Blurb for THE TROUBLE
WITH MISTLETOE:
If she has her way ...
Willa
Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane Winters stalks into her pet shop with
frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his
hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat. But the last thing Willa needs is to
rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her ...
He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.
Saddled
with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell, Keane is desperate to leave her in
someone else’s capable hands. But in spite of the fact that he’s sure he’s
never seen the drop-dead-gorgeous pet shop owner before, she seems to be mad at
him ...
Unless he tempers “naughty” with a special kind
of nice ...
Willa
can’t deny that Keane’s changed since high school: he’s less arrogant, for one
thing—but can she trust him not to break her heart again? It’s time to throw a
coin in the fountain, make a Christmas wish—and let the mistletoe do its work
...

Willa Davis is up to her elbows running
her pet shop, taking care of animals, and helping other young girls who haven’t
had the best childhood to stay off the streets. She’s also doing her best to
avoid men because she’s totally off them, after her last boyfriend turned into
a stalker. When the guy from high
school, who she asked to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance and who then stood her up,
walks into her shop begging for help with his aunt’s demon cat, she is
humiliated further when he doesn’t remember her.
Keane Winters keeps most people at arm’s
length because that’s what he’s accustomed to from family, but there’s
something about the pretty Willa that makes him want to get close to her…he
calls it animal magnetism but perhaps it’s more. Can Willa show him that there
are more reasons to connect than stay disconnected? And what will she learn in
the process?
Jill Shalvis writes wonderful characters,
snappy banter, and the crew of the Heartbreaker Bay series is one of the best
cast of characters and enrich each story. This is especially true in THE
TROUBLE WITH MISTLETOE by Jill Shalvis, even though the story centers around
Willa and Keane, the secondary characters are as important to the story as the
main characters. Keane is sexy but vulnerable, funny, charming, and even though
he denies caring, he can’t help himself. Willa is adorable, quirky, and I love
that she takes care of everyone even though she hasn't really had anyone to take
care of her. Her love of Christmas, her love of animals, and the fact that she
puts everyone before herself makes her easy for me to relate to...I already know her well.
Why should you read THE TROUBLE WITH
MISTLETOE by Jill Shalvis? Because it will make you smile, laugh, fall in love,
and wish you had friends like the wonderful folks of the Heartbreaker Bay
series. I highly recommend reading this one and the first, SWEET LITTLE LIES,
and I definitely can’t wait to read the next one.
Happy Reading Everyone!
