Cute holiday story. When Angie meets Forrest in front of the youth center where she volunteers, she knows that he is the one for her. Forrest is back from Iraq after sustaining an injury to his leg from an IED, and he's suffering from PTSD. He's attracted to Angie but thinks he's too damaged and too old for her. Angie will not be put off so easily though. Angie is a kindhearted heroine, always looking for the positive. Forrest is having a hard time trying to adjust to life back in the States. I liked the volunteer work Angie did and got Forrest involved in, helping the military and their families, and Forrest's war veterans support group. The book had a nice small-town feel and sense of community. I loved seeing Smiley the dog again. A quick, easy, light read. ( )
