Tic-Tac-Mistletoe

Written by N. R. Walker

Narrated by Glen Lloyd

Hamish Kenneally is moving from Australia to the US for a fresh start, beginning with Christmas at his sister’s place in Idaho. When a snowstorm diverts his plane to Montana and leaves him stranded two days before Christmas, he hires a car and drives right into a blizzard.

Ren Brooks has always called Hartbridge, Montana, and his family hardware store, home. After a few failed attempts at love, he’s resigned to being single forever—after all, no guy wants to stay in his sleepy little town for long. And after his dad’s passing earlier in the year, Ren’s Christmas is looking bleak. But when a car runs off the road in front of his property, Ren pulls the driver out and takes him home to get out of the cold.

With the storm and the holidays leaving Hamish with nowhere else to go, Ren kindly offers a place to stay. Hamish is certain he’s crashed right into a Hallmark Christmas movie, despite more car delays and road closures and the prospect of not seeing his sister for Christmas. And with help from Hamish, Ren is beginning to feel a little Christmas cheer.

These two unlikely strangers have more in common than they first realise, and after two days of Christmas decorations, cookies, and non-stop conversation, it looks like Christmas might be saved after all.

Reviews for Tic-Tac-Mistletoe

[NeosoulNoona · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This story advertises itself as a Hallmark Christmas story and definitely lives up to it. I'm adding it to my yearly holiday lineup.

A few errors, and Schitts Creek and Legally Blonde mean nothing to me so could've done without all the references, but this is a very sweet story with 2 lovely MC's and 1 very cute dog. Well done Chutney!!

Very cute rom com book. Low spice and lots of comfort. A fast feel good read.

It's a Hallmark Christmas movie! Lovely and likeable MC's (although sometimes Hamish is a drama queen), and a cute dog too. Yes they fall in love quickly, but they both have learned that life is short so when you get something good you need to grab on and take the chance. One small thing: does it really take 90 minutes to drive 40 miles/65 kms, even in rural Montana and Idaho? Anyways, Glen Lloyd did a great job narrating. Overall I would listen to this story every Christmas on a snowy day, under a blanket and have a hot chocolate.

Formulaic Christmas story featuring insta-love between a stranded Aussie and a wholesome mountain man in snowy Montana. Nothing about this story — the setting, the characters, the “plot” — rang true. Fine to listen to when you’re in a holiday mood and want something *very* mild with way over the top sweetness.
