This is book two of The Bayberry, Vermont series and the main characters are Carrie Byers who has lived in town all of her life, and Jackson Wright, her childhood friend and neighbour, who left after school to pursue big city life and work. Carrie had always dreamed of having her own business and is about to open her own shop, Totally Chocolate, but had hoped to be involved in the Bayberry Happy Hearts celebration taking place for Valentine’s Day, but that is controlled by her high school nemesis. Jackson has had to return home to help sort out his mother’s life, after she lied to him for years and ended up gambling pretty much everything away, including family heirlooms he was supposed to have inherited eventually. He has been working in the London office of a security software firm, having worked up to being the vice president. He had taken long delayed holiday time to sort out his mother’s affairs, but his work seem to ignore that fact and are one the phone or emailing him at all hours. He needs to finish clearing his mother’s large house and also sell a business property in town, to allow his mum to buy a smaller place in town and have money to live on. Then he expects to return to his life in London. But meeting Carrie again by accident, on her opening day, when his noisy renovations in the shop next to her, cause too much noise and stuff to fall off her walls, has him thrown for six. He had wanted to quickly sell the building, but no one is interested in the shop next to Carrie’s as it used to be a fifties diner and has been left in a rundown and unusable condition for far too long. He had no idea that his need to help his mother, would possibly ruin her new business and leave her dreams smashed to pieces. He likes how Carrie has turned out, but there seems to be no point starting a relationship is he is leaving in just a few weeks! He has promised to keep his mother’s gambling addiction secret, but only if she got treatment for her addiction. Loads of people in town have noticed his mother’s absence, coming up with various explanations.
Carrie’s grandmother was the one to believe in her and help her with the finances to open her shop and she wants to pay her back. Her close friends Abby, Kate and Sadie have also supported her and turn up for her opening day, sending along lots of others to support her shop. They turn up at the end of her first day to take her out for a celebratory dinner and talk turns to Jackson and her previous feelings for him. He had ended up trying to kiss her at the end of their prom in high school, catching her completely off guard and she turned her head, so he got her cheek. She hadn’t wanted to lose her best friend and tried to ignore his actions, which just made things uncomfortable between them and hurt him badly. Their friendship had never been the same after the attempted kiss as teens and distance soon made it fall away. He comes to realise that he has always compared anyone he dated since with her and that she is the only one he could love. He had been filling his life with his work, but he definitely wants a family in his near future. He soon has to meet with Brittany Scott, his mother’s real estate agent, but also the one who has carried her high school anger into refusing those she hated back then, into the coming celebration held in town. He manages to get Carrie back on the list, but this pressures her to come up with a special menu for the night, on top of all the special items she had made for her opening day. Brittany is part of the town’s council and has her eye on Jackson, as she had in school and Jackson had to return the favour by using her when he sells the building. He wants to persuade his mother to come back to London with him, so she will be in different surroundings and away from temptation. But he doesn’t realise just how much she loves her town and relies on all her friends and those she knows there. Even Jackson’s old friend Mark, can easily see that he still loves Carrie and pushes him to ask her out, before he regrets not trying. It looks like Jackson will have to do something quite different to get Carrie to see him as something other than a friend and so begins a wonderful and well thought out Valentine’s week of gifts and surprises.
A lovely tale of long-lost friends and dreams for the future. The strain of best friends putting a different spin on their relationship and bringing in romance to the mix, leaves worries about whether anything will ever be the same. Is it better to stay as best friends, or risk losing that for a romance that could fail? Jackson has to decide if his workload is really what he wants in his life or if love is worth risking it all for. Loved the fact Carrie finds it so hard to figure out who her Valentine could actually be!

Here’s all you need to know about this story: 1. Chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate! 2. Truly special hometown and hometown characters – and some of them are characters! 3. Tons of heart. Add in it is set around Valentine’s Day? What a wonderful read.
Carrie Byers and Jackson Wright are old friends, from when they were kids. Best friends, even. But when Jackson makes a teenage misjudgment, and tries to show Carrie he feels much more... She gets scared and doesn’t want to ruin her friendship with him. They go their separate ways but...did they really?
This is their story, of Jackson coming back to town after a long absence, with family problems that are so hard to handle, emotionally. But reading how these two rekindle their friendship is wonderful and warm and sweet and caring. And did I mention chocolates? VERY important to Carrie! Loved their story. It is a fun, stitch a broken heart, HEA, loving read. I enjoyed.

‘Valentine's in Bayberry’ was sweet. In addition, the heartfelt plot was filled with a specialty shop owner trying to make a favorable impression on the townspeople, a best friend’s return to town, having a mom with a gambling addiction, renovating an old restaurant, navigating around the town’s gossip, participating in the town’s Happy Hearts celebration, being there for a friend, a secret valentine, coping with a vindictive female, a revelation, a grandmother’s help, love, and a major surprise.
I liked the author’s writing style: engaging and believable characters, an adorable small-town winter setting, a mesmerizing storyline, and vivid descriptions including imagery, figurative language, dramatic irony, humor, and down-to-earth word choices that created an upbeat tone, such as “The grapevine in Bayberry was faster than a flying snowball.” Overall, I liked the captivating narrative.

They each do some growing while trying to decide if the other was right with their decision to pursue their dreams, her staying and him leaving . It was a very sweet story and would read this author again.

This was a fun book to read. I liked that it was a sweet romance set around Valentine's day. Carrie and Jackson used to be best friends until he went off to college and Carrie stayed in Bayberry dreaming of owning her own shop.
It is many years later and Jackson has returned to the small town to help his mom. I could not wait to see what might happen between these best friends and I was not disappointed. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

This book is a cute romance set in the small town of Bayberry where everyone knows everyone and helps everyone. Not to mention the interference, though positive.
Carrie and Jackson have been neighbours and best friends since they were kids, but are unable to express their love for each other, because they do not want to risk their friendship.
Loved the efforts made by Jackson to winn Carrie.
Looking forward to reading more books from the series.

This was a very sweet and charming story about lifelong friends, who become more. This a clean romance, that is an easy read. I would compare this to a Hallmark movie in the type of writing and story that is told. Very well written that flows smoothly and isn't too slow or drags. Some angst and drama, but of course an HEA.

Carrie and Jackson were neighbours and best friends growing up. That was until Jackson moved away to chase his career dreams.
Now, years later, Carrie has just opened her very own chocolate shop and Jackson is back in town to help his mother. Can they rekindle their friendship or maybe become more?
This is a lovely light hearted romance ending in a happy ever after. It only lost a star because it doesn't have any twists or surprises.

This is book 2 in the Bayberry Vermont Series. It can be read as a standalone, but I enjoyed it more having read the first one that tells more about the town itself. It was so good! Jennifer Faye never disappoints with a good story, with perfect characters and settings. I want to visit Bayberry!!!!
I loved the small town feel where everyone helps each other. The characters would make wonderful friends!

Valentine’s in Bayberry is a stand alone, small town romance.
Carrie and Jackson were once childhood friends and neighbours. Now fate has brought them back together but will Jackson doing the right thing for his family mean doing wrong by Carrie?
Charming story with good characters and an easy to read storyline. This is a nice story with no real surprises and a hea. I definitely recommend this to all Hallmark fans.

Like a small town setting for the story. The characters are interesting and have attributes that make each one different but they can't help but be attracted to each other. Like stories when the characters fight that attraction but you can still feel it in the words. Love the chocolate shop idea especially around Valentine's. And we all know the holidays at an unexpected twist. Good read.

This was a very good story. Although the two lead characters did aggravate my stress level to the point I had to take a couple of breaks before I got to the finale. Can I blame my stress level on the weather? Happy Reading ! !

This story ends with a HEA for the main couple but also a cliffhanger. Best friends for years grew apart when his life took him away from their hometown. He has wanted more but she's scared. Now he's back unexpectedly. Will he be staying or returning to his life abroad? How does she react to his reappearance? I can't wait for the next book to get the answers to the cliffhanger.

What a heartwarming, small town, friends to more love story. There is something magical about Bayberry. This book had me at chocolate! The characters were real and so great together and really pulled my heartstrings. A wonderful Valentine's themed romance with lots of emotion. I am loving this series! The book covers are so pretty, eye catching and as cute as the stories inside.
