THE CHRISTMAS MITTENS is a single dad holiday romance with a mystery added in.
From the blurb:
Fate is about to knit two men’s hearts into holiday joy.
Mitchell Baxter is a hardworking single dad trying to give his daughter the best Christmas a small engine repair shop owner can. Times are hard in the small town of Grouse Falls, jobs are scarce, and Christmas is just a month away. Mitchell is ever hopeful that the projected bad winter will blow in soon. Then he’ll be up to his elbows in snowblower repairs.
Until Mother Nature cooperates, he’ll keep busy fiddling with lawnmowers to sell next spring and crocheting mittens and scarves for the yearly town outerwear drive. Life is quiet, funds are tight, and he’s content for the most part. He’s had the love of his life, he has his little girl, and he has a mediocre income. He’s not looking for anything more. As long as his daughter is happy, then so is he.
When a striking stranger walks into his shop for mittens every morning for a week, Mitchell is more than a little intrigued. Especially since the drifter leaves a thousand-dollar donation every visit. Anders Becken isn’t at all what he seems. What is Anders running from, and will his mysterious past extinguish the attraction both men are feeling?
The Christmas Mittens is a standalone, small town, prince/commoner, insta-love, gay Christmas romance with a hard-working single widower, a mystifying newcomer, a clever young miss, a struggling but caring rural community, a ribald group of yarn enthusiasts, lots of classic TV detective references, a tiny dog with a big personality, and a warm as a homemade sweater happy ending.
Molly Otto's review:
Mitchell cannot help but be taken by the beautiful man staying at the cabin close by. Anders is drawn to Mitchell and his lovely daughter Gilda and wants to make his holiday season brighter. Mitchell knows Anders is hiding something, but when the mystery opens, he is not prepared for the whirlwind that his life is about to become. This story is set over a shorter time period, where the connection to me seems to quick for a non-fated mate's story. That is a personal preference for me alone, I can see how other readers will love how their romance forms. Together they face Anders past to be able to be open and as they are not who they are supposed to be. I highly appreciated how much Gilda was a main focus of this story, as it should be, or really is a single dad romance at all?
Heather's review:
This was a sweet, small town holiday romance with a royal twist. Instant attraction turns to instalove and sends Mitchell, Anders and Gilda on an adventure to Anders' home country - a Scandinavian island full of family with a hint of homophobia.. it was a quick and fun read that had me invested from the first moment Anders took the mittens...
