Christmas At The Gingerbread Café (The Gingerbread Cafe, #1)

by Rebecca Raisin

When author Rebecca Raisin offered me her Christmas Novella Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe to review, I jumped at the chance. I love novellas, sometimes they’re the perfect stop gap when you don’t wish to start a full length book so it was the perfect read one evening before bed.

Newly single Lily, works at and owns the Gingerbread Cafe in a small town in Connecticut, with friend CeCe, and she’s quite vexed when a new store opens right across the road, offering cooking classes and turkeys, pretty much doing and selling things Lily herself would like to do. So Lily decides she’s not going to take it lying down and she lets the owner Damon know exactly what she thinks of him, but there’s more to Damon than meets the eye and there’s not only love in the air, but potential partnership…

Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe was a short and sweet novella, taking me about half an hour or so to complete and I was quite surprised by the American setting and dialect, not knowing Rebecca was American. It was a bit cheesy at times, but for a short, quick, simple read, it was ok and I hear Rebecca is writing a new Gingerbread novella, so I will most definitely be reading it.
