New Release- "Twelfth Cake House" by Heidi Eljarbo

 

Even a clever matchmaker may need a push in the right direction if she’s to find true love. When she’s asked to find a match for herself, it proves to be the most difficult task she’s ever undertaken.

Mid-December 1796.

Sixty-year-old spinster Miss Jemima Thurgood has three weeks to finish the preparations for her annual Twelfth Night party. In her position as a matchmaker, for over forty years she has assumed a grave responsibility. Luckily, she’s a shrewd observer of people, and many happy reunions have come about due to her exceptional talent for nudging kindred hearts in the right direction.

Every year, Jemima invites twelve carefully selected men and women to her festivity, and each guest is assigned a dinner partner. The days before the merrymaking are constantly disrupted by one unforeseen event after another. Jemima must work hard to be ready in time, and more importantly, to provide the kind of celebration her chosen guests deserve.

But this year, what Jemima doesn’t know is that her life is about to take a sudden change of course—one she could not have predicted or planned for. As the days pass, several gentlemen indicate they are interested in becoming better acquainted with her, but only a very special man can charm a matchmaker.

A sweet romance novella set during a witty and enchanting Georgian-Era Christmas, Twelfth Cake House is a story about traditions, goodwill, and finding hope and the courage to change and take a chance on finding true love.

My Review

The Twelfth Cake House is a beautiful and magical story of the Twelfth Cake House annual party hosted by Jemima Thurgood. A matchmaker and baker, known by the village plans her annual party, bringing together her couples for the season, hoping they will be a match. This year she is in for a surprise.

I loved Jemima's character. Witty, always thinking outside the box, and willing to help the needy. Twelfth Cake House is a sweet, and unique story that almost reads like a fairytale.

Heidi is one of my favorite authors and never fails to entertain with engaging characters within a wonderful setting. Highly recommended. I received an ARC from the author and willingly chose to review it. All opinions are my own.
