Snowflake Bay By: Donna Kauffman

Book Description....

"There's no place like seaside Blueberry Cove, Maine, at Christmas—and there's nothing like a wedding, the warmth of the holidays, and an old crush, to create the perfect new start…

Interior designer Fiona McCrae has left fast-paced Manhattan to move back home to peaceful Blueberry Cove. But she's barely arrived before she's hooked into planning her big sister Hannah's Christmas wedding—in less than seven weeks. The last thing she needs is for her first love, Ben Campbell, to return to neighboring Snowflake Bay…

As kids, Fiona was the bratty little sister Ben mercilessly teased—while pining after Hannah. But Fi never once thought of Ben like a brother. And that hasn't changed. Except Fi is all grown up. Will Ben notice her now? More importantly, with her life in a jumble, should he? Or might the romance of the occasion, the spirit of the season, and the gifts of time ignite a long-held flame for many Christmases to come…"

My Thoughts.....

I loved this Christmas holiday contemporary romance read that had several things going on in this well written story  that will keep your attention all the way to the end. We find Fiona was back in her home town of Blueberry Cove. Maine [small town] for her sister Hannah's Christmas wedding and since she was now staying and opening up her new shop [Fiona McCrae Interiors].  What will happen when Fiona who was nicknamed Fireplug Fi by a a old childhood friend  ....Ben who was her brothers Logan's best friend was also back in town working at his family business?  There will be a lots going on in this story...from upcoming nuptials, old friends and family getting back together to even business concerns. What will happen as Ben sees Fiona as a a woman and not just 'Fireplug Fi?  Will they become more than just friends as Fiona learns that Ben's become far greater than the boy she had a crush on?  I loved how this author gives the reader such a well written story about this McCrae family who were truly there for each other along with some other very interesting characters that will keep you turning the pages until the end.  Be ready for catching up with the Cove residents that are well developed, likable, well portrayed and believable that will keep the reader engaged in it all.

This is the second novel in this series..'The Brides of Blueberry Cove #2 ....which deals mainly with Fiona and Ben. I would suggest that even though its a standalone read I would read the first series to truly understand how well this storyline is so well written.  I truly loved that  train ride that Ben and Fiona took during the holidays ...what chemistry, definitely leaving you saying WoW!  Now, to learn
just what I am talking about you will have to pick up "Snowflake Bay" to see how well this author presents it to the readers.   Now, I will be ready for this next series featuring Kerry McCrae.
