Mistletoe in Mayhem Boxed Set

Christmas Chaos. This story is about Hennessy and Brian, and the planning of their wedding. I was glad when they began to take control of their lives. I enjoyed getting to know the others in this town and how they helped each other. Baby Bedlam. Now Jameson and Scott find what they are looking for in the forever department. This included children. How they dealt with fears and the very real problems with pregnancy. Both stories had their teary moments as well as a few laughs. This was the first book I have read by this author, and I am intrigued enough to go backward to read the first ones. I received an ARC of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

I love this series and so was very happy when I saw this boxed set of two novellas catching up with the Whiskey Sisters. Sometimes shorter stories feel a bit rushed, but these two definitely didn't, as they were really just intermingled stories of the town and the Whiskey Sisters and their family, with different lead characters. A Christmas Wedding in Mayhem The first novella is about Hennessy and Bryan and the planning for their Christmas wedding. They got together in the first of this series, 'Blame It On The Bet'. They want to be married on Christmas Eve, well Hennessy does as that's when her (deceased) parents got married, so there's a mad rush to get everything organised before Christmas. Throw in a wedding planner from hell from Bryan's previous big city life and things are thrown into turmoil. Luckily the wedding planner (who still had a 'thing' for Bryan although he didn't know when he hired her) is sacked - Hennessy was very patient, I would have sacked her long before she did - and so then there's a mad panic to rally the troops (i.e. the whole town) to sort the wedding out in time. Really lovely story, funny and emotional - the swans and the dozens of Santas did make me laugh! A Surprise Baby in Mayhem The second novella is about Jameson & Scott (from the second of this series 'Mischief & Mayhem') and the planning for their wedding. Jameson was married to Scott's brother, Win, originally and they had toddler Jackson (holy terror!), but are now divorced. But when Scott came back to town they found they had feelings for one another and are now planning their own wedding. But then there's a little glitch in the form of a surprise pregnancy! So Hennessy (first story) is pregnant, then Jameson falls pregnant, so there are baby hormones all over the place! Another very funny, emotional and engaging story. I've really enjoyed all the stories in this very enjoyable Whiskey Sisters series and can't wait to read Walker's story next.
