A LoveNVegas Unhinged Holiday Confession by your Queen of Smut of Mistletoes, Mayhem & Mr. Grinch 👑
Listen up, sinners — I was supposed to be packing for LoveNVegas, brushing up on my “don’t feral scream in front of authors” training (it’s not going well), and mentally preparing to black out in a sea of book boyfriends.
But then Bella Matthews had to drop mistletoes, mayhem & Mr. Grinch with "Mistletoe Meet Cute" into my lap like a perfectly wrapped gift I wasn’t emotionally ready to open.
And sweet baby Santa — this book wrecked me in the best, most cinnamon-scented way. 🎅🔥
🎁 THE DAMAGE REPORT
I devoured this book in under seven hours.
Yes, SEVEN. With adulting breaks, because apparently, bills don’t pay themselves, and my family still needs to eat. 🙄
Between every chore, errand, and “Mom, where’s my—?” moment, I was sneaking pages like a teenager hiding a forbidden romance under the covers.
By the halfway point, I was feral. By the end? I was ready to move to Philly, apply for a nanny job, and “accidentally” fall under Camden Monroe’s mistletoe myself.
🏈 MEET CAMDEN MONROE — THE HOT GRINCH HIMSELF
Grumpy. Gorgeous. Gray. Sweatpants.
Camden Monroe is every holiday fantasy you didn’t know you needed.
He’s the quarterback with the body of a sinner’s daydream and the emotional range of a Hallmark villain who secretly bakes cookies when no one’s watching.
Bella Matthews gave us a man who could ruin Christmas, fix the star on your tree, and break your bed — all before dinner.
You think I’m exaggerating? I’m not.
That man melted my holiday spirit and made me believe in miracles again.
🎄 HOLLY & HER CHAOTIC SIBLINGS
And Holly? My sunshine queen.
The sass, the chaos, the emotional whiplash — she had me giggling, swooning, and lowkey wishing I could be adopted into her family.
The sibling banter alone deserves its own holiday special.
They’re loud. They’re nosy. They love hard and meddle harder.
It’s giving family goals, but make it festive chaos with emotional trauma and extra tinsel.
❄️ THE VIBE
🎅 Grumpy x Sunshine
🎁 Single Dad x Nanny
🏈 Football + Feelings
💋 Banter so good it should be illegal
🔥 A bonus scene that will melt the snow off your roof
This book isn’t just a romance — it’s a full-blown Hallmark movie with smut, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible.
It’s warm, it’s spicy, it’s emotional, and it’s everything I didn’t know I needed before heading to Vegas to scream about fictional men in public.
💋 FINAL THOUGHTS FROM YOUR QUEEN
If Bella Matthews were at LoveNVegas, I’d be the unhinged fangirl dragging a mistletoe around the convention center, yelling, “WHERE’S CAMDEN MONROE?!” while security quietly calls for backup.
But since she’s not — consider this my holiday love letter.
Mistletoe Meet Cute ✨✨✨✨✨ glittering stars, ten mistletoe 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋, and a permanent spot on my “books that ruined my productivity” shelf.
By Friday, I’ll be posting my official Queen of Smut review — complete with feral quotes, cinnamon-scented chaos, and possibly a life-sized cardboard Camden in my living room. 🎄
Until then, sinners… keep your cocoa hot and your book boyfriends hotter.
