Thank you so much to GP Putnam’s Sons for gifting me a review copy of The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox. This was such a sweet holiday romance with a fun twin-swap angle. Plus, I’m all about baking shows lately, so the fact that this takes place both on a baking show and in a small-town bakery was just magic.

Charlie Goodwin is a chef and judge on a popular baking show—but when an accident at work leaves her with a concussion and no sense of taste or smell she begs her twin sister to take her place and finish filming the holiday special. Luckily for Charlie her twin not only shares her likeness but is also a baker. Cass runs their family’s bakery back in their little mountain hometown.

It turns out that experiencing a new life for a few days is exactly what they both needed to get some perspective, learn a little more about themselves as well as each other, and to find a couple of hot new love interests!

Synopsis:

A feel-good, holiday-themed romantic comedy about identical twins who switch lives in the days leading up to Christmas--perfect for fans of Christina Lauren's In a Holidaze and Josie Silver's One Day in December.

All they want for Christmas is a different life.

When chef Charlie Goodwin gets hit on the head on the L.A. set of her reality baking show, she loses a lot more than consciousness; she also loses her ability to taste and smell--both critical to her success as show judge. Meanwhile, Charlie's identical twin, Cass, is frantically trying to hold her own life together back in their quaint mountain hometown while running the family's bustling bakery and dealing with her ex, who won't get the memo that they're over.

With only days until Christmas, a desperate Charlie asks Cass to do something they haven't done since they were kids: switch places. Looking for her own escape from reality, Cass agrees. But temporarily trading lives proves more complicated than they imagined, especially when rugged firefighter Jake Greenman and gorgeous physician's assistant Miguel Rodriguez are thrown into the mix. Will the twins' identity swap be a recipe for disaster, or does it have all the right ingredients for getting their lives back on track?
