Five years ago, Dr. Lindsey Haggerty inherited her late father’s veterinary clinic, and with it, a constant reminder of how quickly she could lose those she loves most. So when a handsome new client asks her out, she's quick to shut it down. It’s Christmastime, and Lindsey’s only focus is making new holiday memories with the remaining members of the Haggerty clan—if only she could get her stubborn, heart-sick mom on board.
MJ Haggerty is still clinging to the beautiful life she shared with her late husband, but when she discovers Lindsey is burying the crush she has on the town's newest firefighter, the chance to meddle in her head-strong, independent, and chronically single eldest daughter’s life might be just the incentive she needs to come out of hibernation.
Not to be out-meddled, Lindsey seeks revenge by asking for help keeping an adorable puppy with an appetite for destruction. What Lindsey doesn’t anticipate is her mom hitting it off with the pup’s retired owner. As unexpected connections spark for mother and daughter, they each find themselves torn between the comfort of the familiar and the promise of what could be for Christmases to come.

A beautifully written story about love, grief, family, and moving on.
Meddling Under The Mistletoe was an inspirational story that will hold a special place in your heart. I finished the book last night and cannot get the story and the characters out of my mind, and I find myself recommending this book to my friends. It’s the perfect book for the holiday season and probably one of the books I will return to next holiday season. Meddling Under The Mistletoe is what I love about holiday books, especially how this book was written. I loved how this story was written with so much emotion, making me feel all the feelings that Lindsey and MJ felt, even the other characters. I laughed, cried, and got scared along with them all.
I enjoyed reading from Lindsey and MJ's perspectives, and if I were asked who my favorite was, I don't think I would be able to pick. My heart broke for both Lindsey and MJ, but especially MJ. I know that holidays are tough after you lose a loved one. However, I found myself hoping that MJ would find someone she could be happy with again. I enjoyed that this was not just a love story, but a story about family, and dealt with a few tough subjects, making the story so much more realistic. As I read, I found myself hoping that both MJ and Lindsey would find their happily after.
I loved how the romance between Lindsey and Oliver and MJ and Ron was written and how the relationships developed. I know they were both hesitant about it, but I hoped they would realize that it’s okay to move on. Meddling Under The Mistletoe is one where you fall in love with all the characters; at least that was the case for me. I loved the small town and the community, and the way everyone looked out for one another. In general, I loved everything about this story; the plot, the characters, the relationships. This was my first book by Melissa Grace and I cannot wait to check out her others. Highly recommended.
