About this listen
Being a single mom of four kids has never bothered me. However, after getting married to their dad at a young age, I quickly learned that I was better off taking care of things myself. As long as they were happy, that was all that mattered.
But when a new man showed up in town, I suddenly started second-guessing everything. Being around him created feelings that I hadn’t felt in— ever? The way he looked at me and talked to me was different than anyone I had met before, and I was quickly under his spell.
Aside from the fact that he didn’t live there, I quickly found that he had more baggage than I did, as well as some secrets he was determined to keep hidden. Maybe happily ever afters were better left for fairy tales.

Story
Being a single mom was hard, but celebrating our first Christmas without my girl’s father, in the Christmas-obsessed town of Sugarplum Falls, was even harder. I knew they needed me to be there with them, but I was sinking quickly, barely keeping my head above water. That was, until a handsome man came into the salon I worked at, needing my help.

Story
I had one job. One responsibility. Lust wasn't a distraction that I had time for, and love was even further off the table. My career was demanding and required my undivided attention which left little time for romance. But when my sister went missing after meeting a guy from the same dating app as the beautiful way too young for me college student that I had been assigned to protect, everything changed.

Story
I wasn't dreaming of a white Christmas, nor were my troubles out of sight. I had a demanding job and pressing deadlines, which meant it was far from being a silent night. When I asked my grandma if I could stay in her cabin over the holiday, she was more than thrilled to have me back home. But she failed to mention the sexy handyman remodeling the house, or that he might not make it down the mountain with the snowstorm moving in.

Story
When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing. I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful. But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

When my boyfriend asked me to go on a weekend getaway to his family’s cabin, I pictured evenings cuddled on the couch by the fireplace and candlelit dinners. Time for us to reconnect, and if I was picking up on all of his mixed signals, maybe he was going to propose.

Story
All I needed was a date. One measly date to go with me to my company’s Christmas party to show my ex—and current boss—that I was over him and had moved on. It wasn’t like they had to love me—heck, they didn’t even have to like me. They just had to show up. When I got stood up on ANOTHER blind date, I was starting to panic until a gorgeous stranger swooped in and pretended to be my boyfriend. Luckily for me, my ex and his new girlfriend just happened to be there to see it.

Story
It was supposed to be an escape from the stress back home. A Christmas spent by myself, snowed in somewhere in the middle of nowhere. What I got instead was an unexpected roommate and a chance at my dream job. It should have been easy to keep my distance and focus on the task at hand, but when it came to Luke, nothing was easy. His charm and sexy smile had me wanting to unwrap him as my gift under the tree. Which is why I couldn’t say no when he asked for my help with his sister’s last-minute wedding. The catch- I had to pretend to be his girlfriend AND a caterer.

Sheila + Parker ❤️
Sheila is a single mom to four kiddos. She puts their needs and happiness first, and that's all that matters to her. Then along came Parker, and Sheila was quickly under his spell. No one had ever treated her as well as he did. He's just stopping in town to see a friend but runs into Sheila since they have friends in common. Sheila quickly realizes all the baggage that the two of them bring to a relationship, which makes her question if fairy tales do actually exist.
This is a super cute novella with a bit of Valentine's Day goodness thrown in. Sheila is very self-conscious about her looks after having four kids, and girl, I get it. But Parker made sure to end that on the spot, which I loved. This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions in the best way. Plus, the baggage they both bring in will leave you shocked, but once it's all sorted out, you'll love all the characters even more.
Marie Hawkins narrates yet another of Samantha's books and puts on a great performance. I love finding books she narrates!
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You're a fan of quick, small town stories with a good serving of family drama.

This was delicious!
Candy Coated Promises is book #2 (novella) in the Stone Creek series. Sheila is a divorced mom of 4 teenaged kids trying to navigate life. Her crappy ex-husband has a new girlfriend that is not much older than their oldest child. Parker and Sheila had a drunken night together on NYE and are now seeing how a relationship might work out between them. This steamy, sweet novella is the perfect Valentine's story. With a crazy twist in the story, I binged this one quickly! Love this series and the folks of Stone Creek. Plus it's based in Tennessee (near Nashville), so that's a #win for me!
The narration was sooo good. Marie Hawkins voiced ALL these great characters (from kids to adults) with spectacular ability. LOVED her narration. 5/5 stars!

Relearning love
Shelia has 4 kids, and a controlling ex husband. She doesn’t have time to date, and definitely can’t open her heart up to a possible heartbreak. Parker was infatuated with Sheila from the moment he saw her. This was a fantastic audio of friends, family, and healing.

Sweet novella that you can't help but love!
This is book 2 in Samantha Baca's Stone Creek series. These books do need to be read in order so make sure you start with Chocolate Covered Mistletoe! You won't regret it! Sheila and Parker are perfect for eachother! She is a single mom who has devoted her life to her kids and I love how patient and loving Parker is towards her! I listened to the audio book and the emotion Marie Hawkins put in the book was fantastic! The end was especially heart felt and will bring you to tears. Don't worry because Samantha brings us the HEA we all want!

Just what the heart needed
Sheila and Parker are the brought together in book 1, and I am so glad to see them get a chance to tell their story. Sheila is a divorced mom of 4 teenagers, and Parker has an adult daughter that has recently come back into his life, as he is secretly making a move to be closer to his best friend and business partner Ryder, that moved to Stone Creek to take over his dad's floral shop. Floral shop turned sweet shop, and a girl that he has great spark with, or rekindle the relationship with his daughter is the question. Sheila's ex-husband has a new fiancé and everything seems to be in chaos. Their lives turn out to be more intertwined than they could have ever imagined. I love the raw emotion and true to life characters that are always part of Samantha's books. Would absolutely recommend
Another great novella, HEA,
The narration was done fantastically!
