of their story happens during Christmas time.

It's a sweet and fun holiday story.
It's about Declan and Aurora.
He pounded a nail through his thumb and went to ER. She's the doctor who took care of him and at that same night, everything changed for them.
She doesn't believe in love because of her mom hopping from one man to the next but Declan won't let her go. He's so sweet!
It has nice epilogues but I want more.

December 17, 2017
Declan, a carpenter, has a slight problem, which is why he's sitting in the ER, complaining about the wait...the nail in his thumb making four minutes seem like forever. However, the pain is worth it when he meets his doctor.
Aurora, head of the ER, is used to cranky patients, and has no problem taking care of them, while not putting up with their bad attitudes. But, the sexy man she's currently treating speaks to her...body and soul.
Declan knows immediately that Aurora will be his, and doesn't hesitate to start his campaign to win her heart.
Aurora has never known or seen true love, just her mom's version of going from man to man, and she's recently married for the seventh time.
Declan must prove their love is real, and nothing like her mom's version, or anyone else's. Aurora knows she feels something strong for Declan, but the doubts won't leave her alone.
Can Declan show Aurora they're meant to be together? Will Aurora accept the future Declan wants so badly to give her? Is a HEA possible?
One-click now and follow along as two people begin falling in love and must decide what happens next.

Neither the H nor the h worked for me. I was questioning too many things. I guess it was one smut too many, I'll stick with one between HP 🤷🏻♀️

October 27, 2019"Under the Mistletoe" is the story of Aurora and Declan.
This is the story of an ER doctor, who is super busy, until a sexy patient comes and hits on her, coerces her to go out and eventually seduces her to become his woman.
I just can't with doctor-patient romances. Too cringey, and kinda unprofessional.
Unrated as couldn't get past the second chapter.

Ice ice baby... i just had to throw that out since Declan nicknamed Aurora Ice queen, i did enjoy the playful banter these two had and i didn't have to wait long for them to take that step.. this story is down and dirty from the sex scenes and makes your heart melt with the romance ;)
Aurora is a boss ass B.. i love her personality the way she carries herself the stubbornness and her little push away from her man but i got her side growing up with a mother who married again and again.. Enjoyed our ALPHA!! He knew what he wanted and made sure he got it but did respect his girl when she needed space for a second lol.

Great holiday read.

Christmas is about to get a heck of a lot hotter with Aria Cole's newest novella that is sure to get you in the spirit and leave you all warm inside. Under the Mistletoe is safe, easy, sweet, fun and all kinds of naughty delivered in perfect fashion and timing for the holiday season.
From the moment they meet in the ER, everything changes for Aurora and Declan. She can't get enough of the cocky bastard with the witty charm and he can't get enough of the fiesty, sexy doctor. And what they find is a lot more than a quick er visit and undeniable chemistry.... they find love and possibly forever.

Under the Mistletoe is a sexy, sizzling hot novella that will definitely get you into the holiday spirit. Declan and Aurora are fantastic for each other –he is an alpha male carpenter while she is a sassy Head DR of the ER . They had this instant connection while she was fixing his wound. Declan knows immediately that Aurora will be his and immediately does everything he can to prove that he is the man for her. Aurora is leery because she has never met a good man in her life, based on her mom's version of going from man to man and how her mom has never settled, being now that her mom is married for the 7th time.
Can Declan prove to Aurora that he is the right man for her ? Aurora knows there is something good and right but will she give him the chance to prove himself? This passionate and hot novella was a sweet love story that added to the holiday Christmas cheer .
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

A great dirty Christmas Novella to sink your teeth into! Cole, as usual, does not disappoint with her feisty female leads and her alpha male characters that melt your heart and make you hot under the collar at the same time. I will for sure be picking this one up more than once when I am looking for something short and hot to read on those lonely winter nights.
Mistletoe focuses on Dr. Aurora and her late night ER escapades with one patient, Decland. He is for sure a patient to go down in the record books. No matter how hard Aurora tries to forget how Declan make her feel, neither he or her libido will let her. Decland is instantly captivated by Aurora upon meeting. Her feisty attitude and smoking body have him coming back from more than just a checkup after his ER visit. These two make Christmas magic happen.
This is a hot insta-love story that shows us that love always shows up in the strangest places.

I was pulled right into this short story. The story has laughs, heat, naughty fun, and insta-love.
This is Aurora and Declan’s story. Aurora does not have time to decorate or be ready for Christmas. But Declan has Aurora that don’t involve decorating but does involve a lot of playing around. Can Declan get Aurora to give him a chance? Aurora is determined to resist Declan but he is more determined that she does not. Can these two get a chance to fall or will it take a Christmas miracle to get Aurora to want to spend time with Declan? Once they start to fall nothing is going to stop these two from being naughty together.
I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book.

UNDER THE MISTLETOE is a sexy standalone holiday novella under the A Blue Collar Alpha Series. It's about a doctor and a carpenter who became her patient in ER when he accidentally hammered a nail on his thumb while putting up Christmas decorations at his mom's house. It was love at first sight for Declan Callaghan and he pursued the "Ice Queen" , Dr Aurora Snow, until he not only was able to decorate her house, but also made her finally believe in love. I super enjoyed this book ! Declan was an adorable caveman who was relentless until Aurora couldn't resist his charm. This scorching hot novella was a beautiful love story that added to the holiday cheer !
I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.

So I have always loved Aria Cole's short reads. This one is great. She always has a ton of heat in her books and this one is right there with all of them. A great short Christmas setting. Tons of Alpha male and insta-love going on as well. Some really fun one liners and funny words as well. Loved it. Great short read for a work night for sure.

Under the Mistletoe is such an enjoyable Christmas standalone novella. Aria has created both a entertaining plot and characters who are witty and relatable. Declan is a caveman, Aurora is his ice queen. The combination is flawless in making this book delectable.
The insta-love romance is fun, swoony and has it's sexy moments. It is a total laugh, quick five star read.

I need some Mistletoe and a construction worker if this is what I can look forward too! This insta love was so hot. I just love a hard working man and this alpha man was yummy! It was such a great a great read. This story does not disappoint.

Received as an ARC for a honest review.
This was a quick read. Loved the insta-love story between these two. Would have loved an epilogue that showed them a little more out instead of just a couple of months.

Declan was over the top fantastic. Aurora was adorable and spunky. The carpenter and the doctor meet in the hospital after he nails his thumb. One look and he never lets her go! An absolute must read!
December 20, 2017
Too INSTA-LOVE for my tastes. And some of the things the hero said just didn't fit since he only met the woman 2 days ago.
If you're into the insta-romance thing then you'll definitely enjoy. Plus it's smut-filled, very hot.

I loved this holliday romance! The story was candy cane sweet and so pure at heart that made my sigh and giggle in a short lenghth book full of feels and NOT lacking in the hot department. Naughty elves and the men that get hot for their striped tights are my thing (it seems so).

Another perfect Aria Cole book! Just what I needed to get into the holiday spirit!
