This is a sweet, heartwarming story about a couple who are about to become parents but there are secrets lurking which could break up their new family. Faith and Greg really need a Christmas miracle to hold things together but will they get it? I had no problem putting myself in their story. These are great characters that took me on an emotional ride and the twists and turns left me turning pages until the end. I highly recommend reading this book.
Faith is pregnant with wins, and conflicted about her job. She goes into labor a month early; the babies are fine, but one needs a little extra care. When she doesn’t wake up after her c-section, the entire family kicks into high gear. This is a wonderful story, emotional and heartwarming, with a (finally) happy ending. Faith’s husband, Greg, comes from a wonderful family, and they’re all there for whatever support is needed. I felt like I was there with this family. I read this as a standalone, not having read any of the previous books in the series. It was not an issue, but now I’d like to go back and read the other books to better understand prior events.

A Must for Christmas was the perfect Christmas novella for the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. I love quick novellas that give you updates on series that you fell in love with. Faith is 30 days from her due date for the twins and the Mallory family is getting ready for Christmas. Can Faith and Greg get a Christmas miracle? What an emotional roller-coaster this book was; I missed these characters and didn’t want this book to end. I want more from this series and this author.

A Must for Christmas : A Darling Cove Novella

5/5 Stars
Deborah Garland has done it yet again! This is a beautiful story about love and hope.. a love so profound and deep, it makes you envious! And to top it off, it’s a Christmas story. Who in the world doesn’t love one of those ??
I do think Greg and Faith are my favorite couple of the entire series. I’m not exactly sure why… but I think maybe because they have such an intense love for one another. They’ve known from a young age, that they belong together. But yet didn’t give up on that love, even when life threw them curveballs and tore them apart. Sometimes, love is worth waiting for!!
Faith’s pregnancy doesn’t go as planned … it never does, when carrying two precious baby boys. Early labor and complications make life chaotic and scary. Will they get the Christmas miracle they so desperately deserve?
Dang it, Deborah… this story made me so emotional!! I love a wonderful love story!! And to top it off… a Christmas love story!! Love love love!! Outstanding job!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next !!

What happens when you put a busy loving family and Christmas coming up with a very pregnant lady? Well you get eagerly awaited twins coming early. I really enjoyed this opportunity to once again get to lose myself in the Greg and Faiths lives. This was such a great delve into their journey into parenthood.
I really like how the author focused on Greg and Faith again and we were able to see the lead up to and the days after the twins birth. I really enjoyed how the families all came together to help and keep Greg going as Faith recovered. This was such a great short read that I am sure it will be one that I will be reading over and over. I really look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Please say this is not the end of the Darling Cove stories…I have grown to love these people so much and I don’t want this to end. Someone else kind of came into the picture a little stronger in this book and I would love to see her get her own story, maybe there’s a long lost Mallory cousin out there somewhere..LOL or maybe Dad deserves a story…
This book took my breath away, there were a few parts that scared me to death thinking oh my goodness no this can’t happen. I loved returning to Faith and Greg even though it was full of scary moments and a lot of secrets that threatened everything these two fought so hard for. The way this family pulls together was so heart warming and that is one of my favorite parts of these books.
This author has quickly become one of my favorites and I will be following her from here on and will be one clicking whatever I can get my hands on.
Thank you Miss Garland for a beautifully written series with some amazing characters and please don’t let this be the end!! I already want to reread all of them!
Loved It!!

Rated 5 stars
This is a story filled with characters about strong family ties. It also gives me a feeling of the love between not only the main characters but also the whole family. It’s nice to see Greg and Faith again. She is pregnant with twins and they have just come back from Skye and Edwards wedding. Then all heck breaks loose. Can they recover together or will they lose faith?
I loved seeing all the characters from the previous books in here. This family has such an amazing bond between them. Each has had a disconnect for a bit but they have all come back. When there are times of need? They all cover for each other. The guys…well their bonding has its fun times. They girls….give good advice. I particularly liked the relationship Greg has always had with his Dad. This one shows so much of that love between them and (hopefully Greg can carry that forward.
This story made me a little emotional at times. I also chuckled a few. Hopefully this isn’t the last in the series but maybe Lily can get a story now and we can still touch base with a few of these wonderful characters!
If you have read the previous series you will enjoy this. If you have not read the series you will enjoy it as well but maybe not have such a deep understanding of the characters. Either way it a great read!

I have really enjoyed this series so was really excited to find this new Christmas novella featuring some of my favourite characters! I loved Greg and Faith so couldn’t wait to read more about them. I love Christmas stories so I knew that I was going to love this one and I absolutely did! It was a really well written novella that I would quite happily have read a full length version of (mainly because I love this author and her amazing characters!) I loved that it was so much more than the sweet Christmas read I anticipated it to be, it had some great twists and turns in it and some very emotional moments. Ms Garland never fails to drag me into her stories and the lives of her characters with ease and this book was no exception. I would recommend the other books in the series are read as well so you can fully appreciate the back story of the main characters!
I loved A Must for Christmas and I look forward to more from this author again in the future!
A great read about miracles. Faith finally married and found happiness with Greg and is about to give birth. But complications arise in the pregnancy and Faith gets sick in hospital. Will Faith and Greg be able to pull through it all or will they need a miracle?
A great read. Well developed plot. A wonderful addition to the series. I loved the combination of drama and fast paced action but also the fun magic of Christmas. Also the sense of a large family helping each other out and sticking together no matter what was a great touch I Loved the visual detail in conntraating colours with the white of the hospital bed against the yellow walls of the nursery which was beautifully written. The only issue I would raise is that there is some repetition of previous plots from the series at the beginning. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
“A Must for Christmas” by Deborah Garland is a wonderful novella in the Darling Cove series, so make sure to read the previous novels first! Deborah Garland gives us another glimpse into the lives of Greg and Faith as they prepare for the birth of their twins at Christmas. This sweet, short story is heart wrenching, sweet and perfect for reading around this time of year! I absolutely adore all the characters in this series and love how Deborah Garland incorporates all of the family members from previous novels into each story so the reader can keep up with the fast changing lives of the Mallory family. This family is the epitome of family to me, lives close but knows boundaries, together through thick and thin and always bands together when someone is in need. These reasons and so many more make this series so special. This book felt like a natural ending to the series, as much as I don’t want it to end! I’ll still hope that Deborah Garland finds another way to keep us all in the loop with the Mallory’s! This was a great way to top off the series and I give “A Must for Christmas” five stars!
What a gripping book. I couldn’t put it down. Super emotional for an also pregnant mom. I was crying and feeling all the emotions as I read the story. It was a great plot with great description. The author has a great writing style as she uses captivating wording to show the power of the story! I would like to know more of what happens in this story with these characters. They pull you in with their love and story. It’s more than just some Christmas story. It’s where you find hard times, struggle, and love in the middle of the Christmas!
A Must For Christmas by Deborah Garland is a novella in her Darling Cove series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although if you read the previous books first you will get all the characters build up.
This book makes a great addition to this series. It showcases the same great writing style that we have seen throughout all of the books. Although shorter than the others, as expected, it didn’t feel rushed and I was still as engaged with the characters as I was with the others.
An enjoyable book and one I would recommend reading.
A Must for Christmas by Deborah Garland is a holiday romance novella that really gets you into the Christmas spirit. From beginning to end this book really puts you into the Christmas spirit with warming your heart and curling your toes from passion. Following the story of Faith and Greg Mallory, who are stars of the Darling Cove series. Being a novella, we only get to see a small snippet of their story, which this portion of their story is a pretty special moment to witness. Becoming parents and having a family Christmas, make things almost too good to be true. Stress and worry can make for a difficult pregnancy, and the issues that almost pulled these two love birds apart. When early labor happens for Faith, Greg is right there with her through it all. Will these two get the perfect family moment on Christmas? Getting to see this side of the Mallory story really allowed me to connect with these characters one more time. Also getting to revisit the Darling Cove couples, as well as new secondary characters made this a great quickie read to get you in the holiday spirit. If you are looking for a great series, from a fantastic author, this is definitely one that you want to add to your reading list!

Short, sweet and to the point. We get to catch up with one of our favorite couples from Darling Cove. Greg and Faith have been through so much together and are finally living their life together. I love when authors write novellas to catch you up on characters. It makes you feel good inside to know that they are still going strong even when things get shaky. I’m so glad nothing serious happened to Faith I couldn’t imagine Greg surviving without her. I know he would live on for his babies but he wouldn’t be the same.

This story is a novella in the Darling Cove series and I would recommend reading the other stories in the series to get to know the characters better.
Faith and Greg are struggling with everyday life as a married couple. The secrets that lie in the shadows threaten to tear their family apart. When they find our that they are expecting, things are happy but they cant help but stress. That stress causes Faith to have complications and go into early labor. Will a Christmas miracle save this family? Or will they be torn apart?
I thought this was a good novella to added to the series and i was happy to see how all of the couple were doing. I look forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.
