A warm pie. A tasty guy. Happy Thanksgiving indeed.
Lauren Hauser is home for the holidays, and she’s been given a challenge: preparing her grandmother’s pecan pie. The problem? Lauren’s not famed for her baking skills. In fact, while her sister would win Star Baker every week, and her mom at least knows a sieve from a spatula, Lauren’s bakes have always been more dangerous than delicious!
Still, no Thanksgiving would be complete without dessert…which is why Lauren finds herself searching for pecans on Thanksgiving Eve. Stumbling into a gorgeous stranger laden down with bags of pecans seems like a holiday miracle…but despite Jack’s kissable lips he’s frostier than a snow cone…and out of sight before she can say ‘Macy’s Parade’!
As the clock counts down to Thanksgiving dinner, Lauren is running out of time. And without her grandmother’s perfect pecan pie it won’t be a very Happy Thanksgiving! What Lauren needs is a knight in shining armour. And it might just be that the magic of Thanksgiving will find her one after all…

Summary
How to Bake the Perfect Pecan Pie by Gina Henning This story is told from Lauren Hauser’s point of view. I found it humorous and a quick read. Lauren comes home for Thanksgiving to find that her grandmother has chosen her to make the pecan pie. The most important part of their Thanksgiving. And it’s already Thanksgiving Eve. And...well, her sister Megan would have been the better choice. Between a pecan hoarder, her brother-in-law who “fixes” everything in her parents home, a sister-in-law...well you’ll have to read the book to find the best words to describe her. She loves her crazy family...and it may be easier to do since she lives plenty far away from them. It ends not quite at a cliffhanger, but your toes aren’t far from the edge. Looking forward to more. **Received through NetGalley for honest review http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2011/12/anthologys-by-harlequin-carina-press.html
