Mingle All the Way by Susan MalleryMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
If I had been more careful when accepting this ARC, I would have realized it was a reissue. I am not fond of reissues. So yes, this is a reissue of The Christmas Wedding Guest with the novella Say You'll Stay thrown in.
The story was sweet but plodding. The characters were bland, and the conclusion was inevitable. So much of this novel was repetitive, essentially filler. This book would have been great if at least 100 pages were cut and the pace of the story sped up.

Summary: "Published for the first time together, MINGLE ALL THE WAY includes the reader-favorite story The Christmas Wedding Guest and a bonus novella from Susan Mallery's sparkling Wishing Tree series!
This Christmas, the Somerville sisters invite you to the wedding of the season…
The Somerville sisters believe in love, but they’ve lost faith it will happen for them. Reggie hasn’t been home since the end of the world’s shortest engagement. When her parents decide to renew their vows, she buffs up her twinkle to help with their Christmas wedding. Unexpectedly, Toby, her first love, is back too, and the spark between them shines as brightly as ever. In the spirit of the season, will they let go of past hurts and ring in the New Year together?
Done waiting for the one, Dena is pregnant and on her own—on purpose. But then a gorgeous, sad-eyed songwriter checks in to a room at her inn. Micah, unable to write since he lost his wife, finds inspiration in Dena’s determination to be a mom. One snowflake-speckled kiss and he’s a goner. But Dena is afraid to believe that a rock star could fall for a cookie-cutter small-town girl like her.
As the Christmas wedding draws closer, these two sisters just might unwrap the most treasured gift of all—love."
