Mistletoe Kisses Books in Order

Mistletoe Kisses is a holiday romance line built around short, festive standalones, and Maddie Evans's entry, A Wood-Fired Christmas, uses that format well. It is seasonal, cozy, and easy to read quickly, but it still has a strong workplace backbone and a specific sense of place.

The heart of the story is a pizzeria.

Ezra has been slinging pizzas there since the beginning and has grown used to doing things his own way under an absentee owner. Then Lacey arrives as the new owner, with ties to the old one and plenty of ideas about what should change. That gives the book immediate friction. He knows the rhythms of the place. She now carries the responsibility for its future. Neither is entirely wrong, which makes the conflict more fun.

Because this is an Evans romance, the food and work details matter. The oven, the dough, the holiday rush, and the practical question of how to keep a beloved local business going all help the relationship feel grounded. The Christmas setting adds parties, lights, and a little extra emotional softness, but the romance still grows out of shared effort and reluctant respect.

If you like holiday novellas that feel warm without turning sugary, this is a nice choice. It is especially good for readers who enjoy workplace sparks, small-town businesses, and seasonal romances where love grows right alongside the question of how to keep something worth caring about alive. As part of a collaborative line, it stands perfectly well on its own.
