This Christmas, something magical is happening in Sapphire Bay.

Kylie loves everything about Christmas. The lights, the carols, the snow-covered streets and, most of all, the smiles on the faces of everyone she meets. Well, almost everyone. When her friends ask her to organize the biggest fundraising Christmas party Sapphire Bay has ever seen, the florist inside of her is itching to get started. But that means talking to Ben Thompson, the closest thing to the Christmas Grinch she’s ever met.

Ben owns the only Christmas tree farm in Sapphire Bay, but that doesn’t mean he’s full of the Christmas spirit. He came to Montana searching for peace and quiet, but pesky Kylie Bryant, with her addiction to all things Christmasy, is driving him insane.

When Kylie helps him save his business, everything about her begins to make sense. She's getting under Ben's skin and making him feel alive. But a letter from his lawyer changes everything. Will a secret from Ben's past tear them apart or will they finally get everything they've ever wanted?

MISTLETOE MADNESS is the second book is the Santa's Secret Helper's series and can easily be read as a standalone. Each of Leeanna's series are linked so you can find out what happens to your favorite characters in other books.

I found this novel charming, sweet, and blessed by the spirit of Christmas. Small communities have their own special magic when people come together and achieve the impossible by pulling together. Ben is a city transplant and it takes time for him to come to the realization that there are folk willing to stand by him, if only he would let go and start to enjoy being in company. Kylie had her reasons for relocating to Sapphire Bay and she quickly discerns Ben's disability. When the Christmas Party is jeopardized by an unexpected disaster, Kylie turns to Ben for help and it takes all her ingenuity and quick thinking to make him see that there is a way to solve all their problems. This romance comes to a heartwarming conclusion and new beginnings for Ben and Kylie.

A wonderful romance story

I love reading good clean romantic novels especially about Christmas time. It was a too good to be true story but I loved it. Kylie and Ben and the whole town was so heartwarming in helping people who needed help through granting wishes. What a splendid idea of love and service. Including Charlotte just added spice to the story. I loved it. I also love reading Leanna Morgan’s books.

This was a cute and wholesome Christmas read with excellent writing and storyline. I liked the main characters, Ben and Kylie, along with the supporting characters. However, I found some of the challenges were resolved too neatly, without the expected drama, for lack of a better word. I like Leeanna Morgan and will continue to read her work, but this book wasn't for me.

Perfect for fans of clean romance with some real-life issues being worked out and fans who like that HEA.

Sweet, hopeful, and very Christmassy with a healthy dose of angst.

Ben is my favorite character and I can't share why because it would go into spoiler territory. But suffice to say, he's awesomer than awesome.

I give this book 5 Stars.

Fun holiday read

As my holiday theme book reading season drew to a close, I wanted to sneak in another book before my self-imposed deadline. I love small town romances, and I really enjoyed this one. I loved the characters and am looking forward to reading more in this series.

You did it again. This is once again a book that once you start to read, you don't want to put it down. You once again make me read until the birds wake up and tell me it's morning.

Loved this book!

Ben chose just the right town to settle in when he was searching for a new beginning. The way Charlotte came into his life and his reaction was heartwarming. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series!

Mistletoe Madness is a Hallmark movie in print. It's a love conquors all dream that wraps up far too neatly in a bow. While it has some "ahhhh" moments, it is far too unrealistic making it difficult to fall in love with the characters (and situations) that are "too good to be true".
