DEBUT The Christmas Café in Silver Bells, WY, is a touchpoint of Sylvie West’s happiness. When the café’s owner lets her know about his upcoming plan to retire and sell the business, she realizes that her years of memories in the café’s kitchen with her grandmother are about to be lost. If Sylvie can prove she’s capable of profitably running the café, there’s a chance she can keep it going, but she needs to draw a crowd. Enter handsome actor Royce Elliot and the Holiday Channel film crew who have come to town. Not only does Royce seem to like the idea of providing free promo, but he also seems interested in Sylvie. Family and friends are also pitching in to help, including Abe DeWitt, whose goat farm provides Sylvie with her star ingredients. Things seem to be looking up, but Royce’s advances begin to feel calculated, Sylvie’s family starts causing trouble, and Abe might have feelings for her too. Sylvie is forced to confront the future she wants, despite her longing for the past.
VERDICT Evans infuses the sweetness and warmth of Christmas into her debut novel, perfect for anyone looking to get in the holiday spirit.
