What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe...
Brandy Bloom plans to seduce the man of her dreams at an office Christmas party but finds herself kissing his twin, instead. One night only is her plan but Max Corbin has other ideas. The sexy elf who kissed him under the pretend mistletoe is a special woman he has no plans of letting go.
*A stand-alone novella


Just One More Mistletoe is an interconnected standalone novella in the Sterling Family series by Carly Phillips. I loved the setting and the characters for this novella and loved how the FMC, Brandy Bloom, found a HEA for someone unexpected when she thought she was kissing her boss instead of his twin, Max Corbin. 

Brandy ended up with the better twin, who understood her hesitation about being in a relationship and had a lot of patience to win her over, even though he hardly knew her. Max had his own vulnerabilities that he had to work through, and he was thankful to have met someone like Brandy who helped him through them. Although both characters were strangers, once they got to know one another after their one-night stand, they found they had a lot in common, and their chemistry was instant. They were perfect for one another.

Just One More Mistletoe is the perfect spicy novella for a quick and entertaining holiday read. It will get you in the holiday spirit and have you wanting to find your own Max Corbin to kiss under the mistletoe. I give this novella four stars and look forward to reading more from this series and other books that Carly Phillips has written. She’s one of those authors whose books I can finish in a day because they are hard to put down.

Single/Dual POV: Dual POV.

Standalone or Part of Series: It’s an interconnected standalone novella in the Sterling Family series.

Would I recommend this book? Yes. If you’re in the mood for a festive novella with spice, check out Carly Phillips’ novella.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
