I loved this book. It was well written and proceeded at a nice pace. The story was sweet and free from sex and vulgarity. It was the perfect holiday romance. I was given an arc copy of this book by NetGalley and I willingly offer my review.

Wedding At Mistletoe Chalet has been a sweet, tender and heartwarming Christmas story filled with love of family and friends as much romantic love. The setting is a beautifully crafted log cabin gingerbread house complete with gable windows set into its pitched roof and plenty of snow to set the scene. Add the holly and the mistletoe and you have a perfect setting for a surprise Christmas wedding, though this is not the main story here.
Kristen grew up next door to Finn and dated him briefly years earlier before Finn broke off with her. She’s never forgotten him though and it turns out he’s never forgotten her either. Having Finn drop in to visit her at Mistletoe Chalet while on his way home for Christmas has Kristen confused as to his motives. Thankfully a heavy snowfall ensures Finn has enough time for them both to rediscover why each is special to the other.
I loved these two - both are warm, caring and considerate people clearly willing to give and take to fit in with others. While I really enjoyed watching Kristen and Finn rediscover and build on the feelings they had for each other, the star of this story in my opinion is twelve year-old Sarah, the daughter of chalet owner Ted. This little girl claimed the page every time she made an appearance, adding her own sparkle to what was already a delightful Christmas romance.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet by Dani Collins is the first book I have read by this author. It was a very enjoyable and descriptive book. This book was about family, friends and second chances. This was a fast sweet romantic read that was also fun and a little quirky. It is filled with holiday magic. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick feel good holiday read. Thank you to Tule Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

When Kristen takes a job at a B&B for the holiday it is just to pass the time. She never expects her long time friend/ex to show up, or to fall in love with the lace as well. She is now reflecting life as it is and what was lost.

This was a great story from the first page to the last. It was a feel good, small town, holiday romance

Such a sweet Christmas wedding romance. Loved it!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author. All opinions are my own.

This is a first for me by this author... but it won't be my last... I can't wait to find more by this author.

Eager for a home-style Christmas while she considers a career shift, Kristen Benz leaps on the temporary job at Mistletoe Chalet. Soon she’s wrapping presents, trimming the tree, and helping her new boss’s tween daughter plan a Christmas Eve vow renewal for her parents. The holiday is imbued with a magical glow—especially when Kristen’s high school sweetheart appears on the doorstep.
After years of medical school, Finn Garrett has promised his parents he’ll be home for the holidays. His detour to see his first love is supposed to provide closure, not rekindle their long-ago romance.
Can a matchmaking tween and the magic of Mistletoe Chalet spark the happily ever after that eluded them in the past?

A festive second chance romance story that is charming, with lots of humour, hilarious banter, warmth of friends and family... it has the perfect cast of characters that will easily steal your heart.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful festive story so much that once I started I could not put it down.
I'll be on the lookout for more of this authors work as I have a feeling she'll be added to my favourite's list.

Thank-You Netgalley for my ARC.

Sometimes we make the wrong decisions for what seems like the right reason, at the time. Once Kristen and Finn were students, young, in love, with a bright future ahead of them. Then Finn made a choice for them both – one that he felt was necessary but left so many regrets and feelings still alive for them both. Now, years later, Finn is months away from completing his career choice, Kristen is working at the Mistletoe Chalet temporarily over the Christmas break while she makes some career decisions of her own… and their worlds are about to cross once again. Maybe with a better outcome this time around.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is packed full of Christmas magic, intriguing DIY projects, mouthwatering cookies, a lot of secondary characters and a matchmaking tween who not only wants to pull of the surprise of a life time for her parents but maybe get Finn and Kristen back where they belong, together. There is a lot going on in this story, yet at the heart of it are two people who never really let go of the love they once had and now get the chance to see if it really is the forever kind of love they both are believing in. I enjoyed everything about this story, from the merrily decorated chalet, to the snowed in atmosphere, to one adorable tween with a plan, to Kristen and Finn discovering that love can work if you give it a chance. If you’re in the mood for a very good Christmas Romance then this is one I’d happily recommend.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

A contemporary sweet romance set during the Christmas season at Mistletoe Chalet is a slow read with very descriptive parts. A second chance to find love for Finn and Kristen after their budding summer romance at the end of Kristen senior year of high school. I read and finished this book but did find it to be missing something for me, I think it was just so full of sweet and niceness it as sometimes lost my interest a bit. The romance between Kristen and Finn was not the main storyline I got from reading this book, it was more about friendship and family with new beginnings. I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest review of it.

The secondary characters were wonderful and Sarah just made the book for me. The author had me feeling the cold and snow in this beautiful setting of the Chalet. This is the first book by this author I have read.
Kristen has taken a temporary job during her Christmas holidays due to her parents winning a cruise holiday over the Christmas New Year period. She finds the Mistletoe Chalet to be a very quaint hotel and the family that run it was very friendly and loving towards her.

Finn has finally got the Christmas holidays off from his very busy schedule of medical school and internship to go home for Christmas. After a quick stop to spend some time with some friends she finds out that Kristen is working a temporary job away and won't be home for Christmas. Finn and Kristen have been neighbours all through their childhood, with Finn’s best friend being Kristen’s brother.

What will happen when Finn decides to take a detour on the way home to see Kristen after all these years?

Can Kristen and Sarah fulfil Sarah Christmas gift to her parents?

A sweet second chance Christmas romance. Kristen has taken a temporary job at a B&B, she soon gets wrapped up in the all of the holiday festivities. Finn is on his way home from medical school to spend the holidays with his family when he decides to take a detour to see Kristen. He wants to make amends to her from their breakup years ago, not to fall in love with her all over again.

Loved this sweet Christmas story, full of holiday traditions and falling in love all over again. I highly recommend this book.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet by Dani Collins is a lovely, sweet Christmas filled story about rekindling your childhood love. It´s also about finding yourself and finding where you belong. It´s such a sweet Christmas story that just fills you with love and hope for the season.

Beautiful, sweet story about getting a second chance with the one that got away. Finn & Kristen have a long history but it’s the end of the relationship that they both regret. Finn decided after an injury that set him on a new path in college, that he couldn’t ask Kristen to uproot her life or make her wait until he was settled in his, so he broke up with her. Eight yrs later he looks her up when he finds out she’s not going home for Christmas but working at a ski lodge. Kristen takes on a new challenge looking to see if it’s what she might want to do next. Working at a family run lodge she meets a wonderful family, they treat as family & she gets a surprise visit from her past that has her hoping for a future like her new friends. The character of Sarah was a wonderful addition to the story with her abundance of love for her father & step-mom & her creative ideas for a wonderful Christmas gift for her entire family. She was also a great matchmaker pushing Finn & Kristen closer together. Definitely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Chrisstmas story. Dani Collins writes well developed characters that makes you get invested in them. If you are looking for a sweet second chance story this a great book for you. I love a good Christmas story! The cover grabbed my attention right away. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my open and honest opinion.

This book is boring. Really boring. There were many discussions about topics that were completely uninteresting and not remotely pertaining to the actual storyline. Most of the time I felt like pointless details and characters were added to plump up an extremely thin storyline filled with two dimensional characters.

The main characters are all likable characters but I didn't feel remotely connected or invested in their lives. Kristen and Finn were not offensive in anyway, they were just really forgettable and bland.

Such a sweet & touching read! The latest from Dani Collins takes us into a magical Christmas infused story. The main character reconnects with her first love, but behind the scenes she's helping the daughter of her boss plan a surprise for her parents that brings a really touching sentiment to the story line. It's fast paced, really sincere and sweet and just an overall joy to read!

Kristen Benz finds herself without plans for the holidays at the last minute, but lucks into finding a temporary job at a lovely ski chalet. She shows up and falls in love with the homey atmosphere and her friendly bosses. She's knee deep into the joy of Christmas in no time as she decorates, wraps presents, bakes cookies and helps their daughter plan a surprise behind the scenes!

Finn Garrett is almost done with his grueling residency, and he's finally making it home for Christmas this year, but he hears from his Mom that Kristen is at this ski chalet and decides to stop by on his way home. It's been a few years since he broke up with her because of his grueling med school schedule, but he's never let her get too far out of his mind. He's thinking seeing each other will finally give them that closure they didn't get, but seeing her again just reminds him of all the things he loved about her!

I absolutely fell in love with this engaging, sweet touching story that draws people together at a mountain chalet. Kristen Benz has been hired to help out a couple of weeks at the Mistletoe Chalet. She meets charming twelve year old Sarah who is secretly planning a second wedding for her father and stepmother.
Finn Garrett was Kristen’s boyfriend until he broke up with her years past. He still remembers the sweetness and light that was Kristen. Handed the opportunity to see her again, Finn jumps on it not knowing he would spend a longer time reconnecting with Kristen and maybe reigniting a love long lost.
You will very much enjoy and love the story, too.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet by Dani Collins is a second chance romance Christmas story. The characters are likable especially Kristen. She has a friendly, encouraging spirit that draws the other characters to her. Mistletoe Chalet is a special place that she shines in while working there. I enjoy seeing someone enjoy their work in those around me as well as in the books that I read.

Unexpectantly a former boyfriend makes an appearance. Finn Garrett stopping at the Chalet to simply check on Kristen. It is easy for him to jump into the festivities there, throwing them together. A lot happens in a short time, but it was clear early on that their story was never finished. Now the time is right. What fun.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What a fun, romantic story of a beautiful chalet and two couples at Christmas. I want to go stay at the charming Mistletoe Chalet and curl up with this book in front of the glowing fireplace. This is a special love story with vows renewed at Christmas in front of family and friends for the owners of the Chalet and a second chance story for Kristen Benz and Finn Garrett who were next door neighbors and in a relationship that ended during college. To hope and second chances after they rekindled their romantic feelings for each other and fulfilled their own dreams first. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

This is Kristen Benz and Finn Garrett's story.
Kristen Benz arrived at Mistletoe Chalet and knew she was in danger of falling in love.
She shouldered her small bag as she closed the door on her sturdy hatchback, ears stinging and nose pinching at the brisk air that accosted her. But the cold didn’t matter. Everything was so pretty!
Nestled against a mountainside, guarded by craggy, muscled peaks of granite, the chalet was everything she wanted a mountain lodge to be. It sprawled in gabled wings from an A-frame front, its roof jutting in sharp angles toward the sky, like the mountaintops surrounding it. River-rock walls gave it a sense of reliable permanence while accents of natural wood formed crossbeams and railed balconies.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet

Very nice story of a second chance at love. My only disappointment was I thought the wedding was going to be at Christmas like the cover shows, but it wasnt, though that did not take away from a wonderful story. Cute and very enjoyable plot.

This story begins as Kristen Benz arrives at Mistletoe Chalet to work there during the holidays. The author, Dani Collins provides readers with a beautiful description of Mistletoe Chalet and this not only is a great story opening but also begins the ambiance of Christmas. I loved this ambiance which follows throughout the book. All the characters are realistic and made me want to have them as my friends. This is a super Christmas romance!
