The Sweetest Christmas
A charming, feel-good, sweet holiday romance stuffed full of Christmas cheer. Grab a mug of hot cocoa, curl up by the fireplace, and be swept away by a book the celebrates the merriest season!
Between running Fir Tree Grove’s beloved chocolate shop and chasing after her spirited daughter Katie, single mother Imogen Sanders has a very full life. It’s only in the quiet moments that she allows herself to wonder if maybe something is missing.
Still, with another busy holiday season on the horizon—and the chance to have her work featured in a magazine—the last thing on Imogen’s mind is romance. She’s far too busy to think about that.
Luckily, her friends are happy to help.
Lincoln Blackwell and Imogen were once high school sweethearts, but they went their separate ways after graduation, and Lincoln ended up leaving Fir Tree Grove. Since his return to town a few years ago, they’ve reconnected and built an easy, comfortable friendship.
And this Christmas, Vanessa and the rest of Imogen’s friends are determined to help her and Lincoln see what’s obvious to everyone else in town—that the two of them are perfect for each other.
With sleigh rides through the snow, chocolate-making mishaps, and cozy movie nights, the holidays are the perfect time for a little matchmaking. But will Lincoln and Imogen be brave enough to admit their feelings for each other… or will they both miss out on their secret Christmas wish?

Chocolate artist and confectioner Imogen Sanders is swamped with work and caring for little Katie during this Christmas season. Her shop, Artisan Chocolates, has been chosen to be featured in the magazine Sweet Confections. Meanwhile, her friends Mabel and Vanessa are scheming to reunite her with Lincoln Blackwell, her boyfriend from her teenage years. The ups and downs of "secret" matchmaking and other sub-plots provide us with many sweet moments in the book. Fir Tree Grove is the perfect setting for beautiful winter holidays. I appreciate how Fiona Baker focuses on romance for people of all ages. I loved book 3 and highly recommend it.

The Sweetest Christmas
This was a very fun read. Oh, how the match making was so sweet, and fun. This couple had such busy lives they just didn't see it coming. I was so excited for high school sweethearts to Finley get together at a magical time of year. A must Christmas read. Enjoy

Matchmaking to an extreme
I liked the characters and challenges for Imogene but the interfering friends got pretty irritating . Alls well that ends well. I guess.

Three for Three
Who doesn’t love Fir Tree Grove, Maine
“. . . always gave him joy, and he loved the sense of community and camaraderie that there always seemed to be”
Such a passionate story line. One cannot help but hold their breath while rooting for the outcome, but will it work out?
The author has such a gift for weaving intrigue and depth into each of her characters. I love getting lost in the vivid moments . . .
