I loved the fact that they communicated with each other and in the process managed to resolve the issues that initially tore them apart. I admired Hannah for her dedication to her job, but she needed to find some balance. Time and distance in no way dimmed the spark which existed between them. I laughed, and I teared up watching James and Hannah trying to deny their feelings and realising that it was an exercise in futility. I had a wonderful time with this novella.

To make the situation worse, James would also be on the trip, not what she had signed up for. She lives for her work, and so she was far from amused when her mother’s actions placed her in a position of delivering bad news to Harry, while spending time with him on his boat for the holidays. A few years later, Hannah is a workaholic with no social life and no time for relationships.

However, losing someone close to them both coupled with their thirst for different things in life led to them drifting apart. Now Hannah and James have been friends since childhood and as the years went by their feelings for each other developed beyond friendship. In this story the reader met Hannah, her step-father Harry and James. Set on a boat, sailing the Caribbean Sea, Mistletoe in Paradise provided me with a sweet, second chance, friends to lover’s romance.
