Members Reviews:
Great book to get you into the Christmas Spirit
I do a lot of review reads so that I hardly ever have time to read just for fun, books of my choice. I decided to take a few hours to read something of my own choosing and this was it. With the holidays nearing, I thought this would be the perfect read to get me into the holiday spirit. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
This is a great 3 book set written by 3 different authors that all have a great tie in together. Each story is unique in their own way. These are sweet romances with a good story lines, great character development and easy to become invested into the characters and the descriptions to details were done nicely by all of the authors.
These stories complimented each other nicely. This has really put me into the holiday spirit and I can not wait to read more holiday books. Each story had it's own trouble and tribulations, funny and serious bits and of course their own HEA. I loved the opening and closing of this book with the 3 best friends together, preparing us for the stories inside and then giving us the heartfelt wrap up of their stories as well.
Would I recommend this series? Yes
Would I read more from these authors? Yes
Sassy Beta Reading & Review
Three Fairly Good Novellas in this Anthology
This review is of âThe Sugar Cookie Sweetheart Swapâ an anthology of three interrelated stories: âWhere Thereâs Smokeâ by Donna Kauffman; âThe Gingerbread Manâ by Kate Angell; and âSugar and Spiceâ by Kimberly Kincaid. The stories will be reviewed in the order they are listed in the book.
Story #1: Where Thereâs Smokeâ by Donna Kauffman.
The Story: The book begins in the town of Pine Mountain, in the Blue Ridge mountains, just before Christmas. Here, Clara Parker, a food columnist for the Pine Mountain Gazette and her besties, Abby Denton and Lily Callahan, both bakers, are participating in a local tradition; a yearly Christmas Cookie Swap. Clara is going through a rough time; she broke up with her boyfriend and was fired from her previous job-as a romantic advice columnist-before saving her bacon and getting the job as a cookie-writing columnist. Now, Clara has to solve one teensy little problem: she has to learn how to bake.
Clara takes a trip to a bookstore in a neighboring town. There, she finds a book on baking-and an old friend, the former geek, now chic, Will Mason, the hero of the book and a hunky firefighter who is doing a signing for a calendar that he is the cover model of.
Will saves Clara from a fire-not much of one but a fire, nonetheless-and they reminisce, reconnect, fall in love and have their Happily Ever After.
Upside: Not much.
Downside: Neither Clara nor Will were particularly interesting or deep characters. Ms. Kauffmanâs writing style is very wordy, almost unnecessarily so.
Bottom Line: I was very disappointed in âWhere Thereâs Smokeâ. Iâve heard a lot of good things about Ms.
