If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread, by Jana Aston
4.0
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!
