One
tiny moment of youthful folly, has grown into a looming mountain of
complication.
Now
Candy Cane, owner of the revered local chocolate shop, must put matters to
right if she hopes for a future with her friend, Andrew. But seeing Jackson
Frost, the boy she grew up with, and the man to whom she’d long ago given her
heart, makes these good intentions difficult to say the least.
Jackson, a jet-setting, high-rolling, real
estate mogul hasn’t bothered to return to quant little Redford Falls for many a
year. Family issues, and being a workaholic, have kept him away. At least
that’s what he tells himself. When the discovery of a document forces Jackson
to admit a broken heart might be the true reason, a trip home is needed to
remedy his situation.
The
Christmas rush has Candy up to her ears baking cookies and sweets as she
worries over impending financial problems, and pulling off a happy Christmas
for the local children. I had to chuckle
when Jackson was blackmailed into playing the reluctant Santa hero.
Needless to say, Jackson’s quick trip turns into a few precious days of rediscovery,
and a bit of soul searching for all involved. The hectic pace of the holidays
gave a reason for the misunderstandings not being resolved more quickly, and provided
depth to the characters and story.
Again,
Darlene Fredette’s skilled voice moves the reader along at a good pace keeping
one’s interest through to the end of this warmhearted Christmas story. From the
pepperminty cover, to the satisfying ending,
I enjoyed this book. I’m glad to see one of the important characters will have
their own story in the next adventure in Redford Falls.
