I fell in love with the awkward Fielding and the confused Mick. It doesn't matter the label that one puts on it, love is love regardless of who you share it with. The story has been done before but Ms Easton has just perfected it with a skill and style all her own. I loved the way that Mr. Monroe just laid it out to Mick that he would do whatever it took to make Fielding happy and the way that snapped Mick out of his doubt. Although written for Christmas, this story would be just as touching any day of the year. ( ) Blame It On the Mistletoe is the story of college roommates, Mick Colman an ex-football player and womanizer, and Fielding Monroe, a nerd, genius, and physics grad student. It is told in first person through the eyes of Mick. 3.5 Stars Where to start. I’ve read some of the author’s other books and I was psyched that this would be another good one. But it in no way compares to Unwrapping Hank, which is far better. It’s clear many readers loved this story, so I’m in the minority. Per my rating system, I feel this was better than an average read, but I would prefer giving it only 3.5 Stars because I don’t feel it deserves four stars. The one thing, or rather character, that saves Mistletoe, is Fielding. His personality came through loud and clear. He was bright and alive, and it would be cool to know someone like him. On the other hand, Mick felt flat in tone. His thoughts and feelings recited words without the connection I wanted to feel, even though the author tried to imply how Mick felt through abrupt stoppages and exclamations of his speech. There was a lot of telling us how Mick felt, what he was thinking, so I couldn’t connect with Mick. I wanted to feel, but didn't. The story doesn’t have much angst, it’s slow paced, with most of it about Mick coming to terms with his bisexuality, or maybe he’s gay-for-you, or gay? I don’t know. It’s implied he’s bi, but it feels like he’s not, because Mick later suggests maybe that’s why he wanted to move away from the football friends and the women. One thing that made the story difficult to read was the formatting. It was terrible. Indentations for new paragraphs started almost in the center of the pages. If a comma ended the sentence, the comma started at the beginning of the next line. There were even half-words from end of sentence to begin a new sentence. I think someone needs to check over the formatting, because my copy was bad. Overall, it’s an OK story with Fielding the main attraction. His blossoming under the teachings of Mick surrounding the simple things in life, things he’d never experienced living with his mother, made the story. I found Mick uninteresting in speech and monologue, and wish we could have at least seen the story from Fielding’s pov also, because it would have livened up the story further. Blame It On the Mistletoe is a quick, low-angst read that I’d consider more of a winter story than a Christmas/ Holiday one. I wish I could give this 3.5 stars because four stars is too much, but the story is better than three, so 4 Stars it is.

When physics grad student Fielding Monroe and skirt-chaser and football player Mick Colman become college housemates, they're both in for a whole new education. Mick looks out for the absent-minded genius, and he helps Fielding clean up his appearance and discover all the silly pleasures his strict upbringing as a child prodigy denied him. They become best friends.It's all well and good until they run into a cheerleader who calls Mick the 'best kisser on campus.' Fielding has never been kissed, and he decides Mick and only Mick can teach him how it's done. After all, the physics department's Christmas party is coming up with its dreaded mistletoe. Fielding wants to impress his peers and look cool for once in his life. The thing about Fielding is, once he locks onto an idea, it's almost impossible to get him to change his mind. And he just doesn't understand why his straight best friend would have a problem providing a little demonstration.Mick knows kissing is a dangerous game. If he gives in, it would take a miracle for the thing not to turn into a disaster. Then again, if the kissing lessons get out of hand they can always blame it on the mistletoe.
