“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!

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!

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. Review by Anastasia D.

A Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella By: Deborah Garland 5 out of 5 stars
The novella A Must for Christmas by Deborah Garland is a holiday romance book. It is a wonderful story and I couldn’t put it down until I had finished the last page. You reunite with Faith and Greg Mallory of the Darling Cove series. It is the Christmas season and they are about to become parents. A few dark clouds have appeared. Stress causes early labor and complications. Greg is right there with Faith, however, fear and worry can be overwhelming when waiting for word from the doctors. What does this Christmas season hold for Greg and Faith? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about Faith and Greg once again. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are from the series and are friends/family to this couple. This story has heartwarming/touching scenes and others when you wonder what is going to happen next. The book is written in such as way that you can feel the characters emotions and mine went up and down with them all the way through. This is a perfect story to add to the Darling Cove series and one that you will not want to miss out on. Highly recommended reading. I personally would read this novella after all of the other books in the series. It helps to do this in order to understand some of the situations that are described and who all the players/characters are.

A Must For Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland is yet another wonderful addition to the stories of the Mallory’s. Deborah has written another beautiful but heart wrenching novella with A Must For Christmas. I am in love with the characters from this series and feel personally invested in each and every one of them. So if they hurt, I hurt. If they are sad I am sad and let me tell you there were plenty of times I had a good sob. However, there were also some moments that were pure joy.
Faith and Greg have been through so much to get where they are today, but could all be lost in the blink of an eye? Fear like they have never known is now front and center, with no time for second guessing. Now because of two little men their lives are forever changed.
Deborah’s stories are so vivid and rich and I am always happy to read her work. It is effortless and written with love. Her stories should not be missed.

A Must For Christmas is a Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland. It follows on exactly where Must Be Crazy left off. Although this novella could be read as a standalone, you will have much more enjoyment if you have read the 3 previous books. This is a fantastic series and I would encourage anyone considering it to jump in and enjoy. Must be Crazy left us on Skye and Edward’s wedding night with Faith going into premature labour with her and Greg’s twin boys. This novella was action packed from the very first page with Faith going into labour and kept me on the edge of my seat right to the very end in the hope that all would turn out ok. This novella brings back all members of the Mallory family who had gained our hearts in the first 3 books as they come together to celebrate Skye and Edward’s wedding then spend Christmas together, only to be thrown into turmoil when Faith has complications and goes into premature labour, leaving her life in the balance. This novella will take you through a roller coaster of emotions as Deborah Garland is an amazing storywriter, giving us amazing characters to fall in love with. I’m praying that this novella is not the end of the Darling Cove Series.

The Darling Cove Series is set in a town called Darling Cove, the North Fork of Long Island and features a cast of characters who are family by choice and by blood. I would recommend reading the other stories in this series to get to know the personalities featured in this novella.
I was super excited when I saw this story was about Greg and Faith. I was curious as to what they were up to for Christmas. This story is quick, emotional and layered. It was deeper than the traditional Christmas novella and I enjoyed it.
I would recommend this story, this series, and this author.

A Must For Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella Deborah Garland 5 out of 5 stars
A Must For Christmas is a different kind of edge of your seat, suspenseful story that hooked me from the very beginning. I loved being reunited with all of my favorite characters from the Darling Cove series and the element of family that these characters embody. Faith and Gregory took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotion in this novella, through health and marital complications and really just life’s obstacles in general. Throughout the novella I found myself thinking that everything HAD to be okay, Deborah Garland wouldn’t break my heart completely. I didn’t stop reading until I found out either way, good thing this was a short read! I don’t want to divulge too much about A Must For Christmas because it’s too great a story to spoil for you. I recommend giving this (and any Darling Cove novel) a read!

A Must For Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella by Deborah Garland is an absolute must read if you have been following this series.
There is a huge baby boom in Darling Cove and the Mallory’s are completely responsible for it. Gwen and and Andrew have already had their daughter. Greg and Faith are expecting their twin boys and Skye and Edward have Julian. What happy time for the family oh and its Christmas.
I remember the fear I felt before having my first child and don’t know if I could have dealt with that fear knowing there were two little ones coming very soon. Trying to make the best decisions for them as a mother and for myself as an individual would have been overwhelming but I would have made sure to discuss it with my husband which is not something Faith did with Greg and it drove me nuts.
But other than that I loved this book, it was so sweet and I could feel my arms itching to hold a little one.
I really hope we have not seen the last of the Mallorys.

I really loved catching up with Mallory family and reading Skye’s story. This is the third Darling Cove novel, it was a really enjoyable read. The characters are well written and I felt like I was meeting up with old friends, seeing how their lives were getting on. Must Be Crazy is a easy story to read, there are ups and downs, as there always are in real life. Loved the characters and storyline in this book. There certainly is a lot happening in Skye and Edward’s lives to cause them problems, I liked seeing how they overcame it to try and find their future together. This is definitely one worth reading.

A Must for Christmas: A Darling Cove Novella (Darling Cove) by Deborah Garland was a heart pounding, sweet, feels gripping read that had me on the edge of my seat, mostly because I was sitting there like.. don’t you dare, don’t you even dare do ti!
A grand addition to the Darling Cove series, this book takes place, or a better description, picks up were the last book, Must be Crazy, leaves off. So this book is a companion, so I highly suggest reading that book first, well all of the books actually, because they follow a chronological timeline. So spoilers.
This books main focus is on Faith and Greg, and them welcoming their little bundles of joy into the world. This doesn’t go smooth, and we are left in a limbo like stat, and for me, a little panic, because what author doesn’t like to mess with their characters and readers hearts? So much raw emotions, chaos, and reality. I had to put this down because I was starting to think the worst, and by the universe I didn’t want to read that. But I pulled my big girl pants up and read on.
This book is more than a addition, it’s a look into a very real situation, and one that happens more often then you want to believe. You can plan, plan, plan, but something the universe has other ideas.
This book is a must read for this series, so please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will get kicked in the feels and still when it all said and done, you will want more with this amazing group of characters and their crazy antics, witty dialogue, and of course from their unique world.

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.

Must Be Crazy (Darling Cove Book #3) by Deborah Garland was a sweet, light hearted, frustrating, whirlwind romance, that like the other books in the series, had me hooked from start to finish.
Not my first read by this author, or this series. They are all standalones with recurring characters, there aren’t many spoilers, but I do suggest reading this series in order, just because the timeline is chronological.
This time we are following Sky and her crazy adventure through love, misunderstandings, stupid ex’s, and what it means to truly trust someone. I have to say, this book out of all three, was for me, the best. I liked Sky from the other books, strong independent and bluntly awesome. She speaks her mind and doesn’t have a lot of time for BS. She gets stuck between a rock and a hard place when her idiot of a ex shows up with a case, and offering a chunk of money, that because of events in past books, she couldn’t pass up. As much as I wanted to slap her, I can see were she was coming from, but, hell, the girl should have asked for help before it got to that, no return point.
Edward, I need me one of those. Charming, hot, heart of gold, a little bit stupid, single father, and volunteer firefighter. The guy is as close to perfection as you can get, but, as much of a fighter and alpha he is, dude learned a hard lesson about cutting corners, and, not divulging some important info, that could have solved a portion of his and sky problems, before they arose. I will say that, he didn’t walk away, he knew what he wanted and was going to do everything to make it work. There was no quitting, with every problem, misunderstanding, misstep, he fought, and did his best to turn it around. It was such a different approach, and was a fresh of breath air.
Overall this story, this series is a must read. Outside of the amazing well build characters, solid plot and multi POV. The writing was so well constructed that when the POV switch it was like you were reading two different stories that so happen to be taking place at the same time. When those stories collided, it was like magic and, man, I was hooked like you wouldn’t believe. I do hope there is more to this series, as their stories are still fresh, new. I believe there is still so much more that can be build and explored upon.
So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that you will get lossed in this wicket love story, that will not only get those feels kick started, but have you hiding a blushing from all the hot steaming smut scenes.
Must be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third instalment in the Darling Cove series and follows the story of Skye and Edward.
Skye has worked hard for what she has got in the world, but now her brother and sister have found love the expectation is that she will settle down also. But she has come out of a bad relationship which has left her weary about giving her heart too freely and the question is, is there anyone she could trust with her fragile love, but when her apartment and office goes up in flames within the smoke she meets the most gorgeous man she has ever seen in Edward.
Edward has had his fair share of heart break but unfortunately he has had to carry on regardless as he has a nine year old son to look after so his feelings are pushed deep down. Until her goes to a fire and sees the most beautiful woman, the only thing he question is, is he ready for a new relationship.
The story was full of action and with twists and turns will have you turning the pages and wanting to get to the end of the story. The chemistry between theses two characters jumps of the page and with a little twist in the story will these two people be able to overcome all the obstacles that get stuck in their way to be able to find true love. You will have to read to find out, I have enjoyed the other two books in this series and this one in the series does not disappoint.

Must Be Crazy is the third book in Deborah Garland’s Darling Cove series and so far it’s my absolute favorite. I was drawn to the story the second I read the first page and my attention was captured throughout the entire thing. The characters are the type that you can’t help but relate to and want what’s best for them as if they’re your own close friends. It doesn’t hurt that we have met these characters in the first two books as well. The synopsis of Must Be Crazy is incredibly intriguing and I don’t want to spoil anything about the story here but I will say that this book touches every emotion, the road to happiness for Skye and Edward is anything but smooth and nothing short of entertaining. I’ve really enjoyed the Darling Cove series as a whole but this one surpasses all my expectations. I’m looking forward to reading more from Deborah Garland in the near future but this 5 star read was definitely satisfying enough to hold me over. I highly recommend Must Be Crazy!

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in the Darling Cove Series and one I have been waiting for. This series has been one of my favourites and this story is just as good if not better than the other two books and let me tell you I loooooooooved the other two and the Mallory’s. Must be Crazy is a wonderful second chances contemporary romance that is romantic and sweet, heart wrenching and tender, emotional and yet passionate. I was absolutely invested in these wonderful characters, previous and new and found myself crying and laughing throughout and often on the edge of my seat hoping upon hope that things would turn out ok.
Edward is a single father who is a good, kind and compassionate guy who devotes his time to his son, volunteer firefighting and his business as an architect, volunteer firefighter, single father, and all-round good guy. One call, one fire and his life is changed forever.
Skye thought she could have it all, until she learns just who her client is after.
If you love a good romance story, then why stop at one when you can have all three. Trust me reading has never been so good.

Must Be Crazy is the third book in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland, this can be read as a standalone but recommend you read the first two books. I have been waiting for Skye’s book since Must Love Fashion; there was just something about her character that I connected with. But it was Must Have Faith that had me really wanting Edward and Skye together. They had this instant connection with one another. So when I started Must Be Crazy, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to put this book down. Besides the great love story of Edward and Skye, there was DRAMA from someone’s ex.
I always have a full heart and tears in my eye when I read about men or women taking on a stepchild like they are their own. It was great catching up with the rest of this family, at one point they were all living under one roof – sorry that is just too many people in one house. But when Greg, Gwen, and Skye are all together you know there will be laughing. This book had everything you will love – it was sweet, funny, emotional and sexy.

Deborah Garland has done it again with “Must Be Crazy” the third installment in the Darling Cove series. Make sure you read the previous books before reading this one because they are all amazing and need to be read! This story is about Skye, the oldest Mallory daughter and middle child to Greg and Gwen. Skye has always been kind of a loner, even in her family. She loves them all, but loves her alone time and has secrets to protect. Her whole world comes apart and suddenly, there is Edward the local fire chief. Edward is fiercely protective of his seven year old son, Julian, since Julian’s mother left them three years ago. Between being a fire chief, single dad and an architect, Edward hasn’t had time for a love life. Events throw these two together and boy do they stick! If you have been reading the whole series like I’ve told you to, then you know Edward and Skye were a long time coming! I was so excited to finally read Skye’s story! I love how close the Mallory family has become over the past three books and how we get to keep learning new information about all of the couples. No one book is just about the main couple, everyone is involved and sharing in endless amounts of love!

Must Be Crazy is the 3rd instalment of the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland, following on from Must Love Fashion and Must Have Faith. Each book can be read as a standalone or as a series. If read as a series then you’ll need to read them in order to prevent spoilers. I had read and loved the first two books and this one was just as fantastic, if not more. By the end of Must Have Faith readers were crying out for Skye and Edward to have their own story and thankfully Deborah Garland fulfilled this need. Skye Mallory is a successful lawyer with her own practice in Darling Cove. She’s always had her eye on handsome volunteer fire chief and architect Edward Mendelsohn. Meanwhile Edward has been fantasizing about Skye for a long time. When a fire at Skye’s home brings them together the sparks fly and they admit their feelings to one another. They are both smitten and are ready to embark on a serious relationship when they are torn apart by the fact that Skye’s biggest client is suing Edward, which is a major conflict of interests, resulting in Skye ending their budding relationship. Is there a way that Skye and Edward can still be together without affecting her career? Will Skye put Edward before her career? Will they get the chance to get their HEA or are there just too many obstacles in the way? These and so many other questions are answered in this fantastic book which will keep you gripped to the very last page. I loved this book so much that I really need to go back and read the first 2 again.

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in her Darling Cove series. As great addition to the series this book can be read as a stand-alone however this series is good enough you will want to read it all. Skye is hiding a secret. One that could tear her family apart. So she will make sure to keep her secret and never let it out. Edward has wanted Skye for a long time. And when opportunity comes knocking he isn’t one to pass it up. But will the secret Skye is keeping be too much for them? Will it break up any hope of a relationship? Or will they find a way past it?
I loved reading about Skye and Edward. They are such a great couple together. The way each of them has been written perfectly compliments the other. There is a great story to this book but the characters were it for me. I have enjoyed the other books in this series but so far this one has to be my favourite. A brilliant read.
5 Star Must Be Crazy( Darling Cove Book 3) By Deborah Garland is the third book in her Darling Cove series and my favorite. I’ve absolutely freaking love this whole series and I recommend reading the first two books as well. I was sucked right in from the beginning and couldn’t put it down until the last page. I can’t express enough how much I just love this author. I’ve been waiting on Skye and Edward’s story and it was worth the wait. Edward and Skye’s story .Skye is a woman who has a secret and is keeping it from her family. What happens when the secret is revealed? Edward is the fire chief who is very much interested in Skye . These two have chemistry that’s undeniable but can they have a relationship? Can these two get their HEA? Find out what happens. I highly recommend this Book. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This is the third book in the Darling Cove series and it is just as good as the first two. You do not have to read these books in order but i highly recommend reading all of them because they’re all very good! Skye is the FMC and is has has a rough go at things lately and just hasn’t had the best of luck. She has a horrible ex and is big factor in that so called bad luck. I really really really wanted to punch him in the face. But then there is Edward. He is swoonworthy! So he more than makes up for the ex! Skye and Edward have chemistry galore and i found myself rooting for their HEA very quickly! I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend this one to a friend!

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in her series, Darling Cove, and honestly, I think this is the best one yet. This story had me hooked from the beginning, much like the rest of the series, but I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Getting drawn in from the first page, I didn’t want to put this one down until I finished. Following the stories of Skye Mallory and Edward Mendelsohn, I loved the chemistry between these two. Skye is a working woman who isn’t worried about finding someone for herself. But when her siblings tell her they found the perfect man for her, her doubts are obviously high, until she sets her eyes on Edward. While there is something about Edward that draws her to him, there is also a secret she is keeping from her loved ones that could ruin this relationship. What is this secret, and could it really be the end of everything for Skye if she were to tell those closest to her? Edward is the fire chief in town and is immediately drawn to Skye when he sets his eyes on her. While he wanted to ask her out before, getting set up on a date with her by siblings just made his job that much easier. When tragedy strikes Skye and her business and apartment go up in flames, Edward comes to the rescue, and Skye can’t seem to stay away from him. When situations arise that threaten to tear these two love birds apart it is going to take allot of trust and love to get them through this together. Can Skye trust Edward to keep her secret, or even trust him with her heart? Can Edward step up and be the man that Skye needs most in her world? The attraction and chemistry between these two will steam over your glasses and cause your e-reader to short circuit, but it is totally worth it in the end. Having read several of Garland’s books in the past, including the first two stories in this series, and I have to say this is by far my favorite of them all. If you are looking for a great read that will take you away from the cold winter weather than I suggest you pick up this series and tuck away for some much need hot reading that is guaranteed to keep you warm all through the night.

Must Be Crazy: Darling Cove Series Book 3 written by Deborah Garland. This is a nice series each book is about a different person yet they all relate to the previous characters. This story is Skye’s story, if you have read the previous books then you will recognize her. If you have not read the previous stories you can still read this as a standalone. Skye had been through a lot, now she’s trying to help her father as much as possible with the assistant of her family. Atleast until her ex comes back into her life, but she needs something from him like he needs something from her. The story is full of surprises and ups and downs just like the others in the story.

Must Be Crazy by Deborah Garland is the third book in the Darling Cove series and I think it is my favorite as of this moment. I laughed, cried and hurt for Skye.
Skye dealt with so much in this book and a long hidden secret comes to light. The love she gives her family and they showed her is how its supposed to be, especially in the dark times.
Edward is a great man. He does so much for the community all while raising his son, Julian alone. I loved getting to know him and his story. Julian stole my heart in so many ways. As a Mom I just wanted to make things better for him and cuddle with him.
This is a series I almost didnt start, I’m so glad I didn’t make that mistake.

Must Be Crazy A Darling Cove novel by Deborah Garland
4 Stars!!!!
This being the third book in this series was another great one. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the chance to get to know more about the Mallory’s and the extended family. I was just as entranced with this book as I was the first.
I really like how Skye and Edward’s lives just really became entangled with one another. The outside dramas that incurred from her ex and his ex just really made the story. The author really has a unique writing form that you get sucked in from the first page. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Skye and Edward and then throwing in his young son really just made the whole story. I found myself really drawn to Skye as she was so relateable. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and I actually hope that there is more to this series.
