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?

Summary
Happily this Christmas by Susan Mallery takes us back to Happily Inc. I love this series so much. Admittedly Wynn was not my favorite character and even in this book she is still not my favorite.
Wynn has a crush on the cop next door, Garrick. She helps him as his married pregnant daughter, Joylyn, comes to stay with him for a few weeks. I enjoyed their shopping scenes and there was some good dialogue there. Garrick was a good character and was trying to do the right thing. He appeared human when dealing with the craziness in his life.
Hunter, Wynn’s 15 year old son was my favorite character. Which may be why I thought Wynn totally overreacted on him which made me continue to not like her as much. Hunter was a wonderful teenager and had great scenes with both Garrick and Joylyn.
There were several scenes with characters from other books in the series. If you havent read the series you may think they are not needed but for those of us who have enjoyed the entire series it was like visiting old friends. I love that both the men and women have good friendships that they cultivate.
Sexual content – 4 talk/thinking of sex, one detailed scene

Alcohol – some drinking by adults and irresponsible college age kids
