Mischief Under the Mistletoe (A Holiday Romance Boxed Set)

The best word I can offer is Yuck!

Wow!! All three of these books are absolutely amazing! All three books have different tones to them. Stephanie Rowe captures a unique take for the different characters in each book from funny to witty and charming. “A Real Cowboy for Christmas” just makes you dream of what ifs. Who wouldn’t want Sheriff Dane to sweep them off of their feet at Christmas! “Wrapped Up in You” is just a wonderful love story from start to finish. I just can’t get over “Jingle This”. These are books I can definitely see Hallmark making movies out of! So amazing! These books are definite reads for the holidays!

This box set by Stephanie Rowe has three romance books with Christmas magic.

- A Real Cowboy for Christmas: Jaimi is a single mom. She travels to Wyoming to look for her brothers who don’t know she exists. Dane is the best friend with her brother and would do anything to protect his family. Can Jaimi open her heart to having a new family? Will Dane be able to teach her to trust her heart?

- Wrapped Up in You: Cole and Willow shared a special moment 15 years ago. She has come back to the island to have her first real Christmas experience. Cole has come back to Mystic Island to break all ties once and for all. Little does he know that this time the magic of the Island will bring him what he needs. Will Willow and Cole remember that special day they shared 15 years ago? Will they reconnect? Super sweet story.

Jingle This: Angie is a writer for a company and has lost the inspiration to write about unconditional love. She has just been dumped by her boyfriend. Kyle is part owner of the company Angie works at. Kyle doesn’t date employees, but will they see they have loved each other before they lose their chance.

All are cute holiday stories. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book.

This made me really wish it was Christmas time already 😊

This box set was awesome. I really enjoyed each couple. I mean who doesn’t love the Stockton’s right? This is just me but I highly recommend reading the series from the start. It’ll just make all the little things make sense. That’s just me though.

There are so many emotions that you go through when reading each story. One moment you’re like yes this is perfect and the next you kind of want to strangle the characters lol the roller coaster of emotions is worth is though.

Cuddle up with a good cuppa and read this box set lol

Mischief Under the Mistletoe by Stephenie Rowe
3 romance novellas wrapped in a boxed set. All previously published.

A Real Cowboy for Christmas by Stephanie Rowe
Oh these Stockton men, and that includes extended family like Dane, are totally irresistible! Absolutely swoon worthy, lovable and emotionally driven. Family is everything. I would give this one 6 or more stars it was so good.
6th book in the Wyoming Rebel contemporary romance series of cowboy brothers who overcome a really rough upbringing. Each can stand alone but don’t miss any of the gorgeous, generous men. You won’t regret a second of your time with them.
I really loved these two. Three with Emily. I felt sad for Jaimi just a bit because she is bitter about her mother’s death and afraid to move forward.

Wrapped up In You by Stephanie Rowe
A fantastic romance with depth and emotions that made me smile, laugh and cry. I really liked the hero and his instant recognition and attraction although he is not sure why. This made me fall in love a bit myself.
Cole Charbonneau returns to Mystic Island, Maine to sell his family legacy. It's time to let it go and get on with life. On the weekly ferry he sees a woman go out on deck into the frigid cold weather. Admiring her ambition to get away from the crowds, he follows her. There is something familiar about her and he feels the need to protect her from the slippery boat deck and the cold.
Willow Morgan has a reservation to spend Christmas on Mystic Island but quickly finds out that there is a mixup and she has nowhere to stay for the week. Asking to stay at the Inn that Cole has closed and is selling is a gamble because she knows they have a history together.

Jingle This
Angie got dumped by her boyfriend over Thanksgiving weekend. Christmas, joy and mistletoe is the very last thing she wants to see. Then Kyle walks in her office and she’s reminded that she’s been in love with him for three years. Maybe breaking up with “what’s his name” wasn’t such a big deal.
Emotional whiplash but Kyle is so romantic he’s worth falling in love with. He’s sweet and concerned with her and says the nicest things.
Humorous, sexy and HEA. Perfect short.
“The couch felt a little cramped with him on it. Perhaps she should sit on him to make more room.”

Christmas is the Season of Love in this Anthology by Stephanie Rowe!

In Book 1 “A Real Cowboy for Christmas” readers revisit the Wyoming Rebels series.

A promise to her dying mother leads Jaime to pack up her daughter and search for the brothers who never knew she existed. When she finds the Stocktons, she also finds true love in their best friend Dane.

I purchased this novel as a standalone years ago but that did not stop me from rereading! Love this family.

Book 2 “Wrapped Up in You” is the starter to the Mystic Island series.

Cole is returning to his childhood home, Mystic Island one last time to wrap up loose ends. “Kate” is running from the drama in her life to the last place she remembers youthful innocence. A connection that started as teenagers flourishes when circumstances trap these two together for the week. Between the Island’s history of keeping those it claims and Christmas, Cole and Willow can’t help falling in love.

Books 3 is a novella titled “Jingle This!”

Angie is a writer tasked with chronicling true love after being dumped. When the client is not happy with her article and threatens to pull the project, Angie’s boss intervenes. Kevin takes it upon himself to help and a long ago crush builds into more. What follows is a cute easy read in the manner of a Hallmark movie.

I read the Stephanie Rowe 3 books. What fantastic stories to get you in the holiday mood. I love reading stories that get me in the mood for the celebration season and these 3 did that for me. Truly a must read for anytime of the year.

I received an ARC from the Author for my honest review.

A Real Cowboy for Christmas - 5 stars. This was a sweet instalove with a side of complicated family romance. Jaimi is a single mom who was unaware she had 9 half-brothers until her mother’s deathbed confession. She decides to go to the small town where they live just to see them but not to meet them. Dane is the sheriff in Rogue Valley and the best friend of one of Jaimie’s brothers. There is instant chemistry when Dane meets Jaimi and her daughter but forever seems out of reach. This is book 6 in the Wyoming Rebels series. The Stockton boys (and girl) will grab your heart and not let go. Sometimes the things in our lives that first appear to be disasters turn out to be unexpected blessings instead. The book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from a good romance - sweet moments, strong family bonds, sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, and so much love. The Stockton family loves hard and they love by surrounding you with goodness and strength. This story gave me all the feels.

Wrapped Up In You - 4 stars. This was a sweet second chance romance. Cole grew up on Mystic Island where his family ran an inn but left 10 years ago after two deaths caused enough pain for him to shut down emotionally. Willow grew up in a famous family and feels heart broken and unable to trust. When they were both 15 Cole and Willow shared a magical emotional (non-sexual) night together that neither one forgot. They meet again on the ferry to the island more than a decade later - Cole to get the inn ready to sell and Willow to find some Christmas magic and to feel like a normal person. The story was well written and the characters had depth and substance. Their individual pain and the healing from being together was palpable. This was a good start to the Mystic Island series.

Jingle This - 3.5 stars. This was a snarky workplace sort of second chance romance. Kyle is one owner of a marketing firm. Three years ago Kyle and Angie, one of his employees, had chemistry and seemed to be getting closer but he chose to date her sister instead of Angie. At the beginning of the book Angie was dumped instead of proposed to by her boyfriend Roger, who’s also her boss. Usually Christmas loving Angie is not feeling the spirit this year and she’s supposed to write a daily serial about the holidays, love and diamonds. In order to save the account, Kyle decides it’s up to him to help Angie find her holiday happy place and insists on being with her all the time. Being together so much revs up their chemistry again. The story was well written but the characters did not have as much depth as I normally like and while the story was set between Thanksgiving and Christmas it did not seem very Christmas like. Kyle and Angie grew on me as characters and midway through the book I was routing for their HEA and for Roger and Sheila to get their comeuppance.
