The Gingerbread Man
National bestselling author Kate Angell
Folks have always told fun-loving Abby Denton that her anatomically correct Gingerbread cookies are. . .impressive. But those erotic cookies have nothing on the sexy stranger Abby saves from a snowy country road. Could Lander Reynolds be the Christmas treat she's truly been longing for?
Sugar And Spice

MY REVIEW:
This book is
a great holiday book to cuddle under the covers with hot chocolate and get into
these three stories in one with three authors, new to me, all of them, but so
good at what they do. I had a fun time
reading their work.
I have to say
that the first and third stories were much more believable to me only because
of the shortness of time span for which all of them take place. Yet, if it could happen oh what a wonderful
way to go. These are three childhood
girlfriends who are not good in the relationship departments but great with the
friendships, community, and families. Two can bake not so much and the things
these three can get themselves into are just too funny.
As time had
passed and those they loved had started to pass on. The three were left with a bigger hole to
fill. The losses of grandparents for two,
of the girls, Carla Parker and Abby Denton their grandmothers raised them and
it left them feeling the wholes of being totally alone. Lily Callahan came from a meager background
and wanted to make something of herself so worked all the time. Which is lonely when your apartment is a two
by four. Although they supported each
other it did not give them comfort like a warm man would.
In the
spirit of Christmas Carla reconnects with an old school mate who lights her
fire, Abby rescues the gingerbread man, and Lily finds a chef under her nose. It all happens over a cookie and it comes
with recipes too.
