Publisher's summary

Life isn’t always sweet, even for girls called Candy.

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 Lanell 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?

Great book!

I love that the book keeps your attention. It flows well from one scene to the next, and keeps you engrossed for what is to come. Excited to start the next book… :-)

My favorite of the series. Candy seems to have pretty much grown up, not so much the world revolving around her & her feelings alone. It was fun to experience a new baby at Christmas through this story.

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.

Cute Christmas Romance Series

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I was so happy with this one. Im glad Candy and Gary decided to adopt. The story and characters are growing and developing so much. I just love them. The new narrator was good. I enjoyed her.

Great Read

Christmas Joy: Sweet Christmas, Book Four was a great read by Samantha Jacobey. Christmas has been a hard time for Candice and Gary, bad things always seem to happen to them at Christmas time. Candy now dreads Christmas becuause she doesn't know what bad thing will happen next. They are looking to expand their family and Gary has finally convinced Candy to adopt a child. Candy faces self-doubt in becoming Joylana's mother. I really enjoyed this story and can't wait to read more by Samantha Jacobey.
