Enjoyable multicultural boxed set with diverse characters and settings, twist and turn plots, and believable resolutions. As a retired teacher, I empathized with Luke struggling with calculus. Having worked in a bakery as a teen, I related with Starr Clearwater in Peppermint Christmas and Sydney Kensington in Love and a Whole Lot of Santas. Christmas at the Aloha Cafe was the first Christmas story I have read with a Hawaiian setting. While there were a few typos, they did not distract from the reading. Each novella also included a scrumptious holiday cookie recipe.
