3.5 stars for sure, I liked this more than the 1st book SUPER ADORABLE, I love the tension, very fast-paced, and short books. I'm still finding it ironic I'm reading this during the summer, perfect Christmas read.

They’re rivals on a festive baking show, but maybe there’s a better prize to win than the prizemoney...
Ginger Winter really lives up to her name – she’s a master in the kitchen, especially when it comes to gingerbread. Because of her amazing skills, she’s one of several contestants involved in The Great Gingerbread Bake Off and she’s determined to win so she can finally open her own bakery. There’s just one hurdle to get past – Keller James, a celebrity baker who she just happens to fancy. Despite being rivals, Keller can’t help but spend time with Ginger, even just to run everyday errands. As the bake off progresses, so does their relationship. But Ginger knows Keller will be leaving Reindeer Falls once filming is over, and when it looks like he’s stolen her plans for himself, their relationship could be over before they even get the chance to start it...
The teaser for Ginger’s story during the previous book had me really excited for this rivals-to-lovers story! Again, it was a super sweet and cute festive romance, and felt like it was straight out of a Hallmark film. Ginger and Keller were both really interesting characters and it was fun to watch them develop their relationship.
As I said with the previous book, I really wish this story was longer and included Keller’s perspective as well. The world of Reindeer Falls is such a fun one to be in, and I really enjoyed Ginger giving Keller, and us, a tour around the town. Also, is there an actual The Great Gingerbread Bake Off? Because I really want to watch it!
Romance fans, let’s get those reading goals smashed with a short but festive read to round-out the year!

Cute but I wanted more fleshed out story... this one was more 1-dimensional than the first one, so I enjoyed the 1st one more.

This one was okay! i liked the baking aspect of it but it was severely insta lovey and I hate that in books. Honestly i’m losing motivation to read the rest of this series.. i may pick it up next year or something but I think i’m just falling it out of it.. some of the FMC inner dialogue is kinda cringy

OMG! I thought Jana had out done herself with The Boss Who Stole Christmas, but I WAS WRONG!! If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread, the second book in her Reindeer Falls novella series, took the cake as my favorite in the series - but I am reserving the right to change my mind again when the third book comes out. If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread was the perfect combination of holiday cheer, dirty romance, and a hilariously quirky heroine. I think I fell head over heels in love with this book at the mention of the plot. I mean, a romance novel about two contestations in a Gingerbread bake-off competition like the ones you see on Food Network. Could it have gotten any better? No! No, it couldn’t have.
You could feel the chemistry between Ginger and Keller right from the beginning. The sparks were practically flying off the page with this one! And, it may just be me, but I was even more enthralled at the mention of cookie porn! Yes, you read that correctly, COOKIE PORN!! I may have just orgasmed… But seriously, I super enjoyed this short and steamy holiday read and would absolutely recommend it. You can NEVER go wrong with a Jana Aston novel.

Hands down, the cutest book of the three! Keller and Ginger are just too yummy not to love! While they are competing in a Christmas baking competition against each other, the sparks are flying between them. Cute, funny and sexy, Keller and Ginger had me smiling from ear to ear!
