About the Book
Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.
The inn is busy with holiday guests--including
Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a
businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on
making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in
her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that
Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she
thinks that she just might be his perfect match.
Cuddle up for some warm
holiday cheer as New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson explores
the unforeseen consequences of meddling with mistletoe when love is on
the line.
My Review
I loved the stories set at the Red Door Inn, so it was such a pleasure to return there for Whitney's story! She is at a crossroads in her life, feeling forced to choose a career that she can stick with, or let her parents down again, and no more safety net. I could sense how on edge she felt, working toward an end goal with things falling apart around her. Despite her circumstances, she is the sunshine providing contrast to Daniel's grumpiness. His character put off vibes of flatness and unhappiness, going through the motions, but still caring about his aunt enough to travel and help her sell her business. There are plenty of funny mishaps, but the best part of this book is the way Daniel blossomed around Whitney's light. They both gently challenged each other, and as Daniel learns to open his heart again, Whitney gains the courage to find and follow the dream authentic to her. A sweet holiday read with great romantic chemistry!
