The books in this series are little jewels that each can be read in a couple of hours. This novella featured Jenna and Nate, the man who had broken her heart 8 years earlier when he blindsided her by breaking off their relationship even though they were closely-bonded and had been inseparable for several years. Now he is trying to reconnect. I thought that the candy canes mentioned in the title were like a picture of the two of them. The candy canes were broken in the process of delivery and seemed to be unusable but instead of discarding them, Jenna and Nate figured out a new and better way to use them in Jenna’s shop window display. This book dealt with the issue of forgiveness. Without diminishing Jenna’s pain, it examined the situation and what her various choices were with their consequences. If you’re struggling to forgive someone, this book might help you sort things out. I enjoyed it! I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author. All opinions expressed are strictly my own.

Nate and Jenna seem to be caught up in big swirls of chaos from candy canes to a painful past. Loved another short reading break compliments of Jessie Gussman. And loved their story of unraveling the chaos.

This is a story about regret, redemption, and forgiveness as well as being brave enough to move forward and leave the pain of the past behind. Jenna and Nate were best friends, then high school sweethearts until he suddenly broke up with her.and broke her heart. He further devastated her by showing up at prom with another girl. In the eight years since, both have never forgotten what happened and neither have moved on with another.
Now, some eight years later, they are both back in their home town of Christmas Tree, PA. Nate is now delivering parcels and Jenna has just become a partner in her aunt’s shop. With her aunt laid up with a broken leg, it is up to Jenna to set up the window display for the town’s Candy Cane Competition. Winning the competition would be a boon to business, something the shop needs right now. Unfortunately, the candy canes she needs for the window display arrive smashed. But that isn’t the only shock Jenna has to deal with on her first day on the job. Nate is the one delivering the candy canes. Seeing each other is unexpected for both of them, but Nate is determined to take the opportunity to apologize to Jenna for his behaviour years ago and for hurting her. He desperately wants another chance with Jenna, the woman who still holds his heart, but will she ever be able to let down the guards around her heart and trust him not to hurt her again?
I liked Nate’s sincerity, his earnest efforts to make amends and persuade Jenna to give him, them, another chance. He doesn’t try to bully or rush her, but gives her time and space to think things through. He wants a romantic relationship, but even if that is a no go for Jenna, he hopes they can at least be friends. Nate does not downplay her hurt or trust issues, as he knows that his past actions caused them. I admire Jenna too. She accepted his apology, forgave him, but acknowledges her lingering pain and trust issues. After working with Nate on the window display, seeing the man he has become and listening to his regrets and reasons behind his actions, she wants to give them a second chance at a future together, but doesn’t give in until she is certain she can let go of the lingering pain and move forward. Their journey toward a future together, is a tad bumpy, emotional and includes self-reflection and having faith in each other and God’s guidance.
This book has my highest recommendation.

I loved Jenna, who came back to Christmas town to care for her aunt, who has fallen and broken her leg. She owns a toy shop in town and Jenna was hoping that somehow, her aunt would ask her to join the business with her. It’s been 8 years since Jenna lived here and she absolutely adores it and wants to live here forever! Her aunt tells her that the shop window decorating contest is the next day, but her candy canes she ordered hadn’t come in yet! So, when the driver arrives with a couple of huge, crushed boxes, her dreams of winning the contest fly right out that window! Then she actually looks at the delivery guy! It’s Nate, the boy she was in love with in high school and who she thought she’d spend her life with. But, he had broken up with her the night before prom. They talk, and she lets him know how much she had been hurt. He really didn’t know. His parents, teachers, all of the adults he looked up to for advice, had told him since Jenna was staying put and he was going to California, the sooner he broke up with her the better off they would both be! They have supper together and they clicked exactly like they always had! She knew that she had forgiven him and even the girl he took to prom, but that didn’t erase the years of pain she had endured. They come up with ideas of how to use the broken candy canes and get right back to the shop and start working. Their ideas seem to be working. They leave them overnight and will check them very early the next morning, the day of the contest. Everything works great, even their love for each other, that is almost right back like it used to be. Nate gives the credit to God and tells her there had never been an unfaithful time by him, in those 8 years. She could see in his eyes that he was absolutely telling her the truth. She was going to follow her heart and so was he, this time, no matter who tried to advise him. You need to read this sweet, short romance! I am on the AR team and this is my own honest opinion. 🙏💖🙏💙

It's short, sweet and complete. I really like these Christmas stories that happen in the same town of Christmas Tree, PA. Most of the characters have grown up there and love the small town atmosphere.
Jenna has come back to town to help run her aunt's business. While her aunt is recuperating from a broken leg, Jenna needs to decorate the storefront for the annual Christmas Window display. Unfortunately the candy canes that were ordered to use as decorations have not arrived. When they do she discovers they are all broken. When the delivery guy turns out to be her former HS boyfriend Nate, she wants nothing to do with him even though he offers to help her come up with a new design idea for the contest.
Nate broke up with her just before the prom and then he took another girl Abby to the prom instead. Jenna had no date and stayed home from the prom with a broken heart. Now Nate wants to apologize for taking the wrong advice when he broke up with her. It's taken her years to get over Nate and she hasn't really dated anyone since their breakup. Is it possible that the two of them can reconcile and get a second chance?
I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest unbiased review.

Nate and Jenna dated through high school. Since they would be on opposite sides of the country for college, Nate's dad and several other people Nate trusted told him it would be best if they broke up.
Eight years later Jenna moves back to Christmas Tree, PA in hopes of taking over the store owned by her Aunt Janet. (Aunt Janet had fallen and broke her leg.) Jenna didn't realize Nate was back in Christmas Tree until he delivers two big boxes to the store. When he saw Jenna he immediately apologized for the breakup.
Can Jenna learn to trust Nate? What happens that gives Nate a chance to prove he will stay through good and bad?
This was a short, clean, contemporary romance. I recommend this uplifting, feel-good story. Definitely a satisfying way to spend an hour or so.

This is another funny and sweet bite-size novelette by Jessie Gussman. These fun little stories have just the perfect amount of romance and humor to warm up a chilly winter evening, This story focuses on the shattered relationship of Jenna and Nate. He dumped her before prom ten years ago. She thought they were in love. Both of them have regretted his stupid mistake. Jenna is tasked with creating an award-winning window design but her candy canes arrive broken. And worst of all delivered by Nate, her old flame who she hadn’t seen in years. Their chance encounter soon leads to a hesitant rekindling of affection. But Jenna doesn’t want her heart broken again.
Once again Jessie delivers a fun rom-com with enough tension to keep you turning the pages. It makes for a nice evening read when you don’t want to watch the miserable programming that is on television!

4.5 stars.
Jenna and Nate re-connect coincidentally eight years after Nate followed advice to break off his relationship with Jenna. A catastrophe with a candy cane delivery makes it potentially impossible for Jenna to carry out her aunt’s wishes to decorate their store window display for the annual Christmas Town competition.
This novelette focuses a bit too much on the guilt Nate feels for his previous behaviour and angst from Jenna in deciding whether to accept Nate’s help and his desire to begin a new relationship with her. Poor injured and bed-ridden Aunt Janet unfortunately seems to fade into the background of Jenna’s mind.
The author incorporates her customary easy-to-read writing style to enable her characters to reflect on their feelings while deciding their future actions, all while they are physically involved in making the festive season a memorable occasion. This is my honest opinion of an ARC I received from the author.

Crushed candy for a crushed spirit.
It's been eight years since Abby last saw Nate. The night the boy she thought would be with her forever broke up with her and walked away. It still hurts to think about it. She couldn't believe it was him when he delivered the candy canes she was waiting for to her aunt's shop.
Nate didn’t know she was back in town. He still feels guilty about his breakup with Abby even though he thought it was for the right reasons. This may be his chance to make amends and get her forgiveness if she will give him a chance to explain. He’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means lots of glue and time.
This is a sweet second-chance holiday romance with important messages of faith scattered throughout. I received a free copy, but my review was honest and voluntary.

Another delightful addition to the Christmas Tree, PA series by Jessie Gussman. Each book set at Christmastime with a little bit of a dilemma that draws two people together. This one is a second chance romance centering around Jenna and Nate who broke her heart eight years ago when he broke up with her just before their senior prom then left Christmas Tree for college. Before he came back Jenna left for a job and has just returned to take over her Aunt Janet’s train shop where Nate suddenly appears with a delivery of candy canes. And that begins the candy cane chaos and Nate hopes will give him a second chance with Jenna.
As with all Jessie Gussman books, the reader can expect some good Godly wisdom, characters learning to improve themselves to be better towards others and a sweet clean romance.

Caught in the Candy Cane Chaos is a sweet story of forgiveness and choosing to see what can be when you choose to trust again! On Jenna's first day back in town, she comes face to face with the one person she was hoping to avoid. Nate had crushed her heart, but now wants forgiveness and another chance. Jenna learns that forgiveness releases her from the prison of the past and empowers her to move into an amazing future. Forgiveness doesn't deny the hurt. It means releasing the person or situation to God and trusting Him to work all things together for good... even crushed candy canes for a windrow display!

I’ve been in a small bit of a reading slump. I have 5 open books but none of them were gripping me. I decided to pick up this short Christmas novella to see if it could get me out of my funk.
This was a sweet and short Christmas novella to curl up with. A Christian second chance between high school sweethearts and lots of candy canes. I enjoyed this read as it was light and helped me enjoy books again after having a few false starts on others. 4.5 rounded up to 5.

Another great short story in Christmas Tree, PA. This series, Christmas Tree, Pa sweet romcom, has different young people needing to solve unexpected problems. Each is a totally read alone book and I have enjoyed every one of them. Jenna and Nate were brought back together 8 years breaking up in high school. This one has them putting their heads together to solve the broken candy canes her aunt expected to use to decorate her store. I received this as an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

This is another great novella. When romance has been wronged and Jenna came home and is helping her aunt, who has a broken leg, by working at her shop. Lo and behold the delivery man, Nate, turns out to be her ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately next-door to the shop is the girl from high school that Nate took to the prom instead of Jenna. Because of bad advice from adults, they can look back now and see the mistake they made of not being together.

Jenna returns to Christmas Tree, PA to help her aunt run her store after she got injured. Her ex-boyfriend turns out to be the delivery person who brings the packages she's been waiting on for her window decorations.

Loved seeing these two let go of the past and move forward in their lives.
