Review: A Kiss You want to wait for
Rating: 5 out of 5

I not ashamed to admit it--I love a sweet but pure romance. I say pure, because Meet Me Under the Mistletoe is about two Christian people who are both intent on acting like committed Christians. And there is no one who can write that better than JoAnne Durgin.I say sweet romance, because from page one of this book you really want to see the two main characters together. You want to see them kiss under the mistletoe.I give this book 5 stars because it fills its particular category perfectly. No murder or mayhem, but a page-turner because JoAnne Durgin has a way with getting into the heads of these two really nice people, Jake and Julia. Jake is a hero firefighter, and Julia is a nurse. You feel the tugs on their heartstrings, as well as the Christian Spirit that just flows from both of them.The background characters are also hilarious. This author is a genius in populating her novels with characters you just want to hug and laugh with, everything from funny toddlers to wise-cracking cafe owners in small-town USA.If you like to sit down on one snowy afternoon, to be swept away with a sweet romance that has a strong spiritual thread, then I highly recommend this book.
