Is it possible to love a Christmas book any more than this when it's based on Pride and Prejudice?! And when there are cookies involved? I think not 😄
Book Synopsis
There’s only one rule in business: Do NOT fall in love with the competition!
After years of loyalty, Kate Leverett is outraged when the owner of the Cookie Tin plans to sell it out from underneath her. She now has two months to prove she deserves the shop and is not letting anyone stand in her way. Least of all her meddling stepmother or the handsome man waiting to take her place.
Wade Matthews leaves behind his aunt’s cupcake empire to build his own cookie chain. His plan hits a snag when he unintentionally dissolves a longstanding agreement. To right the wrong, he’s managing the store while the local sweetheart competes to steal it away from him.
Kate can’t get Wade to agree on anything, from marketing strategies to cookie designs. Time is running out and there may be more than ownership on the line.

Book Thoughts
I am so grateful that I got to return to Garland, Tennessee for another delightful Christmas tale! As always, A.M. Heath is exceptional at transporting readers to a charming small town where the residents care for one another, and the main characters earnestly desire to become more sanctified in their Christian walks. I loved meeting Kate and Wade and seeing how the story of Pride and Prejudice played out in their romance, especially with all of the fun Easter eggs hidden throughout the book. The title of this book not only made me hungry for cookies, but it made me excited to see how in the midst of difficult circumstances, the characters demonstrated love toward each other.
The spiritual content is well balanced with the honest struggles that Wade and Kate face, with both taking their fears and hopes to God in prayer. The supporting characters—which in this case include Sarah Grace and Todd acting as Jane and Bingley—are lovely and a huge encouragement to Wade and Kate as they grapple to make sense of what's happening in their hearts and with the cookie shop. Family tensions are accurately depicted, and I appreciate that the author takes the time to address unhealthy relational dynamics. Even if we know what happens between Darcy and Elizabeth, this book avoids the predictable, making it a wonderful surprise to see how the story progresses. Readers wanting a satisfying Jane Austen experience mixed with sweet treats will find much to fall for in Love and Christmas Cookies.
