Three reasons you should read this Hallmark Romance:
- Christmas in Bayberry is full of small-town holiday cheer and friendships.
- Wesley’s memories of his time here really bring a nice sense of nostalgia to the story that I wasn’t expecting.
- This isn’t just one romance, we have a couple, along with a family reunion and re-understanding that really brought the whole story to life
About Christmas in Bayberry by Jennifer Faye
Title: Christmas in Bayberry
Author: Jennifer Faye
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Can a struggling candle company
kindle a Christmas romance?
Kate Taylor knows what she wants in life: to one day run her family’s candle business, which is at the heart of the close-knit community of Bayberry, Vermont. But the company isn’t doing well.
Wesley Adams is on the fast track to be an assistant vice president at his financial firm in Manhattan. Before the promotion is announced, he’s sent to this small town from his past to do a analysis of the candle company.
He doesn’t expect to bump into his childhood crush, Kate, and when he does, sparks fly. As he spends time in Bayberry, he falls for the town’s Christmas traditions—and for her. But he has a responsibility to submit an honest report. Will it extinguish Kate’s dreams…along with any chance they have for a future together?
My Review of Christmas in Bayberry:
Christmas in Bayberry by Jennifer Faye was just the book I need to kick off Christmas in July. It was fun, light-hearted, and full of small-town charm. Bayberry isn’t just the town, it’s also the candle-making company that brought everyone together, and you can feel the connections between the town residents on each page as they get ready for the holiday season.
But this holiday might be different. The company is not doing well, and when Wes Adams (from New York) shows up to do make a recommendation on whether the company will survive, it seems like the whole town is on pins and needles. They may not know the specifics, but they know something is up – and it isn’t good.
Kate has dreamed of the day she can take over running the Bayberry Candles and let her aunt retire. But if things don’t change, she may never have the chance to do that. When she finds out that Wes is in town to work on the company, she recruits him to help with some really great (and a few not so great) ideas to keep the company alive.
Through it all, a level of trust and respect grows between them. When it comes time to make a decision on the company, it might not be what everyone had in mind. And if Kate and Wes want to make things a reality, one of them may have to give up on their dreams.
This wouldn’t be a Hallmark Romance if it didn’t have a happily-ever-after ending though. And I think Jennifer Faye did a great job capturing the magic of the moment. The town and its residents were able to shine in the spotlight, but Wes and Kate never leave center stage, and their story was just what I needed.
