Mix one overworked man, add one misguided woman, sprinkle with magic and find love.
As Hawthorne’s unofficial historian and antique dealer, Makenna Wilson knows everything about the town’s history, but she doesn’t believe in magic until odd things happen in her store. Antiques start matching themselves to customers and a watch stops time for a man who is not her boyfriend. However, Quin Kayhill is the boy she had wished would kiss her thirteen years ago.
Quin, the new director of the chamber of commerce, never has enough time to get to the end of his long list, for which there is never enough time to accomplish all he must do. A complaint about the town’s Christmas plans from Makenna puts him further behind on the plans for the New Year’s Eve celebration. Regardless of how far behind Quin is, he always stops to help a damsel in distress, especially if he can’t stop thinking about her.
A kiss under the Mistletoe changes everything for Quin and Makenna. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make for smooth sailing when her old boyfriend threatens Makenna and the town she loves and a blizzard hits the town. Will the magic of her ancestors help them overcome obstacles in their way and find a happily ever after?
Rating: Mild. Mild kissing; mild (nonsexual) violence or horror.

About Maria Hoagland
When Maria Hoagland is not working at her computer, she can be found combing used furniture stores, remodeling houses with her husband, or at a son’s soccer game. She loves crunching leaves in the fall, stealing cookie dough from the mixing bowl, and listening to musicals on her iPod. Maria’s favorite writing places are outdoors where there is sunlight and no internet.
I was really wanted to read a light Christmas romance so I was excited to get to read this. It was a fun read. It has a slow burning romance but also intrigue and magical happenings. No witches casting spells – just magical things keep happening. I kept waiting to see if there would be a logical explanation but no, its magic.
I liked the characters a lot with the exception of the villain, of course. I also liked the town and their people. Sounds like a place I would love to visit. Along with the romance, magic, and intrigue, we also got a little history lesson along the way. Things I definitely did not know before.
The story could certainly be a Hallmark movie and was definitely an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading the cousins’ stories.
