Christmas Joy (Sweet Christmas Series Book 4) Kindle Edition
Candice Parker married Gerald Ford on Christmas Eve two years ago following a massive blizzard. The year before that her family was left homeless when a fire burned their apartments to the ground. Fortunately, fireman Gary had been on call and led the team that rescued Lanelle and Dakota from the blaze.
Last year it all came to a head when Caroline joined their household as the nanny and housekeeper when she revealed the fire had been arson. Following the discovery, a sinister plot unfolded that almost killed them all.
To say Candy is dreading the arrival of this typically happy holiday would be an understatement.
However, she does have one thing going for her this year. Gary has convinced her to adopt rather than try for a baby of their own and a new addition will join their family just in time to change Candy’s view of Christmas forever.
Pushing through her self-doubts, Candy must embrace the desire within her to become Joylana’s mother and champion for life, but will she have the strength to be the mom she wants to be after all the hardships she and Daks have faced in the past?

About the author
Anyone who knows me could tell you, I am a friendly kind of person, never met a stranger and take up conversations any where at any time. I work hard, and my mind never seems to shut down, as I wake up often in the middle of the night with ideas pouring out and demanding to be dealt with. Of course that means much of my books were written in the middle of the night.
I grew up and still live in the great state of Texas where everything is bigger, where we have warm weather and a central location. I love my state, my town, and my family, which includes my four sons, my significant other, and many friends as well.
I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the books that are currently available and hope you will enjoy reading them just as much. And of course, there will be many more stories to come.

After enduring bad luck with their previous holidays, Candy and Gary are hoping for a more peaceful Christmas. This year they have a new addition to the family when they adopt a baby girl. As the couple and their family adjust to life with a new baby, Candy’s worries could prevent her from enjoying motherhood.
I’ve been a fan of Candy and Gary’s story since the first book. It was nice for once having their Christmas go rather peaceful. Yet, there was some drama thrown in with Candy’s insecurities and judgment from people about their baby.
But they manage to weather the storm, and Candy’s mother gives her an important lesson about living in the moment.
This was another sweet, touching story and I’m looking forward to more adventures of Candy and Gary’s family.
Adoption and living others who are different are a wonderful theme. A nice, easy, fast sweet read.
It is told from 2 points of view - Candy and Gary.
Candy is still a bit insecure around Gary’s affluent family and uses her studies to limit visitation. In this book she has a lot of emotions over something new that comes into her life. Never been in her shoes, I can empathize with her. She shows strength while dealing with a sensitive issue. She is a perfectionist with most things. I found myself rooting for her as the story unfolded. She really wants a good Christmas this year as the past three have had unwanted drama. This year she opens her heart.
The family dynamics are interesting. They go deep, and I could clearly see the love between Candy and her son, Daks. Gary too had a strong fatherly demeanor.
Gary is his sweet gentle self. He is really good at calming his wife when she is feeling emotional. He doesn't care what others think of him; he is his own person and goes out of his way to help others. He has a heart of gold and is very family oriented. I loved his strength in during the heart of an issue.
There is a sensitive subject in the story which caused discomfort for me. Be advised. You will see as you read along.
It is a cozy read that you can enjoy sitting in front of your fire place. I read it in about 3 hours, so it is perfect for that snowy day. The pace is moderate. Although this is a stand-alone story, I would recommend reading the first three as they make references to events in them. I know you are going to love this read as much as I did.

Holly McClain did a fantastic job bringing the story to life.
I hope there is another story this year.
I recieved a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.
