It must have been the mistletoe by Judy Astley


This is the first book I have read by this author and I look forward to read her summer read in my to read pile .

In this story we meet a great family celebrating Chirstams away from home and there's some big announcements along the way.

Thea is nursing a broken heart from longing for the baby she lost that was due on chirstmas day too
the ex boyfriend that left her for his pedigree dogs and finding hard to ,let him go completely form
mind and heart.

Emily is the baby of the family but is the worrier but only truly in control when she is counting
number at work, she is married to Sam is the calmer one of the partnership and is a stay at home dad too they two children.
We also meet Jimi the bigger brother but he does have any dramas but always there at the right time to say the wrong thing to stir things up like all brothers !!!!!!
Mike and Anna are the parents who have been living separating for a year both still not sure if it's the right thing as they have been together for so long .......
They decide to book a holiday home in Cornwall for chirstmas  to softnen the blow of they  marriage breaking up and they moving on and hope the children take the news well.
They all arrive that they destination one by one when Thea arrives she bumps into  Sean the owner  after a little chat she comes away feeling that Sean was flirting and not sure if he asked for a drink, so
after a few hours of her family Thea she feels the need to escape  so goes and has a drink with Sean but still can't make her mind up but him so goes with Gay from the minuet !!!!!


What I like about his book I was not just reading Thea story but Emily's , Mike and Ann's too.

So Chirstams eve arrives so does the Snow to add to family drama!!!!!
So when Anna's "friend" decides to take up Anna's offer to come and visit if he has no else to go his does.... but Mikes " friend" cholotte is preforming in a near by town and decides to meet him for sneezing drink but that when in her getting stuck and Mike has to invite to have chirstmas with his soon too be ex wife that he is not sure of he wants her as an ex also the kids .
While this is all going off E,ily is working herself up with the sown storm thinking they are all going to be trapped for days /weeks also she has it in for Cholotte from the moment they meet , but Thea thinks there something going on that Emily doesn't want to share but that comes later in the book.

Within the madness Thea manges to escape on a mission with Sean to get fresh Mistletoe from the

forest which turns out to be a great date even thou she thinks he gay  but came away confused again
!!!!
Does the Mistletoe have sercert powers for chirstmas and the family well you will have to read the book to find out.
