Return to Christmas beautifully blends the two struggling worlds of a former marine and a little boy with attachment disorder. Former Marine Chet is having a hard time adjusting to civilian life. He doesn't need help. He needs employment. He doesn't have issues. The little boy his friends adopted has issues. But there is something about that little boy that draws him. Will the events leading up to this Christmas be able to melt his soldier heart or will he spiral into a dark depression?

I am a huge fan of Macias', I have read every one of her books and I loved them all. With that said here goes. The negative first..... This book was way to short for my liking. I wanted more of the Chet and Ryan relationship. I loved the whole book from beginning to ending the ending was fantastic.
This is just the kind of book you want to read this time of year. Love and forgiveness are both themes in this book.
Very well written and moving.
I gave this book 5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this book. Put this under someone you loves Christmas Tree.
I was given a copy of this book as a gift.
Oh Yeah A Christmas book! I'm ready for this one.
