A saccharine sweet holiday story that has an identity crisis, MEATLOAF AND MISTLETOE didn’t ring the Christmas bells.
Bells Pass is the small town where this story takes place. Ivy inherits a diner and house where she and her BFF, Shep, move in together. I won’t continue the storyline because the publisher blurb is adequate. Instead, I’ll share what I found noteworthy, good or bad. Here we go.
Ivy is super human. No one could accomplish all the benevolent events she pulled off to perfection in the time mentioned.
Shep has an absurd job for someone who’s a brittle diabetic, fiction or not.
The spiritual aspects are confusing and some are just wrong, misrepresented.
Care for seniors, community spirit and participation, care for the homeless - excellent representation. This town of 4000 people does more than major cities.
Normally, I’m able to go with the fictional flow but the timeline of events and depth to which “all is well” is applied was too much. Were there an element of magical realism, it would be so much better.
With some much needed editing, this could easily be an Hallmark movie. Friends do make their way to lovers, you’ll need to get the next book in the series to go to the wedding, but there’s an happy ending, just the same📚

The title made me laugh and I thought it would be nice to read Christmas books from multiple genres. I was expecting cheesy Hallmark movie with this, so I did have a low bar set going in to this novel.. but this may have been worse than I thought possible. The dialogue was just so bad. It was speeches about how virtuous everyone was. Blah.

Nice story but too long. Needs at least 20% trimmed out. Couple of times I skimmed, other times I had to put it down. Could be a lot better.

Mettner has a gentle voice
Two Christmas books. Two love affairs (that end in happy marriages) between scarred and insecure humans. One small town, a diner with a difference, inspired by the legendary Florence Nightingale.
Likeable and insecure, our first protagonist must take over from her employer in the Nightingale Diner. She doesn’t believe she can win love from her childhood friend and knight in shining armour. He has similar doubts (not for the same reason) but takes up the challenge. Her past, especially her mother, prevents her from thinking clearly.
In Hotcakes & Holly two employees in the same diner, a waitress and the cook, experience their personal brand of heartache. She because of her horrendous childhood etc. Moreover, she’s ill and depressed because of an untreated thyroid defect. It takes trials and tribulations for the two to find their balance.
Both books are touching and heart-warming. Ms Mettner writes easy-going, lilting prose that fits her theme. Two enjoyable reads.

Friends to Lovers is my most favorite romance trope, and Meatloaf and Mistletoe by Katie Mettner is a great representation of this type of romance. I absolutely loved how the town came together to support Shep and Ivy, not just in their love story, but more importantly with their work and dreams. Mettner writes a magical town that makes me want to move to and be a part of it.
Meatloaf and Mistletoe takes place near Christmas and Mettner includes just the right amount of decorating and celebrating. There will be times when I read a Christmas tale and it almost seems like an afterthought or more of a marketing ploy.
When it comes to the physical relationship there was a lot of kissing and exploring, but the one big sex scene was behind closed doors. This isn’t a clean romance, but it’s what I would consider more of a sweet romance. If you were looking for lots of hot and heavy bedroom scenes, you won’t find them here.
The one part that did make me skim so I could get on with the story… and you may completely enjoy it though… was all the professing of love. While it was wonderful that they had finally shared their true feelings with each other after 20 years, it was a lot… for me. Would this stop me from reading more by Mettner, no it wouldn’t because her characters and the town are so well written. But since this is a review I did want to include it.

Meatloaf and Mistletoe by Katie Mettner is a beautiful, slow-burn, friends to lovers’ story. Set in a small town, everybody knows everyone’s business, and the entire tight-knit community roots for Ivy and Shep. Mettner delivers all the right feels in this story: friendship, love, hope, trust, perseverance, independence, and reliance just to name a handful.
Ivy had a difficult childhood which accounts for her intimacy issues as an adult. Her mother was a prostitute who died when Ivy was still in high school. Still, Ivy is a kind and giving person. Shep has always been her rock. He and his family looked out for Ivy and somewhere along the line, Shep fell head over heels in love with her. He is just the sweetest person.
Just before Christmas Ivy is given an unexpected gift, her boss has gifted her the diner in which she works. During this same time, Shep gets the job promotion he’s worked hard for. Now if they can only get their love life in order. Enter the mistletoe.
Meatloaf and Mistletoe is a cute story with likable and relatable characters and a fabulous small town Christmas setting. I highly recommend this book.

The story was a contemporary Christmas romance with a little bit of spice. The author includes characters with flaws and disabilities and how they cope with those challenges. Lots of introspection by the characters which makes a story drag for me, but others may prefer it!

Worthy of the Hallmark channel...
Honestly, not at all what I expected. It was extremely "sweet" (as in painfully G-rated) and went on forEVER. I got to the 29% mark and was getting impatient. By 56%, I debated bailing. By 78%, I gritted my teeth and soldiered on to the bitter end.
Now on the verge of a diabetic coma, I'm free. If you like your books slow and saccharine, this one's for you.

You can’t have lines like “I love the way you feel inside me” and then not give us all the dirty details. 🥲

Love, mystery, and delicious diner food!
Rating: 4/5
Oh my goodness this book was adorable. From the very start, I found myself head over heels for Ivy and her sweet (if a little naive) personality. I could have done with a little less Shepard - especially since it was made pretty clear from the beginning that Ivy and Shepard were made for each other.
Inheriting the diner, exploring her prospects past just being a small town waitress, and becoming a staple of her community made Ivy shine. Her intelligence, her kindness, and her propensity for making those around her feel good were endearing and really made the book shine.
Meatload and Mistletoe is an amazing holiday feel-good story, and the perfect book to curl up with on a cold evening in front of the fireplace or under some seriously comfy blankets.

Meatloaf and Mistletoe
A most unusual name for a story but when you break it down in the story, it tells you a lot about the content. Two major factors, Ivy’s first real kiss from Shep under mistletoe and Shep’s love of meatloaf that Ivy serves in the diner. This story is really great, and the outpouring of community involvement from Ivy. There is an underlying reason for her doing all the things for the community. You will enjoy moving through the love of Ivy and Shep.

Great Book
Great characters, like you are living in the community with them. Plot and story line was excellent and well developed.

A comfy and delightful -- but predictable -- lifelong BFFs-to-more holiday romance. Small town setting with all those friendly and unconventional characters reminding me of the Hallmark holiday movies that add cheer and goodwill each year.
Follows the same old/same old patterns of the usual short and sweet candy cane and kisses storylines -- only this time it's meatloaf as the headliner! Great for a short break between cooking, cleaning and wrapping, etc.

Meatloaf And Mistletoe: A Bells Pass Novel by Katie Mettner
Shep and Ivy have been friends since childhood. Ivy had a tough childhood, one that no child should have to go through. Shep had the complete opposite. His life was a lot easier than hers in so many ways. Shep has secretly been in love with Ivy for a long time. They both have bad luck at dating, never able to find true love. As their adult friendship grows, it is apparent they have strong feeling for each other.
Although she has intimacy issues (due to her childhood) Shep is willing to overlook that he is determined and build a loving romantic relationship with her. When a mysterious stranger keeps appearing Shep is worried for Ivy's safety. Shep will do anything to make sure she is safe and win her heart forever.
A fantastic original story told in alternating voices, Ivy and Shep's. They are both a bit flawed, yet so perfect for each other. I really loved that they were childhood friends and have a chance at adult love. I wanted Ivy to be free from her past, and Shep as well (as he had some inner demons he is battling). Meatloaf And Mistletoe: A Bells Pass Novel is more than just a romance, it has mystery, secrets, friendship and love. I highly recommend to those who love a great sweet romance.

Christmas book 2 of the szn!!!
Mediocre and the relationship between Shep and Ivy did not feel like it had any sparks. They went from bffs to living together to going steady to let’s get married in like a month-ish. And two new careers like woah take a breath (lol asthma joke).

This series can help readers relax during this very busy season. I enjoyed Meatloaf and Mistletoe very much.
December 15, 2021
Ivy and Shep have been best friends since childhood. They've seen each other through bad times and good. Secretly, both have been in love with the other, but they've been afraid of ruining their friendship if romantic love failed them, and both prefer friendship over losing everything. Thus, they don't explore their romantic feelings for each other...but it is getting increasingly difficult for them to hide their feelings for each other.
The book chronicles their journey. Will that journey end up on forever love, in the dissolution of their friendship, or will they stay stagnated where they are?
The only thing I find not realistic is that it's very, very gushy about small town living. It's painted as an idyllic life where everyone knows everyone else and they all look out for one another selflessly. I grew up in a small town, and like Ivy, was considered to be not only the wrong side of the tracks (figuratively speaking in my case), but as the source of all bad things that befell my family, none of which were my doing. In fact, when someone was sick, I rushed home from school to help. I only stayed on the straight and narrow so I could get an education and LEAVE FOREVER. I did. Many, many people among my classmates who had the town against them as well, didn't leave. Many ended up in a life of crime, some while still in school (when you get blamed for everything that goes wrong around you, too many decide they might as well live out the town's opinion of them instead of getting a job, working honestly, and trying to do the impossible - get someone to give them a break...or try getting a job in a different town and leaving - trust me, to this day, there is only one person in my hometown who ever gave me a break in my current life).
In my experience, small towns, to be blunt, suck. Thus, small town romance novels that glorify small town life are bad enough. When they get gushy - like this one - they detract from the story. But that's just me. Mom liked living there, which meant at least they only called her names behind her back, usually - from the time we moved there - where they could be pretty sure I heard them. So I appeal to authors: Don't over-glorify ssmall town life. It sounds false, esp to those of us whose sole aim was to escape that environment because of the pain it caused.

A heartwarming love story
Meatloaf and Mistletoe is the first book I’ve read by Katie Mettner, and I look forward to more. With mistletoe in the title and a glance at the other cozy stories by this author, I knew I’d found a feel good Christmas story. Meatloaf and Mistletoe didn’t disappoint. The story is set in Belles Pass, a charming, small town in Michigan and the perfect location for a Christmas romance to unfold.
But what lured me in and kept me reading was the realistic characters. Ivy and Shep weren’t the typical boy meets girl. Instead, they were life-long, best friends, both in love––with each other––and fighting their attraction to keep their friendship. Mettner skillfully reveals Ivy and Shep’s discovery of undeniable love as she weaves their heartfelt story, allowing readers to experience the romance as it unfolds. I highly recommend Meatloaf and Mistletoe to anyone looking for a feel good love story.

Let me thank the author, Katie Mettner for her generosity in allowing me a free download of her book, Meatloaf and Mistletoe. Katie is simply a kind person. I’m sure she gives away more books and downloads than you could imagine, but by doing so opens up other worlds to her readers. This was no exception and the least I can do is say how much I enjoyed this glimpse of small town life and wonderful characters that inhabit Bells Pass! Shep and Ivy are kind-hearted people, much like Katie herself, if a bit confused about their relationship. It seems the residents of their town know better than they do about the contents of their hearts. I really enjoyed this quick read and will be looking at others in the series.

A sweet start to the holiday readings
I loved this book. This was the first by the author, but I’ve already pressed the follow button. I loved the small town setting, and the down to earth quirky characters. I loved the feelings so real! Ivy and Shep were characters I’d love to spend time with. There love and friendship so perfect! It is what everyone should search for! And, I’ll admit, it resonated with me as it reminds me of my own awesome relationship with my forever husband and friend! Now I’m rushing off to find the next books! Happy reading to all who find this great book.

Romance rules Bells Pass
Meatloaf and Mistletoe, a novel set in the fictional town of Bells Pass, Michigan, is a romantic novel of lifelong friends who, try as they might to avoid it, are starting to have feelings for each other. The book takes an unconventional route to pairing its two protagonists. Rather than the typical “couples meet, couples part, couples meet again,” this novel spends more time examining the motivations of its characters.
This novel is more a vignette of life from Thanksgiving to Christmas than a traditional romantic arc of first love. Meatloaf and Mistletoe has depth and heart to spare, and of course a cozy, small-town feel to it.

Wonderful story
I loved this story, but not only for the friends to lovers part, though Ivy and Shep are adorable, but this story has so much more. The love of community, friendship, and the love of a small town. It is a wonderful read.

Terrific!!!
Sometimes slow, but worth the time to read it. Everyone will connect with the people in the story. Will be surprised by the end. Don't let it go undead.

Sweet and hot
And talk about a slow burn. When you’ve been in love since you were 6 years old it’s hard to tell your best friend there more

What a breath of fresh air!
I loved that this has a holiday theme but really it's the the story that was the real stand out. This should be a must read for this year.
