Publisher's summary

Jingle all the way to Silver Bells, Wyoming, where love is a treat!

Clumsy, earnest baker Sylvie West has worked at the Christmas Café in Silver Bells, Wyoming, ever since her boozy eggnog fruitcake won the town’s annual holiday bake-off. Her forever happy place, the café complements her sweet, well-ordered life with her roommates: recently widowed Gramps and her yappy chihuahua-pug, Crumpet.

So, when Sylvie learns the café might be sold, she’s determined to save it the only way she can: by getting the Holiday Channel crew to set a scene at the café. She’s even met the film’s charming lead actor, Royce, thanks to Crumpet’s meddling. Between an unexpected acting gig, a booth at the Christmas festival, an appearance at the Christmas parade, and a budding romance with Royce, Sylvie has a lot on her plate. Good thing her old friend, gruff yet reliable Abe, has just come home to manage his parents’ goat farm—until she catches herself feeling a little too merry and bright in his presence. With some help from family, friends, Crumpet, and the goat farmer down the way, Sylvie’s plate might just be full of the sweetest treats she’s ever had . . .

"Evans infuses the sweetness and warmth of Christmas into her debut novel, perfect for anyone looking to get in the holiday spirit."—Library Journal

"The Christmas Cafe is a sweetly cozy, wholesome journey of self-discovery. . . . Stocking-stuffed with a sugary plot, a warm and caring hero and heroine, and scrumptious, absolutely drool-worthy festive baking, you’ll be yearning for Christmas no matter the season. The Christmas Cafe will bake your spirits bright!"—Lillie Vale, author of Wrapped with a Beau and The Decoy Girlfriend

"A frothy, feel-good confection of a novel, The Christmas Cafe is a love letter to new beginnings, tiny hometowns, and, of course, the most wonderful time of the year. An unforgettable debut that will make even the most cynical reader believe in Christmas miracles. Plan to devour this delicious tale in one sitting because once you step inside the world of Silver Bells, you’ll never want to leave!"—Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds

perfection

This sweet rom-com takes the cake! it was everything I want in a sweet romance. A female lead coming into herself, no miscommunication trope, small town love, and strong storyline with a great happy ending. I'd almost say the romance was a little secondary but still super sweet. the only thing that could have made it better is if there was a male POV. I love a "he falls first" male POV.
