Deck The Halls by Donna Alward is a fairly short read, a perfect choice for those with limited time for reading. Ms Alward has delivered a well-written Christmas book that will work it's way into your heart. George, suffering from PTSD, is a veteran that joined the ranks of homeless vets and is just beginning to get his life back. Amy is the sister of the soldier George blames himself for not protecting. George and Amy's story is loaded with drama and just a hint of spice. This is a clean read, appropriate for any age. I enjoyed reading Deck The Halls and look forward to my next book by Donna Alward. Deck The Halls is part of the Darling, VT Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.

This is such a heartwarming story about a broken man finding redemption, I loved it!
The storyline, a second-chance romance between mature characters, is simple but well constructed, the characters lovely and layered, the setting delightful.
I especially loved the poignant depiction of homelessness affecting veterans and how this factor and the sadness of foster homes was translated into the hero's character.
It’s really a feel-good Christmas story, I’ve read it in one setting and it was such a great reencounter with Donna Alward, getting to know this series (Darling).
