She has gone to New York for a heart benefit she literally walks into a guy in the hotel lobby on her way to her room. There is instant attraction, but she rebukes him and continues to her room. When she comes down to the banquet hall for the benefit, she realizes the handsome man is the photographer. They end up hot and heavy in his room until she wakes early the next morning. Her intentions is to sneak to her room, shower & come back, but when she gets to her room she sees where her colleagues have been trying to get a hold of her. She is needed asap for surgery on someone's heart. She leaves without thinking & without giving him her contact info. He tries to find her and a little later his roommate gets him to do the photography at a Christmas party that he is catering. Just like Christmas magic they are together again.

Elizabeth heads to New York for a charity event for Soulful Heart. Chris notices her the moment he enters the hotel, and he's very interested in her. She's interested in him, but won't let on. It turns out that they'll have a chance to meet again - he's the photographer for her event. They spend the night together, and she disappears early the next morning. Will they be able to find each other again? If you don't believe in fate, read this book. I love Chris' story about mistletoe. Their chemistry seems a little forced, as to some of their conversations. But overall, this is a nice short book to read.

Unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this book. The story line has potential. But I wanted more less descriptive words and more about the characters. Plus the use of some words made me cringe and not in a good way. Elizabeth and Chris meet and kiss under the mistletoe. Elizabeth is a really shy lady well I guess was. Chris is a photographer and travels a lot but meeting Elizabeth he was attracted to her instantly. This book just wasn’t for me BUT that’s just my opinion maybe someone else will truly love it. 2/5 stars

This is a fun, sweet little holiday romance novella that you can read in about an hour. It's a novella, it's meant to be a quick read, so knowing that, you're not gonna get a bunch of character development, not a big plot. It is exactly what one would think, a short holiday instalove story.
It's all about Elizabeth, Chris and the mistletoe! I can't say much, I don't want to give anything away.
Just know that mistletoe is magic! A great little holiday de-stressor!

Elizabeth and Chris meet and he is instantly smitten. She feels the chemistry too but is hesitant. He is the photographer for the event she is in New York to attend so their paths cross again. And then they have a night together but she disappears in the morning and he has no way to contact her. Fate has their paths cross again when he works another event for a friend. Ah, the magic of the holy at work.

This was a very sweet and short Christmas romance. There is Elizabeth who is beautiful, brilliant and a Dr. who just wants to enjoy her time off in NYC. Then there is Chris who is a sexy photographer. Their worlds collide with a little help from the mistletoe and sparks fly. I enjoyed this cute love story and the steamy scenes. If you want something cute and sweet and to the point, this book is for you with a little bonus story at the end.

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength happiness and love. The story of erotic of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Sarah Stein; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Mistletoe is a sweet insta-love short story. The storyline is cute and involves mistletoe magic between Chris and Elizabeth. Will fate bring them back together or was this their one and only chance?

Fun

I tend to enjoy stories that provide an air of "How they ever meet again since they didn't exchange contact information?"-type of romance. Which means that I thoroughly enjoyed Mistletoe. Lol.

The book as a whole needs at least one more thorough edit.

I thought this was a cute little, short Christmas story. I really enjoyed this little novella. With this being a novella, it's meant to be a quick read, so knowing that you're not going to get a lot of character development, so there is not a big plot. It is exactly what one would think, a short holiday instalove story. Definitely a cute, quick Christmas story to read.
