Christian musician, Sebastian Mayer, arrives in Mistletoe Meadows for Quentin and Melody's wedding. A disastrous trip including lost luggage and a body search at security sends him to the variety store to replace his toiletries. All he wants is to relieve the pounding in his head, play a little bluegrass, and find a “plus one” to ward off any matchmaking attempts by his friends. Then Holly Ferguson, the cashier from a local variety store, accuses him of theft, and his bad day gets worse.
Can a stolen moment under the summer mistletoe turns everything around?

This is a great short story, very short, but sweet. This story falls after the novella, Mistletoe Melody. Sebastin, a musician and friend of Quentin's, is in town for Quentin and Melody's wedding but has had quite a day, including lost luggage by the airline. He meets a cute shop clerk and after a misunderstanding is looking forward to seeing her at the wedding. Very fun ending.
I didn't realize this little story was so heavily connected to the author's main series, which probably makes it better if you've read some of the other books and know who everyone is. I was able to follow things, but it was just a lot of barely-seen but obviously significant characters to keep straight without a previous introduction. ;) I did feel sorry for Sebastian's predicament and liked Holly. :) And I liked the fact that the author was content to just start their relationship rather than trying to turn it into something too big too soon.
Content--a bit of kissing; some mentions of underwear (embarrassing but not inappropriate)
A short story which is set in the summer, but in a festive themed town. When Sebastian arrives in town for a wedding after a nightmare flight he finds the shop girl Holly to be a welcome distraction.
This is a clean romance which is a nice read but is very short. Well written but due to the short length of 15 pages I didn't feel we get to really connect to the characters. But it's an enjoyable one if you are looking for a festive story with your coffee break.
A very short story about Sebastian, a Christian musician who flies into town to attend his friend's wedding but the airline loses his luggage. He is forced to purchase the basics from Holly, who is temporarily helping her grandparents run their store. He accidentally forgets to pay for an item and she nearly has him arrested. The story is a quick read and interconnected with other books in the author's series but it can be read as a standalone. A charming book.
This short story left me smiling. I read the first book in the series, and this one bridges the gap between that and the next story, but you don't have to read either of the books to appreciate this quick and sweet Christmasy read.
This author and I share a publisher, but I read this on my own and decided to leave my honest review.
The story starts out rather tough on Sebastian making it a challenging read for me. Once passed the introduction, the story became more interesting and more readable. Holly is awesome character although she is definitely not the woman pictured on the cover according to her description.
Can't wait for more!!! This is a charming micro-read. I loved this little teaser from Stacey Weeks! It's just enough to whet my appetite for more. I've preordered her upcoming release, Mistletoe Mission, to learn more of the story.
Young guy, flies in to attend a wedding. Airline lost his luggage. The guy, goes to a store, to purchase essentials. Ends up putting unpaid boxers in his carry-on bag. He meets the clerk again, at the wedding. They meet under the mistletoe.
This short story is packed full! It was a nice sequel to go from her first book and then to lead to the second! I had times where I laughed right out loud! I found this was a very fun read! Who doesnt love a story based in mistletoe meadows!
This was a preview of the real book Under the Summer Mistletoe and I can't wait to read more books by Stacey Weeks. This small book was great, full of wit and humor! A very refreshing read indeed!
Sebastian flew in to play for his friend’s wedding. The airport loses his luggage, which causes him to meet Holly at her place of work. Holly doesn’t seem interested in Sebastian right away. The story was very short and to the point. I didn’t feel a connection, but still enjoyed the read.
This is a very short story. It is very cute though and does a good job introducing the town. I feela.like the stage is set for the full length books. I am glad I read it. Clean and fun.
I didn't get the whole book. It was like one chapter just to get you interested and then it just stopped. Was really disappointed as I would have liked to read it.
