The holidays aren’t so happy anymore. Well, at least, not for Choyce Sinclair.
After the demise of a five-year relationship, the freelance journalist is struggling to find a better ending to her sad story.
With Christmas coming around the corner, emotions are high and spirits are low. What was once a gleeful time of the year for her has been overruled by the gloominess of a difficult breakup and the wish to make up.
However, after a life-altering phone call, Choyce is forced to take an unexpected trip back home to her Alabama roots and face what she’s been running from all along—her family.
As unresolved issues come to the forefront and dirty laundry is exposed, Choyce lands herself in a whirlwind of things and people she wanted to leave in the past.
Including one person, in particular, who just might have been waiting for her under the mistletoe.
This book was A lot to read and process with the FMC ex being married to her sister and she slept with him in the book to the religion aspect of the book. This is my first book by this author and I am on the fence about reading other book.
This was a cute, quick read. My first time reading the author and I’d read more from her. I enjoyed it. I loved that it touched on heartbreak and healing, family dysfunction, loss and grief, and forgiveness; so many dynamics that we all can relate to. I do hate how Blaze affected Choyce and he played her not once but twice. But, thankfully she eventually chose herself. 3X is the charm. I would’ve love to see if her and Sade would’ve healed their broken relationship and to see how things played out with Garrett. However, it didn’t take away from the story. I always love a good Christmas romance.
The whole family was just dysfunctional! Choyce was stuck in her feelings to the point where she slept with a married man which made her no better than her sister. She couldn’t even grieve the loss of her father because she was so consumed with this no-good man. Then Sadie was wrong for continuing to lie to Choyce. It was just a disappointment. No real growth and no accountability.
Hmmm 🤔, “Stolen Mistletoe” was an interesting yet scandalous read. However, except for the last chapter I wouldn’t equate this book with the holidays. Nevertheless, after the scally wag participants 🙄🙄🙄 (maybe I’m just petty but this 🤬 ain’t over🤷🏾♀️😼!) of the local betrayal epidemic season were exposed, Choyce & Garrett appear to be the sole survivors under the mistletoe. Cute outcome, I guess🥴‼️
I absolutely love this! I literally read the whole book in less than 2 hours. I can usually figure out the ending but not with this book. Not only could I not see the ending coming but I also love how it all tied together. I can't wait for the next book.
That Blaze and Sage deserved whatever karma came to them. How Choyce was able to function after such deceit is unknown to me. I loved how the story focused on forgiveness after heartbreak and loss. And on how some Black families allow the church to rule over them in the wrong way.
First the sister was trifling and the momma how could you choose others over child. Then choyce was making me mad let that boy go , then she just had to be weak. The momma irked me calling choyce out of her name like her other daughter and what once the daughter she despised ex man sitting at the table. Yeah everyone of them would have gotten touched that day
Sadie, Sage and Choyce...three sisters with three different personalities. Sage was dead wrong and karma let her know just that. Sadie didn't want to be on anyone's bad side so she played the part. Garrett was man enough to admit his mistakes and go after what he wanted.
The act of forgiveness is heavy one everyone seem to learn that accept Choyce and Sage ex. I’m glad there was a happy ending for the sisters and their mom. Garret wrong his right.
A cute little Christmas story. With jealousy, family dysfunction, betrayal, and lies. I liked the main character, but that family dynamics was all messed up. In the end some wrongs were righted, and karma came to town.
