This was a wonderful and magical escapist book. Just perfect for cuddling up indoors to read. The complex relationships of the main family were fascinating and it’s very true that you only have to scratch the surface to see the cracks appear. Set in Aspen Colorado the Author’s narrative was so descriptive I felt I’d been transported there! A little predictable but it had to be and that only added to the charm in my opinion!

Once again, this book is an absolute win! What a beautiful story..

I love the way that each character has such a different story and part to play - Jordan has to one of my favourites, he had a hard outlook and loved the conclusion.

I now need a real white Christmas and be able to enjoy everything in the story.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this. I will be recommending it to anyone who wants a Christmas read.

I found this book enchanting. The lives of two families start to blend but, not without several admissions tears.
Maggie receives a call from her youngest daughter, Rosie. Rosie and her boyfriend Dan are in Aspen for Thanksgiving and he’s just proposed. This lovely news is overshadowed by the short notice as the wedding is set for Christmas!
Rosie has a history of asthma attacks and Maggie has cocooned her, adding protection from things that could cause her hurt. Such as, the fact that Maggie and Nick, her husband, are estranged. Katie, Maggie’s eldest daughter has a dark secret that she’s not shared with any of the family and she’s not ready to tell. All she is ready for is a fight to make sure that Rosie doesn’t go through with the wedding and make the biggest mistake of her life! Can Maggie, Nick and Katie make the trip from Oxford to Aspen and find out what the urgency is?
I loved the way this story opened out. Having lived in Colorado, the descriptions of the mountains in the snow brought back beautiful memories. I can confirm that Aspen is a gorgeous place.
The way Sarah wove her tale of the intricacies of relationships was magical. I knew there was a happy ending coming but, at what cost?
Read this and escape to a lovely place.

Another wonderful top read from Sarah. Any wonder she is a Times best seller. I thoroughly enjoyed this touching, family orientated, romantic story line and it’s characters, never quite knowing how it will end.

Fans of a Christmas romance will love this book. It has all the right ingredients, likeable characters and beautiful descriptions. We all know what the ending will be from the beginning but that's sort of the point. Reading this book made me feel very excited about Christmas and it's only October!

An easy to read book which flows. The relationship between all the characters are interesting and make one think about one's own relationships with others. Set in a wonderful place it really brings out the worst and then the best between them all.

I really enjoyed it, thanks

I love Sarah Morgan books and have read all of her previous ones. As always this didn’t disappoint and kept me entertained until the very last page. A wonderful story for the festive season with well explored characters and a good plot line. Maggie and Nick were my favourite characters and their story was written really well.

It has begun...the festive reads have commenced in earnest. I didn't quite think I'd be doing this so soon but for some reason I've been in the mood for festive cheer AND I've got a lot of advanced reader copies of christmas themed books to review before publication.

Sarah Morgan's latest book will be published on the 31st October...just in time to see off the ghosts and the ghouls and drop into your hands ready for some festive reading. You won't be disappointed. Sarah Morgan's humorous yet touching style shines through just like it does in her other books and you will find yourself wincing, laughing and maybe even shedding a few tears as you make your way through this cheerful and heartwarming exploration of family, friendship and secrets.

This book will have you pulling loved ones closer ahead of the festive season and searching out those friendships and relationships that make this time of year all the more special. And possibly booking flights to Aspen..you never know!! So light the fire, grab your cosiest blanket and a cup of hot chocolate - and enjoy the magical season through Sarah Morgan's latest book.

I applied to read and review this new novel written by Sarah Morgan and I was so happy when my request was accepted. I’ve read most of her back catalogue and recommended everything I have read as an excellent read. I saved it to read on holiday because I knew it would be another much anticipated treat. I was right; the ‘queen of romance’ has delivered again, just as I knew she would. I loved this novel and it made me feel warm and cosy.
This story is about the White family whose dreams had always been for a real white Christmas, literally speaking. It’s the classic dream of many families at this time of year, a traditional Christmas with snow, seeming to make the day even more magical. Father Nick and mother Maggie are looking forward to their two daughters coming home, as they always had, to share the special celebration, homemade food lovingly set on the table and a tree decorated with handmade craft work created excitedly throughout the lives of the children, nestling underneath presents, lovingly arranged and beautifully wrapped, just inviting the recipients to open them. Family Christmases were just the most wonderful family times.
They had their white Christmas, it is true, but it was a totally different Christmas than any of the family could have possibly predicted; they were not at home and one of their cases has been lost in transit – and it was the case that contained all of the presents and decorations for the tree. It should have been a real disaster, but it wasn’t. It was a wonderful triumph. This is their heart-warming story. It is a spectacular read about family dynamics, finding love, embracing the here and now and making beautiful new beginnings. It literally changed their lives forever but they all doubted this Christmas could ever be bettered or even challenged as the best ever.
I received this book through my membership of NetGalley and from publisher HQ in return for an honest review. Thank you most sincerely for my copy. It’s a well-deserved 4.5* review from me. This is a magical Christmas story and will get you in the mood for the final few days before Christmas is here. I think this would make a really fabulous Christmas present – for yourself or someone who loves reading books from this genre. It’s an absolute gem.

Loved this feel good chic lit, not a term I love, but it really is a book that fits the category. Some great engaging characters who I felt I really got to know. Interesting family situations, working through problems, not wishing to give away the plot, all quite believable. Very succinctly wrapped up in a happy ending.

Simply wonderful book. This novel follows one family each of which is hiding their own secret
But all coming together for a wedding in Colorado sees each of them face upto their secrets
What is going on with their parents who are suddenly showing very outrageous displays of affection and their mum telling everyone they are on their second honeymoon, all too cringey for eldest daughter Katie who works very hard as a doctor in a&e but why is she flinching every time someone touches her is there anyone who can break through her tough shell?
And Rosie who is marrying very quickly is she ok as the baby of the family everyone worries about her and want to make sure she isn't marrying the wrong man
But on the plus side it's going to be a very white Christmas

I reall enjoyed ths book. Looked forward to seeing what would happen with Rosie and Dan. I liked the humor as well as tension at times.m

Oh how I love a Sarah Morgan Christmas book! And this one did not disappoint! The White family - mum and dad en route to divorce, elder daughter unhappy in her career as a doctor and in her life, younger daughter suddenly calling from Colorado to inform the family she’s getting married in a month. At Christmas. What a great start to a story. I loved the realistic, relatable characters and how the story progressed. The ending was perfect. Looking for a romantic story - here it is!

An enjoyable wintry romance. Lighthearted and an easy read about a family and their individual romantic lives.
Fundamentally making the point that communication is key to any relationship

I expected this to be just another whimsical Christmas themed wedding chick lit book, but it’s so much more. Each of the characters have their own back stories, and they unfold in unpredictable ways, adding to this book catching me by surprise. Entertaining, funny and a real page turner, it’s a lovely story about family, fulfilment, ambition and happy ever afters. Highly recommended!

A lovely, warm and festive read! This book explores the complex dynamics that exist in most of our families. Really relatable characters, a little predictable but that was part of its charm for me. A story of love in all its forms - partners, new and old, sisters and child / parent. All set in wintry snow covered mountains - a story that gives us it all for Christmas!

I loved this story of a family who on the surface seemed to have it all, but underneath they were all keeping secrets as they thought they were protecting the other family members. A family wedding in Aspen causes things to unravel and truths to be revealed. It’s a book which really draws you in and it’s a perfect Christmas read.

This is a perfect Christmassy read. All the elements are there, snow, lights, trees, bells and romance. There are plenty of ups and downs within the story line all set against the backdrop of the glorious Rockie mountains in winter. The characters are believable and all begin with potentially difficult problems and the story is told from the view of three of these characters, the women from the same family. I've enjoyed Sarah Morgan's books before and hope to again. All the reader needs to do is curl up cosily somewhere this winter and enjoy.

What a perfect winter read. I just wanted to be there, such was the evocative descriptions.
The story follows 3 main female characters. Rosie, the bride to be, rushing into a quick wedding and questioning her decisions. Katie, her older sister, who is evaluating Rosie’s choices when she should be focusing on her own and Maggie, their mum who wants to protect at all costs and maybe the wrong ones. A really good read, very absorbable and the perfect Christmas read.

Great romantic family saga. The Rockies setting is inspirational and the sisters great heroines.
I loved the sun-plots and the dynamic of the family.
Sarah Morgan writes beautifully observed romances and this new winter treat is brilliant.
