Christmas Candy by Samantha Jacobey
4.0
What made the experience of listening to Christmas Candy the most enjoyable?
I don't know if the author planned it but I fell in love with Candy's son Dax. He doesn't have much of an appearance but he is the one that helps to bring Candace and Gary together. The story had me wishing that Dax was sitting next to me the next time I listened to this story.
What did you like best about this story?
There were times that I got frustrated with Candace because she kept finding ways to put up barriers that made it hard for Gary. But I loved the fact that Gary didn't give up.
What about Vanessa Hensley-Mayes’s performance did you like?
She brought Candy's character to life.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I loved this author's story and definitely wanted to listen to this in one sitting. And once it was over I wanted to listen to it again.
Any additional comments?
The only issue I had with Ms. Hensley-Mayes's performance was when she did the character of Gary. She doesn't have the type of voice that lends well to a male character. Candace is a good example of someone who needs to stop making assumptions about people. If not for the author, I could see Gary giving up on Candy and finding someone who has no issue excepting him for who he is. This is one of those books where it would be great to have a copy of the book and the audio version.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Audiobook/Reader Copy of this book.
