Mistletoe Matchmakers of Clearwater County #4
One More Glance
With Christmas riding in on Santa’s sleigh, and Kali’s home up for sale, there’s a chance Mistletoe will lose one of its darlings… Unless one of its princes can ride to the rescue.
Kali Stanfords has a family legacy wrapped up in taking care of the horses of Mistletoe, Montana. She loves the animals, the simplicity of the life, and the land. In essence, she’s home. Unfortunately, there’s a very real possibility she’s in danger of losing all three when Flynne Wilson decides to put his hat in for the land up for sale.
No matter what happens, Kali can’t lose the land to him. Anyone but him.
Kali has to raise money for a down payment and she already has a tight budget. Add to that the fact that Flynne is rolling in billions and nothing looks good for her plans of keeping her home.
Except… well, except Kali seems to have a Secret Santa who keeps sponsoring the fundraising activities she’s doing. As the deadline gets nearer, Kali starts to fall for the benevolent stranger and she’s willing to walk away from everything to be with him.
Flynne and Kali have been at odds since they were little. Something about each one irritates the other like a fierce flame. As if they’re on an addicting bronco ride, they can’t walk away from the conflict, though, and that isn’t healthy.
He’s determined to do the right thing, but Flynne knows Kali will never let him help her. Kali can never know he’s the money behind her success. If she does, she’s just prideful enough to leave everything behind. Flynne wouldn’t care, except the one thing he wants just happens to be the one woman who wants nothing to do with him.
What if Kali’s Secret Santa is the one guy she can’t stand to be around?
What if Flynne ends up being the one man she can’t be without?

Kali is a headstrong, stubborn woman. She wants to buy the farm she workEd on because of the horses. She does not want handouts or for anyone to help her. I loved Flynne who is part of the matchmaking family in their town and a millionaire in his own right. He knows women see his money and that’s why they go after him. It is funny how Kali and Flynne are always sniping at each other. But is it because they really don’t like each other, or is there more to it and they have feelings? I loved how Flynne did so many things secretly to try and help Kali. Of course many of them came back to bite him. I felt bad for Kali’s best friend Samatha as she was the realtor for the property and got caught in the middle many times. I really enjoyed the book and strongly encourage you to read it. I was given a copy of the book and voluntarily wrote a review.

Oh My, I think this is my favorite of all of the books in this series by far!! Kali was so proud and so independent but she was also a practical woman and she knew deep down that as much as she didn't want to accept help, she was going to have to, because it was just not going to be possible to purchase the property that had been owned by her parents prior to her father losing it in a card game a number of years before they had both died. This is where Flynne Wilson starts to play Secret Santa by making sure she gets an influx of cash without revealing that he is the one generously contributing to her fundraisers, etc. He has to remain secret because normally he and Kali are like oil and water whenever they have to interact with each other. He doesn't know why he wants to make sure that she is able to get the property, especially since he does not know that the property had once been her home. That is something only a select few know about her and Flynne definitely doesn't number as one of those people! What happens when the owner decides to list the property before Kali is anywhere close to having enough for a downpayment, much less enough to buy it outright is funny, sweet, and so very romantic! And Kali's mistrust of Flynne almost causes her to miss out on the best thing to ever happen to her heart!! If you want a book that will make you laugh then cry and will tug at your heartstrings while it is all around heart-warming, then this book is it and it will leave you feeling good long after you have finished it!!

This is a fun addition to the Mistletoe Matchmakers series with Flynne and Kali, characters who were introduced to readers in previous books. Flynne, a handsome and wealthy cowboy who works in the matchmaking business with his family, has no hopes of finding a match for himself--especially not with Kali, a down on her luck, plainspoken, hard-working, stubborn young woman who runs a stable on the neighboring piece of land. They have been at odds for quite a while but lately Flynne has been noticing her and trying to secretly help her as she tries to raise money to buy the property that the stable is on. This is a delightful enemies to love story that will keep you up at night turning the pages. It can be read as a stand alone but I suggest you begin at the start of the series since each book builds on the next. I enjoyed it and recommend it to you! I was entrusted with a copy of this book by the author and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Another great heart pounding romance from Bonnie.R.Paulson. What will Kali have after no money and pride, absolutely nothing as she will loose everything her life has been about, what’s the saying..Pride comes before a fall? Especially when she has a willing man to help her keep everything she has worked for. I actually had conflicted emotions for Flynne, one being he deserves Kali’s animosity and the other a melting heart as he try’s everything he can to save her...it’s hard to go to much into the story past the blurb as anything more I feel will spoil the story for you. One things for sure, the author makes me wish I lived in Mistletoe, Montana as every romance she tells makes me feel the passion of emotions that can bring tears to my eyes. If you like the Romance genre with some secrecy, desperation of one sort or another that can keep you enthralled, hanging onto every word and absolutely enthralled then Bonnie.R.Paulson’s books are for you.

Can a very wealthy man see value in a woman who is soon to be homeless?
Kali is living above the stables in her family’s old home. She runs the stables for the new, absentee owner while living there unbeknownst to the new owner. She is trying desperately to save enough money for a down payment on her family home. Flynne has plenty of money to buy the house out right and gift it to Kali but he knows she would never allow that. She does not want to be a charity case for anyone. Flynne wants desperately to help but is running out of ideas that will allow him to help. What will happen when the time table for the sale is suddenly sped up? This book is part of a series and can be read without previous books but when done that way the book is hard to follow. There are a number of secondary plots from previous books and introductions of plots for future books which can be hard to keep straight. I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Kali is desperately trying to raise the funds to save her home. Her father gambled it away and the current owner has told her he is going to sell.
The townspeople want her to stay and are helping her to raise funds...but she's running out of time.
Flynne Wilson is trying to help, going as far as donating as a Secret Santa, but she needs more money faster. Flynne is helping but the owner moves up the date and Flynne has no choice if he wants her to stay, but to buy the land, but she misunderstands and Flynne has his work cut out for him if he ever is able to get her to marry him.
Plenty of sweet romance, neighbor helping neighbor and angsty misunderstanding for Kali.
Her friends also have side action in their lives, their love lives too.
I received an ARC gratis and offer my opinion freely.

Another match in Mistletoe! The matchmakers themselves have so much trouble with their matches! Kali wants to own the ranch and stables that she considers her legacy, but they were gambled away by her father years before and now the absentee owner has decided to sell. Kali has to try to come up with a downpayment. Flynne, from the Wilson matchmaker family, doesn’t think he will ever find his match until he realizes the sparks that he and Kali have when they argue may be leading up to a closer relationship. To help Kali gain her legacy, Flynne begins to help her openly and in secret. But secrets always come out and that can lead to misunderstanding. I laughed until cried when prospective buyers showed up at the ranch—you will love what happens! I love the humor and close knit family interactions in this series! Don’t miss this delightful, clean new read from Bonnie Paulson!

This latest episode of the Mistletoe Matchmakers series was a wonderful addition to the ongoing saga of the Wilson and Dean families, and I thoroughly enjoyed “watching” the drama unfold. I felt such nostalgia as characters from previous books that I had grown so fond of were revisited also. The main characters, Flynne and Kali were such a likable couple, and it was fun seeing the transformation of their relationship from sworn enemies (at least Kali thought so) to tentative friends, to realizing that they were in love. I was totally engrossed in their story from start to finish, and I applaud Ms. Paulson for her skilled storytelling. I highly recommend “One More Glance” to sweet and clean romance lovers everywhere. I was given an advanced copy of this book from the author, and am giving my voluntary and honest opinion.

What happens when a matchmaker can’t make a match for himself? In One More Glance Bonnie R. Paulson shows us that things aren’t always what they seem. Kali is about to lose her beloved farm because she can’t come up with a down payment and secure a loan to keep it going. The owner just wants to get rid of the property and has his friend Flynne take care of the details. While they are enemies and don’t get along, Flynne becomes Kali’s secret santa and makes sure that extra money is added to the fund raisers to save the farm. Kali and Flynne work together to save the farm and sparks start to fly in ways they never expected. But can secrets and misunderstandings keep them both from achieving their goals? Only time will tell. And who is Kali’s mysterious secret santa?

Opposites definitely attract but watch out for those sparks.
Flynn’s, another player brother, can get any date he wants with his roguish good looks and easy personality. Why then does the girl running the stables intrigue him, especially when all they do is fight? The land where the stables are is going to be sold out from under her, especially when it had historically been her family’s until lost gambling. Why is he so determined to do whatever it takes to make sure she has it?
Good clean wholesome read. There’s a touch of mystery and people from the past wanting to stir the pot. There’s also some giggles in this.

I think this is probably my favourite book in the series so far. It has even more of a family saga vibe to it. Despite essentially being Kali and Flynne's story, the other members of the Dean and Wilson are very present, along with the different issues and drama going on. This does not take away from the story between Kali and Flynne, I found it deepened it further, making it more three dimensional. As ever, Ms Paulson has done a beautiful job crafting this book, a nice fluid style combined with a wonderful setting and great characters. I love this series.
July 15, 2020
Lots of tension and angst between Kali and Flynne. Kali desperately wanted to buy the land and stables that was all the home she’d ever known. And Flynne desperately wanted to help her but didn’t know how since they were mortal enemies. Ms Paulson knows how to write a romance. I kept glued to the pages anxious to see how this romance played out. It was all I could do to keep from hooping and hollering when they finally acknowledged their feelings. But what a wild ride in between times watching all their interactions. Well done Ms Paulson!

Kali is about to lose her land, the owner wants to sell but she can't raise enough to buy him out. It's been in her family for generations, until her father lost it in a bet.
Flynne is a billionaire who's lived close to Kali all his life. They've always had a tempestuous relationship. He wants to help her buy the land and stables but she's too proud to accept help.
Then the owner brings the sale date closer. Can Kali raise the money? Can Flynne lend her the money without her knowing?
A great read from Bonnie

I really enjoy the story of Flynn and Kali's romance. It was a hate to love romance, as Kali is trying to buy by her family home with fundraisers, a secret Santa is contributing extra money. Kali is determined to figure out who it is and to buy her home. Flynn is determined to win Kali; he helps her to deter buyers until she can raise the money. Can he win her heart? Can she buy her home?
The characters are well-developed throughout the series and the story is beautifully written. I look forward to the next book.

This is a super fun ride, following along the road to HEA for Kali and Flynne. I love Kali's drive and determination from the start. It warms my heart to see people hold on to what makes them happy. The antics back and forth with Kali and Flynne are funny and romantic at the same time. Sometimes the ones that you love the most can drive you the most crazy. Sometimes, even before you realize how much you like them. Great characters and romance. This is a win. I can't wait to read more in this series!

One More Glance in a wonderful romantic edition to the Mistletoe Matchmakers series by Bonnie Paulson. I love Flynne and Kali story. Kali is trying to buy her family’s horse ranch and Flynn is trying to help her anonymously until the ranch is for sale. I honestly enjoyed reading more about the Dean and Wilson families in how they support each other. I am really looking forward tho the next book in the Mistletoe Matchmakers series. I received this book as an arc for an honest review of it.
July 19, 2020
Not really an enemy to lovers romance but it certainly seems that Kali and Flynne are protagonists of a sort.Kali needs money, a lot of money to purchase the ranch she considers her home and Flynne, well he decides to be a secret Santa to help Kali out. House inspections, a bachelor and bachelorette auction and a whole lot of fun ensue as these two decide if their burgeoning friendship is worth risking for something a whole lot more interesting.

I am in love with this match making series. I loved the story line in this book. From the moment I started reading it I had a smile on my face. It was such a fun read. Kali and Flynn were both strong characters. It was such a pleasure reading about the journey these two take and all the things they discover about each other and themselves along the way. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

Oh! These books and their teasers for the future ones! I wish the whole series was out so I could binge them! I loved watching these two mains probe their hearts and their discoveries. Such a convoluted and endearing mess was made and I couldn't put this book down!

What's a girl supposed to do when the only thing she lives for, she loves, the land that used to be her home, is going up for sale? She, Kali has worked so hard to keep. The only hope is her mysterious Secret Santa. Then there's Flynne. He's like a burr in her life. Always very frustrating but at the same time has these very good looks.

Very good story
This was the fourth book in the Mistletoes Matchmakers. I couldn’t say which one I have enjoyed ready more, but this story included all the characters from the previous books, while putting its own spin on a couple needing to be matched. I’m getting ready to read the 5th book in the series. They are all entertaining and enjoyable to read

She needs help, but will never agree to his help.
He has great idea to help her, with her not knowing he is her Secret Santa.
Problems arise, when she finds out the truth.
Will they forgive each other?
Amazing story with great characters. Loved it.

A great fun read
Kali and Flynne's story is fun to read. With the cast of Mistletoe as supporting characters, it's fun to see where everyone is now. These two are fun and a bit insecure, but still manage to fumble their way into love.

Kali
Stubborn,independent and not believing in herself she feels betrayed and lied to by her friends. Truth is they are trying to help her and there is some humor and some emotional fireworks plus ties to previous stories.
