Life has taken an unexpected turn for famous glaciologist Magnus Carstens, with the death of his brother and sister-in-law. He’s the guardian of his eight year-old nephew Jakob and he’s taken a new job in Mistletoe, Wyoming, better suited for a man of science trying to create a stable home environment for a young child. He and Jakob aren’t in town a week when he meets Lance Rivera, working in his sister’s shop, Holiday World. Lance is pretty disillusioned with life. His lover left, taking all their money, he can’t get a job in his chosen profession and he’s unhappy and lonely. When a challenge puts the men under a sprig of mistletoe, it makes them both realize that what they want is standing right there in front of them. All they have to do is reach out with both hands to find love, happiness and the family they’re looking for.
The Mistletoe Phenomenon is a cute, endearing and well written Christmas story from the first page to the last and destined for a place in my keeper file to be read and enjoyed next Christmas holiday season.
Lance is a real sweetheart. You have to love this guy. He’s cute, endearing, loyal, knows how to handle just about every situation, aside from problems in his own life, and he wants a family of his own so badly, I found myself rooting for him from the beginning. Then there’s Jakob. After the death of his parents, this poor kid deserves to have two adults to love and take care of him. Finally there’s Magnus. In the beginning, this guy is so socially inept I found myself wincing at nearly everything that came out of his mouth. Despite loving his nephew, he doesn’t know what to do or say to make him happy. That brings us back to loving house-Dad-wanna-be Lance. He and Magnus might come from vastly different family and professional backgrounds, but they fill in the holes that life has left in the other. Overall, it’s a case of strange circumstances and timing and a little sprig of mistletoe, bringing three people together to form a loving family.
