Book One - Christmas At The Gingerbread Cafe
The icing on her Christmas cake!
Christmas is the season the Gingerbread Café in Ashford, Connecticut was made for…but owner Lily couldn’t be feeling less merry if she tried. She’s spent another year dreaming of being whisked away on a sleigh-ride for two, but she’s facing festive season alone – again. And, just to give her another reason to feel anything other than candy-cane perky, a new shop across the road has opened… Not only is it selling baked goods, but the owner, with his seriously charming smile, has every girl in town swooning.
But Lily isn’t about to let her business crumble — the Gingerbread Café is the heart of the community, and she’s going to fight for it! This could be the Christmas that maybe, just maybe, all her dreams – even the someone-to-decorate-the-Christmas-tree-with ones – really do come true!
Book Two - Chocolate Dreams At The Gingerbread Cafe
Chocolate…the most irresistible temptation?The Gingerbread Café is all a buzz! This Easter, Lily and the rest of the town of Ashford, Connecticut are planning a truly decadent Chocolate Festival. Cooking up a storm, CeeCee and Lily are not just baking a batch of their sinfully delicious chocolate-dipped gingerbread men, but an excess of chocolate truffles, squidgy, cinnamony hot cross buns and melt in your mouth chocolate eggs. The Gingerbread Café staff have definitely enjoyed the tasting process!
Add in Damon’s cute-as-a-button seven year old daughter, Charlie, up for a visit and Lily’s perfect Easter may just be around the corner. Until her ex-husband Joel turns up demanding twenty thousand dollars… Suddenly the future of the Gingerbread Café is not so clear…and Lily finds herself eating far more of The Gingerbread Café’s treats than her skinny jeans allow…
Can Lily concoct a brilliant plan to save her beloved café, convince Damon she has no feelings for Joel and still throw a Chocolate Festival the town will be talking about for years? There’s only one way to find out...
Welcome back to the warmth, cupcakes and hot chocolate of The Gingerbread Café – your home away from home

My opinion:
The
Gingerbread Café series is definitely one of my favourite book series. The
series has it all: love, friendship, sweetness, passion, emotions and so much
more.
The story
is set in lovely Ashford, Connecticut. The town sounds amazing! Rebecca
describes it so vividly and full of detail, wish I could live there with the
characters. The characters are perfectly lined out and Lily the main character
is very relatable. I loved following her story.
In Christmas at the Gingerbread Café she
gets to know Damon and he’s wonderful. BOOK BOYFRIEND ALARM!!! Hot, sweet,
caring, romantic, sexy…
I adored
how their relationship developed and the surroundings and their family and
friends were always included in such a beautiful way.
Book #2 in
this series is called Chocolate Dreams at the Gingerbread Café. It plays around
Easter, so a few months later. And this book shows once more that Lily and
Damon are such an adorable couple. Their relationship is deep, honest and real.
There is some drama included, which is great and lots of memorable and adorable
scenes.
And here we
go, book #3 Christmas Wedding ate the
Gingerbread Café, probably my fave out of the three, if I had to pick, but
they are all just incredible! I fell in love with the characters even more.
It’s so wonderful to see what strong bond they have and that they would do
anything for each other, real friendship. The wedding preparations and the
wedding itself were amazing to read about, it came from the heart and was full
of emotions and touching moments.
The atmosphere
in these books is magical and unique. The storyline and the writing are gripping,
fascinating, sweet, fresh, fun and so much more. This series has a lot of
sparks and it definitely manages to put a huge smile on your face, a MUST-READ
by a wonderful and talented author!
I had the honor of meeting this wonderful lady and she's even more amazing in person!
