Publisher's summary

Francesca ‘Frankie’ Kinkade has a penchant for trouble. By day, her candle-making business keeps her busy, and by night, she plays matchmaker for her entire family. When a tall, dark, and handsome stranger arrives in town, Frankie is tempted to set him up—until she learns he’s no prince, he’s a cold-hearted capitalist determined to sell her sister’s dream.

Forget mixing business with pleasure, Chandler Collins never mixes business with family. When he inherits an inn from a father he hated, he immediately heads up to the nowhere town in Maine to sell it. Considering he’s sold half of Fifth Avenue, it shouldn’t have been a problem. However, mysterious things start happening to ward off every buyer except one.

Frankie wouldn’t say her plan was a great one, but who wants to buy an inn that’s haunted? No one. When her master class in ghosting leaves her sister as the only buyer left, Frankie is sure the city slicker will take the offer and head back to his skyscrapers.

Except Chandler realizes who’s behind the lack of interest in the property, and he’s not going to be beat by the beautiful woman who makes his blood burn. So he calls her bluff. He’ll stay at the inn himself for one week to prove its not haunted.

Frankie’s first thought: Challenge accepted. Until too many nights at the candlelit inn make this a battle she wants to lose. And when she does, her brand of trouble catches up with her. The consequence of a night of passion. She never should’ve mixed pleasure with business… because now she’s pregnant with his baby.

Fun and Sexy

The Candlemaker is the third book in the Kinkade series. Frankie Kinkade will do anything for her family, even convince buyers that the local inn is haunted. She is the ghost, scaring off her sisters’s competition for the property. Chandler Colins’ mother has Alzheimer’s, and her favorite place is the small coastal town of Friendship, Maine. He comes to town not only to spend time with his mother, but to town to find out what is going on only to discover Frankie and her mischievousness are more interesting than finding a buyer. To prove to a potential buyer, Chandler agrees to spend a week at the end, baiting Frankie to do the same. And of course she can’t resist a challenge from the man who scrambles her thoughts with a kiss!

Chandler and Frankie are both coping with paternal abandonment. It has made them both headstrong, independent, and protective over their family members. Frankie’s Gigi is psychic and meddlesome in a way that is fun. Chandler and Frankie are rivals to lovers. The chemistry is great and the plot is fun! The third act conflict may not be for everyone, but I liked it! The Candlemaker is a good small town romance between two hardheaded people who can’t not fall in love with each other, no matter what shenanigans they get up to.
