The Lopsided Christmas Cake Book Review

I was at a library after taking my son to their library program when my son found a pile of adult Christmas books that were wrapped and they had a tag on the front of the book with if you liked these books, you will like this book.  With my son's help, I picked out one and checked it out.  Turned out that even though the title was private, my son realized that you could read it on the screen at checkout.  The first two books that I picked were books that I already read so we decided on a third one and I got this one, The Lopsided Christmas Cake by Wanda E. Brunstetter which I was excited to get to read before Christmas.

Join the Hochstetler twin sisters on stage as they bumble their way through baking a cake for a charity auction in front of a live audience. The take-charge Elma and the klutzy optimist Thelma manage to entertain their audience—and attract the admiration of two bachelors, an outspoken woodworker and a shy harness maker from a neighboring Amish community. As fall leads into the Christmas season, could romance be blossoming for one or more of the Hochstetler twins? Find out in this brand new romance from New York Times bestselling author Wanda E. Brunstetter, writing with her daughter-in-law Jean Brunstetter.

I really enjoyed this Christmas story about how the twin sisters make a cake to support charity and then have to present the cake on stage after making it.  If anything could go wrong, it did but the sisters had two people bidding on their cake in spite of the horrible presentation and the look of the cake.  Joesph was willing to fight to win the cake because he wanted to meet Thelma, one of the twins that made the cake.  The story is set in the new town that the twins move to after being named in their grandparents will to inherit the house and the store that their grandparents owned.  They are working very hard to make money with the store and repair the house to make both their future.  It is interesting to watch these identical and very different sisters go through their lives and all the trouble that they find just from being twins.  I was glad that my son made me pick some of the books out at this interesting Christmas wrapped mystery book section because I never would have found this book on my own and now I am looking for the second book in this series to find out what happens next.
