'Tis the worst season to be single, but Kara Hastings won't let a little Christmas funk spoil the festive season. Sure, running her own bakery is a little harder than she expected, but she can handle it. And she'll prove it to a certain infuriatingly handsome, bossy Big City guy. She may be sugar and spice, but she can kick his butt twice.



Nate Griffin is in Briar Creek only for the holidays, and he refuses to fall for the whole "small town, candy cane-scented Christmas Wonderland" thing. He's more interested in the fresh-faced cookie chef who always knows exactly how to get under his skin. So when Nate challenges Kara in the town's big holiday contest, it's not just the competition that starts to heat up. If he's not careful, Kara won't just melt his icy resolve against a small-town Christmas . . . she'll melt his heart too.

Review:

Christmas Comes to Main Street is the final book in the Briar Creek series by Olivia Miles which really bums me out a little. From the very beginning I fell in love with this series, it’s made me laugh and bring me to tears but each story is one I will cherish and re-read over and over again. Miles not only developed amazing characters but a town that stood out and had me wanting to move to Briar Creek.



Nate is in Briar Creek to spend time with his Aunt but as soon as the holidays are over he is heading back home. After running into Kara, literally, and crushes her cookies that she was delivering to his aunts Inn he knows he wants to get know her. The more time these two spend together the more the sparks start to fly and Nate realizes all he’s ever wanted he finds not only in Kara but in Briar Creek.


From the very beginning I loved Kara and how she was trying to find what she really wanted and enjoyed. In the previous books we see her struggling with quitting and wanting to start her own place and am glad she ended up doing that and her family supported her. She is determined to make this bakery work and the determination she brings gave her spunk. Nate started off a little on the Grinch side but the more time he spent with Kara the more warming up he did not only with her and the town but with Christmas. I loved how he wanted to help Kara and gave her suggestions to help her business come along but sometimes the way he said things had me shaking my head and saying start over buddy you are down fast, but he meant well.

I thought this story was sweet and while there are love scenes I liked that they were the fade to black scenes, it helped me see the romance for what it was and without all the details. From the moment they met I could feel the chemistry and attraction but as the story progressed I could also see their love starting to build.


I am sad this was that last book in a wonderful series, but this was the perfect ending to the Briar Creek series. I am excited to see what Ms. Miles will come up with for her next series and with her writing I have become a huge fan! If you’re looking for a cute and sweet Christmas read you won’t want to miss Christmas Comes to Main Street!
