Lulu Boyd is famous for her bakery’s donuts. It’s the one thing she knows she does well, and she enjoys that teenagers from the area visit several times a week. Lulu’s luck with men is another story. When the high school teacher, Preston Green, starts buying donuts once a week, she looks forward to talking with him.
Preston Green plans to teach at the small town’s high school for one year before switching jobs to teach at a college in another state. He’s not looking to begin a short-term relationship. His family is pressuring him to date.
Lulu’s high-school customers convince her to enter a contest to bid on a date. It’s for charity and Lulu reluctantly agrees. It’s one date, after all. Preston bids to have a date for a family holiday dinner. What could go wrong?
I love reading books set during the Christmas season every year. This one didn’t disappoint. It actually reads very much like a holiday movie.
I enjoyed the story. The characters had believable hurdles.
Recommended for readers who also enjoy holiday movies.
