style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Based on the Hallmark Original Movie, A Gingerbread Romance is the story of Taylor Scott, an architect working her way up the in the firm for which she works. &nbsp; Taylor has never lived in one city very long, being the daughter of two parents who relocated frequently for their jobs. &nbsp;She remembers the desire she had as a child &nbsp;to have one place to call home &#8211; something she has forgotten about as an aspiring architect. &nbsp;She is challenged by her firm to make a life-sized gingerbread house together with a baker in a local contest. &nbsp;When her originally appointed partner chooses to join another team, Taylor joins forces with a local baker, Adam, who she meets when he delivers a Christmas tree cake to Taylor\u2019s office. &nbsp;Adam is a widower who had to put his dreams of culinary school on hold after the sudden death of his wife in order to support himself and his young daughter Brooke.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">While it was not love at first sight, the partners begin to work well together. &nbsp;Adam and Brooke show Taylor what it is like to have a traditional Christmas and she starts to see a different life for herself.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">I really enjoyed the book despite the fact I had watched the Hallmark movie last year. &nbsp;The central theme of family and traditions have great importance to me personally. &nbsp;I loved the graphics of the gingerbread house at the beginning of each chapter and feel it added to the coziness of the book. &nbsp;I highly recommend this book to those who want to read a sweet, Christmas story.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: #3d85c6;\">Thank you to Netgalley and Hallmark Publishing for the ARC of this
