3.0

The Under the Mistletoe Collection features five romantic Christmas short stories with a dash of spice from Ali Hazelwood, Tessa Bailey, Olivia Dade, Alexandria Bellefleur, and Alexis Daria. While the Valentines counterparts were much less spicy, these holiday romances definitely heat things up with a strong spice level. 

This collection doesn’t come out as strong as the Improbable Meet-Cutes. 

Overall, I give these holiday romances 3/5 ⭐️’s 

Merriment and Mayhem by Alexandria Bellefleur is a painfully relatable tale of an accident prone girl (that is the relatable bit) finding romance with the fire fighter who catches her every time she falls. 

PROS: 
🍪Found family 
🎄Finding a home for the holidays 

CONS: 
🍪Sleeping with someone one time and choosing to uproot your whole life is a lot.
