Balancing my career with being a single dad has become a bit of a challenge. According to my daughter, Cobie, I’m a world-traveling workaholic who doesn’t spend enough quality time with her. So, this year, I’m whisking her off to Paris for a two week Christmas vacation of a lifetime and leaving work behind, except for a brief stop in Lake Mistletoe, Idaho to snap photos for a travel magazine feature.

Cobie and I are forced to seek refuge in the town's cozy Gingerbread Inn when one of our bags, the one holding our passports, goes missing. As days turn into nights, I start to discover the charm of Lake Mistletoe and its tight-knit community. Along the way, I find myself slowly letting go of my rigid work-focused mindset, and opening up to new experiences and relationships, while Cobie embraces the small town ambiance.

An unlikely bond develops with Sela Prince, a local with a warm heart and a penchant for seeing the beauty in everyday things. I’m attracted to her tenacity and vibrance for life. As we share stories, laughter, and challenges, our connection deepens and I’m finding it hard to remember the reasons why I can't stay.

When the holidays are over and our blissful bubble bursts, I have to decide if I want to return to my fast-paced life or embrace the newfound love and sense of belonging I’ve found in Lake Mistletoe. With Sela and Cobie by my side, can I take a chance on a different kind of future?

Heartwarming!
Stranded in Lake Mistletoe is a heartwarming novella to kick off your Holiday season. ⁣⁣Sela is responsible for showing Issac and his daughter, Cobie, around Lake Mistletoe when he arrives to take pictures for the magazine he works for. A bond is formed quickly between all three. ⁣⁣Issac and Cobie get to experience the most wonderful festive Christmas in Lake Mistletoe. I loved experiencing the magic of Christmas from a child's eyes. I wouldn't want to leave! At one point Amber describes a hot chocolate bar with pastries and cookies. Let me tell you I needed hot chocolate immediately!⁣⁣This novella is like a Hallmark Christmas movie and will bring you the same happiness.⁣⁣𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲: ⁣- 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘥⁣- 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘯⁣- 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴⁣- 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘝𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮⁣

    OMG Santa is real in Lake Mistletoe. He knew Colbie's secret.

    I loved the last book of this little holiday series. Isaac & Colbie (his daughter) have a holiday trip planned for Paris with a pit stop in Lake Mistletoe. Where Christmas magic happens. Needless to say Colbie was not thrilled about going to Paris and she feel in love with Lake Mistletoe. She made a new friend and she loved everyone at the Inn. Well her Daddy fell in love at Lake Mistletoe also. Sela who worked in the Mayor's office was assigned to take Isaac and Colbie around the town so he could get pictures done before his co-worker Dawn arrived since he was leaving for Paris. They were doing a spread of the town for the magazine they worked for. But his daughter had other ideas. So cute. Even Isaac couldn't resist Lake Mistletoe's magic when it came to Sela. Such a sweet read and a perfect ending for the short series. This time however it wasn't a woman with a career choice it was a man and he didn't have to change his career because he found his perfect one. Oh Yeah and he made Lake Mistletoe his home with Sela.

    This was a cute holiday romance. It was lighthearted and featured the cutest secondary character in Cobie. There was plenty of holiday magic and cozy feelings.

    Isaac was in Lake Mistletoe for a photography assignment before his planned holiday vacation to Paris with his daughter. In the first week they spent in Lake Mistletoe, Isaac and Cobie meet Sela, who shows them all the best parts of Lake Mistletoe. Isaac and Sela enjoy their time together, but Isaac is only in town for his work assignment.

    Things did not go as planned for Isaac. He’s forced to spend more time in Lake Mistletoe when his bag with his passports and airline tickets go missing. As he spends more time with Sela and gets some much needed quality time with Cobie, his priorities start to shift.

    Isaac and Sela fell quickly for each other. With the help of some Christmas magic, they were able to spend even more time exploring their feelings and getting to know each other. I loved the pieces of Lake Mistletoe we got to see, especially the boat parade and the elf hunt.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023

    Please tell me Lake Mistletoe is a real place and that I can move there, or at least book a Christmas stay at the Gingerbread Inn! With all the hallmarks of, well, a Hallmark Christmas movie, this mystical small town in the Idaho mountains will make you eager to dive into all things Christmas.

    Isaac Ralston is in Lake Mistletoe with his eight-year-old daughter, Cobie, to shoot some pictures for the travel magazine he works for and then jet off to Paris for a special holiday with his little girl. You’ve heard the saying “When man plans, God laughs,” right? But this time, I think it's Santa laughing because the day they’re supposed to leave for Paris, Isaac and Cobie's passports are nowhere to be found.

    In just a couple of days, Isaac and Cobie are enveloped by the people, places, and events of Lake Mistletoe, so extending their stay is no hardship. And then there's Sela Price, the local who’s assigned to show Isaac around town but becomes so much more to both him and Cobie.

    Seriously, if you’re not ready to be infused with the essence Christmas, do not read this romance. The warm, welcoming people, the fun Christmas events, and the depth of heart overwhelmed me and made me feel like a part of this town, and I couldn’t get enough.

    I love this one so much I immediately grabbed the other two books in the series so I could get more of Lake Mistletoe. Charming, heartwarming, and enchanting, this sweet romance will make you a believer of Christmas magic, so don’t miss it!

    It's a pleasant read, but it felt rushed and a bit shallow. It honestly would have benefited with a few more PG moments between MCs to make the transition to spicy parts feel more natural and a much longer epilogue.

    During the entire first half of this story I felt like I was reading a Hallmark screenplay. It’s such a cute holiday story and the fact that that it involves a single dad and his daughter makes it that much better. Just after the fifty percent mark though, things ratchet up a bit and we get some super romantic scenes that heat things up. The overall story is perfect to get you in the holiday spirit with plenty of fun traditions and lots of Christmas cheer. It’s perfect to get you in the mood for the holidays.

    Sela and Isaac were the perfect match for this novel. If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would. Amber brought back the sweet town of Lake Mistletoe and I loved it. Cobie and Issac land in Lake Mistletoe for a photo assignment of the holiday festivities the town has. What starts as a pit stop turns into a Christmas neither of them will forget. Sela is trying to open her own museum to honor her town and the rich history, when she becomes the tour guide for Issac and Cobie their connection is instantaneous and has you swooning from the start. Sela and Issac’s connection burns hot, although they think it’s a one and done Cobie manages to make their stay in Lake Mistletoe more permanent. I’ve loved this series so much if you’re looking for a heart warming holiday season read go grab the other two books along with this one you won’t be disappointed and will be anxiously awaiting the next release.

    I love Christmas so this book was always going to be on my radar but this story went way above my expectations and I was touched on so many levels by this sweet, fun holiday read.
    Isaac is in Lake Mistletoe with his daughter Cobie doing some photography work before they head to Paris for Christmas, well that was the plan……
    From the moment they arrived they were welcomed into the life of the residents and that’s when Cobie decides she wants to stay but can she convince her father. One click to find out if she succeeds with her Christmas Wish.
    This is a sweet, fun, entertaining read with adorable characters

    I love being in Lake Mistletoe at this time of year its so magical. Amber's done it again i loved Sela and Isaac's story and i fell in love with Cobie just as much. It felt like visiting old friends. I didn't want this story to end and i loved every moment. Its lovely to see where everyone has got to and don't want to give spoilers but they all made me smile. I love these books and hope Amber hasn't finished our trips as i want more of these stories. I love that Garrett was mentioned which tied up so nicely with Balsalm Ridge!!! An amazing story that i loved.
