Helpful Score: 2


Under the mistletoe is a compilation of five short Christmas love stories, all by Mary Balogh. As is usual with Mary Balogh's writing, each of the stories is very very good. However, being used to reading her full-length books, I find each of these stories a bit too harried for my taste. The heros and heroines almost always go from mere attraction to declaring love and marriage over a page or two, very unconvincing compared to other Mary Balogh's stories. But the premise for each story is good and quite believeable, and the spirit of Christmas is always the one constant factor that brings these poor souls together, so I guess that's the point.
