pn_hinton 's review for:
The Mistletoe Motive
by Chloe Liese
This was a short cute read. I loved the banter between them and the nods to "You've Got Mail?" and "Pride and Prejudice". What I really enjoyed was how obvious it was to the reader (at least to me) that Jonathan had no animosity whatsoever towards Gabby at least not when we were introduced to them. Plus the holiday setting was awesome.
Minor spoiler (but not really because it advertises that it's based off "You've Got Mail" so.....) I like how when Jonathan figured it out, he leaned away from their online relationship to try to fix the real world one. Sure, he could have could have come out and stated who he was but he also knew that, with Gabby bein how she was, that would have been too much for her. That kind of care and consideration was really sweet.
That said there were some things that felt superfluous and unnecessary, such as the the ex-boyfriend. I understand he was there as a plot device to initially drive them apart but once he had served that purpose there was no need to keep him around, especially given how stalker-y he was at first and then he just gave up finally. And how much Gabby seemed to force the alleged rivalry between them.
But overall an enjoyable read and one I could see picking up again around the holidays to help prepare for it. Would recommend.
