Romancing Wisconsin Volume I (Christmas Boxed Set) by Stacey Joy Netzel
I love Stacey Joy Netzel's writing! The male main characters are hot, tender, and charming! How can you not fall in love with them!
Mistletoe Mischief
I fell in love with Eric right away from the description and his actions. Matching him with Marissa was perfect! Two divorced parents wanting to raise their daughters while having been married to less than stellar spouses in the past quickly recognize how together their lives complete a perfect picture! Yet Marissa has one more surprise for Eric!
Mistletoe Magic
It's hard not to believe in Santa when he's your Grandpa! Our little elf from Mistletoe Mischief, Janelle, meets Major Mark Riley who turns her life upside down more than once. If Mark had only known that the crazy animal activist that refused to move from the land he purchased was the beautiful Janelle perhaps he would not have chosen to evict her and her animals. Can Santa's magic bring Mark and Janelle together this Christmas Eve?
Mistletoe Match-up
Sparks fly when two former high school classmates/competitive rivals are matched to walk down the aisle together as a bridesmaid and groomsman in the wedding between her brother and his cousin. Have they put their competitive rivalry to rest? Hardly. Soon competition blooms between Lisa and Derek. What happens when circumstances/ fate/ karma continue to throw these two together? Can Santa Butch pull more magic out of his bag?
Mistletoe Rules
A novella that gathers the whole Riley clan together at Christmas where Grandma and Grandpa share the story of how they met and the importance of Mistletoe Rules!
Absolutley loved Sue and Ben's story of how they met and the beginning of the Rules of Mistletoe!
SPOILER POSSIBLE in this paragraph:
If you're like me and want to know how the Riley's family tradition began before you start the first book in the boxed set, you can do as I did. I started with the last book in the boxed set, Mistletoe Rules, at the phrase "Thirty-five years earlier". For me, it did not take any enjoyment away from the overall arc of stories. That is something only you know if you will do based on your individual preference. Either way will be a treat.
Stacey Joy Netzel is a phenomenal writer. I enjoyed the books in this box set because she conveys the internal thoughts and feelings of the characters along with their actions and surroundings in such a talented way that I really felt I was in the story and omniscient about everything except Santa Butch's magic.

Love love loved it. Being from Wisconsin I could just picture the places listed in the book. Made it feel like it was happening right down the road. The first story Mistletoe Mischief was Eric and Marissa's. The second story Mistletoe Magic was Mark and Janelle's. The third story Mistletoe Match-up was Lisa and Derek's with a bonus story at the end of how the Mistletoe Rules really began with the love story of Sue and Ben. All were well written, short and beautiful romances. Cute part of the book May the Mistletoe forever be in your favor!

Christmas cheer.
Three short stories to get you in the mood for Christmas. Three strapping men who unwittingly alienate the women they're attracted to & have an uphill battle to win their affections.
Light & fun read with strong family theme.

Finished reading Spring in Wisconsin series. The characters are like people we know and you get caught up in their lives. Heartwarming and some humour and drama. Feel good books.

Melting
These three stories will definitely make you sigh and melt, I could only read one at a time needed time to recoup. I love this author, every book does not disappoint well written and totally engaging.

A nice trilogy. Wished the first story had been a full novel.

A quick, cheery and sweet read. With it being a boxed set, each later story had a detail from the couple before...which I found to be a good add.

This is a wonderful series. The chemistry between couples in all the books keeps you turning pages. Great romance with a little Mistletoe whimsy from Santa.
