Do you enjoy a good holiday story? I do. Even when the holidays are over the is something sweet about reading a story that takes place during the holiday season.
Book Description
Wynn Beauchene has a thriving business, a great kid, and a mildly embarrassing crush on the guy next door—local cop Garrick McCabe. She’s a strong, independent woman who can’t help dreaming what-if about a man she barely knows. Until he needs her help…
Garrick’s pregnant daughter will be home for Christmas, and his house needs a woman’s touch. Garrick and his little girl were tight once and he’s hoping a small-town Christmas will bring her back to him. But thawing his daughter’s frosty attitude will take more than a few twinkle lights. Maybe sharing the holiday with Wynn and her son will remind her of the joy of family.
As the season works its magic on these wounded souls, Wynn realizes it’s time to stop punishing herself for a painful secret, while Garrick remains haunted by the ghosts of past mistakes. Will he allow Wynn to open the only gift she truly wants—his heart?

My Thoughts
Susan Mallery is a new author to me. When I agreed to read this book I did not realize it was the 6th in a series. Even though it was ok on its own I would have loved to have read the series from the beginning as some characters do overlap it seemed like.
That said I loved that this book is set in a town that is a wedding destination and it had a holiday theme. There is something magical about a holiday story.
I loved the characters of Wynn and Garrick. It was nice seeing two single parents bond. It was fun watching Wynn try to find ways to say HI to Garrick the policeman she has a crush on.
I enjoyed seeing these two characters grow close and heal each other.
I admit Garrick's daughter made me want to put her in time out with her whining but I soon got over that. Wynn's son I liked he reminded me a bit of my son by how responsible he was at 14.
Overall a lovely read and one I enjoy reading again but this time in the proper order.
