Saving Mistletoe is one of many stories in the Sweet Christmas Kisses 4 anthology. As you can infer from the title, this is a collection of sweet, clean, Christmas stories by multiple authors. I gave it 4 1/2 stars.

Ellen is an attorney who needs a change of direction.  Burke is an officer with the Portland Mounted Patrol.  A couple of accidental meetings (literally) and a meddling cousin  bring them together.  Add in a young girl named Mistletoe, a horse named Sugar Bear and a Border Collie named Lovey who performs some very clever tricks and you have a recipe for a Christmas tale that will warm your heart.

Ellen is best friends with Tara, who appeared in A Taste of Tara.  Tara had a long-distance role in Saving Mistletoe.  (If you haven't read A Taste of Tara, you should, but only because it is a great book.  This book stands alone.)

I thought it was super fun that there is a reference in the book to Ellen reading a book that is not mentioned by name, nor is the author mentioned, but it is another Christmas story by Shanna Hatfield - The Cowboy's Christmas Plan.  Though I didn't write a review for that book, I did give it 4 stars when I read it in January 2016.

The entire anthology is only $.99 right now.  This story alone is worth the price and judging from the other authors in the collection, the entire set should be a very enjoyable read.

I voluntarily received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
