She has it all planned: She’ll arrive on December 1 and be gone by Christmas. Plus there’s always spiked eggnog to ease the pain. But “Humbug” Bailey’s not the only one home for the holidays.

Hott Review:
Maybe I wanted to love it too much. I’ve really been looking forward to reading Must Love Mistletoe, it was to be my first Christie Ridgwaybook and I’ve heard such great things. But alas, it was not to be.
While I really like Ms. Ridgeway’s writing style the graphic nature of the characters’ intimate memerories before we’ve gotten to know them or developed a relationship with them was a huge turn off. I decided not to continue reading, because if it was that specific in the first chapters of the book I couldn’t imagine things would get less uncomfortable.
I know some of you love that stuff, so go for it! But for those of you who don’t, you may want to try another of Ms. Ridgeway’s books.

Author Bio:
Christie Ridgway is a California native and author of fifty contemporary romances. A six-time RITA finalist and USA Today bestselling author, she writes award-winning, emotional reads starring determined heroines and the men who can’t help but love them. Christie grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, went to college in Santa Barbara, and now is married to the sweetheart she met there.
She started off as a technical writer and moved on to computer programming before having two sons and pursuing the dream she’d held since childhood—writing romance novels. Her first book stars a hero who was a former professional surfer and since then she’s written about businessmen, TV stars, soldiers, journalists, vintners, race car drivers, and horror novelists. What her heroes have in common is their resistance to love and their hardest of falls when they finally do find their right woman.
