When Rosie rings her mum on Thanksgiving to announce that she is getting married -at Christmas no less- the news sends the whole family into turmoil. Mum, Maggie and dad, Nick have been hiding the fact that they have separated and are heading for divorce and elder sister Kate has been avoiding her whole family as she falls apart. Maggie and Nick head for America pretending that they are still happily married, not wanting to upset Rosie’s view of their ideal marriage, while Kate flies out fully intending to stop her sister making the biggest mistake of her life.

A Romcom with added humour in a perfect winter setting - ideal to make you feel Christmassy!

When Rosie announces to her family that she’s getting married on Christmas Eve (just 4 weeks away) in Aspen, Colorado, to Dan who she’s known for just a few months, they all make plans for an unusual Christmas. But everybody has secrets they’re hiding - parents Maggie and Nick have been living apart for some time and are considering a divorce, sister Katie is unhappy with her career as a doctor and is still recovering from being attacked, and even the bride to be, who thinks she may be having doubts. Will the family sort out their problems and will the wedding even take place?

A good story, all set against a stunning backdrop of Aspen in the snow, with a strong cast of characters. I would have preferred the details of Katie’s attack being given earlier in the book - there were too many vague references for my liking. I had almost given up interest in what had actually happened.

Overall I enjoyed reading the story and would recommend it to fans of romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I loved this book. It joined both of my favourite things: romance and Christmas. I’ve only recently being reading more romance books and this certainly didn’t disappoint. I loved the story and the characters and felt myself rooting for them throughout! Loved it.

A Wedding In December by Sarah Morgan is a most delightful contemporary novel about love and family.
Families are complicated affairs with interactions that are constantly changing. The novel focuses on a family that is coming apart at the seams as everyone tries to cope alone, keeping secrets from others. A change of scenery brings more than just a new location.
The novel explores identity. Too often our identity is tied up in what we do instead of who we are. “Did her mother even have dreams?” has to be one of the saddest utterances… a character is more than just a mother. She has hopes and dreams too. We are never too old to dream.
Where our heart is, there lies our fortune. “Not all people were motivated by money and status. Some were motivated by love.” The richest people are those who love and are loved.
Snow covered Aspen is the setting for the novel. It comes alive with Sarah Morgan’s comprehensive descriptions. The reader catches the festive atmosphere.
Sibling love is a strong bond. The love and care for her sister had motivated a career choice.
Walling up a heart to prevent hurt never works. “Every time you love someone you risk getting your heart beaten to a pulp.”… but isn’t it better to risk love than to live in isolation?
Sarah Morgan has created a delightful set of characters. We experience life through the alternating eyes of a mother and her daughters. All are wonderfully drawn and easy to empathise with.
A Wedding In December is a perfectly charming novel with realistic characters battling realistic problems. The backdrop of snow and log cabins gives a wonderful ambiance. It is a perfect read to get you in the festive mood.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Fantastic book with great characters and twists thrown in for good measure. Feel good book for Christmas.

Maggie is woken in the night by a phone call from her youngest daughter, Rosie. Panic grips her as she is reminded of all the emergency calls she has received due to her poor health, but this time she’s ringing with good news she’s engaged and is going to be married THIS Christmas in Aspen. Maggie hides her apprehension, she’s been planning her Christmas at home for months, it’s a family tradition and has to make an excuse when Rosie asks to speak with her Father. Their children don’t know they have been living apart for the last 6 months. The call to her sister, Katie, catches her in the midst of the stress of a busy casualty shift which removes Katie’s brain filter and plants doubts into Rosie’s mind and makes Katie determined to fly out to Aspen to stop her sister’s impulsive plans. Another gem from Sarah Morgan we are transported to the snowy mountain scenery and can enjoy the unfolding drama and joy. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this story. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Wedding in December is a lovely story of relationships and reflections on the past, along with hope for the future. It was slow to start with but once it picked up, I couldn’t put it down. A really good book to curl up with on a dark night.
Thank you NetGalley for the option to review.

This festive wedding story from Sarah Morgan is every bit as lovely as you would expect from this lovely writer. I couldn't put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this lovely book in exchange for an honest review.

I have read a number of novels by Sarah Morgan and this one did not disappoint. The setting in Aspen in the winter was beautifully described, made me want to visit and experience the snow! The characters were human with all of its frailties and the plot skipped along nicely. A book to sit and read in front of a roaring log fire on a cold day. Definitely recommended.

My thanks to Netgalley for my copy of A Wedding in December. If you've read any books by Sarah Morgan (and there are many) you'll know exactly what to expect; a high standard story with obviously larger than life characters who still manage to retain characteristics that we can all relate to and a plot that's not too cheesy with, of course, a happy ending. Perfect holiday escapism.

What a great book about family and the secrets they keep. The descriptions of Aspen in december make it sound like a winter wonderland. A great feel good book perfect for the Christmas winter season.

When Sarah Morgan writes a novel you know it is going to be a great read and this one is no exception. The joining of families by marriage should be a wonderful time but then families have big secrets. Sometimes these cause problems others help the situation but you can never be sure. The joining of two countries as well as families lead to a lovely book that you wont want to put down. I recommend you read this for yourself as soon as possible.

Seasonal Wedding In Aspen....
A seasonal wedding in Aspen - a snowy wonderland in December - and the White family gathering. Amidst the beautiful landscape and the unadulterated luxury that is on offer, family dramas take precedence in the run up to Rosie's wedding. Secrets, lies and doubts abound and emotions run high. Several threads in the storyline, credible characterisation and swiftly moving this is a warm and wonderfully festive, escapist Christmas read.

Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for an arc in exchange for an honest review. 

I think Sarah Morgan is becoming a firm favourite where chick lit is concerned. This is another funny, heartwarming novel showing relationships between a family. The novel is set in Aspen so it's a very Christmassy setting.
Once again Sarah Morgan has kept me up well past my bed time, which doesn't happen very often!
Would definitely recommend to everyone.

What a fabulous, curl up under a blanket read!
Sarah Morgan has captivated the audience again with snow capped mountains, log cabins and a wedding, what more could you want?
The characters are relatable, Rosie, who is getting married, after a whirlwind romance, then her sister, Katie, an exhausted doctor who has had a recent trauma and their parents who are keeping secrets of their own.
All issues are addressed when they arrive in Aspen.
The story had me gripped right from the beginning until the very satisfactory, all ends tied, finish.
Recommend this along with all Sarah' Morgans books!

My annual Christmas read from Sarah Morgan and I'm not disappointed
Sarah Morgan's latest festive release is a little different, told from multiple points of view and as the author notes, so many twists, and turns. Yes, it's different, but the story is told so well that you will be enraptured until the end. Strong characters, intriguing plots, and majestic scenery. Definitely worth taking the day off of work to read.
My thanks, as always to #HarperCollins and #Netgalley and Sarah, herself, for giving me the opportunity to review #AWeddingInDecember.

This is a story mainly about the relationships between family members and how this can have an effect on others. I loved the description of the setting in Aspen, it really made me want to visit! I can’t say I liked the character of Katie, the older sister. I felt she was overprotective of Rosie, she was interfering and had no thoughts of other people’s feelings. She did redeem herself slightly towards the end but then she needed to. All the other characters were very likeable. This was an enjoyable read and it kept my interest until the end. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another wedding story - yes Xmas seems to be the season for it... here with a sister who is a cynic and firmly determined to stop her flaky sister from going through with it. This sister cynic is also an A&E doctor (Emergency Room for US readers), and this really influences her view on life as she so often sees the train wrecks of lives that women have made with hasty marriages and unsuitable husbands who are lovely until the ring is on their finger!
The sister’s romance was a trifle predictable from the very first moment of meeting and rather unexceptional which down-grades the book from 4 to 3.5 stars.

I adored this christmas romantic story. Three stories in one with Maggie rediscovering love, Katie finding love and Rosie committing to love. Set in Colorado, the atmosphere is sublime for a winter wedding. The characters were likeable, interesting but flawed in a good way. One of Sarah Morgan's best reads. I would recommend. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.

I enjoy reading Sarah’s book that comes out this time of year, as it makes me feel Christmas is on the way. Families all have their own role within in family and don’t even realise what it is most is the time. This book makes you look at relationships and realise it’s ok to come out of your comfort zone now and again and that your friends and family won’t think badly of you for doing so. This is a lovely Christmas story written in a way that makes me want to jump on a plane and go there for Christmas myself. As well as having the Christmas theme it also makes for thought provoking reading about the way lives go and do we get too comfortable in our relationships sometimes maybe we need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture now and again. I loved the story of the White family and their struggles to try and do the right things for their family not realising that some of those things aren’t quite right. I highly recommend this book.
