The Mistletoe Promise

By: Richard Paul Evans

Narrated by: January LaVoy

A love story for Christmas—now a Hallmark Channel original movie—from the #1 bestselling author of The Christmas Box and The Walk.

Elise Dutton dreads the arrival of another holiday season. Three years earlier, her husband cheated on her with her best friend, resulting in a bitter divorce that left her alone, broken, and distrustful.

Then, one November day, a stranger approaches Elise in the mall food court. Though she recognizes the man from her building, Elise has never formally met him. Tired of spending the holidays alone, the man offers her a proposition. For the next eight weeks—until the evening of December 24—he suggests that they pretend to be a couple. He draws up a contract with four rules:

1. No deep, probing personal questions
2. No drama
3. No telling anyone the truth about the relationship
4. The contract is void on Christmas Day

The lonely Elise surprises herself by agreeing to the idea. As the charade progresses, the safety of her fake relationship begins to mend her badly broken heart. But just as she begins to find joy again, her long-held secret threatens to unravel the emerging relationship. But she might not be the only one with secrets.

Excellent Book

This audio book has become a seasonal favorite and well worth the time. One of Richard Paul Evans masterpieces. Right up there with my all time favorite The Christmas Box Series of which I have enjoyed both the books as well as the movies

Great story of love and forgiveness

I really liked this story. It's unique while being a females fantasy 😄. Not another sappy Christmas story. Just a really good Christmas romance book.

An Unusual Story

I expected one thing and got another. This was an unexpectedly good story with a nice ending that I really enjoyed. It was well read and I loved the contract that was presented. This book is more than a Christmas story. There were some real perals

couldn't stop listening

I'm purchasing another when I'm finished reviewing his third book!!! Amazing. He has a tendency to relate pain, filling the void with peace, and conquering I
in love. Very insightful!

Great Story

The novel was an excellent story with a great message that all should hear. The narrator had great emotion as she spoke the story aloud and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story.
