There’s no place like Happily Inc for the holidays…

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?


Don’t miss Home Sweet Christmas, a witty and heartfelt story of two friends who unexpectedly find the person-and the place in which-they belong this Christmas by #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery!

Ratings and reviews

This was such a good read and really it delivered everything you could want in a holiday themed book. Wynn and Garrick's tale is about mistakes, regrets, forgiveness and familial and romantic love. There was lot of genuineness and a high level of relatability about this book. I thought that this made it very easy to connect with and sympathize with the characters. Very enjoyable. I am choosing to post a candid review.

A 3.5 stars story Happily Inc is a small town in California that reinvented itself by becoming a wedding destination. Now it’s Christmas time, a time for renewal and celebrations. This time the story belongs to Wynn Beauchene and Garrick McCabe. Wynn is a single Mom and neighbor of Garrick, the local cop. She has a secret crush on him, but it isn’t until he needs her help with his young estranged pregnant daughter that relationships of sorts develop with his daughter and between them. But the road to good relationships and happiness is a tad rocky. Will the magic of Happily Inc, the town people and the Christmas spirit heal and bring them all happiness? Though this series nor this story is my favorite written by this author, though not memorable, it was still a sweet romance, perfect for an afternoon of leisure. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Harlequin. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Mallery delivers readers a great Christmas in Happily, Inc. It is always nice to visit Happily, Inc. and this trip is no different. The characters are engaging and the story is worth the read. I highly recommend this book to fans of the women's fiction genre.
