Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe
Rebecca RaisinGenre: Contemporary RomancePublisher: Carina UK (Harlequin)Date of Publication: November 12th 2013ASIN: B00GBZ3YD8Number of pages: 52Word Count: 17, 750Cover Artist: Carina UKBook Description:Christmas is the season the Gingerbread Café was made for…but owner Lily couldn’t be feeling less merry if she tried. She’s spent another year dreaming of being whisked away on a sleigh-ride for two, but she’s facing festive season alone – again. And, just to give her another reason to feel anything other than candy-cane perky, a new shop across the road has opened… Not only is it selling baked goods, but the owner, with his seriously charming smile, has every girl in town swooning.
But Lily isn’t about to let her business crumble — the Gingerbread Café is the heart of the community, and she’s going to fight for it! This could be the Christmas that maybe, just maybe, all her dreams – even the someone-to-decorate-the-Christmas-tree-with ones – really do come true!Add to Goodreads
About
the Author:
Rebecca Raisin is a true bibliophile.
This love of books morphed into the desire to write them.
She’s been widely published in various short story anthologies, and in fiction
magazines, and is now focusing on writing romance. The only downfall about
writing about gorgeous men who have brains as well as brawn, is falling in love
with them – just as well they’re fictional. Rebecca aims to
write characters you can see yourself being friends with. People with big
hearts who care about relationships, and most importantly, believe in true
love.

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book as a part of a book tour in exchange for a fair and honest review.My ReviewA short and sweet holiday morsel, Christmas at the Gingerbread Café by Rebecca Raisin is a fun treat. Well developed characters, a swiftly moving plot and just the right amount of heat kept me turning the pages to see how this romance would work out. Set in a fictional town in Connecticut right before the holidays, this is the perfect choice to read when you don’t have a lot of time.While the holidays are usually a busy time at The Gingerbread Café, business has been slow this year, giving owner Lil too much time to dwell on the past. Still moping about her divorce, Lil refuses to take her assistant CeeCee’s advice about moving on. At least until she meets Damon, the owner of a new store in town, and suddenly her store’s only competition.Planning to start over and open a new store, Damon never planned on starting a showdown between his specialty store and the Café across the street. While he’s determined to win, he can’t ignore his growing attraction to the competition. Especially when she offers an olive branch that could end up saving both of their businesses.The scenes between Lil and Damon are fun, full of emotional angst and just the right amount of romantic heat. Both hurt by relationships in the past, they’ll both have to take a chance on falling in love. While this is a short story, and the pace moves fairly fast, Ms. Raisin does a good job developing their characters and their romance. The secondary characters, made of the townspeople, are well developed and I especially liked CeeCee, Lil’s assistant and want to be adopted mama.Will Lil take a chance on a new romance and let go of the past? Will Damon share the secrets from his past? You’ll have to read Christmas at the Gingerbread Café to find out. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of Ms. Raisin’s work.My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Crowns
