Description
As an architect, she designs beautiful buildings… But will her heart ever find a place to call home?
Taylor’s architectural firm enters her in a contest to build life-sized gingerbread houses. After the contest, she’s likely to get a promotion to a position in another city. But it’s a team competition, and Taylor’s temperamental partner soon backs out. Taylor needs a replacement—fast.
When she meets Adam, a baker and single dad, she convinces him to be her partner in the contest. After all, winning would give his bakery much-needed exposure.
For years, Taylor has avoided thinking of anywhere as “home.” When she was a kid, her family was always on the move. But the time she spends with Adam and his daughter Brooke, decorating for Christmas and enjoying Philadelphia’s holiday traditions, has her questioning everything. Could she have found a place to call her own?
This book includes an original recipe for Best-Ever Gingerbread.
My Review:
This book has made me want to begin all my Christmas baking! It’s all about gingerbread and the sweet things that go along with Christmas. (There’s even a gingerbread recipe at the end of the book that looks delicious.) But what I loved most of all about this book was the theme of home, family, and discovering the most important things in life. I liked the characters of Adam and Taylor and enjoyed watching their relationship grow as they built the gingerbread house. Brooke, the little girl, was adorable and added a child’s view of Christmas to this story.
As always, Hallmark takes us right to “the heart of Christmas”. I enjoyed reading this book.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
