This is my first book by Debbie Mason and I love it. It's not often I pick up a book like Mistletoe Cottage but when I do I always thoroughly enjoy the change of pace such stories provide.

I don't want to give anything away from the plot because part of the enjoyment is going in blind and anticipating the journey the author will take you on. All the characters are well developed and the protagonists are adorable. The supporting cast is an eclectic mix of personalities ensuring a fun filled story. Harmony Harbor has everything you'd expect from a small community where a little gossip goes a long way, memories are just a bit too long and nothing is impossible. The focal couple in this book is Sophie, a single mum, and Liam, a hot looking fireman...two people who have loved each other for years but have lived apart for almost the same length of time. Their story is complicated as secrets are revealed to the surprise of everyone...well, nearly everyone!

If you love a sweet romance wrapped around a little mystery within an entertaining community filled with intriguing characters, Mistletoe Cottage is a seasonal book you won't want to miss. This first offering in the Harmony Harbor series is both amusing and heart-warming. So, wrap up warm with a large glass of mulled wine, relax, read and enjoy the feel-good feeling it generates.
