Joy Benson is determined to live her life as a working artist. She teaches art classes and has her eye on a small store on main street so she can start to sell her art and teach more classes. When Granger Fields approaches her to be a new nanny for his young girls, Joy tries to politely decline, but maybe she does not have to be a nanny, perhaps she could be their art teacher?
Granger Fields is a single dad working at his families struggling tree farm. Last year they suffered a tragic fire, so he is working tirelessly to rebuild their business. When his elderly nanny retires suddenly, he is left in a pinch at his busiest season. Maybe the sweet Joy who teaches art lessons at the library would be able to fill the spot just until he finds someone?
Joy and Granger become friends and she quickly falls in love with his sweet young daughters. When Joy offers to help Granger with an idea to save his farm, they become closer and start to wonder if they could be a family. That is until someone shows up in town to make this Christmas the best or perhaps the worst for everyone.
This was such a sweet story. I loved all the characters and it was the perfect book to curl up with on a chilly fall night. Annie Rains is a new author for me, but I will be looking for her other books. I did read this as a stand alone novel but would love to go back and read the rest of the series. Ms. Rains does an excellent job though of focusing on the main characters, so you could read this as a stand alone. Thank you so much to the author Annie Rains, Forever, Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
