Holly and Mistletoe (Silhouette Romances) [Kindle Edition]

Susan Mallery (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A storm had claimed her apartment and now Holly Garrett was without a home for the holidays. But just when she saw her plans for Christmas crumbling, a miracle came her way. The handsome firefighter who'd saved her and her cat--and who'd injured himself in the rescue--was now asking her for help. And he was inviting her to live with him. Sure, she could cook and clean for him while he recuperated, but was that really all he wanted?

Jordan Haynes couldn't let Holly be alone for Christmas--not when she brought out his every protective instinct. No, he could play the needy patient as well as anyone...and just maybe he could convince her to keep him company through the holidays--if not longer.

This review is from: Holly and Mistletoe (Hometown Heartbreakers) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 1071) (Paperback)

It's five in the morning and I just finished this book! It was so good I could not put it down! The love story between Holly and Jordan was so sweet. I guess I liked it so much because I own my own business ina small town and I met my husband when he walked in to my shop one day. I like Susan Mallery's writing. The way she makes you fall in love with the characters, and understand what they are going through is simply magical. Read this book and all five in the "Hometown Heartbreakers" series. You will not be disappointed!

This review is from: Holly And Mistletoe (Silhouette Romances) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book! I could totally relate with Holly...I laughed and cried right along with her. :)

I didn't realize this book was part of a series when I bought it, but I figured it out as I went along. Needless to say, I will be buying the other books!

3.0 out of 5 stars The cat was annoying, December 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Holly and Mistletoe (Hometown Heartbreakers) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 1071) (Paperback)

Back Cover description: Holly Garrett was in trouble. The handsome stranger who'd saved her from a storm was now asking her for help. And he was inviting her to live with him. Sure, she could prepare evening meals and give him sponge baths, but nothing had prepared her for those sexy glances he threw her way...Jordan Haynes couldn't let Holly be alone for Christmas. Not when visions of her were dancing in his head night after night. No, he could play the needy patient as well as anyone...and convince her to keep him company through the holidays-- if not longer.

This is the last book in this series about the brothers. There is one more about the half sister. Likeable lead characters and the story does progress OK, but talk about a guy that broods. The cat really annoyed me however. Jordan risked his life for the cat, and as much as it might annoy cat lovers out there--a man's life is worth more. I would have felt better if he had risked his life for her. This is where you find out why he dislikes Louise (housekeeper). This is also the reason I didn't give it another star. Even Jordan had to have realized at his age that his dad, an adult, seduced a 17 year old with no experience. His dad did it a lot to just about any one in a skirt. Why blame Louise? This part annoyed me. Holly is carrying around her own 'baggage'-- but at least she's willing to take a risk. If you have read the others, you'll read this.
