Keep the cold at bay and cozy up with New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan's Christmas Book Set, collecting two novels--Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop and Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery--a pair of sweet stories full of romance, cheer, and hope for this magical time of year.
- Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop
As England's first glorious snowfall of the season blankets Derbyshire hills, Rosie Hopkins is preparing for a festive holiday with her boyfriend Stephen and her new puppy Mr. Dog--and treating Lipton's locals to all the treats her Sweetshop and Confectionery can offer. But when a devastating tragedy strikes at the heart of the close-knit town, it's going to take Rosie's indomitable spirit, the embrace of family and friends, and the resilient good will of a community to turn it all around and make this a holiday to be thankful for.
- Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery
In the Cornish coastal village of Mount Polbearne, the aroma of gingerbread cookies and other treats from Polly's Little Beach Street Bakery tempts people in from the cold. It's a perfect start to the Christmas season, one Polly fully intends to spend with her beekeeper boyfriend Huckle, cuddled up in front of the fireplace with cups of eggnog. But when a storm cuts the village off from the mainland, it will take all of the villagers to work together in order to ensure everyone has a happy holiday.

I purchased this bundle on a trip to the west coast in December.. Read on the airplane to and from. Liked the first Novel better than the second. I don't know what it was about the send novel but the characters did not resonate with me nor the plot line. I would give that one 3 *. Easy reads. I like to read happy endings during the Christmas holidays. ;)
All smiles and good food and a proper English holiday. Not for everyone, but if you have read the prior stories and lived them as I have, these are happy addendum to those
