MY REVIEW: "Christmas in Bayberry", from author Jennifer Faye, is a charming contemporary romance filled with holiday heart and Christmas cheer. In Bayberry, a quaint little town in Vermont, everyone's life revolves around the candle factory--they either work there, or they know somebody who works there. Many years ago, Wes Adams and his family had briefly lived in Bayberry--just long enough for Wes to develop a crush on a certain pretty girl named Kate. Now living in New York City, and working as a senior business consultant, Wes is quite surprised when he is given the assignment of traveling to Bayberry to do a business analysis for the candle company. Wes has long been hoping for a big promotion, and this could be his opportunity to really shine. Kate Taylor works for her Aunt Penney in their family-owned candle company, and she wouldn't have it any other way. While there are business concerns--growing expenses, old equipment, etc--the town wouldn't be the same without the factory, and Kate will do everything in her power to keep it going, not just for her family, but the sake of the community. Rattled by the presence of the handsome business consultant, Kate doesn't realize that she and Wes were short-time schoolmates, but he definitely remembers her, and he's still just as smitten. As Kate and Wes spend time working together, a friendship and awareness grows between them. Wes is feeling the pull of small-town life--even having thoughts about owing a house and a dog--and of course, there are his feelings for Kate. Having guarded her heart and devoted herself to the factory for so long, Kate is aware that Wes is gradually wearing down her emotional armor. There are many issues to be resolved, however, and if Wes does his job, and the results don't look good for the future of the factory, what hope could there be for a future together for Wes and Kate? "Christmas in Bayberry" is a sweet contemporary holiday romance filled with captivating characters who live in an ideal small-town setting.
