Of Smoke & Cinnamon: A Christmas Story Kindle Edition

Camilla Collins hasn't gone home in thirteen years. As much as she loves her family, their tiny hometown in the folds of the Colorado mountains holds too many memories. Memories of a life barely lived and a love barely realized. No matter how she thrives, AJ Jenkins is the man she compares all others too. He just so happens to be the one that broke her heart. Seeing him, seeing the life she might have had with him, has been a very convincing reason to celebrate the holidays in the Pacific Northwest, happy in the rain instead of the snow.

AJ Jenkins isn't exactly bitter and frigid. It's the below freezing temperatures, the knee deep snow, and the death of his chronically ill father dragging him down. That is until Cam Collins finally comes home for Christmas. After thirteen years, he'd almost given up on seeing her. And was incredibly happy about it. But thirteen is unlucky for a reason, and apparently that reason is still a klutzy, gorgeous, living memory determined to poke holes in his barely hanging on heart with death defying stilettos.

Ace Gray is a best selling author, self-proclaimed troublemaker and connoisseur of both the good life and fairy tales. After a life-long love affair with both books, she undertook writing the novel she wanted to read.

When she's not writing, she owns a taco truck in a ski town in Colorado even though she can't cook a lick (that's all her husband). She loves paddle boarding, snowboarding, camping, basically anything outside... and hosting dinner parties (though she's only in it for the drinks). Oh, and of course, writing more words.

Reviewed in Australia on 13 December 2017
This is a gorgeous festive season second chance romance that sucks you in and steals your heart and leaves you with the sweaty palm, heart racing euphoria of first love.
I love everything about Cam and AJ from their chosen careers, hobbies and passions to their all consuming, obsessive love that even though ended in heartbreak with a youthful misunderstanding has lingered for over a decade.
Their reunion like the town itself is breathtakingly beautiful and intoxicatingly steamy.
This book has me craving a white Christmas.
Thank you Ace Gray!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MUST READ second-chance romance with ALL the good vibes!
Reviewed in the United States on 17 December 2017

Of Smoke & Cinnamon showcases everything I love about romance novels. I get the small town, cozy goodness and a second chance with ‘the one’ that got away. The warm feeling of returning home for the holidays after years of staying away. I enjoyed all the positive vibes of spending time with family and friends, spreading cheer and joy during the best time of year. The tension of facing painful memories head-on when scorching chemistry is thick in the air. This is a fantastic example of a feel-good story that will embrace you in a perfect cuddle, especially during the cold winter months.

Camilla Collins has avoided going back to Willow Creek for thirteen years. There’s too many unresolved issues waiting for her there, mostly wrapped up around one man. AJ Jenkins has been waiting for an explanation from his high school sweetheart for over a decade but when she finally resurfaces, the hurt is suddenly too fresh to deal with. Reconciliation isn’t easy, especially when both sides still feel the burn.

The numerous underlying themes are my favorite here. Scene after scene offers something new to obsess about, from special recipes to re-creating moments from the past. The aspects and elements all piece together flawlessly.

There’s so much depth to this author’s writing style. She doesn’t use simple, easy descriptions to get her point across. Ace digs deeper, pushes boundaries harder, and pours more depth into the pages to give the reader an ultimate experience. Getting lost in this book was effortless and uplifting. It’s an emotional journey I’ll never forget and will desperately plead for more.

I absolutely loved this book. It's a second chance Christmas romance that will have you begging for more.
Ace has once again written a story that had me enthralled from start to finish, there was no way that I could have put t down even if I had tried. This story is beautifully written and told from both Cam and A.J.'s point of view. It paints the story of love lost and found, in the most scenic country and inspires the heart to believe that in taking the chance, there is a happy ending for everyone. This book gives me all the feels and will be one that I will go back to in the future as it is just the kind of book I could read and never get bored of.
I look forward to more of this story.
This is my honest and unbiased review.

Wasn't expecting this depth of sentiment from Gray, but darn if she didn't nail it. The angsty slow burn, the delicious sexual tension, and the eccentric but pivotal side characters - those I did expect and I wasn't disappointed.

If you're looking for the perfect holiday read, then this heartwarming love story is the book for you. Of Smoke & Cinnamon is a mesmerizing second chance romance that will give you all the feels. It has everything that I love about second chance romances yet so much more. Camilla and AJ's love story had me hooked from the first page to the last. Having read this author's darker and kinkier romances, I was very curious to read something more lighthearted and sweet. This author certainly didn't disappoint! This book has everything that I love about this author's romances. It was a brilliantly crafted love story with a perfect mixture of humor, romance and steaminess. Ace Gray's flawless writing and captivating storyline had me devouring page after page of this story! The undeniable chemistry and banter between Camilla and AJ made this story such an enjoyable read that I couldn't put down. Quite honestly, this story is perfect book to read this holiday season. I cannot recommend this delightful and sweet romance enough! Of Smoke & Cinnamon is a love story that will tug on your heartstrings and leave you begging for more.
