Baking Spirits Bright! by Kaci Lane: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

A handsome, single stranger is attending the Apple Cart County Christmas Bakeoff—on purpose. This must be a Christmas miracle.

I came up with the perfect plan to launch my career as a marketing professional and put my family’s apple orchard on the map. Then my quirky old landlord stole my idea to declare an official Apple Cart apple dessert and suggested a county-wide bakeoff.

That leaves me to defend my family’s desserts among others in town. For better or worse, it brings more exposure to Apple Cart.

It also brings a handsome man my age to town.

But there has to be a catch since he’s not visiting family or just passing through. Not until I’ve bore my sole to him for days do I discover he’s a famous Southern food blogger. Was our connection genuine, or was he playing me for intel on Apple Cart?

That leaves me trying to not love and hate him at the same time.

The Author 

Kaci Lane is an Alabama girl whose mission in life is to write stories that relate to real-life issues with a bit of comic relief.

She is married to a true Southern gentleman and has two young children, all of which help keep her humility in check.

With a background and degree in journalism, Kaci has written almost everything about anything. Well, except for topics that would make any good Southern Baptist’s face turn the color of a Crimson Tide football jersey.

Book Review

Baking Spirits Bright is part of the Christmas Kisses and Cookie Crumbs series. This is a multi-author series of standalone short and sweet Christmas romances! 

What another fun addition to the Christmas Kisses and Cookie Crumbs series this was! Kaci Lane never fails to bring the smalltown humor and charm and this one was absolutely no exception. From the moment they first meet, Erica and Ryan seem to have an instant connection. As they spend more time together with her showing him around the town, that connection only grows--- but when she learns that he was keeping a secret about who he really was, she doubts it all. This definitely felt very much like a Hallmark type of story--- in all the best ways possible. At less than 100 pages, this is definitely a quick read and a quick romance, but it didn't feel lacking in any way. I found myself enjoying this short trip back to Apple Cart County and seeing these two connect over the holidays. The perfect bite size read for the busy holiday season... with a great recipe at the end too!

Baking Spirits Bright is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
