Small town romance at its best. Following the death of her parents, Madison Willis moved back to Mistletoe, Colorado, to help run the successful bakery her family co-owned with longtime friends Millie and Mike Andrews. The recipe for the bakery’s success had always been a mixture of community and tradition, with a heaping scoop of love thrown in. When the simple way of life in Mistletoe is threatened by big city developers, Madison rolls up her sleeves to protect the bakery and her idyllic childhood town. As if she didn’t have enough on her plate fighting developers, she faces another foe in Hunter Andrews, the dreamy boy she crushed on as a youngster. He’s game to sell. She’s determined to stay. Can an old-fashioned Christmas change his mind? Hot shot lawyer Hunter Andrews breezes into Mistletoe hoping to take his mother back to Denver and leave behind small-town life. He’s certain she’ll be happier at the retirement home he picked out, where she would be waited on hand and foot, rather than getting up at four a.m. to bake bread. The last thing he expects is to find Madison Willis all grown up and beautiful…and ready for battle. When the bakery’s treasured recipe book goes missing, Hunter has to decide if he’ll use his skills to fight for what he wants or for what’s right. Pitted against each other, Madison and Hunter face a bigger foe—gentrification. If they can’t work together, they will lose everything. Will they fight side-by-side to save the town? Will a kiss under the mistletoe be all they need to fall in love? Find out in Memories & Mistletoe…

This was a fun read where Madison has settled in to working at her parents and their best friends bakery where it is just her and Millie left after her parents past away and Millie's husband has also. Hunter Millie's sun who is a hot shot lawyer in the city decides it's time for Millie to sell the bakery whether she or Madison who is now half owner which Hunter seems to forget time and time again as there is big money involved in selling now. Hunter is definitely the outsider to begin with much like the smarmy Marvin who is trying to get the sale, however unlike Marvin Hunter slowly gets wrapped up in the town and close knit feel for it which he use to want to get away from as well as starts to really notice Madison. You get loads of laughs, townsfolk you will love as well as not, a sweet romance as well as a theft of something precious and a big dollop of Christmas cheer while you see how small towns come together and love can be a rocky road but well worth it.
