This doesn’t ring true given she was adopted by a lovely couple who did indeed pick her.
Mia has a thing about being picked - she feels as though she’s always the picker rather than the pickee. Mia and Nick were both given up as babies and each has adapted to that context differently. Shalvis dashed it off as a gift to those who can’t get enough of the Lucky Harbor crowd. Under the Mistletoe feels like an inside story - one has the sense Ms. It’s too short to do justice to its protagonists and it’s jammed packed with too many references to the other lovers in the series.
I’ve enjoyed the Lucky Harbor books, some more than others. He arrives in Lucky Harbor a day after Mia, determined to make her give him another chance. Nick, the next day, realizes he’s made a hash of things and hops a plane as well. The two have their first real fight and, first thing the next morning, Mia flies home to Lucky Harbor, broken-hearted and needing the love of her family. (This may be a letdown for all those who hoped she and her first love Carlos would end up together.)Ī few days before Christmas, Mia surprises Nick by buying him a ticket to her aunt Chloe’s wedding in Lucky Harbor (in the state of Washington) and he surprises her by saying he won’t go. Mia, the birth daughter of Ford and Tara (the leads in The Sweetest Thing), is now twenty-two, living in New York and in love with a guy named Nick. Shalvis’s very brief novella Under the Mistletoe gives fans of her Lucky Harbor series Mia’s story.
