Pugs & Peppermint Sticks is the fourth book in the Lantern Lake series and is a sweet holiday romance. The characters are well developed and charming. The storyline is well written and flows nicely, with humour, drama, and an enemies-to-lovers sweet romance.
I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.
I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
This is such a Sweet story!
The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world that was created.
The descriptions of the characters and their feelings are so involved, you can truly picture it in your mind. Their attitudes toward the events that are happening makes the story even richer.

A very well-written book 4 in the Lantern Lake Series. This drama filled story has stress, chemistry and humorous Christmas. The characters need to figure out what they really want or they will lose out. Good Read

Jillian and Elliott rubbed each other wrong way in their first meeting, but they share matchmaking grandmothers and a love of Pugs. I loved their two rescue Pugs and her creativity with the gingerbread house, which like their relationship had it’s share of mishaps. I was frustrated that he was so quick to temper and took out his stress on Jillian. This was a clean novella with plenty of humor and romance.
Enemies to lovers’ holiday read with an adorable small-town life, well-characterized h, and H. Sweet romance read with a funny storyline.

Pugs & Peppermint Sticks by Gretchen S.B. I enjoyed this holiday love story. It was very sweet, and I found the characters to be charming and small town. It was a feel-good story with just enough drama to sit down and relax with during the holidays. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Nice easy to read story with small town background and reality. Two determined grandmas plus their single adult grandkids. Lots of stress and one short deadline. It all creates one relaxing story to read within long winter evening.
Enjoy
