"Fruitcake Fallout " by Paula Moldenhauer

Family legend says that the Preston fruitcake recipe makes young couples fall in love. But when Evelyn Preston, a WAC serving her country during World War II, sends one to her high school crush stationed overseas, she snags the wrong private! Willie Baxter is a one-woman-man, and it is clear from the kind, friendly letters Evelyn sends that she is exactly what he’s looking for. The problem is she thinks she’s corresponding with someone else! When he tries to clear up the unintentional deception, will Evie give his poor smitten heart a chance?

Fruitcake Fallout is the third novella in the Tinseled Tidings Collection. For more holiday fun check out the first two books, You're a Charmer, Mr. Grinch and The Joy Scrooge.










My Review:
 "Fruitcake Fallout" is the third novella in the Tinseled Tidings Collection. And, as the title suggestions it is about fruitcake and romance.  This story in the series is a bit more serious than the other two. 

I really have to say it but there is one character in this tale that needs to have a change of attitude. I am glad for Evie, that this character had a friend.

I think "Fruitcake Fallout"  is my favorite of the three. I really enjoyed the history, ww11, The Battle of The Bulge,  that was part of this story also.  

"Fruitcake Fallout"  is a perfect story to tie all three stories together. 

I was given a complimentary copy by the author. These opinions are my own.
