A Real Christmas: A Sweet Single Mom Romance (Love in Applewood: A Sweet Romance Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
Christmas hasn't been the same for Allison Voss since losing her husband, but she's determined to make it merry for her daughters' sake. She's between jobs and simply managing day to day is a struggle until she meets Ward Haysgard. His act of kindness and offer of employment just might turn her luck around.
Ward is not a fan of Christmas. As a district manager for a large department store, he's seen plenty of greed and selfishness and not much good will toward men. But Allison's plight touches him. As he gets to know her and her girls, they work their way into his heart. A heart he thought had hardened long ago, when he lost the loving grandmother who raised him.
As the holiday approaches, an old secret from Ward's past emerges and threatens his closeness to Allison. Will he leave her heartbroken? Or will she and Ward discover together what makes Christmas real?

- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023What a heartwarming story. A widowed mother of 2 daughters, trying her best to survive and keep food on the table only to be judged by others. Sadly people are critical in regards to what they don't like or understand. Yet there are those who are willing to help and give without expecting anything in return. Beautiful story ❤️

- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2022Having lost her husband just before Christmas a year before, Alison gets a job at the local up scale department store. Her kindness and care makes customers and co-workers like her. But when she learns all seasonal employees will be let go January 13th, the few items shed put on layaway for her 6 and 9 year old daughters have to be returned. Finding a job had been difficult for her and shed have to budget every penny she made to stretch her earnings as long as she could into the new year. Though broken hearted to have nothing for the girls for Christmas, she made herself think of the things she could do for them.
A very sweet novel I recommend to all.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2023Allison is a widow with two daughters. She is looking for a job. She finds one in the town’s department store. She likes the work and the people she works alongside. Allison and her daughters love everything about Christmas.
Ward is the head manager of the department store. He meets Allison at work. The two of them become friends. Ward isn’t celebrating Christmas. It makes him sad.
Can Allison and her girls warm up Ward’s heart?
