by Carol Babineaux (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 89 ratings

Two passionate bakers, one sweet rivalry, and a sprinkle of winter wonderland charm.

Meet Michaela Branson, a determined baker chasing her dream of owning a bakery. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she returns to her hometown for the Lights by the Lake festival and bake off, where a fifty-thousand-dollar prize could make her dreams come true.

Focused on the competition, Michaela has no interest in romance. But fate has other plans when she meets Michael Brandon, a fellow contestant with an infuriatingly handsome and arrogant demeanor. Sparks fly, but not the baking kind.

As they clash in the kitchen, a sizzling tension brews, and beneath it all, a connection forms. In the midst of a high-stakes competition and the holiday magic of Pinewood Corners, can these two stubborn bakers find a recipe for romance?

Discover The Christmas Cookie Conundrum, a heartwarming holiday romance filled with passion, love, and the sweetest surprises. Get ready to be charmed and tantalized in this delectable tale that leaves you craving more than just desserts.

    The Christmas Cookie Conundrum is an enchanting and heartwarming start to the Pinewood Corners Sweet Romance Series. As someone who appreciates sweet and heartfelt stories, I was completely captivated by Mikki and Michael's journey.

    The story unfolds in a charming small town setting and is filled with relatable characters, each with their own unique quirks and endearing qualities. Mikki's passion for baking is truly infectious, and her determination is both admirable and inspiring. Michael, with his unwavering support and undeniable charm, makes for the perfect swoon-worthy hero. The connection between these two characters is beautifully written and feels genuine.

    This book beautifully captures the essence of love, second chances, and the magic of serendipity. With each page, I found myself more and more invested in the blossoming romance, the delightful bakery dreams, and the cozy atmosphere of Pinewood Corners.

    Author Carol Babineaux has a talent for creating a world that feels like home, where you'll find yourself longing to revisit the characters and their heartwarming stories. I can't wait to see what's next in this enchanting series. The Cookie Conundrum is a delightful read for anyone who loves romance and small-town charm with a touch of magic.

    Interesting characters who keep you entertained throughout. Both characters have close, caring families. Cute throwbacks and sentiment add flavor to the small town vibe. The main characters don't really like each other at first. When they end up having to work together, they slowly warm up to each other and start seeing each other in a different light. The ending was sweet.

    Engaging characters will keep the reader well entertained. Close families caring deeply another plus. Goodness too, syrupy for this jaded reader. Lots of fun throwbacks and nostalgia added credibility to the small town flavor, too.
    Thinly veiled references to culinary celebs were quite nice!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A cozy Christmas love story filled with heartwarming moments
    Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

    From beginning to end, Michael and Michaela's romantic Christmas tale captivates, holding your interest until the very last page. It's nearly impossible to set the book aside before experiencing the entire intriguing story. The sentiment, "That’s where the real kitchen magic lies, in our hearts and memories," imparts a touching depth to the narrative. A particularly charming element is Grandma's story about passing down a beloved cookie recipe from mother to daughter. The tradition of each woman adding a new ingredient to enhance the recipe not only preserves family core traditions but also beautifully evolves with each new generation. Infused with the delightful aroma of cookies and an abundance of love, this feel-good story offers a heartwarming and satisfying read.

    I read this book in one sitting! Enemies-to-lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes and Mikki & Michael's journey was super sweet. I especially loved Grandma Jo, who is supportive and wise and loves Mikki exactly where she is in life. This was a great little book, perfect to escape from it all for a while. Just be prepared for all the cookie content, which will definitely make you crave Christmas cookies!

    After a fall of reading spooky & crime filled books this was such a lovely change. It really got me into the holiday spirit! Can't wait to start on my Christmas cookies. The characters were so relatable, I felt like I knew Michaela and Grandma Jo. I loved how the author painted a picture of this cute little town and beautiful little story, that I could just curl up with a cup of hot tea and cookie at night and just feel like I was there. Can't wait for more books from this new Author!
