   Books Read in 2013 (1,075) No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Connorz | Jan 4, 2023 |  This is an amusing story with depth and sweetness, Easton's specialty. If that's what you want and m/m romance appeals, read this one. terriaminute | Dec 4, 2022 | 3.5 Stars Where to start. I’ve read some of the author’s other books and I was psyched that this would be another good one. But it in no way compares to Unwrapping Hank, which is far better. It’s clear many readers loved this story, so I’m in the minority. Per my rating system, I feel this was better than an average read, but I would prefer giving it only 3.5 Stars because I don’t feel it deserves four stars. The one thing, or rather character, that saves Mistletoe, is Fielding. His personality came through loud and clear. He was bright and alive, and it would be cool to know someone like him. On the other hand, Mick felt flat in tone. His thoughts and feelings recited words without the connection I wanted to feel, even though the author tried to imply how Mick felt through abrupt stoppages and exclamations of his speech. There was a lot of telling us how Mick felt, what he was thinking, so I couldn’t connect with Mick. I wanted to feel, but didn't. The story doesn’t have much angst, it’s slow paced, with most of it about Mick coming to terms with his bisexuality, or maybe he’s gay-for-you, or gay? I don’t know. It’s implied he’s bi, but it feels like he’s not, because Mick later suggests maybe that’s why he wanted to move away from the football friends and the women. One thing that made the story difficult to read was the formatting. It was terrible. Indentations for new paragraphs started almost in the center of the pages. If a comma ended the sentence, the comma started at the beginning of the next line. There were even half-words from end of sentence to begin a new sentence. I think someone needs to check over the formatting, because my copy was bad. Overall, it’s an OK story with Fielding the main attraction. His blossoming under the teachings of Mick surrounding the simple things in life, things he’d never experienced living with his mother, made the story. I found Mick uninteresting in speech and monologue, and wish we could have at least seen the story from Fielding’s pov also, because it would have livened up the story further. Blame It On the Mistletoe is a quick, low-angst read that I’d consider more of a winter story than a Christmas/ Holiday one. I wish I could give this 3.5 stars because four stars is too much, but the story is better than three, so 4 Stars it is. (  ) Penumbra1 | Oct 11, 2022 | "Love. Wow. I could feel the hearts and flowers and damn cupids floating over my head. Who would have thought? It was like some weird-ass Hallmark movie. A sweet and fun short story, and just what the doctor ordered. Loved it! ( ) NannyOgg13 | Mar 27, 2021 | ) ktomp17 | Mar 21, 2021 |
