Snowflake Inn

by Julie Castle

When a merry matchmaker brings two lonely people together, will a Christmas love follow?

Gina Snow’s life imploded after her fiancé dumped her and stole her dream job as a pastry chef at a famous hotel. Now she’s come back to temporarily run her uncle Dan's Snowflake Inn after he had a series of mini strokes. She’ll keep the inn going while he finishes rehab. Then maybe she’ll try to get a life. One thing she knows is romance is not in the cards for her. She vows never to mix love and business again.

Jessie Barnes, a wounded ex-warrior recently dismissed from the same rehab facility, is hungry to complete one more mission. He’s come to the inn, taking Dan up on his request that he manage the inn so Gina is not burdened and can follow her dreams.

Can Gina and Jessie work together? Will they find the piece of their heart that each is missing when they come together? To find out, take a trip with me to the Snowflake Inn.

About the author

Julie Castle is a natural-born romantic with a modicum of artistic talent inherited from her mom and a love for telling tall tales she got from her dad. That set her up for being a starving artist, the biggest fibber in the world, or a romance author. She’s so glad she chose the latter. She's always had a love affair with the written word. As a child growing up in a small town, she loved visiting the local library, a converted gilded age mansion, and getting lost between the pages of a book. The drafty old mansion could be a spooky place, but she still loved it. She enjoyed poking into behind the scenes areas she wasn't supposed to venture into. She's still the same way, which is why she loves writing romance with an edge, paranormal, suspenseful, super sexy, or just laugh your pants off funny. She resides in Wisconsin with her family.

A sweet read on Kindle Unlimited.

Fun read about a pastry chef who gives up her career and takes over her uncle's inn after he has a stroke. An injured veteran arrives to help her--or so she thinks. Sweet story, but it could use a good edit.
