Dear Santa,I do not want Keller James for Christmas. I will not fall for him, no matter how charming or irresistible or famous he is. I will not be swayed by his skills in the kitchen or by his British accent. I’m going to win the Great Gingerbread Bake Off and no one is going to stand in my way. Not even Keller. All kisses are off. I mean all bets. All bets are off. And all his clothes. Grr, … And all his clothes.
Grr, never mind. I’ll figure this out myself.
XOXO,
Ginger Winter
Warning:
Reindeer Falls is more naughty than nice. They’re over-the-top Christmas with merrily-ever-afters guaranteed. These stories are novella length for quick holiday binging. Enjoy!

Jana had me at the title. Who could resist two people falling in love over gingerbread in a Food Network competition? Out of all three books, I found this one the most enjoyable, as well as delicious! Just make sure you eat before you read it. You’re bound to be starving afterward!
Hands down, the cutest book of the three! Keller and Ginger are just too yummy not to love! While they are competing in a Christmas baking competition against each other, the sparks are flying between them. Cute, funny and sexy, Keller and Ginger had me smiling from ear to ear!
Ginger Snap Winter is a contestant on The Great Gingerbread Bake-Off. She instantly is attracted to another contestant Keller James, host of Brunch, Biscuits, & Tea. She tells him her dream of opening a bakery and he helps make it happen.
As a huge fan of The Great British Bake Off I had to read this book and it did not disappoint. This was a quick and beautifully written Christmas romance. I loved Ginger and Keller. They were so perfect for each other. Ginger was great. I loved her holiday and vintage style, her hilarious choice in curse words, and how had some self-confidence issues with relationships. I really connected with her. Keller really embraces the magic of the season and his chance at love. He was confident and wasn’t afraid to take a huge leap of faith for their relationship.
I enjoyed this so much I will be reading the next book to see what happens to Noel and her santa.
Fun holiday novella! The chemistry was there from the beginning with visions of naked British gingerbread makers and reindeer PJ wearing gingers. Amusing to say the least. It moved quickly but was entertaining in its entirety.
This is the second book of Jana Aston Christmas series about 3 sisters. This is Ginger Spice Winter’s story. Ginger is all about baking. She is taking part in The Great Gingerbread Bake-Off. She meets Keller James star of his own Foodnetwork show when he asks to meet her so he can compliment her cookies. She is a fan of his show and has a bit of a crush on him. She finds out he is her competition in the bake-off. Instead of treating like the competition she finds her attraction to him growing. The attraction is mutual and they are great together with there love of cooking in common. I loved the way there romance progressed and the humorous things that come out of Ginger’s mouth.
This book. Utterly adorable. Seriously. I am so in love with these two. Even though it’s a novella, Jana Aston packs quite the punch in If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread.
Not only have I been enchanted by the town of Reindeer Falls, but Aston managed to capture the essence of the holidays in this book. The magic that happens when December comes.
Words really cannot express how much I adored this book. The banter between Ginger and Keller is funny and full of sexual tension. And speaking of Keller, what a dreamboat of a man!!
“I’m fairly certain that the only thing I’d enjoy more than bantering with you is kissing you.”
Gahhhh, my heart! I want to push Ginger aside and steal him for myself.
If you are looking for a quick, fun, Christmas read, I highly recommend this book.
5 Sweet Ginger Stars
Warning! Don’t read this on an empty stomach as you will be ravenous for anything with ginger in it! Reindeer Falls is heating up with book 2 in Jana Aston’s series. A baker named Ginger Spice and a celebrity chef Keller James. They compete against each other in the Great Gingerbread Bake off while secretly lusting after each other. The description of the food they prepare made me so hungry. Ginger and Keller’s romance was sweet and swift but oh so good. Next up The One Night Stand Before Christmas!
A lovely, hilarious story about love at first sight. Believing in the magic of Christmas, gingerbread for everyone and sweet stolen glances increasing into sexual tension. And gingerbread backing contest you could almost smell through the pages.
I loved every second of this second installment in the Reindeerfalls series. Especially the author’s sarcastic remarks, curse words turned into child-friendly ones and such funny vocabulary. It was written in typical Jana Aston’s style.
If you like her writing you definitely won’t be disappointed.
Ginger and Keller’s story is so fun and sexy hot. Ginger is an adorable heroine but sexy too and Keller was just plain hot. He’s also a chef and who doesn’t love a celebrity chef. And The Great Gingerbread Bake Off totally made me hungry. Actually this whole story has me craving all kinds of sweets.
This second novella in the Reindeer Falls series was perfection. Keller enters the scene like a hurricane and never leaves. He’s a famous baker in town for a gig. Ginger is a sweet, small-town girl with dreams of opening her own bakery. They’re rivals, both vying to win a baking competition, and their connection is yummy perfection. This book gives just the right amount of swoons and sighs. I loooooved what Keller does for Ginger at the end.
Oh my goodness! This series is so sweet!! Ginger and Keller are such a cute couple. Ginger is a small town baker who has entered a baking contest. She hopes to win and use the prize money to help start her own bakery. Keller is a TV famous baker. Ginger mistakenly thinks Keller is there to judge, not participate in the contest. Keller thinks Ginger is adorable. Sweet, hilarious and hot. Highly recommend!!
The second novella in this series and this features the youngest sister of the three, Ginger Winter, who is completely different to her sister Holly, she is quirky and cute, working hard to achieve her dreams of owning her own bakery shop in Reindeer Falls.
Her heart is set on winning The Great Gingerbread Bake Off, except her celebrity crush Keller James, a British chef who has his own TV show, seems to be in town also, for what she thought was to be judging the competition, but turns out he is in it also. She’s determined not to let his accent or flirty little moves put her off, she’s on a mission…..
Funny, flirty and sweet, I loved the chemistry between these two and Ginger was just adorable in her quest to resist Keller, whilst trying to ravish him at the same time… loved it! This will leave you with a smile on your face at the feel good factor, the setting of Reindeer Falls is wonderful and is very much like a Hallmark movie, leaves me wishing I could pay it a Christmassy visit. Looking forward to meeting the last sister in these novellas.
A mouthwateringly delicious confection of holiday romance!
I wanted gingerbread or gingersnaps or cheesecake by the time I finished this book! Not only can Jana give us hot, hot, hot chemistry between the hero and heroine, but she also knows the right buttons to push talking about all those delicious sounding treats!!
And can I have a Keller show up to make me breakfast, please?
Ginger is the sweet sister. She is absolutely adorable. She can’t even not be adorable. But luckily for her, her TV celebrity crush finds her adorableness so very sexy! She may have been sent to fantasyland when Keller showed up in her kitchen praising her cookies, but he was just as smitten with her.
She can’t believe her luck. What are the chances? Especially once she realizes he’s competing against her, not judging the gingerbread bake-off. She certainly doesn’t expect him to spend his time wooing her.
I love Reindeer Falls. And these three Winters sisters? I love them! I can’t wait to read the final book!! Ginger and Keller’s sweet, spicy story was so satisfying!
I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Ginger’s dream is to win the Great Gingerbread Bake Off and open her own shop. She won’t allow anyone to stand in her way, not even the famous Keller James, with his irresistible British accent and unparalleled skills in the kithen. But Keller is determined to win her and he is not a man to be denied! Romantic and entertaining, Ginger and Keller’s story is delicious like freshly baked gingerbread! If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread is the perfect treat for Christmas!

I am absolutely loving the Reindeer Falls series by Jana Aston. In the second installment, If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread, we get Ginger and Keller’s story and I loved it! Ginger has been dreaming of opening her own bakery in Reindeer Falls for years. Now is her big chance, with the reality show the Great Gingerbread Bake Off happening in her own hometown. But she never expected Keller, a chef with his own reality show, to distract her to no end.
I loved the chemistry between Keller and Holly. It was instant and undeniable. I loved Holly. She was sweet and adorable. Keller was charming, sexy and caring. They fall quickly and it all the best ways possible, but what will happen once the bake-off is over and he leaves? If You Give A Jerk A Gingerbread was yet again, a perfect holiday read! Sweet, charming and everything nice!

Happy Reading!
What a fun, easy Christmas read. Jana Aston puts her own spin on reality tv with this story. Keller and Ginger have chemistry from the beginning and their relationship just gets sweeter as the story goes. This book can be read as a complete standalone although it is book two in the series.
This series is just so freaking adorably sweet!! Keller is simply charming, he can charm the pants off of anyone with that smile and British accent.
And really the guy was head over heels for Ginger!! What more can you ask.
A Sweet, funny, short read perfect to get your Christmas spirit going #BelieveInTheMagic
If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread by Jana Aston
Ginger is a baker who is competing to win the Great Gingerbread Bake-Off with the grand prize of $10K that’ll go towards her setting up her own bakery. However, the ever so famous British chef, Keller is also competing for the same although he does seem to spend much of his time flirting.
This book was just way too cute for words!!!!! Ginger was adorable (she won’t argue with the description) and Keller was just delectable. The chemistry between them was there from the first meeting and grew with each time they crossed paths. It was all very sweet and flirty and perfect for the season. My only gripe with this book is that it made me soooooooo hungry! All I have is gingerbread on the brain! For her sins, I think the author should give us a book of Ginger and Keller’s recipes. This is a fantastic addition to Reindeer Falls and I wish this series would never end! Having said that, I need to know what shenanigans Noel was getting up to with Saint Nick! Another engaging and wonderful read from Jana Aston!
*I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Audio review from January 2020
I adored this story! You could feel the chemistry right off the bat! The flirty banter was perfection!
Their instant connection but shy uncertainty of how to approach a romance was adorable!
The competition show aspect was perfect for their falling in love! This could have easily (from a readers POV) been turned into a full Christmas novel!
I love the sisters witty banter too! So fun!
