"The Gingerbread Bakery" is Christmas comeback on September that you won't want to put down! Laurie Gilmore has once again given us the perfect blend of cosiness, humour and romance.
The atmosphere of the small town of Dream Harbor envelops you from the very first pages: snow-covered streets, the aroma of freshly baked gingerbread, and a sense of community that only exists in a close-knit and friendly community.
And although Jeanie and Logan's wedding preparations provide a warm backdrop, the real focus is on Annie and Mac. I especially liked that the author presents their story in two time dimensions - chapters from the past and the present. This adds depth, helps to better understand the tension between them, and at the same time shows how, step by step, they learn to let go of their resentments.
Their bickering, sincere emotions, and gradual discovery of feelings make this storyline exciting and very lively. Gilmore's take on the ‘enemies to lovers’ trope is a real treat!

Forever greautful Laurie Gilmore and Harper Collins for ARC!

She has done it again! Laurie Gilmore just keeps giving and I keep taking. I have been curious about Annie and Mac’s situationship since the very beginning, and I am extremely excited that this novel delves into the back story of this “love-me, hate-me” relationship.

Without giving anything away, I truly appreciate that we learned what happened, how our character got where they are, and how they will progress through life. This ended exactly how I wanted, and I appreciate that so much.

I cannot wait to see updates on everyone in the next book!
