The Book

Next Door Neighbors. A Blind Match. And a Kiss That Melts the Ice.

Mel

My neighbor’s easy on the eyes, but his blaring music and clanging weights keep me awake. Michael Matthews is all charm and good vibes—qualities that drive my sleep-deprived self up a wall; even if his smile does spark an annoying flutter.

Mike

Cole’s been raving about Noelle's best friend since they started dating. I'm curious, yet my fiery, grumpy next door neighbor has captivated me from day one. The only time she'll give me is when she's pounding on the wall to turn down the music. So I agree to meet Noelle's friend.

When Cole introduces me to Mel, my sexy, grumpy next door neighbor, I can't believe my luck. But if the frost in her eyes is any indication, I'll need some Christmas magic to win her heart.

A Not So Merry Kiss-mas, a reverse grumpy/sunshine novella, is book 2 of the Letters to Mrs. Claus multi-author series—a kisses-only romantic comedy collection bursting with holiday cheer. Each story is linked through Mrs. Claus’s Operation Mistletoe Match, where she receives a letter from a meddling friend or family member about someone lonely, heartbroken, or closed off to love. With her timeless wisdom, Mrs. Claus pens a tailored message to the subject of the letter, offering an inspiring note that tackles their romantic roadblock. Packed with hilarious mishaps, flustered blushes, and courageous adventures as they chase their happily-ever-after in this no-spice, swoon-worthy series!

Book Review

Oh, this was the absolute cutest story! Mike and Mel didn't get off to a great start when they first met. She finds him to be the most annoying next-door neighbor ever... and he can't help his crush on her. Thankfully, they have a lot of people in their lives who like to meddle including the elderly Mrs. Fletcher, who was such a fun addition to the story. Their best friends also want to set them up-- before they've even realized they'd already met and who they were to each other. Talk about a surprise blind date! And if all that meddling wasn't quite enough, we also have a mysterious and magical letter from none other than Mrs. Claus adding the perfect dose of whimsy and holiday magic to this sweet story! Truly, this felt like it could a Hallmark movie--in the best was possible-- and I found myself enjoying every moment! This story may have been quick (easily read in just a sitting or two), but it wasn't short on smiles and was perfect for the busy holiday season! 

A Not So Merry Kiss-mas is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the Letters to Mrs. Claus series. This is a multi-author series, with each book being able to be read as standalones or in any order. It is also connected to the author's previous book, A Not So Merry Ex-Mas.
