review 1: It took me a little bit to get into the book because I could not keep up with which baker was which during the prologue. However, once we settled into the book proper, I really liked the first and the last stories. The middle, however, was never ending. And, as you might expect, not in a good way. I liked Abby from the prologue and I thought she sounded interesting, but you'd never know it from her short story. The most life to be found in it was when the cat was 'on screen'. The sentences were weirdly stilted and the story just moved at a snail's pace for me. It didn't help that I never actually warmed to Lander as he seemed to be there to fix Abby... enh.In comparison, Lily's story zipped by and hers was spread out over a much longer period of time. Also, technic... moreally it was labeled as her story, but it was really more of Peter's story with a little Lily on the side. Clara and Will probably had the best chemistry of the bunch, though it's probably good the story didn't last much longer than it did. Fictional kitchens were certainly harmed in the making of this story. :p
review 2: Picked up this book in December at the local library because I wanted to read a book set around Christmastime to help keep my happy holiday spirit going. It satisfied my need for a sugary sweet and sexy read. My favorite of the three novellas was Sugar and Spice by Kimberly Kincaid. I loved Lily and Pete and wished their story was longer. I'll definitely be looking forward to returning to Pine Mountain in March when Turn Up the Heat by Ms. Kincaid comes out. The other two novellas were good, but at some points they got a little sappy. Still, it was a good Christmas choice and I'm glad I picked it up. less
