Drawing Bloodlines by Deborah Garland was simply phenomenal! This is the first book in her paranormal series, The Princeton Allegiant. This isn’t my first book by this author but it’s definitely my favorite!
I completely devoured this book, I read it in record speed as I was so captivated by the storyline that I couldn’t bring myself to stop! This storyline is intense, addicting, detailed, action-packed, aromatic, romantic and so perfectly steamy! I loved everything about it!
I can’t wait to read more from this author, and I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next paranormal read!

Drawing Bloodlines is Book 1 in The Princeton Allegiant Series a new series by author Deborah Garland. This is my first read from this author and after experiencing this read, it most certainly will not be my last. I would love to read more from this author whether that’s other books or more from this series, I can’t wait to see where she takes it!
Its been a while since I read a vampire read, and boy this didn’t disappoint. It has elements of what you already have read or know about vampires, but it also has its own spin and take on the Vampire world. To me, this book was a mentally visual read! I loved the characters, the storyline and even the twists that are thrown at you along the way. This book was captivating, thrilling and entrancing from the beginning until the very end. I absolutely loved Alexander – he was everything and more, I could totally understand the impact he was having on Elizabeth as he made an impact on me. This book has elements of danger, action, romance, steaminess and pure passion. This was an excellent read from start to finish, it flowed effortlessly from chapter to chapter and from each being in dual POV’s. I loved that we got to experience what our main characters were really thinking and feeling, it made you understand them more and then, in turn, love them even more. I’m so glad I got to experience this read, and enjoy following Elizabeth & Alexander’s journey to what I hope will be the Happily Ever After they both deserve.
I can’t wait to see what else this author bring to this series, but until then do not miss this read!

This is a well written, creative story that had me on the edge of my seat a couple of times. I enjoyed how I was pulled into the story right from the beginning. Alexander is a hot vampire and Elizabeth is a single mother just trying to provide for her daughter. What happens when she passes out and awakens to him drinking her blood? They are great characters that made me feel part of the story and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. I highly recommend this book.

Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) By: Deborah Garland 5 out of 5 stars
The story Drawing Bloodlines (The Princeton Allegiant Series Book 1) by Deborah Garland is a wonderful book that includes vampires and romance. I have always loved vampire stories and this one only made me love them more. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the final page. There are moments when the suspense is high and I was wondering what was going to happen next. There is action, conflict, and danger. I loved reading about the characters of Alexander and Elizabeth. They are amazing to read about and I found myself caring about them with each chapter that I read. Their story is both interesting and intriguing. The story has some steamy moments that make the temperature in the room rise and others that will make you swoon. You can feel the romance, passion, and desire. There are other characters that are introduced that I enjoyed reading about and would love to learn more about them. This is a book I would recommend reading. It is the first story in a series and I look forward to the next one.

He had to drink her blood . . . Even though it meant revealing the monster behind his expensive suits. Now, Alexander must report his mistake to the allegiant commander. Elizabeth’s abduction will be swift unless he convinces the single mother he’s not a threat. He can be of use to her in the dark and in her bed. But can Alexander keep Elizabeth safe when he’s chosen to mate with a vampire from his troubled past?
Deborah’s childhood on Long Island, NY can be described as Cinderella meets Carrie. A latch-key kid, she spent her days after school, cooking, cleaning and looking after her younger brother to help out her very strict working parents. Those hours of nothingness sparked a wild imagination and a few invisible friends.
In 2014, she finished her first full length novel and after years of doing the whole corporate thing, it was finally her turn to make the dream come true of being a published author. Must Love Fashion, her debut novel, was a 2018 Golden Leaf finalist for Best Contemporary Romance. Now with four published novels, and two more scheduled for release in 2019, she is sharing those imaginary friends with her readers.
Her heroines are strong and witty and the heroes fall hard for them. Readers love that her characters are mature and the plots realistic. Kirkus Reviews called her Darling Cove series “promising,” RT Magazine called her work “sexy and sophisticated,”, InD’tale Magazine said her Darling Cove books are “fun, entertaining and heart-warming,” and Uncaged Magazine called her novella, a “gem of a book.”
When she’s not writing, she’s either at the gym or traveling up and down the East Coast to visit out of town relatives. In addition to a great book, she loves pugs and chocolate ad eats her bacon cheeseburgers with a Grey Goose Cosmopolitan.

A Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella, by Deborah Garland, is a great holiday romance. The author introduced Faith and Greg in the start of the series. This latest book gives the reader a further view into their story with a holiday twist. This story provided everything that I enjoyed from other books in the series and gives me more. More intrigue, a little bit of drama, and a true feeling of family. A quick read loaded full, it didn’t feel rush or lacking in any way. The author brought us back to Faith and Greg, knowing not everything is always easy flowing, but sometimes obstacles come along and you have to work to maintain your happiness. Beautifully written.

Easch book in this series just gets better and better. And this one, wow, I just fell in love with it right away. Skye, oh I’ve been waiting for her book since the beginning and what a story she got. And Edward, what a patient man. And his son, loved him to pieces. These two had so many obstacles to wade through and still they couldn’t deny the sparks they had. I would suggest reading these in order as they follow in a timeline and you’d miss how they got to the points they are now.

A must for Christmas : A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland this novella picks up the story and follows Greg and Faith bringing there babies into the world.
I was looking forward to reading this book as Greg and Faith are my favourite characters in this series but oh my this book is full of ups and down which will have your emotions running wild even at times me shouting out at my e-reader that you can not do this to us Ms Garland.
I would say you need to read this wonderful series and this book follows on from the last book so you get to know these great characters. This book is like the others well written and full of twists and turns even when at points you can believe the direction may be going in. I can not wait to read the next instalment in Darling Cove.

A Must for Christmas is a sweet holiday novella in Deborah Garlands’ Darling Cove series. I loved meeting Greg and Faith again (we met them in Must Have Faith) and it was also great to get an update on the other Mallory siblings as well! Greg and Faith are at the final stages of expecting their twins to arrive and both of them are struggling with how they see themselves once the kids arrive – Greg would love Faith to be a stay-at-home-mom and Faith cannot really imagine doing it … having kids is a very emotional time for anyone and having the first kids after having been separated for such a long time … it is even more! It is a perfect holiday addition to the Darling Cove series and just a friendly reminder, the series should be read in the order the writer meant it!

A Must For Christmas is the Christmas novella in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This was a wonderful addition to the series, but I would highly recommend you read this series in order. This book features Greg and Faith Mallory as they get ready for Christmas and bring their twins into the world. This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until the last. What’s the Christmas Season without a little stress? It a great seasonal read and I highly recommend this book, series and author.

I shouldn’t be surprised by Deborah Garland and her beautiful way with words. I have come to appreciate all that she has offered with her Darling Cove series, and A Must for Christmas definitely added to the beauty of the characters.
I loved going back and seeing both Faith and Greg, although their journey has been a little bit stressful. But, I’m glad and content with the way that she wrote this novella. This was a definite 4 Star Book for me.

While this is a quick read, it sure packed the emotions. I would suggest reading these books in order so the timelines all add up. Greg and Faith are settling in after a long day of celebration. As they’re heading to bed, the unexpected happens and Faith is rushed to the hospital. Through the circumstances, Greg is making the best decisions he can along with the support of his family. Through it all, they get a Christmas miracle.

A Must For Christmas is a Darling Cove novella written by Deborah Garland. We revisit Faith and Greg and the birth of their beautiful twin boys. Things don’t go according to plan and chaos erupts as panic sets in. It is a high energy, emotionally charged novella that will have you anxious and blissfully happy.
Deborah Garland captured the essence of romance with this tastefully turbulent tale. Faith and Greg were my favourite couple and it was such a pleasure to continue their journey and this author captured beauty. 5 stars.

Must Be Crazy is the third book in the Darling Cove series from Deborah Garland. I personally would recommend that you read the first two books before you read this one, they do go in a pretty decent order and the characters are involved in each book somewhat. This one focuses on Skye Mallory. Her connection is that she is Gwen and Greg’s sister who have books one and two which would be the benefit to reading them.
Skye is single yet successful. As an attorney she rocks it and runs her very own office. Unfortunately when it comes to love she has not had the best of luck, especially with her last relationship that ended in a brutal way. However, both of her siblings have found the loves of their lives and she knows it is a matter of time before those around her start nagging her to find her own happily ever after. She is doubtful that she will ever change her mind though, especially with the secret she is harboring. All that is about to be put into question when her office and apartment catch fire and a hunky fireman extinguishes the fire, and lights the spark insider her again.
Edward Mendelsohn is that firefighter. He has his own demons and secrets he will need to get around but the beautiful Skye is something he wants to try to get over all that for. He is that single father of an adorable seven year old kiddo, Julian, and still recovering from a tough spilt from his mother. Just when he thinks he is finally at a point where he can move on with Skye and these two hit it off the past comes back to meddle in their newfound romance. Then there is a matter of secrets that come out to play. What will happen to the new love? Is it going to be extinguished before it ever gets a chance to become a full-fledged fire?

A Must For Christmas is a Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland. I really love Faith and Greg who had their story in ‘Must Have Faith’- and I was excited to see this book has more of their story for us to enjoy. This story picks up where ‘Must Be Crazy’ left off and pretty much throws us right into the action. The story had me on the edge of my seat, with my heart in my mouth for most of the way through. I cried, I stressed, and then I cried some more. The story was tense, emotional, and dramatic….. And I loved it. There is so much story crammed into a short amount of space, but in a really good way. It never felt rushed or like there was anything ‘missing’- because Ms. Garland brought her “A” Game here. Yes, the story is nerve-wracking- but it’s also full of loyalty, commitment, bonds, hope, faith, love, wonderful family dynamics- and with a special Christmas miracle that made this book quite endearing! I love that all the characters who we’ve come to adore from this series, all make appearances in this story too, getting to ‘catch up with them all as well. They are such a close-knit, loving, and supportive group/family- it’s so wonderful to see. The story is really well written, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Ms. Garland. It’s emotional, tender, and so touching in parts- which helped to ease some of the nerve-wracking elements. I can’t wait for more from Darling Cove- I hope Lily will get her own story now too!

Must Be Crazy is the third book in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend you read the whole series because they are all really good reads. This book had my emotions all over the place, laughing one minute and crying the next, that to me is what makes a good book great, having real reactions to the story. This book had me hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down till I read the last. Skye is going through a rough patch and hold onto a big secret, so when her apartment burns down and Edward comes barreling into her life, things are starting to get a little brighter. Edward is a single parent and really interested in Skye, but will she open up and trust him with her secret? If you like a great romance, I highly recommend this book, series and author. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
OH MYLANTA! This book really hit me in all the feels! I have loved the Darling Cove Novels from Deborah Garland for awhile now and was so stinking excite to read the Christmas novella this holiday season. This was on the top of the list for my reads this season. I will say right now, I would not recommend that you read this novella if you haven’t read the other books in the series and read them in order.
This one gives us a peek into the lives of Faith and Greg Mallory as they are about to change drastically. See they are about to become parents. It’s a special time for them,and a special time of year, Christmastime. The faith they have that everything will work out for the positive is about to be put to the test in ways they never imagined they would have to face. The emotions you feel while reading their journey through this novella are raw to say the least. I found tears rolling down my face several times, and by the end of the book I was believing in Christmas miracles all over again. I will for sure be curled up next to the tree once again rereading this beautiful holiday tale before the holiday season is over again this year, and many years to come. Thank you Ms. Garland for the wonderful story!

Deborah Garland’s Must Be Crazy is the third installment in the Darling Cove series. This contemporary romance features Skye Mallory, her quirks, faults and possibly a happily ever after? I fell in love with this series with the first book, Must Love Fashion. Each book has featured a separate couple, but they each overflow to some extent to the subsequent stories. Must Be Crazy is my favorite from the series so far. Skye is a strong character, but inside, she’s fractured and trying to hold herself together. The ultimate question, is how long that will last and what will happen when that final seal breaks? Add in a seriously charming male, the possibilities are endless. The back history that is shared with the present tense of the story was well played, not pushing the story into the far left field. There were definitely some character(s) I enjoyed not liking, but they gave the story that additional mix to create a well rounded tale.

A Must for Christmas : A Darling Cove Novella By Deborah Garland 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 opertunity 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.

5 Stars
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!

Must Be Crazy is book three in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland. I have lived, laughed and loved with the eccentric, eclectic and electric characters I have got to know. This author tastefully masters a slightly suspenseful romance and gives a new clarity to the genre.
Skye was the most complex character to get to know. It wasn’t as easy as the others were, which made her story hard fought and my favourite. Edward had a lot going on and with a huge amount of responsibility, he never forgot what was important and went out of his way to ensure everyone he held dear to him knew about it. And often. gentleness is portrayed in Deborah Garlands writing, but also the passionate, loving and honourable personalities are obvious. While what you read is what you get, if you take your time, there is a lot more hidden in the very depth of each story, just bursting to be revealed. You really do get more that you could have wished for. 5 stars.

5 Stars
I love this series, everything about it, the people, the town, the family, the friends, the writing and the way everything just flows. It is completely awesome!!
Now with all that said I can concentrate on just this book…I’m not sure how to put into words what I loved most about this story. The storyline for me was completely unexpected..It did not go the way I thought it would. Miss Garland never gave in on the good guy maybe being in the wrong, and Skye being put right in the middle of everything and standing by what was right even when her heart was telling her not to. That’s still not explaining it the way it should be explained so you will have to read the book to understand.
I wasn’t crazy about Skye in earlier books but I always had a feeling there was more to her and I was right. Her story was so sad and her not wanting to burden her family with it about broke my heart. There were scenes in this book that I felt deep, some made me cry and others just took my breath away. I think I felt every emotion that was written or implied in this story and then some that weren’t so I was a mess throughout most of it.
I can’t recommend this story enough, but do not just read this book, truly and honestly to get the full effect of this family and these people you have to read them all in order.
Loved loved loved it and can not wait to read the next which is already open on my kindle.

I have come to find out that I really enjoy Deborah Garland’s books. I got the opportunity to read Must Be Crazy in the Darling Cove Series. I have fallen in love over and over with the characters that Deborah has created. I love the feeling that I get when I immerse myself in her world, a world that was well developed.
I can’t say that I was surprised to enjoy Edward and Skye’s book – I loved seeing their story and relationship grow. Their trials is what makes this story a wonderful one. I honestly can’t wait to see what she does with this series, and where it goes. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me!

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 By Deborah Garland 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!

Must Be Crazy is the third book in Deborah Garland’s Darling Cove series! We are back in Darling Cove where both Gwendolyn and Greg Mallory have finally found their loves. Hopefully now will be their sister Skye’s turn or at least that is what her father is expecting. The writer is taking us back to the ups and downs of a budding relationship and family and loyalty and camaraderie and … above all, love! We meet Skye and a single father Edward Mendelsohn. We have met them previously and I have to say it was high time for them to get their own story! I know I know … most of us hated Skye but at the same time we all know that the characters we hate most might turn out the ones we feel most for! So, the lawyer and the architect are thrown together when fire destroys Skye’s apartment and business and Edward is there (he is the Fire Chief). Edward hopes that finally he will be able to pursue the woman she has secretly been desiring for ever … well, like in life, nothing is that simple! You will be keeping your breath to see if all this drama will derail their budding love … Welcome into a story with multiple story lines that remind you of real life with its messiness and beauty! I am looking forward to the next one in the series AND I have that novella already downloaded on my e-reader!

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.
