Review of Mistletoe Mischief by J.M. Madden

Mistletoe Mischief by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion of what I have read.

This book is the cut out scenes from "Embattled Ever After" (Duncan Wilde's story). This is not a stand alone book, this is a bonus of sorts, a treat to her readers!

Ms. Maddden writes Combat Modified Hero's in a way that makes them feel like they can be your co-workers, neighbors and yes even dear friends and lovers too! She gives us endearing people who have real fears about love and rejection just like we all have. She gives us a story that shows those fears and misgivings, she shows our heroes stumbling and in the end, how our heroes overcome them. As the saying goes...Combat modified doesn't mean the end, it's just the start of a new beginning.

Roger Stottsberry has been a long time favorite Lost and Found character of mine and I'd been hoping that he would have his own story of finding love. Ms. Madden does not disappoint her fans with this book of cut out scenes. Roger has a blind date, and on this date he wonders is it really is possible to fall in love in just one night.
We all know Roger to be this lovable, playful and thoughtful friend to the guys and Shannon at Lost and Found Investigations (LNF for short), but he's also harboring his own secrets and ghosts haunt his dreams as well. There's a lot more to Roger than meets the eye.

Cassandra is a brilliantly written character full of her own fears and has suffered her own tragedies in life. Ms. Madden has made her a strong character that's optimistic. Their story is quick paced and had me tearing up a time or two. Mistletoe Mischief indeed!

Gabe and Julie- we met them in the Kindle Worlds book "Reclaiming the SEAL"- that book about tore my heart out, but Gabe and Julie got a second chance and were reunited and my heart was pieced back together again. Their road was a long one and their move across country and their transitions into new jobs was another hurdle. Again Ms. Madden wows her readers with another insight into Gabe and Julie-Their story of love continues and it's a lovely couple of chapters that revolve around Christmas and finding the perfect gift to give to the woman who is the love of his life, His True North. This story too had me tearing up.

Zeke and Ember- we met them in "Embattled Minds". We get to see life with them a year later...reading the ending of this particular story in this book, well it had tears running down my face and a heart busting full of love for them! Zeke, Ember and Drew, what a loving family.

Have tissues ready because you are going to need them! Get the 3 ply, you'll thank me later.

If I could, I'd give this a 10 star rating! So well written and done because she loves her readers and wanted to give them all a little more.
