Stranded in Lake Mistletoe by Amber Kelly

 


 
 

Synopsis:

 

Balancing my career with being a single dad has become a bit of a challenge. According to my daughter, Cobie, I’m a world-traveling workaholic who doesn’t spend enough quality time with her. So, this year, I’m whisking her off to Paris for a two week Christmas vacation of a lifetime and leaving work behind, except for a brief stop in Lake Mistletoe, Idaho to snap photos for a travel magazine feature.

Cobie and I are forced to seek refuge in the town's cozy Gingerbread Inn when one of our bags, the one holding our passports, goes missing. As days turn into nights, I start to discover the charm of Lake Mistletoe and its tight-knit community. Along the way, I find myself slowly letting go of my rigid work-focused mindset, and opening up to new experiences and relationships, while Cobie embraces the small town ambiance.

An unlikely bond develops with Sela Prince, a local with a warm heart and a penchant for seeing the beauty in everyday things. I’m attracted to her tenacity and vibrance for life. As we share stories, laughter, and challenges, our connection deepens and I’m finding it hard to remember the reasons why I can't stay.

When the holidays are over and our blissful bubble bursts, I have to decide if I want to return to my fast-paced life or embrace the newfound love and sense of belonging I’ve found in Lake Mistletoe. With Sela and Cobie by my side, can I take a chance on a different kind of future?

 

Review: 


 
Stranded in Lake Mistletoe is a nice, quick read. It's perfect for the festive season.

Isaac Ralston and his daughter Cobie arrive to Lake Mistletoe village to take some picture for a travel magazine. This is only a stop because they have planned to spend Christmas in Paris.
Sela Prince is asked by the mayor to show Isaac around the town, with its shops decorated for the holidays. What started as a job soon turns into a beautiful experience that will conquer Isaac and Cobie's heart.

I was enthralled by Isaac, Cobie and Sela's journey. I adored these characters. Isaac is a good man and father, but as Sela told him, he has to understand that life doesn't always go as planned and he has to enjoy his time with his daughter, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Sela is a very nice woman, who came happily back home after college. Their relationship is so easygoing, they are comfortable with each other, their physical chemistry is sparkling, and the attraction they share is steamy.

The bond among the small town residents is so inspiring. I wished to be there with them to be able to enjoy all the frenzied activities they organize for Christmas.
