I liked it, took me a while to get into it and remember the story from the last book. I have the whole series but I am going to read a few books between them.
I love the mixture of stories and recipes.

5 parce que c'est EXACTEMENT ce qu'on attend d'une bonne romance de Noël, ce qu'il faut de clichés (c'est pour ça qu'on les aimes ces romances de Noël) mais avec un VRAI fond, j'ai adoré

I really enjoyed this book. Had great characters and an interesting story that flashed back and forth over several decades. Romance and mystery that your young daughter could read. I will look for other books by this author.

"On the longest night of the year, Jenny Majesky loses everything in a devastating house fire. But among the ashes she finds an unusual treasure hidden amid her grandfather's belongings, one that starts her on a search for the truth, and on a path toward a life that she never imagined. The Winter Lodge, a remote cabin owned by her half sister on the shores of Willow Lake, becomes a safe refuge for Jenny, where she and local police chief Rourke McKnight try to sort out the mysteries revealed by the fire. But when a blizzard traps them together, Jenny, accustomed to the safe predictability of running the family bakery, suddenly doesn't feel so secure. For even as Rourke shelters her from the storm outside, she knows her heart is at risk. Now, following her dreams might mean walking away from her one chance at love" (From Amazon)
I liked this contemporary romance where two people are stranded together and finally let their walls down.

I liked this book. Jenny, who we met in the first book, as a teenager, is now an adult and has taken over the bakery her Polish immigrant grandparents founded 50 years before. She lives alone in her grandparent's house after their deaths. She still mourns for her mother, who disappeared when Jenny was 4 y.o. When her house burns to the ground, destroying everything she owns, including all her years of journals, she ends up having to reevaluate her life and finds herself temporarily staying with Rourke, not the chief of police. They have never resolved issues dating back to the summer when they were 17, and their other best friend was Joey. Jenny shows a great deal of growth in this book, and learns not to stuff all her feelings but instead to talk about them. Rourke is a caregiver and always will be but he too shows some growth and faces his hurts of the past.
