My 2024 Reading Challenge for the month of February will be Beat The Backlog work (digital and print books). This includes finishing serieses that I started months ago (and needed a Christmas break from) and never finished. Here's the ninth and final novel in the multi-author series (Christmas Falls): this is Brigham Vaughn's "Scrooge You!"
["Joel McArthur thought he knew everyone in the small town of Christmas Falls. He’s been running Ginger’s Breads bakery for more than a decade, after all.
But who is the mysterious runner who’s been passing by his shop every morning?
Hayden Bradley’s post-college plans fell through, landing him in this stupid small town he can’t get out of fast enough.
He hates Christmas and he’s tired of the endless holiday cheer.
But as Hayden finds himself spending more and more time at Joel’s bakery, he’s forced to admit that he’s developed a taste for the ginger-molasses cookies and the handsome ginger-haired baker who makes them."]
I kind of hate myself for waiting sooooo long to start this book and finish this series, because this book was faaaar less angsty than I had pictured (and far more sweeter--bakery pun (originally) not intended).
Joel loves his life, loves his job, loves his town--even if he's a little lonely. Hayden hates his life at the moment, hates his lack of job, hates this town--but letting yourself be vulnerable, starting over with a positive attitude, and falling in love can really change...your entire life. And these two fell, despite their differing views on Christmas, despite the age gape, despite the expiration date on their relationship, the fell so hard.
This was a perfectly sweet and fluffy and adorable ending to such a great series (and, we finally figure out how the mysterious graffiti artist is!!).
