From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone who gave us A Merry Little Meet Cute comes an extra spicy new holiday rom-com--'tis the season for second chances! What happens when there's no room at the inn and you and your potentially demonic cat become roommates with your grumpy one-night stand? Part-time adult film actress/one-time adult film director/makeup artist Sunny Palmer has accidentally sold her very first screenplay to the Hope Channel. That was six months ago. Fast forward to a looming deadline, an uninspired Sunny has returned to the source of her inspiration in Christmas Notch, Vermont, to immerse herself in the local Christmas miracle on which her fever dream of a movie pitch was based. Isaac Kelly, former boy band heartthrob and the saddest boy in the music biz, is the latest owner of the town's historic mansion. After his years of heartbreak following his young wife's death, Isaac's record label is done waiting for new music. What better place to attempt his first holiday album than a snow-covered mansion where he can become a hermit in peace? But after their best friends' wedding leads to them waking up together in a freezing motel room with questionable wiring and a broken shower, Isaac takes a chance and asks Sunny to stay with him at his home. Surely the place is big enough that he'll hardly see her or her unhinged cat. But when the two discover they're both creatively blocked, they make a handshake deal: Isaac will help Sunny hunt down the truth behind the local lore, and Sunny will find Isaac a new muse. And with these two opposites under one roof, there's no way this jingle bell mingle could go off script...right?

"I loved, loved, loved this book so much! A Jingle Bell Mingle is the third book of A Christmas Notch and is by far my favorite of the series. This book has loveable characters, it is emotionally complex and has great character development, a superb plot and is paced perfectly. Isaac and Sunny have amazing chemistry, and I adore their story, and the cat, Mr. Tumnus. The spice is scorching hot, and I mean HOT! I was giggly, blushing, and was smiling so much in this book. The descriptive details were phenomenal! This book gave true Christmas vibes with the chilly snowy nights and snuggled up next to a cozy fireplace. This will definitely be a Christmas time re-read! Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone truly did a wonderful job with this story.
The story follows Sunny who is a part-time adult film star who is trying to write a screenplay for a movie she pitched. While in the small town of Christmas Notch she reconnected with sad boy Isaac for another steamy one-night stand. The following morning Sunny's motel room turns into a nightmare and Isaac offers for Sunny and her possibly demonic cat to come stay at his mansion. Sunny agrees, and they soon discover they both have a creative block. Sunny will help him find his muse and Isaac will help her find more about the local lore."
