5 star review of Wedding At Mistletoe Chalet by Dani Collins

What's not to love? It's the most magical time of the year and also happens to be my most favourite holiday. I love any story that is centered around Christmas; it’s a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate life.      

This was a fun, quirky, fast sweetly romantic read and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
 
At a crossroads, Kristen Benz accepts a temporary job at Mistletoe Chalet. When her high school sweetheart Finn Garrett turns up could this be the re start of their previous relationship?

Will the magic of Christmas and a young matchmaker bring Kristen and Finn together?

Such was Ms. Collin’s descriptive style of writing, I really felt as though I was transported to a beautiful chalet in the mountains.

A beautiful love story full of hopes and dreams that certainly got me in the holiday spirit.

This is a wonderful second chance romance filled with holiday magic as Kristen Benz and Finn Garrett are reunited. Kristen is working at a B&B on a temporary basis and Finn is home for the holidays. When Finn learns Kristen is nearby he decides to drive up and see her and apologize for the way he handled things those many years ago. When he gets trapped at the B&B by weather they have no choice but to spend time together. Both Kristen and Finn get caught up in the holiday fun and soon realize the attraction between them is still there. Will they find a holiday miracle and find their way back to each other?

I highly recommend this one.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet has that second chance at romance in a Christmas setting that we all love! Sweet Sarah secretly plans a 'second' wedding for her dad and step-mom who married at the courthouse. With both of their families there for Christmas, Sarah knows it will be the perfect season for everyone to bless the marriage they missed the first time. Kristen, as a guest employee relishes in helping plan the wedding.

Kristen's first love, Finn, drops by on his way to his parents for Christmas. He ends up staying longer than a few hours he originally planned. The extra time they have together reminds them both of why they originally fell in love. This love, surrounded by the upcoming wedding, add to their thoughts of what might have been.

This is a charming romance surrounded by Christmas tidings is just what we need to begin the Christmas season. For my first Dani Collins book, I know I will look for more from her.

This book is about second chances and not letting Love pass you by.
It has a touch of Christmas, celebrating a marriage with a second ceremony shared by family and friends, a second chance at Love and a summer wedding in it.

"Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet" by Dani Collins is a feel good romance that is classic romance all the way. Great, quick, Holiday, or anytime read.

Wedding at Misteltoe Chalet is a sweet scond chance romance set in a mountain chalet durning the Christmas period. This book will have you wishing you were spending the holidays holed up on a mountain durning a snow storm it’s about reconnecting, it’s about friendships but most important it’s about love. Dani Collins does a wonderful job describing the setting and the Christmas decorations her characters are easy to love and the story flows so all in all this is a sweet romance with great characters and no drama so if like me you love Christmas and romance this is the perfect holiday season read. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Dani Collins is a hugely talented author and her latest release, Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is a testament to the fact. A second-chance love story, Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is packed with memorable characters, lots of beautiful emotion and sweet, sweet romance. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a feel-good holiday read!

I really enjoyed this story. It never lagged and the underlying gift of the daughter was a really nice touch. Love and Happy Ever Afters happen at Christmas

I LOVED Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet! Such a heartfelt, feel good holiday story.

I absolutely adored the whole cast of characters from Kristen and Finn to Wendy and Ted, and of course, Sarah, who completely stole the show in my opinion. I could very much relate to Kristen's situation as I'm facing a similar predicament in my life and this book touched on the mix of emotions that I'm feeling as well. The one thing Kristen wasn't expecting was a second chance to make it work with Finn. But is she willing to give up her job to be with him?

And Finn, how could you not love him? He's determined not to let Kristen get away a second time, but he doesn't have a lot of time to devote to a relationship as he's in the final months of his residency. But when a winter storm leaves him stranded at Mistletoe Chalet, can he prove to Kristen that they are worth a second chance?

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is just the book to put you in a festive mood.

This is a short, clean, well written romance with a few Christmas miracles thrown in. Kristen and Finn were childhood friends and briefly dated in the past. When they went their separate ways for college and careers they lost touch. When Finn comes back to town for his families Christmas and finds Kristen at a local B & B he wants to reconnect with her on this way home. You won't be able to put this book down. An enjoyable read from cover to cover!

A sweet second chance at romance set during Christmas time.

When Kristen Benz decides on a career change, she takes a temporary job at Mistletoe Chalet to see if it was what she wanted to do. The last thing she expected was to run into her old boyfriend, Finn Garrett. Finn found out where Kristen was working and he set out to win her back. A little bit of Christmas magic goes a long way in this story and gives Kristen and Finn the happily ever after they deserve.

I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters were very likable and the story flowed easily along. The descriptions made it believable. If you are looking for a good holiday romance, you will really enjoy this one.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet by Dani Collins is a contemporary romance set during the Christmas season. This one is a second chance romance with the couple having a background together.

Kristen Benz has taken a temporary job over the holidays at the Mistletoe Chalet and has been enjoying herself and settling into her roll with even helping the new boss’ daughter plan a vow renewal for her parents. What Kristen never expected in her new job was to have Finn Garrett walk through the door.

Finn and Kristen had dated in high school once talking about a future together until their goals separated them. When Finn hears that Kristen is working at the Mistletoe Chalet for Christmas he decides to stop by and check on her but never expected to rekindle their romance.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is a novella length read but the author crammed a lot into the shorter length with this one. There is a lot going on with other characters in the story so the main couple may seem a bit fast paced to some but with a history between them I was willing to overlook the faster pace and actually enjoyed the story.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is a sweet, sweet love story with a perfect blend of the holiday spirit. The second chance romance is always a favorite storyline. There are so many lovable characters in this book. I have read many books by Dani Collins and loved them all.

WEDDING AT MISTLETOE CHALET by author Dani Collins is a November 2018 release by Tule Publishing.

Kristen Benz takes on a temporary job at Mistletoe Chalet as she was at a loose end during the Christmas holidays. But she was enjoying her stay there and loved working with the Mistletoe Chalet owners. Then she had a surprise visit from her high school sweetheart and neighbor, Finn Garrett.

Finn was on his way home for the Christmas breaks when he does a detour to check in on Kristen. He found out from his mum that she was working at Mistletoe Chalet as no one was at her house for Christmas. Finn just wanted to make sure that she was okay on her own. Yet reaching Mistletoe Chalet, he fast became involved with everyone there. And pitches in to help out wherever needed when they become snow-bound. He also discovers the delight of rekindling his attraction with Kristen. And romance bloomed once again between them amid the Christmas magic.

WEDDING AT MISTLETOE CHALET is a sweet reunion romance. Author Dani Collins brought this beautifully written tale of family, relationships, Christmas magic and ultimately the magic of love to life on the pages.

Highly recommended for all readers of romance.

This is the first book I have read by this author. This book was very good and I would highly recommend it. This story is so good.. The love of a daughter planning a surprise wedding for her dad and step mom. The rekindling of an old romance. The true meaning of the holidays. The help of strangers. There are so many things going on in this book you really can't wait to see how it ends.

3.75 stars. I liked this clean book, the secondary characters were amusing and there were some truly funny moments and dialogue in the story. However, I found the start of the book a bit of an info dump about the chalet and the family who run it, and the guests. We are walked through some scenes that really needed to be edited to be shorter (eg. we don't need to know the whole room cleaning routine) so what should have been summed up in a few paragraphs became a couple of chapters long. I found the attention just wasn't focused enough on the H&h; I wish I had a little better sense of them, since I liked what I did read about them. I think that DC did a good job of showing how they have a great friendship and know each other so well, but the chemistry was a little lack luster. I should clarify that I have no issues with clean romances, but I do think kissing can and probably should be in the novel, it helps develop some of the chemistry and connection. I've enjoyed many of DC's books this one is a little slower paced and less drama them most of her books (that I've read at least). Overall, good, cute and funny book that with a little extra focus on the H&h would have been a great story. *I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet is a Christmas sweet and funny love story about second chances.
Kristen accepts a temporary job at a small family-run hotel during the holidays to try a new career path before making a decision. Soon, she finds herself surrounded by new friends and new hopes.
The characters are sweet and relatable. The story flows naturally, and the dialogues are cute and funny.

Thanks NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC of this book!

“They stood at a fresh crossroads, and this time, his gut told him, taking the path away from her would be the wrong one.”
Some of must haves for my holiday reading romances are a snowy scene, beautifully described setting and decorations, traditions, and family. Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet has all that and more. A sweet, clean, holiday romance gives a former couple who are establishing themselves in their careers a second chance at romance. The secondary characters are wonderful too and play a big part in this story. If you’re looking for a sweet, drama free Christmas romance, I think you’ll enjoy Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet.

A second chance romance laced with Christmas magic. The story is charming, with hilarious banter, the warmth of family and friends, and with the perfect cast of characters who’ll steal your heart, and won’t be easily forgotten.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

4.5 stars.
A quote:
"She challenged him and commiserated with him and sometimes she had looked to him for reassurance or advice, making him feel protective and reliable and strong. She made him feel good about who he was and confident in who he could be." (Loc. 1829, quote from ARC)
Another lovely story by Dani Collins, “Wedding at Mistletoe Chalet” is an arresting tale about deep and lasting relationships, with lovable and unique characters.
Blending the past and the present, a consolidated marriage and strong bonds within and outside blood ties and the steady yet anguishing rekindling of an old love, the story is heartwarming and sweet, full of love and humor.
Kristen’s and Finn path isn’t an easy one but as we read about their journey, we know everything will be fine for them. I loved how the main characters changed and matured and how they handled the roadblocks on their relationship.
