KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE is the story of Jack and Mary,
the parents of all the Sullivan's who have had their stories
told throughout this series. The story takes the reader back
many years to the early 1970's, to when Jack and Mary first
met and fell in love.
Mary Ferrer is a famous model, and has been so for the past
12 years. She is winding down her career in front of the
camera, and looking for new venues where she can use her
talents. While doing her last photo shoot in the cold
outdoors of December in San Francisco, she catches the eye
of the very good-looking and talented Jack Sullivan.
Jack is a brilliant engineer who, along with his partners,
has developed a revolutionary 'pocket planner' technological
device. It has been a tough sell, and the last company they
took the idea to was interested, but didn't know if they
thought it would sell. The company CEO gave the men 24 hours
to come up with a plan to sell the device to the public.
When Jack spots Mary, not only does he see the face that
could push his new product to the masses, he sees the most
attractive woman he's ever seen. He approaches her with the
idea to help sell the product for the three men. Mary is
intrigued with the 'pocket planner', and by Jack. The
attraction is mutual; but Mary has been badly burned in the
past by mixing business with pleasure. It's up to Jack to
convince her that he will never hurt her, and is capable of
both a personal and business relationship with her.
KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE is a sweet and engaging story
that stands on its own. There is no real conflict in the
book; it is a pretty straightforward story about how Jack
and Mary met and got their business off the ground. This is
strictly a love story, and a 'how it all started' story. It
is not necessary to have read all of The Sullivans
series
books to enjoy this one; but regular readers of the Bella
Andre series will undoubtedly get more out of it, as they
have heard of the love of Jack and Mary throughout the
series. There is also a bittersweet aspect to the read, for
reasons that are known to fans of the series. Lovely
poignant read, and it was good to finally find out how the
parents met and fell in love.
The Sullivan siblings have captivated the hearts of readers
worldwide, and this Christmas, New York Times
bestselling author Bella Andre shares the love story that
started it all…
For Mary Sullivan Christmas is, and always has been, about
family. And this year is no different. As she awaits the
arrival of her eight children and their partners at the
cottage in Lake Tahoe, she hangs the ornaments that they
made for her over the years. Each decoration brings with it
a tide of memories, all of which she holds dear to her
heart.
But when she comes across the oldest ornament, the one her
beloved husband, Jack, gave her on their very first
Christmas together, Mary is immediately swept back to the
first days of their whirlwind romance, to the love that
would be the foundation on which they built the family she
is so proud to call her own.
Join the Sullivans this Christmas for a story that
explores the wonder of the holidays, the meaning of family
and a love that transcends time.
