THE FRUITCAKE CHALLENGE

When new lumberjack, Tom Jeffries, tells the camp cook, Jo Christy, that he’ll marry her if she can make a fruitcake, “as good as the one my mother makes,” she rises to the occasion. After all, he’s the handsomest, smartest, and strongest axman her camp-boss father has ever had in his camp—and the cockiest. And she intends to bring this lumberjack down a notch or three by refusing his proposal. The fruitcake wars are on!  

My Review:

A sweet novella brimming with faith and humour. Loved the whole concept of the fruitcake challenge -- which took on an engaging life of its own. And the fascinating details of life in a Michigan lumber camp created the perfect backdrop for these star-crossed lovers. Jo is so hard on poor Tom at the beginning, but then he's a tad brash and tends to grate on her nerves. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. A delightful novella with a light Christmas theme which makes it suitable to read in any season.

My thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book.
