Do You like book Mistletoe And Molly (2012)?
I think I needed more time with the characters in this book to decide just how I feel about them. I pretty much liked Aiden's character and would like to have seen more of the silly antics that went on between him and Molly, but I'm still not sure I care for Molly very much. She often came across as someone who was more concerned with herself than the feelings of others *see spoiler*. If this had been a full length book and not a short story I may have grown to like Molly better, but as it stands, she's not one of my favorite characters. The story itself was a quick, mostly fun read with a few laughs tossed in. It's not overly time consuming, so I would suggest reading it for yourself and seeing how you feel about Molly.**SMALL SPOILER**She was willing to take their relationship to the next level without telling Aiden that she was still planning to leave town. To me that seems a bit heartless.

Mistletoe and Molly is a holiday novella by Jennifer Snow. Aiden Ford has been going in to the diner every day for lunch. He has noticed the beautiful waitress but hasn’t spoken to her except to order the very same sandwich every single day. Aiden is a successful business man, a consultant that helps people fix their public image. He makes a lot of money doing this and he’s good at it. He didn’t mean to be eavesdropping when he heard the waitress he had been noticing mention that she is down to her last $47 and that she needs winter tires on her car before it snows. So he thought he was doing her a favor when he left her a very large tip and the phone number to a garage that would put tires on her car for her.Molly Bishop can’t believe the audacity of the man. She doesn’t need his help. She’ll figure something out on her own. So she chases him down attempting to return his money. This turns in to a sort of war of good will. Molly and Aiden go back and forth meddling in each other’s lives, fixing things they think need fixing. Aiden is most definitely attracted to Molly but she is resisting. He is determined to win her over. Molly has fought hard for her independence. Her wealthy and successful father has tried to keep her under his thumb. She desperately wants to make it on her own.This is a short sweet story of two fiercely independent people perhaps drawn together for just that fact. As they meddle in each other’s lives, perhaps they might both realize that some changes can result in good things. Especially when you open your heart.

Reviewed by JoanneBook provided by the publisher for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookThis was a cute novella set around Christmas although not a typical Christmas story. There was romance and love, family and friends, sadness and happiness and a lot of playfulness between Aiden and Molly. Aiden was always around since he worked near the cafe Molly worked at and ate there every day. There was an attraction between them although it wasn’t really chemistry. The two of them started playing one upmanship with each other and Aiden always seemed to get the wrong end of the stick although it always worked out in his favor in the end. Aiden’s antics were always to help Molly in some way since he really listened and paid attention to whatever Molly said even if it wasn’t directed to him. It was fun watching their interactions and watching their growing attraction which Molly kept fighting especially when Aiden was doing a good deed for her. It was interesting to see how she handled assumptions she made that ended up being way off. His interactions with his sister’s family was heartwarming. There was nice closure but a few more chapters would have been better.I had previously read Mistletoe Magic by Snow which is also a Christmas novella and a good read. I look forward to reading other books by this author.Favorite Quote: Molly couldn’t remember laughing so hard as she dodged an eight year old, throwing snowballs. He cornered her at the end of the fenced yard, and she put her arms up in defeat. “Okay, I give up.” Tears of laughter streamed down her flushed face.
