Rating: 3 out of 5.

This is book 2 in The Cornish Romances Book Club, but can be read as a stand alone.

Tamara loses her job and the building she dreamed of opening a bakery in is bought by Gage who opens a bookstore. Their first meeting is not good, but it’s clear they are attracted to each other. The small town setting is always a trope I love reading, and this did not disappoint. Add in a book club with meddling ladies intent on being matchmakers, and you’ve got the perfect cozy Christmas book.

I loved the small-town aspects of people knowing each other’s business and not hesitating to interfere as they see best. Gage has physical and mental scars from his time as a Marine and needs a quiet, comfortable life to heal. Tamara has her own issues to deal with, and they help each other through the rough times. The banter is cute and the romance is sweet.

This is a quick and easy book to read with a warm blanket and a cup of tea to get you into the Christmas spirit.

I received a complimentary ecopy of this book from Zooloo’s Book Tours. All opinions are my own.
