Together, they made me feel warmth and I was smiling my little sweet (I wish) smile the whole time. Taylor and Adam are great characters and very realistic. It made me question myself, why I don’t read more of these heartwarming love stories.īecause sure, the story is cliche but it’s so heartwarming. The entire story made me think of hot chocolate and warm blanket, of reading in a cozy sofa while the smell of freshly-baked cookies or bread fill my nose. It is a little bit nostalgic, not because I’ve experienced the things that happened, but because of what it made me feel. This is not the grandest love story after all, but I’m ignoring the flaws and focus this review on good things. So reading a Christmas story is like a new experience and maybe that’s the main reason why I LOVE this book so much. It’s been a long time since I read a romance that characters aren’t too eager to tear each other’s clothes. I enjoyed this book, and I recommend for anyone looking for an excellent holiday story with all the feels. The spirit of the season is in the pages, and it comes across in wonderful ways. It's a truly heartwarming story with all of the hallmarks of a Hallmark! The characters are flawed and human, thus easier to relate to and like. Despite some baggage and issues, these two might have a chance for something more. Taylor begins to question who she is and what she wants. Adam has an adorable daughter, Brooke, and she only helps bring her dad and Taylor closer.

As they build the house, commonality begins to show, and unexpected feelings are found. Although they both have dreams and goals to pursue, plus ideas of what life and home and family mean, they are not similar. Taylor, an architect looking for a promotion to Paris, and Adam, a single dad and a baker, end up working together to build a life size gingerbread house. A Gingerbread Romance is a delightful read.

The older I get, the more I appreciate Hallmark movies. All opinions expressed are my own.Ī Gingerbread Romance: Based On An Original Hallmark Movie Thank you Inkslinger and Hallmark Publishing for an advanced copy.
