About the Book:

After years as a hostage in Afghanistan, wounded journalist Will Sinclair retreats to idyllic Sugar Creek, Arkansas, to finish his memoir and get his life back on track. As if the town’s match-making mamas aren’t enough trouble, his own meddling family descends on him for the holidays. To get them all off his back, Will plots a ridiculous idea. He just needs the right woman. When he finds a bossy decorator in his yard, it’s more than her ugly Christmas sweater that makes her the perfect pick.
Cordelia Daring loves her life as a foster mom and entrepreneur. But when she finds herself in need of money, Will’s offer comes just in time. Pretend to be his girlfriend for two weeks? She can handle that. Sure, she flunked drama in high school, but how hard could it be to pose as the arm candy of famous journalist Will Sinclair? Never mind that her foster son adores him. Or that his family is everything she’s ever wanted. Because when the deal expires, Cordelia intends to take her money and run.
As the holiday draws near, their pretend relationship spirals out of control. And Cordelia’s not sure she wants it to unravel. If these two hope to make it till December 25th, they’re going to need some serious Christmas magic. . .
If you like heart-warming characters, small-town romance, and laugh-out-loud moments, you'll love this visit back to Sugar Creek.

My Review:
This was such a fun and heartwarming story!  Don't worry, though--Jenny B. Jones' trademark wit and humor abound within the pages!

In fact, I can honestly say that Jones is in my top three favorite contemporary and YA authors--of all time!  She has a unique talent for turning a phrase that settles well in my wheelhouse of humor, and I adore her for it.

I vaguely remembered Will Sinclair, so I did some research and discovered he was in--kind of--There You'll Find Me, one of my favorite Jenny B. novels.  I was thrilled to discover the entire Sinclair clan makes an appearance in 'His Mistletoe Miracle', and I absolutely am down with any trip back to Sugar Creek, however long I get to remain.

Cordelia was a girl after my own heart, and I loved her from the moment I met her.  Her foster mom status resonated with authenticity and emotion.  She was rich and vibrant and funny--whether on purpose or on accident, depending on how Jones' typed her!

I heartily recommend 'His Mistletoe Miracle' to you: even though Christmas has passed, it's always a good time for miracles, romance, and a great read from Jenny B. Jones!

Until the next read,

Deena
