Blog Tour Review: The Mistletoe Pact

 | Apple |  |

Two single thirty-year-olds. One marriage pact. And a night in Vegas that’s about to change everything…

On Christmas Eve eight years ago Evie and Dan made a pact: if they weren’t married by thirty, they were going to marry each other. Of course, neither of them took it seriously, even if Dan has always been mesmerised by Evie’s beautiful smile, and Evie has always fancied Dan, her best-friend’s brother.
But then “it” happens. They wake up on Christmas Eve, the night before Evie’s thirtieth birthday in Vegas… married. In a honeymoon suite filled with hundreds of heart-shaped pillows, they realise too late what they’ve done – just like Ross and Rachel.

Surely if they just get a quickie divorce, they can go back to the way things used to be, right? If it wasn’t for the alcohol and Susan-with-the-huge-beehive-hairdo who just wouldn’t take no for an answer, none of this would have happened. They can just go back to being friends.

Except moving on is easier said than done when you’ve secretly loved each other forever… but if one of them doesn’t admit that, what happens to their friendship? If they don’t get together this time, what happens to the pact? Are they really ready to let it go for good?

Fall in love this Christmas with this feel-good story about love and second chances. Fans of One Day in December, This Time Next Year and Beth O’Leary will adore The Mistletoe Pact.

This was my first Christmas read of the season! I really enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere and revisiting it with Evie and Dan through the years as they explore their relationship. The Mistletoe Pact is a lighthearted holiday read but does touch on some more deeper themes especially family issues which definitely adds a unique depth to the book. There are many interesting side characters, mostly their family and their involvement helps the plot and adds to the readers investment in the overall story, however my main focus stayed on if Dan and Evie end up together as lovers or friends, or nothing at all?

If you’re in the mood for a holiday romance you should definitely check out The Mistletoe Pact.
