ON THE 16TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS by Kristi Pelton is LIVE!!
ABOUT THE BOOK.
Growing up in the picturesque small town of Mystic, Connecticut, Scarlett assumed that small town love would be thrown into her lap. Hallmark movies preached it. Perfected it. Promised it. A storybook love life should be hers for the taking. A lumberjack. A Christmas tree farmer. A rich executive visiting from the city. She’d won second place in a baking championship on national TV. She is a baker, for God’s sake. Something the romantic Gods love. Yet the closest she has been to love is a failed relationship and a dysfunctional family. Taking a leap of faith, she packed up her life and moved to the other side of the country, hoping to reignite the possibility of small-town love in Astoria, Oregon. Yet two years later, her love life is still a big, fat nothing. Nada. Zero.
Setting off on an obligatory trip back to Connecticut for Christmas, she meets a handsome stranger in a dog park of all places. Since they are both traveling east, they decide to travel separately but together. With his boyish charm and Irish accent, it’s the story Christmas books and movies are written about: A Baker and the Irishman. But after five days of lengthy phone conversations and five nights of building attraction, all it takes is one word to remind Scarlett that fairytales only happen in books and that movies never get it right.
Scarlett has literally provided the romantic gods with every essential item for a good love story, yet there she sits, driving back to her small town…alone. The happily ever after always promised, nowhere to be found. Scarlett thought she had finally found the secret ingredient for her romance recipe but as every baker knows, even the most perfect recipes sometimes don’t work out…or do they?

MY REVIEW.
4 Stars from Renee!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, small town romance, and a Christmas trip home.
This is Scarlett’s story. Scarlett assumed that love would be thrown her way after all she grew up on Hallmark movies preaching that exact thing. But years later she is still looking for that love. When she meets a handsome stranger in a dog park of all places, she thinks maybe her luck is changing. After talking for days and falling for him all it takes is a single word and everything falls apart. Scarlett is fearing she is doomed by love. After all she is a baker and literally had all the ingredients for a love story, but it all fell apart. Will she ever get that love?
I recommend this book.

MEET KRISTI PELTON.
Just the fact that someone may be reading my ‘bio’ thrills me. What does one say in an author bio? Well, I LOVE to write! Sometimes characters talk to me in my head (in a non-psychotic way) and I have to get what they are saying out on paper! So, here we are! π
I am a part-time juvenile probation officer and full-time wife…but I spend the majority of the time helping my two favorite, college-aged sons navigate through life and hopefully become the best humans they can be.
I am a huge fan of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Oregon Ducks and the Chicago Cubs! (I have a dog named Wrigley)
I’m terribly addicted to music—ALLLLL kinds and driving in the car with the sunroof open and radio turned up helps the creative juices flow.
I am deliciously addicted to queso and cupcakes; but even with that…I like to slowly kill my body with Crossfit. I’m annoyingly sarcastic.
People ask me ‘what has been your favorite book to write’—I would have to say my original series. (I think it sold 100 copies) J Someday…I may have to tweak them a bit because my heart was poured into those books—but they need help! Slick was my Amazon best seller…but every one of them mean something to me.
In the end, I truly believe life is taken way too seriously by most…I say enjoy every moment, have an adult beverage and READ!! Cheers….
