Review: 


 
The Gingerbread House in Mistletoe Gardens is a lovely read.
It is well written, with a good cast of characters, and a nice Christmas message.

Essie is a baker, she wants to show her mother her worth, so she decides to try and save Folkhornton's Mistletoe Garden building a big Gingerbread House. There's only a little problem she doesn't know anythig about construction, she needs a constructor, and she finds Joss, who despite being skeptical, helps her with her crazy idea.

Essie and Joss are so different, friendly and outgoing the first, grumpy and quiet the latter, but they are good for each other. I adored to see how Joss boost Essie confidence, believing in her and her dreams. I was also pleased to see how Essie made Joss understand how it's so far better to have connection with other people, even if we are scared to suffer when we lose them.

I recommend this novel for a pleasant read in front of the fireplace.
