My Review:

That Time We Kissed Under the Mistletoe is the fourth in the series, but can easily stand alone. I have read the first two books, but not the third.

Read for:

🎄second chance romance

🎄forced proximity

🎄nope, thanks

🎄holiday traditions

🎄dual POV

🎄mutual pining

🎄 Hallmark Vibes

🎄 LOL moments

While this story is set around Christmas, it doesn't have a lot of Christmas vibes. I struggled to connect with either character, and didn't find the story to be very memorable.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

My holly jolly Christmas just went up in smoke. Literally …

Playing nursemaid to Bradford “Three” Fuller is the last thing I need for Christmas.

But for the next few days, I’m stuck in charge of my ex’s sparkling eyes, his ridiculous abs, and his (mostly) accidental kisses.

I don’t have a choice.

You see, Three’s only hurt because of me. And not like he hurt me a decade ago. Like … I literally concussed the man with a fire extinguisher.

Still, a make-or-break mission for my parents is what brought me back to the small town where he crushed my tender heart in the first place.

And if I screw up, I risk my mother’s approval plus the job at my father’s law firm I’ve worked for my entire life.

So I sure hope Santa stuffs my stocking full of self-control. And a defibrillator.

Because my heart just may be broken by this second chance with Three …




That Time we Kissed Under the Mistletoe is a full-length, closed-door romantic comedy in the Abieville Love Stories series, but the book can be enjoyed as a standalone.

As with all Julie Christianson’s romcoms, you’ll find plenty of sizzling chemistry, but no content beyond kisses.



* Second chance romance

* Small-town Christmas

* Forced Proximity

* Trapped together

* Only one couch
