Firefighter Under the Mistletoe by Melissa McClone. Publisher: Harlequin, November 2011

Christmas magic in Hood Hamlet…

For Leanne, infuriatingly charming firefighter Christian Welton is out of bounds. Not only is he too young for her, but his trail of broken hearts is legendary. Leanne’s fought hard to be one of the boys, and won’t let anyone see that Christian’s smile makes her want to melt into his arms!

Christian wanted to discover the softer side of the tough-talking paramedic, but hasn’t counted on how much the real Leanne affects him. He’s vowed never to settle down, but under the mistletoe it’s certainly the season to be tempted.

Whenever I read Melissa’s stories, the magic of romance warms my heart and I wish I was the heroine of her stories having that happily ever after. This one is even special since it happens at Christmas when magical surprises are in the air.
