Sweets and Santa: A Paranormal Cozy Mystery is the second book in The Matchmaking Baker Series by Rosie Pease. I can’t believe I haven’t discovered this author before now- because after reading this, I know that I’ve been missing out on some wonderful stories. I enjoyed this book so much that I will definitely be going back to one-click as many more of her books as I can find.
This is a wonderful Christmas story- full of all the magic and spirit of Christmas that makes these types of books such a delight to read, anytime of the year. It has a small-town community feel- with mystery, magic, secrets, a little of the paranormal- and some unique and clever touches that really made this story quite memorable.
Joanie’s is one of Heartwood Hollow’s newer residents- a gifted baker, she has spent a long time renovating her bakery and getting everything just right. She opened the doors to her shop some months ago- and even though she has had the bakery for more than a year, this is the first Christmas she will be able to enjoy in her new hometown. Things are getting underway and all the businesses are decorating for the holiday- so she is extra excited to join in all the festivities, decorate her shop front- and even come up with a few unique Christmas recipes. But things begin to go missing from all around town, and adding to the mystery- the town seems to be overrun with decorative gnomes. Things take on an intriguing turn the closer to Christmas we get- making for a sweet, feel-good story.
I will be diving in to explore more of Ms. Pease’s stories, and the rest of this series as soon as possible.

Thank you, Rosie Pease!
