“The Twelve Dates of Christmas” by Jenny Bayliss

Kate Turner’s love life has gone completely stale and living in the tiny village of Blexford isn’t helping matters. Kate isn’t too bothered by this though, her career as a designer is thriving and she loves baking for her old friend Matt’s café on the side. Kate’s best friend, Laura, however thinks she needs to remedy her single status ASAP and signs Kate up for a holiday dating service. The “Twelve Dates of Christmas” special promises to match dates up based on compatibility and lets their clients choose what activities they want to participate in. Twelve dates, twelve different men…the odds have to be in her romantic favor, right? As Kate bounces from ice skating, to trivia, to dancing, to gingerbread house building, she begins to learn more about who she is and exactly why she is still single. Could Kate actually find love on these crazy dates as the countdown to Christmas ticks on? “The Twelve Dates of Christmas” drips with the classic predictability of a Hallmark movie but in the most delicious way. I want to move to Blexford, have a brownie at the Pear Tree Café and visit the Manor’s Christmas market immediately. If you are looking for a feel good Christmas rom-com, do not miss this one!
