Carina wants to surprise her boyfriend at Christmas with a delivery but gets the rooms mixed up and ends up in a stranger's room. you can guess from there where it goes. A fun story not full of anx but a good one. Still for me was expecting just a little more.

What a sweet little Christmas love story.
I loved this novella and how it shared the story from both male and female POV.. I was hoping Rad and Carina would have a happy ever after

An easy going Christmas book nice quick read, all done in an afternoon. 5 stars these books are great nice story ,snow. Thank you for letting me review it Netgalley

Loved reading this book and series. If you haven't read it yet I highly recommend her books and enjoy

I enjoyed this Christmas romance with all of the characters. The two main characters were Carina and Conrad.

Carina is the owner of a small flower shop. This Christmas she wants to surprise her fiance at his hotel room. The idea that she came up with is a that she his surprise gift this Christmas. But this go wrong when the delivery bellhop delivers her to the wrong room.

Conrad is on vacation with friend for Christmas. He doesn't want to hook up so he say in his room instead of going with his friends. So when a bellhop delivers a big package he is surprised.

This was a cute story. There are laughs a long the way that were fun to laugh with.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

Wasn't a fan of the blow by blow account of every minute and then the POVs going back and forth so that you end up reading the same thing all over again except while being in the other character's head. Made for a tedious read for me, unfortunately

Who can say no to a Christmas book? I loved this light read book at the end of a busy day! Will definitely recommend.

I love a good Christmas story. It gives me all the feels and is just an overall fun time. It’s a great way to put yourself in the Christmas spirit and you get to relax with a good story.

The beginning of this story is set in New Orleans, with a sweet girl ready to give her fiance a Christmas surprise. The setting was adorable and it really brought the city to life. A funny mistake caused Carina to be delivered to the wrong hotel room, into the arms of a different man. When she found the right place, she didn't get what she expected.

It had the potential to be a very sweet and funny story, but it just wasn't for me.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an e-ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This was such a cozy read!! I'm a little bit sad that I couldn't get the chance to read it on Christmas time, but it was still great tho!
I'm extremely careful when I'm selecting the romance books I want to read, cuz' I tend to dislike them pretty fast >•< with that said...
I adore this couple a lot, I think that he's way too good for her.. but it was still a great short read. I laughed so badly in certain parts of the book and that was what definitely kept me reading :)

Congrats to the author and I trust that some of the punctuation marks were corrected:)

A quick Christmas romance that is cute but not quite there in terms of delivery as it felt incongruent in the time-lapses and change of POV.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book received from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is a cute little holiday story about ex-best friends meeting again after 10 years. Based at Christmas time Carina wants to surprise her fiance by gifting herself to him at a hotel room. She ends up getting delivered to the wrong room where she meets Rad. After eventually getting to the right room she finds her fiance cheating on her and goes back to Rad.

The timing in this story felt a little off to me. The first half of the book is Christmas eve, and then the last half jumps 3-4 times throughout the next year. There were also flashbacks as well which was nice to see where Rad and Carina came from but I felt the story could have been longer and showed us more what happened in between the time jumps.

Other than that the story is great to read around the Christmas time, and you get to see what the holidays are like in New Orleans.

This was a short but charming Christmas story full of laughter. It was a light novella full of wit, charm and adorable characters. Carina decides to surprise her fiancé by having herself delivered in a wrapped Christmas box to his hotel room. Only to be delivered to the wrong room and with stranger. She never expected to discover her fiancé with another woman. Realizing the stranger was actually Conrad (Rad) LeBlanc, her childhood friend, gave her something to keep her from falling into despair. Rad had loved Carina all his life but she never realized it. Now several years later will they get their chance of love together?

A funny story... Talk about fate and getting delivered to the wrong room lol.. Sparks fly between Rad and Carina finding each other years later after having a falling out between them..

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an advance readers copy of this story.

The Christmas Mistake, by Josephine Templeton, is available at booksellers on 12-1-2020. It's a cautionary tale for those thinking about doing something out of the ordinary to a loved one. Boy did it go wrong, until it went very right. The characters are fun, even the cheating boyfriend has his moments. I liked the plot and a good Christmas book always has my attention. It was an enjoyable read.

3 stars for this second chance Christmas love story!

Thinks with Bart and Carina. On Christmas Eve, Carina decides to travel from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to New Orleans to surprise her fiance. She is the one that ended up surprised. First, she is delivered to the wrong room, where her high school best friend is staying. Then, next door, she finds Bart with a dominatrix. The positive of this, is she reconnects with Rad, her bff. The romance is slow burn, with a HEA. Cute story that can be read in one sitting! Very fast read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the story in this book a brilliant read.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review of the book. This was a sweet romance set in New Orleans. This is a great holiday read. Cozy up by the fire with some hot chocolate and dive in. It will brighten your holiday and put you in the Christmas spirit.

This book was cute, not my favorite but it was a fun read. I did not like the main character. Not one I would read again but decide for yourself.

Thank you NetGalley and GenZ Publishing for the ARC of The Christmas Mistake by Josephine Templeton.

Carina's fiancee has to work over Christmas so she's heading to surprise him at his hotel room. But, Carina gets dropped off at the wrong hotel room. Dun dun dun. Carina's fiancee is not the perfect man but rather an ass. An awkward meeting brings two old friends back together. Throw in the magic of New Orleans and you have the foundation for a fantastic book.

I loved the beginning of the book. I thought all of the scenes that took place in New Orleans were fun to read and cute. I liked the switching back and forth between Carina's and Rad's point of views. I loved the flashbacks to their childhood friendship. But, when Carina and Rad return home, the story just dragged for me.

If the book had ended with them leaving New Orleans, The Christmas Mistake would have been a five star read. But, the story sank in Baton Rouge and The Christmas Mistake ended up as a 2.5 star read for me.
