Mischief Under the Mistletoe by Stephenie Rowe
3 romance novellas wrapped in a boxed set. All previously published.

A Real Cowboy for Christmas by Stephanie Rowe
Oh these Stockton men, and that includes extended family like Dane, are totally irresistible! Absolutely swoon worthy, lovable and emotionally driven. Family is everything. I would give this one 6 or more stars it was so good.
6th book in the Wyoming Rebel contemporary romance series of cowboy brothers who overcome a really rough upbringing. Each can stand alone but don’t miss any of the gorgeous, generous men. You won’t regret a second of your time with them.
I really loved these two. Three with Emily. I felt sad for Jaimi just a bit because she is bitter about her mother’s death and afraid to move forward.

Wrapped up In You by Stephanie Rowe
A fantastic romance with depth and emotions that made me smile, laugh and cry. I really liked the hero and his instant recognition and attraction although he is not sure why. This made me fall in love a bit myself.
Cole Charbonneau returns to Mystic Island, Maine to sell his family legacy. It's time to let it go and get on with life. On the weekly ferry he sees a woman go out on deck into the frigid cold weather. Admiring her ambition to get away from the crowds, he follows her. There is something familiar about her and he feels the need to protect her from the slippery boat deck and the cold.
Willow Morgan has a reservation to spend Christmas on Mystic Island but quickly finds out that there is a mixup and she has nowhere to stay for the week. Asking to stay at the Inn that Cole has closed and is selling is a gamble because she knows they have a history together.


Jingle This
Angie got dumped by her boyfriend over Thanksgiving weekend. Christmas, joy and mistletoe is the very last thing she wants to see. Then Kyle walks in her office and she’s reminded that she’s been in love with him for three years. Maybe breaking up with “what’s his name” wasn’t such a big deal.
Emotional whiplash but Kyle is so romantic he’s worth falling in love with. He’s sweet and concerned with her and says the nicest things.
Humorous, sexy and HEA. Perfect short.
“The couch felt a little cramped with him on it. Perhaps she should sit on him to make more room.”

It was a bit early for me to start with the Christmas books, but I am glad I did it. These 3 books were my first ones to read by Stephanie Rowe. I love reading box sets or novellas in one book. And this one was great. I love the stories, especially the 3rd one. It became my favourite and it was the perfect Christmas getaway.
I loved the books and I will definately recommend 💖!

Christmas is the Season of Love in this Anthology by Stephanie Rowe!

In Book 1 “A Real Cowboy for Christmas” readers revisit the Wyoming Rebels series.

A promise to her dying mother leads Jaime to pack up her daughter and search for the brothers who never knew she existed. When she finds the Stocktons, she also finds true love in their best friend Dane.

I purchased this novel as a standalone years ago but that did not stop me from rereading! Love this family.

Book 2 “Wrapped Up in You” is the starter to the Mystic Island series.

Cole is returning to his childhood home, Mystic Island one last time to wrap up loose ends. “Kate” is running from the drama in her life to the last place she remembers youthful innocence. A connection that started as teenagers flourishes when circumstances trap these two together for the week. Between the Island’s history of keeping those it claims and Christmas, Cole and Willow can’t help falling in love.

Books 3 is a novella titled “Jingle This!”

Angie is a writer tasked with chronicling true love after being dumped. When the client is not happy with her article and threatens to pull the project, Angie’s boss intervenes. Kevin takes it upon himself to help and a long ago crush builds into more. What follows is a cute easy read in the manner of a Hallmark movie.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Three lovely romances set at Christmas. The first is a short traditional love story, the second is the most festive, while the third has plenty of humour. Joy!

REAL COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS
Loved Jaimi & Dane’s story!

As always, Stephanie Rowe’s writing brings us smiles, laughter, worry and tears. Each book in this series broadens our understanding of the Stockton family history and the roles each person plays in the love, strength and confidence of the others. Her characters are so well developed, we see them clearly and we cheer them on as they struggle with a myriad of life’s issues and celebrate with with them as they conquer their fears and stretch themselves to find their loves and expand this incredible Family.
Highly recommended!

WRAPPED UP IN YOU!
Do you love Christmas, romance and Christmas Miracles?

You’ll love this book by Stephanie Rowe. Mystic Island will draw you in as it does the characters. Both Willow and Cole have struggled with their pasts filled with betrayal, tragedy and grief and both are needing to find out who they really are. A precious time spent together long ago remains in their memories and sparks a new beginning for them both.
As always Rowe’s well developed characters have us sharing their angst, their confusion, their realizations and their love. We cross our fingers as we read hoping they will both free themselves of their anxiety, fears, guilt and sadness.
A wonderful book filled with joy and the beauty of Christmas miracles.

JINGLE THIS

From Devastation to Delight

As the story begins, our heroine has a pretty jaded philosophy on love as evidenced by this quote, “If you want true love, buy a dog” –Angie Miller
A recent breakup has damaged her romantic soul and even threatens to ruin her usual love of Christmas.

Rowe’s characters are great as always! You’ll want to hug them; but you’ll also want give them a boot in the rear sometimes! Throughout the story I especially enjoyed Angie’s relationship with her BFF Heidi.

Jump in to JINGLE THIS to enjoy a fun roller coaster ride with Angie as she questions herself, struggles to renew her confidence and eventually allows herself to let real love into her life.

I loved this box set by Stephanie Rowe. Three romance books with Christmas magic.

- A Real Cowboy for Christmas: As a single mom Jaimi travels to Wyoming after promising her mom that she would look for her brother's. She is not adventurous and is cautious in making it aware to her brother's who she is. Dane believes family is important. He would do anything to protect his family. Can Jaimi kick butt to her inner wimp and open her heart to having a new family? Will Dane reach her heart and trust?

- Wrapped Up in You: Have you ever had a connection with someone were you can talk about your fears and insecurities? It has been 15 years since the last time they have met. Coming back to Mystic Island to have her first real Christmas experience is what Willow has been looking forward to. Misfortune strikes when she books a room for the following year. With no were to stay, she goes to the only hotel that might have a room. Cole has left Mystic Island behind and has come back to break all ties to this place. Cole has run away from the pain that the Island has brought, but little does he know that this time the magic of the Island will bring him what he needs. Will Willow and Cole remember that special day they shared 15 years ago? Can Cole give Willow the Christmas she has always wanted? A must read book

-Jingle This: Have you ever been brutally dumped before Christmas? Is putting your work before love worth is? Read Jingle This to enjoy the story of Angie and Kyle. Angie is a writer for a company, who has lost the inspiration to write about unconditional love as she has been dumped by her boyfriend. Kyle is part owner of the company Angie works; he has a rule. Never get involve with an employee and the company always comes first. What happens when they realize that they have love one another? Will this Christmas holiday bring the jolly in Angie's heart? Will Kyle let Angie slip away or will he take a risk for love?

4 star review of Mischief Under The Mistletoe by Stephanie Rowe
My favourite holiday of the year is Christmas, a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate. Mischief under the Mistletoe is a collection of three book-gs that brought a smile to my face.
A Real Cowboy For Christmas: I love single parent stories and quickly became invested in Dane Wilson and Jaimi Hamilton’s story. From the moment they met I felt as through these who were meant to be together, through in Jaimi’s daughter and I knew we were in for an entertaining ride. The characters were easy to relate too and it was heart warming to watch their relationship develop. Could Jaimi finally have found the missing piece she never knew she was missing in Dane?
Wrapped Up In You: From the first chapter I was hooked on this story about Willow and Cole. Both of them have gone through so much. The grief they suffer is real and I really felt for them. This is a second chance at love story and if you believe in the miracle of the holiday season then this book will be right up your alley. Watching their love grow brought a smile to my face and I was cheering for them to get their happily ever after. The charterers were well developed and the story well written. Could Willow and Cole finally get a chance at happiness together?
Jingle This: Having recently come out of a bad relationship Angie has no intention of getting involved again. However fate often plays tricks on a person and for Angie that is what is about to happen. Three years ago sparks flew between Angie and her boss Kyle, but then he went and started dating her sister. Who does that right? However fast forward a few years and both of they are now free. Since Angie has lost her Christmas spirit Kyle decides it’s up to him to help her get it back. I had a bit of a hard time relating to these characters but they eventually grew on me.

This set contains three previously published Christmas stories, two of which are set within different series. I hadn’t read read the books that came before either one, but didn’t need to to understand the stories.
Real Cowboy for Christmas was the first, as well as my favorite. I loved Jaimi and Dane’s instant connection and the premise behind their meeting. And her daughter Emily was a precocious spark plug who I adored! Loved it
Wrapped Up in You takes place on Mystic Island, Maine, and brings together Willow and Cole, two broken souls who have a connection from the past, but need to decide their futures during Christmas week. They were both engaging and complex characters who I was rooting for the whole time. Loved it.
Jingle This was a stand-alone (I think). Honestly, it didn’t capture my interest and I spent much of the story angry at all the characters, in one way or another. Neither Kyle nor Angie made me want to cheer for them, her family sucks and her friend is kind of a twit. I know it was written more than a few years ago…maybe it was just a case of an early career book that needed more polish.
Regardless, I enjoyed the collection.

A Real Cowboy for Christmas
Jami and Dane, it's an insta love story on behalf of Dane and Jami is not too far behind, but the reason she is in town is quite the complication. It puts Dane in the middle of his family and the woman he loves. Emily is a hoot, and she calls her mom out on her "inner wimp", just like her grandma told her to. The best line in this book, "I'll hold us together until you are." A lot of sweet moments in this book.

Wrapped up in You
Cole and Willow. I loved the opening few chapters on the ferry. This story was a little about lost loves and what could have been, it's also about holding onto grief. No matter where you go, it always follows you unless you deal with it. I was thinking it was going to finish up one way, but it was a different way for their HEA. It was a nice easy read. "My treasure".

Jingle This
Kyle and Angie, each lusting after each other, but not willing to tell the other person. Loved her inner dialogue when she was fantasizing. It was an enjoyable read.

I voluntarily reviewed this boxed set.

Will Willow and Cole remember that special day they shared 15 years ago? Will they reconnect? Super sweet story.

Christmas has come early with this great set of books by our much love swoon-worthy Stephanie Rowe, love a cowboy romance then you covered with A Real Cowboy for Christmas has you covered, our mistress of the cowboy romances has done it again with another brilliant read, be prepared to fall in love with an extra special Christmas with the Wyoming Rebels. Every one of these books in this series makes me wish I could transport myself there and start over with this family, be prepared for some tissues for this one though. Then be prepared for some either greater swooning and finding your next book boyfriends with Wrapped Up in You, this when gave me those warm tingles all over and last but definitely not last, Jingle This, and oh boy what a way to finish.

This box set contains three christmas novels by S. Rowe.
A Real Cowboy for Christmas a Wyoming Rebels novel. What happens when a single mom falls for the best friend of the brother who doesn't know she exists? An unexpectedly delightful cowboy holiday romance.

Wrapped Up In You, Mystic Island book one. A heartwarming new Mystic Island series, where love always finds a way in this enchanting coastal Maine community. In Wrapped Up In You, can a moonlight kiss from twelve years ago heal two hearts that no longer believe in love?

Jingle This, Love. Diamonds. Mistletoe. And a one-on-one holiday assignment with a very sexy boss. Put it all together, and it's enough to ruin a girl's day.

I loved all three books, but I admit to Jingle This taking a few chapters to really enjoy the story. My issue with the story was a personal preference, not the writing or story itself. A Real Cowboy for Christmas was amazing!! The Stockton men always pack such an emotional punch. There is always intrigue, heart melting romance, such deep seated pain and laugh till you fall over humor! Stephanie Rowe is an amazing story teller! Wrapped Up In You was also a great story that packed an emotional punch. I want a series of that Island, amazing!!

I really enjoyed all these short stories. I've read them all separately and am glad they're all together as they form a fun holiday set of stories. Really warm feelings from all the stories even though they are generally shorter than I would purchase separately I'm more than happy to read them all together as one set.

The perfect holiday read

This anthology has three holiday stories the first being "A Real Cowboy for Christmas". I already had and read this in her Wyoming Rebel's series which by the way I Loved all the books.
The second book is "Wrapped Up In You". What a fantastic love story of two people, Cole and Willow who met in Mystic Island almost a decade ago at the young age of 15. What they didn't realize was the bond they had already formed until by pure chance they meet again 10 years later. You need to grab this anthology if for no other reason to read this story.
And last and third book "Jingle This" is about a writer who lost her muse and spirit for the holidays when her long time boyfriend dumps her to start dating her sister. But as Angie battles through her negativity what she discovers is she was always in love with some else. You need to read to see how it plays out.
I really enjoyed these reads and so will you.

Turning up the Christmas spirit
Three Christmas stories - but it depends on what you prefer as to what order you read them. Personally I like the richer drama of A Real Cowboy For Christmas, so because I like to save the best for last, I’d read the stories in reverse order! Jingle this is a sassy rom-com, and Wrapped Up In You has a strong emotional impact - but the HEAs of each story are very satisfying!

Mischief Under the Mistletoe

I loved the convoluted intrigue in this story. Men who don't always think clearly about their actions, and the women in their lives. The women who felt they needed to make things clearer to their men, and what to do with the posers. Fun at Christmas time!
