Baking Spirits Bright: A Lesbian Holiday Romance (The Snowy Springs Holiday Romances Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Bryce Oakley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 339 ratings

I have carefully constructed my life plan: Bake my jingle bells off. Win Top Holiday Baker. Open my very own bakery here in Snowy Springs. That’s what I should be focusing on.

Not Ariadne—“call me Ari”—Greco, the gorgeous celebrity chef judge of the competition. Even though Ari’s flirtations are irresistible, she’s basically off-limits, right? She’s a judge, which I think means it's actually illegal for me to even be her friend, and besides, she's only in town for a few days.

Everything about Ari puts my dream in danger. But... it’s Christmas and Snowy Springs is magical at Christmas. And for elf’s sake, tonight, I don’t care that Ari kissing me under the falling snow does not fit into my plan.

Surely a little Christmas fling could be fun and meaningless and not ruin everything I've worked so hard for, right?

Get ready for a brand new series of holiday romances! The Snowy Springs holiday romances are fluffy, fun, and quick reads, complete with bad Christmas puns and merrily-ever-afters.

    Love, love, this story! Perfect if you need to get in this Christmas spirit and perfect if you're already filled with Christmas cheer. The story is fun, and the romance is great. I highly recommend this "right now" -- it's quick and fun.

    I love baking at Christmas and watching baking shows so I love this story. Beth has a plan to open a bakery and winning a baking competition will get her the money she needs. Ari is the no nonsense judge that is super hot. These two are destined for each other. It's a sweet holiday romance that is perfect anytime of the year.

    Bryce Oakley writes cute, entertaining stories with very real characters . They're not perfect, in fact, most of them are downright flawed (as we all are). But this is what makes her stories easy to read and makes me look forward to the next one! Well done!

    A nice read, but everything seems to happen so quick that there’s no tension or time to really get to know Beth and especially Ari. A longer story with Ari’s side would have made a better read.

    I can always count on Ms. Oakley. Her characters are real and sharp, and the dialogue (interior as well) always makes me laugh, even out loud a couple of times. If you enjoy good writing, you’ll be pleased. Looking forward to the next one.
