The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper Basham releasing September 1, 2021

 

It started with a kiss, but it wasn't supposed to be her kiss. I loved every word of the Mistletoe Countess! Grace and Frederick are fantastic characters! Think Heart To Heart set in 1913. I loved the setting, beginning in the Blue Ridge Mountains, ending in an English country Manor house. This book has romance (think sizzling kisses!), mystery, humor, and dare I say murder... even a ghost! So grab your copy, a pot of tea, and find a cozy reading nook! You are not going to want to put this book down until it's finished! I hope you love this masterpiece by Pepper Basham as much as I do!

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All Thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

Will the magic of Christmas bring these two newlyweds closer together, or will the ghosts of the past lead them into a destructive discovery from which not even a Dickens’s Christmas can save them?

Mistletoe is beautiful and dangerous, much like the woman from Lord Frederick’s Percy’s past, so when he turns over a new leaf and arranges to marry for his estate, instead of his heart, he never expects the wrong bride to be the right choice. Gracelynn Ferguson never expected to take her elder sister’s place as a Christmas bride, but when she’s thrust into the choice, she will trust in her faithful novels and overactive imagination to help her not only win Frederick’s heart but also to solve the murder mystery of Havensbrook Hall before the ghosts from Frederick’s past ruin her fairytale future.
