If you have a chance, pick up The Christmas Cookie Club for your holiday reading! The Christmas Cookie Club is a fun holiday read with real emotion (read the acknowledgments to learn about the real life Travis and Jazzy in Lori's life). Travis has a mischievousness about him that speaks to that bad boy side of him, which is endearingly attractive when blended with his single dad/devoted father side. You can grow and mold it and have it manifest itself differently, but once a bad boy, always a bad boy. Having and caring for Jazzy, his sickly daughter, has transformed him, but we know (as does the wonderful Lori Wilde), that you can't change whatever archetype is at your core. It works because we get glimpses of his bad boy traits beneath the caring father/nurturer persona he's grown into. Lori adeptly crafts Travis as a reformed bad boy. Meanwhile Travis is divorced, devoted to his daughter, and a true romantic hero. Sarah is a writer with a pseudonym (Sadie Cool) and is still trying to forget her most embarrassing moment. Sure Travis is making a huge mistake, she races to the church and interrupts the wedding.įast-forward nine years. The problem? Sarah is only 15 and Travis is about to be married to someone else. Sarah believes in her one true love (because of Kismet cookies) and is sure Travis Walker is him. Sarah returns to Twilight, Texas, the town where her grandmother lives and where Sarah spent her Christmas and summer holidays.

It's the story of Sarah Collier and Travis Walker. Lori Wilde has a knack for creating endearing stories with relatable and endearing characters.

Travis, however, might have different ideas. His smile still makes her melt, but Sarah knows that ship has sailed. And she’ll never fall foolishly in love again!īut when a letter from a sick fan brings Sarah back to Twilight, she’s shocked to discover that Travis is the little girl’s father ”unattached and hotter than ever. She may be grown-up, slimmed-down, bestselling children’s book author “Sadie Cool”now, but Sarah will never forget that day. The townsfolk of Twilight, Texas, believe the legend, but not Sarah Collier ”not since she was a pudgy teenager, running down the church aisle on Christmas Day in a jingle bell sweater and reindeer antlers, trying to stop Travis Walker from marrying someone else. “On Christmas Eve, if you sleep with kismet cookies under your pillow and dream of your one true love, he will be your destiny.” **I’m holding a scavenger hunt! A winner will receive a download of one of my digital books (Cursed, The Chain Tree, or The Lola Cruz Christmas Story).
