SYNOPSIS:
Joy
I’m living my dream. Owning a cozy little bakery in downtown Snowflake Falls is everything I ever wanted. Even though the holidays are a hectic time of year, there’s nothing better than the feel of Christmas mixed with a bit of sugar.
When an unexpected visitor drops by to say hello, my entire world shifts on its axis. Burk Whitman was my best friend until, right before our first year of high school, he unexpectedly moved away. Now, he’s back in town and being around him isn’t exactly a hardship. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
The problem is, his time here is temporary and if I’m not careful, I risk losing my heart forever.
Burk
One phone call is all it takes for me to come back to Snowflake Falls. With my gramps in the hospital, a huge void is left at my family’s Christmas tree farm during their busiest time of year. Being here after fourteen years might be just what the doctor ordered.
When I hear my oldest friend, Joy Campbell, owns the bakery in town, I have to drop by to say hello. I’m ready to fall back into the familiar banter we once engaged in, but what I’m not expecting is to come face-to-face with the most beautiful woman in the world. Spending time with her isn’t a hardship, and soon, lines begin to blur.
How will I return to the East Coast when everything I didn’t realize I wanted is right where I left it in Snowflake Falls?

REVIEW:
A sweet and nostalgic holiday romance, Lacey Black’s Merry Little Sugar Rush perfectly captured all the magic of second chances and small-town Christmas charm. When Burk returned to his hometown for the first time in years to help on his grandfather’s Christmas tree farm, he was surprised to find that Joy, the childhood best friend he left behind, owned the town’s bakery. Their hesitant reunion was filled with warmth and unresolved history, but what truly shined was the surprisingly magnetic chemistry that ignited between them.
Black masterfully built their slow-burn romance with tender moments, festive scenes and a cozy, small-town setting that made every page feel like a holiday hug. As Burk and Joy rediscovered each other, their journey from friends to something more was heartfelt, hopeful and simmering with romantic tension. Told in Black’s engaging and heartfelt storytelling style, this friends-to-lovers tale was a feel-good holiday escape that celebrates coming home, healing old wounds and finding love in the most familiar—and sweetest—of places. Five smooches from me for Merry Little Sugar Rush by Lacey Black!
