The master of the holiday novel presents the moving story of two people who brave loneliness and loss to find love.
Dear Universe,
Is anyone out there?

Nursing his own broken heart and loneliness, he finds himself falling for this sensitive, vulnerable woman whose feelings mirror his own. Following a trail of clues the author has inadvertently revealed, he discovers that she lives in the small town of Midway, Utah. He makes his way there just after Thanksgiving, determined to find her. But how could he confess cyber-stalking an unsuspecting woman?
Alex finally finds the one he seeks, a woman who is as beautiful and kind as he imagined she would be. But is he too late to change the decisions she has already made:

My thoughts: THE MISTLETOE SECRET is not a Christian book. As a result there is some beer drinking and other activities that most readers of this blog would frown at. However, I like Richard Paul Evans style and since he abstains from the use of curse words (thank you!) I will read his Christmas books.
This is written in first person in the man's point of view. He was a serious jerk at times, but it turned out beautifully at the end. I like the way Arie's friends stand behind her, prepared to run Alex out of time if he hurts her.
I also love the way that Alex and Arie fall into friendship even though she can't possibly be the one he seeks.
THE MISTLETOE SECRET is kind of depressing at times, but other times it is laugh out loud funny. I absolutely loved Alex's Marine friend. He is too funny. And put a native Floridan in Utah in an area that measures snowfall by feet and not inches is hilarious.
You'll want to read this book in one sitting.
I bought a copy of this book (but not on Amazon). All opinions are my own and a review was not required.
