A review by jes77librarian
Christmas in Bayberry by Jennifer Faye

2.0

I am a sucker for small-town Christmas romances. While I liked the premise of this story and the characters were fine, I was hoping for a little more oomph in the book. All characters were assumed to be white, which continues to be a problem in the Hallmark movie and book world. I needed the hero and heroine to have more internal conflict, without that the romance fell flat.

I think this book is going to have a market, but I would love to see Hallmark capitalize on their success by pushing past the assumed white, small-town romance and create characters with more depth and complications.
