Book Review: Two Hearts for Christmas: At Christmas, life gets a little bit sweeter... Annalisa Russo

  


  

Two Hearts for Christmas: At Christmas, life gets a little bit sweeter... (A Green Earth Christmas Book 4) by Annalisa Russo
This book starts out with Maisie and she runs the bakers, lives above with her two kids, divorced and he's in jail.  She's preparing for the contest to win $5k and comes up with several recipes she can make for the holidays and has to do really well to beat the other bakeries around town and nearby.
Story also follows Wade who's the local sheriff and has left the military. His mother lives in a nursing home now and he spends time with her, and the aunt that travels to be with them this holiday season.
Maisie and her kids had a lot to do with a fantastic meal for them all.
He's grown to like her and the kids. He has a lot of plans to smooth things over.
Some times the contest doesn't go according to plan and she only gets a few points til they realize somebody put salt in sugar.  Horace is greatly appreciative  of the repairs he makes at her shop. He sees things that he brings to the sheriff's attention.
They know who's at fault... Kids are involved in the Christmas pageant and they love being a part of it. The whole town and then some turn up for it.
What I really like are the recipes, being a baker myself and the ability to change things up. Love small town atmosphere and how everybody pitches in to help others. Wade really steps up the plate at the end and honor him for brining the father back to the kids, even for an hour.
Beautiful Christmas story.
Another story is excerpted at the end.
Received this review copy from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
