Description:
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 catch: 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.

My Thoughts:
I loved The Red Door Inn and all of the Prince Edward Island books and I was so happy to return to this delightful setting and characters for a Christmas story!
I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed this Christmas novella. But as I’m relearning the beauty of the Season, I’m finding myself drawn to these stories. Stories with lights, snow, tinsel, giggling children, hope, and maybe a grump or two who slowly sees the wonder again, too. And I love it! This book has all of those things, including a quirky baker and a meddling aunt.
I always love the characters Ms. Johnson brings to life in her stories, and these characters are certainly no exception. I could easily relate to Whitney, who is searching for her dream and working so hard to prove herself reliable. And who doesn’t want to love the Christmas grump (Daniel) and see him prodded into joining the fun? And Julia Mae was SO adorable! Visiting Marie and Seth, along with Aretha and Jack, made me want to read the whole series again!
If you are looking for a sweet and fun Christmas novella full of the joy of the season, I highly recommend this book!
