Christmas Falls Book 9: Scrooge You! by Brigham Vaughn

 

Christmas Falls Book 9

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. Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It’s the end of the Christmas Falls series and it has been so fun! This was the perfect way to end the series and tying up the last few threads we’ve seen throughout the series as a whole. In this story, we follow Hayden and Joel. Hayden has moved in with his mom and stepdad at Christmas Falls after his new job fell through. Struggling to find a new one as a web designer and straight out of college, he is none too happy to be in Christmas Falls. Especially when he isn’t thrilled about the holiday season in general after losing his dad during this time of year. So for now he’ll keep job hunting and hope that it takes him far away. At least that’s what he thought he wanted. But after falling (literally) for Christmas Falls’ baker, well things may change just a bit. Joel has noticed the last few months the cute early morning runner who’s grumpy expression only makes him more intrigued. And when said runner slips outside his bakery, he finally gets a chance to meet him properly. Joel loves his life in Christmas Falls, but rarely takes time off work to enjoy himself. But after meeting Hayden, he realizes just how much of a workaholic he has become. Together, they’ll make one another realize of the opportunities that are right in front of them if they are willing to look. They may not know what could become of their future but they’ll take it day by day and fall in a little bit more in love with the other as they do so. Really loved this story! Hayden and Joel were adorable together. And they really balanced the other out. Supporting each other and realizing that for the right person, priorities could change without having to give up on other things. A really great story to wrap up this series. I’m sad it’s over but if you haven’t read the rest, you definitely should! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
