Book Review: Avoiding the Mistletoe

A desperate heroine. A wounded hero. 

A perfect recipe for a delightful historical romance.

"Avoiding the Mistletoe"by Anne Green


Set in 1865, at the end of the Civil War, Olivia Rose Baker, widow, leaves her dying hometown in Massachusetts with her younger sister, Darcy, to become ‘mail-order-brides’ in the male-dominated, fledgling city of Seattle. 

But the cost of their paid passage comes with strings. Once they arrive in Seattle, all the ‘Mercer Girls” must marry these men hungry for wives and help the new city grow.

But Olivia balks at that. She has no interest in marrying again. Ever. Her desire is to find a teaching position in Seattle. But she does want to see her sister married and settled.

Enter ex-Confederate soldier Stark Macaulay, now the sheriff of this struggling northwestern town, who is instantly attracted to Olivia.

But she’s having none of it. She wants nothing to do with him, nor any reminders of the former Confederacy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novella, from start to finish. It was fun to watch Stark try to break through Olivia’s barriers … and equally interesting to see Olivia warding him off, despite her growing attraction to him.


So what does mistletoe have to do with it? I encourage you to get a copy of “Avoiding the Mistletoe’ and find out for yourself. I guarantee you a fun read.
