    Tris McHenny runs a B&B with her mom in Mistletoe Meadows. Fisher Ames checks into the B&B... he's in Mistletoe Meadows for his older sister's wedding. He and Tris end up reminiscing about their high school days. How did they start a fire in the schools Home Ec room? Did it derail their relationship before it really got started?

    I recommend this clean, Christian rom-com. You'll especially want to read this short entertaining story to learn about the answered prayers.

    Wow! Tris and Fisher have such a short but sweet and fun inspirational story. Fisher is in Mistletoe Meadows for his sister’s wedding. He was surprised to see his former crush manning the desk but the Inn did belong to her family. They had a strange yet funny backstory when they were younger and their families forbade them to speak to one another so Fisher ended up two hours away from the town while Tris stayed with her mother. Will they get their second chance to be together?

    Second Chance Christmas Cracker Crush by Jess Gussman is a cute quick read. If you enjoy high school crush, second chances, small town, and Christian themes, then this novella is for you! Fisher and Tris give a nice light-hearted romance to make you smile…as well as laugh when you finally find out what happened to that bad batch of cookies…

    This novella is a standalone in the Christmas Kisses and Cookie Crumb series.

    I received a free copy of this book from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Fisher returns to his hometown for his sisters wedding and runs smack into his old flame from high school, Tris. They were always friends and both families always loved the other but one day as they succumbed to their first kiss passion, they started a fire in the high school home ec room.

    After that, they were forbidden to see each other and Fisher went off to college and a job in the big city nover to return home until the wedding. Tris has stayed in their town to help her mother run the B&B after her father leaves her mother for greener pastures and never looks back.

    As they renew their friendship, they discover that they remember everything about their time growing up and they step back into their pattern of talking to each other. They discover that neither one ever stopped loving the other and now they need to rethink their futures to see if they really want to stay together.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet second chance romcom, and a recipe
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024
    This is a low angst, second chance romcom. The heroine has happily remained in her home town, the hero is back for a wedding. They had a humiliating incident in high school that derailed their relationship. Seeing how satisfied and fulfilled his family is, and looking back on the incident from an adult perspective causes him to question the life he has chosen. Working with the heroine on some Christmas projects, including the Christmas Crackers, he begins to believe that he should stay in town and pursue a relationship again. He asks God for confirmation and God shows up in a big way. I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick read with a very satisfying ending. I also made the cookies. They were easy, quick to make, and used common ingredients. They were a hit with the family, and I will be adding them to my cookie packages this year.
    I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest opinion.

    Second Chance Christmas Cracker Crush is a glimpse of what might have been with that guy in high school many years ago. It’s a sweet uplifting Christmas story. All the drama has occurred in the past during high school. Now the grown-up Fisher and Tris have met again. I enjoyed the banter and sweet time Fisher and Tres have reviewing their past that leads to their future.
