From the moment Julie sees her best friend, Gavin, in the airport, it’s like no time at all has gone by instead of months and months. No matter how long they’ve been apart, their relationship has always been steady, comfortable, and decidedly just friends. Even though their meddling parents have hung what seems like unlimited amounts of mistletoe everywhere she goes this holiday season, Julie knows some things will never change.
Gavin is well-aware his family’s wanted him and Julie to get together since forever, even though he’s been friend-zoned since they could talk—and he’s been happy to play that role. After all, as the new starting quarterback for the San Antonio Mustangs, he’s got enough on his plate without adding romance to the mix.
But between playing elves in the holiday bazaar to nights spent one-on-one watching rom-coms or soaking in their town’s hot springs, suddenly the “reverse parent trap” they’ve fallen into is actually starting to work. But this could be one scheme where letting themselves get trapped might be way too dangerous.

Can best friends fall in love? You will find out when you read The Mistletoe Trap. A lighthearted story that is the perfect way to start getting into the holiday spirit.
Gavin and Julie are best friends who grew up together and their families are very close. Their moms have always wanted them to marry, but Gavin and Julie have preferred to stay friends. That is, until they both return home for the holidays.
Even though Gavin is now a handsome, charming, big time professional quarterback, he is still Julie’s best friend. Julie is smart, beautiful and awkward. She is a pathologist and loves to share her gory stories with her dates or anyone who will listen. When she comes home, her confidence is at an all time low and she asks Gavin for help.
This is a funny and charming story as Gavin and Julie’s families try their best to get Gavin and Julie together. Gavin and Julie are perfect together, it just takes them a while to figure out what everyone else around them has always known. I enjoyed this charming story and Gavin and Julie.
