ARC Review: Mistletoe All the Way by Lauren Blakely

Publication Date: October 6, 2026

Lauren Blakely once again brings the perfect holiday spirit in Mistletoe All the Way! Eloise and Noah are the very definition of the grumpy-sunshine dynamic and I loved seeing how Eloise’s love for Christmas slowly wore off on Noah. The Mr Holiday competition was such a fun way to bring them together and really brought out the best in both their personalities.

I loved seeing how Noah’s grumpy personality transformed when he was around the animals that he cares for. It was such an endearing side to his personality, and I especially enjoyed seeing him interact with the kittens and his dog, Rusty. Like Eloise, this softer side was totally making me swoon.

Had it not been 100 degrees here while reading this, I could 100% see myself curling up under a blanket with this book! Mistletoe All the Way has the perfect cozy vibes for the holidays, and the love story between Eloise and Noah was just wonderful. Once again, Lauren Blakely did an amazing job on bringing her holiday romance to life!

Thank you to Atria Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
