JENA’S REVIEW

A Gingerbread Romance by Lacey Baker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read and savored this heart-warming holiday story on a hot summer’s day in August. Yet, as I unpacked this gift of a book, I was swept away to mid-December, thanks to the vivid descriptions. I could see the sparkling lights on the tree, smell the spicy gingerbread baking, taste the peppermint bark, hear the Christmas carols, explore the Christmas Market, sense the feelings of love and family…all the wonderful moments of the Christmas season came alive for me.

Taylor is a successful up-and-coming young architect, always traveling to an exciting new project. New places are all she’s ever known. Her parents did the same thing, traveling the world with their own high-powered careers. Yes, Taylor knew her parents were loving and supportive, yet she always longed for a settled home life, and especially a home for Christmas.

When Taylor returns to her modern townhome in Philadelphia a few weeks before Christmas, she plans to work hard and achieve the next goal on her upward career path. However, when she receives a surprise assignment, her world of budgets, and timelines collides with the sweet smell of gingerbread, and a handsome young baker with an adorable daughter. Adam leads with his heart, he gives his all to his baking and his family. He believes you can’t plan everything and there’s always time for fun. He is the exact opposite of Taylor or is he?

This book is based on the Hallmark Channel Original Movie. I’m glad Hallmark featured diversity. This story succeeds as a movie or a book and will have you sensing all the joy of the holiday season. A recipe for Gingerbread cake with lemon butter sauce is included-yum!

Thanks to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for a digital review copy. This is my honest review.
