National Best-Selling Author, J.L. Campbell has written a charming holiday story that is set in her country of Jamaica. Regina Wright, a remarkably busy entrepreneur who runs a catering company, is the leading lady in this story. Regina, also known as Gina, is the mother of a precocious six-year-old, Luca whose letter to Santa adds to the story’s Christmas magic. Speaking of Santa, let me introduce you to Isaac “Zack” Winters, the hero who also doubles as the daycare Santa in the story. You’ll get that when you read this delightful holiday tale.
Gina’s holiday season is not off to a good start. There are some obstacles that occur that add to her already hectic holiday schedule. Gina is blind-sided by a series of events that threaten her catering business, All Things Tasty. Her business partner, Nichelle, and Gina’s boyfriend, Boyd both add to the mayhem that Gina must deal with at the height of the bustling holiday catering season. I will allow you to discover what happened when you read the story. I love the part that Luca plays in this story. His heart-to-heart talk with “Santa” (who just happens to be Zack) starts the proverbial wheels rolling in this story about an “I don’t need anyone’s help” caterer and a “I’m here to help where I can” programmer. Gina and Zack are meant to be because they are literally “bumping” into each other. You’ll get that when you read the story.
Family is especially important to our lead characters. Both Gina and Zack’s family members have minor roles that contribute to the intrigue of the story and their development as a couple. There is a great scene where Gina mistakes Zack for his twin brother, Eli. The HFN for Gina and Zack is so sweet!
I loved this well written and entertaining holiday story. I recommend DAYCARE-SANTA for your reading pleasure. It’s a great story to read at your leisure during this holiday season.

'Daycare Santa' by J. L. Campbell
My Perception:
"Daycare Santa" is not just a heartwarming holiday romance; it's a celebration of love, resilience, and the surprising ways life can bring us joy. This enchanting story focuses on Regina Wright, a widow and single mother who navigates the challenges of parenting her six-year-old son, Luca while trying to keep her business afloat amidst the holiday chaos.
Regina's journey of self-discovery begins as she deals with the fallout of a relationship tinged with deception, thanks to her astute friend Nichelle, who helps her see the truth about Boyd. Meanwhile, Isaac "Zack" Winters has his wounds to heal after facing betrayal, leading him to become a stand-in Santa at Wintertime Daycare, where he connects with children and brightens their holidays.
When Regina and Luca cross paths with Zack, a spark ignites. Yet, Regina's guarded heart hesitates to open up to a new connection. This story beautifully captures her struggle to embrace vulnerability while maintaining her independence. As she navigates her feelings and learns to accept help, the warmth of the holiday spirit envelops her in the most unexpected ways.
"Daycare Santa" is a must-read for anyone yearning for a delightful Christmas love story that encapsulates the magic of second chances, the strength of friendship, and the joy of community. This book will inspire you to believe that the most precious gifts often come when we least expect them.

Great short story
I really enjoyed Finals story. But it should have been longer it needs a part two to find out did she get a new shop, what happened to her ex business partner.
