An uncomfortable situation to say the least, author Dani Collins shakes up family relationships and subtly asks “when is a family member not a relative?”
Liz Flowers and Blake Canon, the lead characters of “Blame the Mistletoe ” give the answer – when two relatives were married to the family and since then have gotten a divorce. Because, that is how Liz and Blake actually met!
Liz was once married to the brother of Blake’s ex-wife and thus making Liz and Blake non-relatives, hence it was easy for them to act on their attraction to each other. Problem is that their children are still cousins and it made an awkward once they tell the kids. Or was it?
A drama-comedy, you cannot put down “Blame the Mistletoe ” once you start reading it. The book is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.
Blake Canon is smitten fast, but then he realizes he knows Liz. She was once married to the brother of his ex-wife.
Their children might be cousins, but Blake and Liz do the kissing—under the mistletoe – until their children arrive home unexpectedly, and family secrets are revealed. Now Liz isn’t sure she’ll stay in Marietta for Christmas after all.
