There’s Something About Merry
/I’m currently reading all mistletoe romance novels and have found them enjoyable so far. I loved this book so much more than Nick and Noel’s story.
For anyone that loves small town romances with a single dad attempting online dating, told in dual perspective, then this might be one for you!
The story follows Merry (the sister of Nick from the first book), who has returned to Mistletoe to focus on one day taking over the family’s Christmas Tree business. She feels like her dad doesn’t trust her and that’s why he hired Clark as the foreman to handle operations. Merry’s family has taken Clark and his son in and welcomed them like family.
Both Clark and Merry admit to each other that they both liked each other in high school, but never acted on it. They both wonder if they missed their chance. Each of them decide to put themselves out there by trying internet dating, though don’t actually see if their growing friendship could turn into more.
Clark was such a sweetheart and the way he was with his son was just heartwarming! I liked how this story focused on family and the acceptance that family isn’t always blood related. I really empathised with his situation as a single father and when he said he’d never been in love as he never had the opportunity.
Merry was a very likeable character too! Her random voodoo plushie for her friend, that ends up being her own personal business idea was entertaining. Her interactions with Clark’s son was sweet. I enjoyed her perspective and how she was a smart, independent person.
So many funny and adorable moments! Great rom com for the merry season! There is a small amount of 🌶️🌶️
