Review written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank USA’s Best-Selling
Author Josie Rivera and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may
bring you this review.
USA’s Best-Selling Author Josie
Riviera’s Candlelight and Mistletoe cover immediately caught my attention as it looked
like a sweet Christmas card. Lately, all I have been wanting to read is
Christmas books seeing it is this time of year. Candleglow and Mistletoe read
like one of the amazing Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel that I love to
curl up and watch. In fact, I think it would be great as a movie on that
channel and highly suggest Josie Rivera submit her manuscript. They are seeking
unsolicited writers as of February 2019. She would be an amazing addition to
the Hallmark Channel Christmas movie lineup! I would watch it and I know her
fellow readers would too.
What an incredible start to an
amazing book!! I love when authors jump right into the story within the first
few pages and hook you into the story! I was in awe and glued to the pages from
there on out til the book was done.
Josie created some intriguing
characters are so diverse that I have never read about before. Not to mention
she is an amazing storyteller too. I
love how these characters came together on a bus ride tragedy. Josie made me fall
in love instantly with a sweet little girl named Anjalia. That girl made my
heart melt. Later in the book I found out her story and it was a unique one. Noelle was a famous Pianist whom was very gifted
but was working out some issues of her own. Gabe who once was a small sickly
kid with diabetes was now a stunt double in the latest blockbuster film that
came out.
This book is dedicated to all Josie’s
wonderful readers who have supported her every step of the way. She is very
thankful of you.
She would like to acknowledge her
patient husband, Dave, and her wonderful three children.
In the note from the author she
mentions that she loves the warm holiday candles and how she learned a lot
about making the candles while researching this book. This was one of my
favorite parts of the book when Noelle learned how to make candles. It brought
a smile to my face as I fondly remember learning how to make candles as a Girl
Scouts back in the day. Grant it I didn’t make all the fancy kinds that Noelle
had to make in the shop. But I did get a feel and understanding for it.
Josie did something unique that I
have never seen many authors do. However, I do feel that it was quite fitting
for the book. She included her Butter Ball Cookie Recipe into the book. What is
Christmas without a Christmas Cookie Recipe?!
At the end of the book she includes an
excerpt of another Christmas book A Snowy White Christmas.
I would gladly read and review for
Josie again!! She is very gifted and no wonder she is on the USA Best Selling
Author List!!
