A second chance for first love?
Nikki has lost the love of her life...twice, she has cases and cases of emotional baggage that she carries around daily, but owning the Gingerbread Inn soothes her soul...until Seth returns!
Seth has only ever loved Nikki, he had to leave her before, but never stopped loving her and only her. He is stunned but thrilled when he finds her at 'their' Inn, stunned, thrilled and very determined. He knows it will be a bumpy, painful and difficult journey to convince Nikki to trust him with her heart again, but he knows that fate has given him a second chance and he is determined to prove his love and secure their happiness.
This is a sweet, if emotional, second chance love story, I enjoyed the characters and the plot. However there are a number of typos and Nikki's name appears to change a number of times from Nikki to her given Nicole, which then becomes Nichole, who again refers to herself as Nikki before we revert back to Nicole/Nikki. There appears to be little consistency between when she is Nikki and when Nicole but it would definitely be easier with only one spelling of Nicole/Nichole.
I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

They met and fell in love, and he promised her he would stay in touch, but she believes he broke his promise. She has to convince her own chef to take a long-overdue vacation. This is a sweet holiday story with a bit of Christmas magic thrown in.
