BLURB:

Melody Monroe will do anything to help her nine-year-old twin boys muster up the holiday spirit. Especially since they lost their father, the boys have started questioning the point of Christmas at all. 

So, when Melody learns the school’s Yuletide Cookie Club has disbanded due to dissension in the top ranks, she knows she must take over the cookie club herself, even if it means dealing with the infuriating school principal, Jonathan Braxton.

But when a small argument turns into a town-wide bake-off between her and Jonathan, Melody finds that her competitive spirits have turned romantic. Love can’t be in the cards. Her focus is on her boys, and saving Christmas. This year, will Melody be willing to let go of the past and embrace the magic of the holidays for herself?

MY THOUGHTS:

We are on the brink of summer and I am swooning over a Christmas themed romance book. What is life?! I could not resist requesting an ARC of The Christmas Cookie Wars on NetGalley. Thank you NetGalley for keeping me hooked! I absolutely adored this book. I was smiling into my iPad mini while reading this book unashamed. The Christmas Cookie Wars reminded me of a Hallmark movie with a bit of a baking show as well. The characters were very well written, the storyline was fun and charming. The SMUT reader in me was screaming for a bit more romance though! ( I had to shut her up) It’s a charming book with no spice and I loved it. It gives off the cozy, Christmas vibes from hot chocolate and ice skating to Christmas cookies! This would be the perfect companion for the holiday season! I loved it so much that I am making a mental note to pick this book back up during the holiday season. I really wish I could taste some of Mr. Braxton’s gingersnap cookies by the way. Overall, I give this book five wonderful stars. It was such a delightful quick read.

The book hits shelves October 22, 2024, so be sure to add this to your TBR list folks!

Happy Reading!
