Calliope Cress and Alec Lamb don't get along, but that doesn't mean they're not attracted to each other. In fact, they've been having a secret fling while visiting their respective siblings in Denver. Calliope's plan to end things with Alec before heading out of town for Christmas with their families is put on hold when her car won't start, and she's forced to accept a ride from Alec. They're driving through a snowstorm when a close encounter with a reindeer sends them skidding into a ditch. Fortunately, they're rescued by the Krangles of Mistletoe Manor, who offer them a cozy cabin for the night. Will the close quarters - and a few kisses under the mistletoe - help Calliope and Alec realize that they're meant to be together?
I absolutely loved this laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and heartwarming story. Calliope and Alec had fantastic chemistry and their banter was hilarious. There were so many moments that stood out to me, but my favorite was when the Krangles found them after their car slid into the ditch. I couldn't help laughing at Alec and Calliope's fear of "serial killer Santa" and his reindeer henchman. The Krangles turned out to be a perfectly lovely couple, but I completely understood why Alec and Calliope were a little creeped out at first.
I highly recommend "Mistletoe Love Match" for all contemporary romance and romantic comedy fans. I look forward to whatever Krista Sandor writes next.

About "Mistletoe Love Match"
As far as Calliope Cress is concerned, there’s nothing merry about Christmas this year.
She’s stranded in a cabin with doctor-in-training Alec Lamb. Forget his piercing amber eyes and mouthwatering physique. The man might look more delicious than a plate of holiday sugar cookies, but the bloke is insufferable. Honestly, Frosty the Snowman has a warmer disposition–that is, until they’re alone and they can’t keep their hands off each other.
Call it enemies-with-benefits. Call it a holiday hook-up. But don’t even think about calling it love.
It would take a Christmas miracle for her to fall for him.
She’s ready to call off the tryst, but the spirit of the season has other ideas.
It’s said that a kiss beneath the mistletoe can spark true love, and the pair keeps finding themselves standing beneath the festive sprigs.
With a bit of help from Saint Nick, a wayward reindeer, and a dash of Christmas Eve magic, Calliope and Alec learn that the holiday detour they hadn’t anticipated could bring them exactly what they need and everything they’d never expected: a mistletoe love match.
