Welcome back to Christmas Town, Maine!
This year, you’re invited to the Christmas Town Bake-Off!
Holly House, one of Christmas Town’s oldest homes and landmarks, needs a significant face-lift and upgrades before becoming the town’s new museum and historical preservation site. It’ll take a lot of holiday magic and special ingredients to pull off Christmas Town’s first holiday baking fundraiser competition, but residents are up to the challenge, even if it means being the target of some holiday matchmaking by the Knotty Elves.
This year's event features seven new romances mixed in with the flour, sugar, and fun of bake-off competitions. From baking prelims to the crowning of a champion baker, this collection of connected, sweet romances from Harlequin Heartwarming authors will warm your heart.
On your mark, get set, bake...Christmas Town style!

My Thoughts:
What a fun collection of connected stories! If you're a fan of any bake-off show, these stories will get your kitchen cookin' in a heartbeat. I love a small town setting with the typical cast of characters from the heroes and heroines to the good-meaning meddlers. In this book, they're the Knotty Elves!
Each story unfolded a new layer to this cozy read. Even though each story is short, the authors created excellent descriptions that made you feel like you were a part of the action. I could smell the treats as they were made and felt like I was wrapped up in a warm hug through the emotions. That's something I often find lacking in short stories; but this did exactly the opposite.
If you read books based on tropes, you get the best all wrapped up in one book. You'll discover friends to lovers, second chances, competitors to lovers, and more. Christmas-themed stories also bring a lot to the table by sharing unique and cultural traditions, in addition to the small town quirkiness. Every town needs a gazebo on town squares!
Fa-la-la-la-la-bake! Excellent read for the holiday season!
