When Adeline receives a wedding invite to her mother’s fourth marriage on the island of Corfu, she despairs and makes the decision not to go, until her father, talks her round! Adeline’s half sister Cassie lives life through the pages of a romance novel the type that her mother, bestselling romance author Catherine Swift writes and she can’t wait for the nuptials.
The invites though hold a secret…who is the mystery groom and why all the secrecy behind him?

This story is told from the perspective of the two daughters and their mum, and although you will probably guess the twist (I did!) it certainly doesn’t distract from the story and the wonderful description of Corfu and it’s scenery.

I initially started this book and then stopped it and read another book in between and now looking back I’m not sure why I did that because when I returned to it, I couldn’t stop reading it!! I also read this when I was lying in bed with Covid, and it transported me on a holiday to Corfu exactly when I needed it – was a wonderful medicine.

Thank you Sarah Morgan for seeing me through Covid with such great escapism!

I love Sarah Morgan book’s and this latest one doesn’t disappoint!

I love that with Sarah’s book you feel that you know the characters personally and that you have visited the setting in the book.

This latest book follows another so typical family, mum and dad are divorced and don’t speak children that resent spending time with them.. mum has been remarried several times and is currently planning her next wedding. Surely another wedding can solve this families issue !

Well I love that. It makes you feel all families are dysfunctional and it makes you think that you have to accept each other differences because if we was all the same life would be boring..

If you get the opportunity to read this book it’s a must !

Given the title you would think it would be an easy beach read... Think again! It deals with challenging issues. Adeline and her half sister Cassie have been invited to their mothers fourth wedding in Corfu! Both are apprehensive because neither know who the groom is?! Addy spent her childhood with her father and Cassie with their mother (her father died).. To say they are polar opposites in terms of personality and characteristics would be putting it mildly! neither is looking forward to the upcoming wedding of the famous Catherine Swift but for different reasons. Once they are both on the island of Corfu the plot thickens, especially when they find out who the mystery groom to be is. Lots of skeletons come out of the closet in this one.

The pace soon quickened up on this one and didn't stop! Love reading this novel reminded me of the very hot summers in Crete and Rhodes! Highly recommended especially if you love romance novels with secrets lurking in the past. Many thanks for letting m e read this novel and I will be looking out for more from Sarah!

This book was sent to me as an e-arc from netgally in exchange for an honest review!

Catherine Swift is a best selling romance author, but her own personal romantic stories haven’t quite been as successful. Three failed marriages left her relationship with her daughters complicated. Catherine is getting married again in Corfu, but will this wedding finally bring the family back together again?

What a delightful book. This is my second book of Sarah Morgan’s and I absolutely loved it.

The story line kept me hooked the whole way through, I didn’t want to put it down as I wanted to find out what happened next. I loved that it was a happy ending to the book but a happy new start for the characters. Sarah beautiful depicted the views of Corfu and made me want to return, after a holiday there last Summer.

This story is so much more than just a summer wedding, it is about family relationships, romantic relationships, and embracing life for what it is and all that life has to offer. A really wonderful book which I would recommend to everyone who loves a nice romance read!

Fabulous…. Loved the characters and the empathy that emerged after the plot thickened. The twist was awesome and kept the story alive. The description of the surround holiday theme took you back to sunshine and wam days by the sea.
A got to read book, bring on more!

Summer Wedding is definitely a book to remind you not to judge a book by it's cover. The cover art suggests you might find a light hearted beach read within it's pages however as the story unfolds it becomes the complete opposite. Summer Wedding is told from three perspectives - the bride and her two daughters, Adeline and Cassie. The story begins with the two daughters recieving an invitation to their mothers upcoming wedding to a mystery groom, as this will be their mothers 4th wedding the girls are naturally apprehensive about who is after their mother this time. The sisters are polar opposites and have a somewhat estranged relationship in the beginning but over time and as they learn of the events in their history that have led them to this day they are able to mend what once was broken. The mother is an author and is a very successful romantic novelist who has created powerful stories not only in her fictional works but in reality also, the fairytale world she has created is about to come crumbling down as her dark secret bubbles away underneath and the girls finally uncover the truth about their childhoods.

I really enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading more from Sarah Morgan

I absolutely loved this book. Although it feels wrong to say that when it deals with such challenging issues as childhood emotional traumas and the resulting impact on adult emotional behaviour.

Adeline and Cassie are invited to their mother’s wedding at her home on Corfu. This is Catherine Swift’s fourth wedding and neither daughter knows the identity of Catherine’s husband to be. Adeline’s relationship with her mum isn’t good. Its distance caused by Catherine sending Addie to live with her dad once new baby Cassie comes along following her relationship with Cassie’s dad - the love of her life.

The setting of this book, Corfu, in Catherine’s gorgeous home, is wonderfully well described. It sits alongside the fractured relationships of the family and balances everything out beautifully.

If I have a complaint, it’s that early descriptions of Adeline and Cassie’s emotional states seem very extreme. Adeline is apparently devoid of deep emotion, seeing everything on a practical level, including her relationship with her boyfriend.

Cassie, meanwhile, is a complete romantic, waiting for her own coup de foudre, to the extent she misses what’s under her nose. They are a little infuriating!

Once I got over that, and the initial reveal is over, I just enjoyed the story more and more.

Yes, Sarah allows you to see what’s coming (although there are some surprises) and there could be a touch more Maria but all in all, I really liked this story and found its emotional insight quite moving.

Thanks to the publishers for an early copy.

I’ve been a fan of Sarah Morgan’s books for a while and immediately found myself immersed in Summer Wedding. It’s set on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu and you are instantly transported there. The descriptions, the food, you can almost smell the tang of the sea l, feel the heat of the sun and taste the delicious spanokopita. Catherine Swift is a successful romance novelist but with three failed marriages, it seems she’s not very lucky in love. Still with marriage number four on the horizon, she invites her daughters, Adeline and Cassie out to her Greek villa to help celebrate her latest nuptials. Relations with both daughters can be quite strained but she’s hoping this wedding wi bring the family back together. It’s a novel full of family secrets, about forgiving, building relationships, love and hope and I enjoyed every page. Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and the author for the chance to review.

I found Summer Wedding to be a really easy to read book with a focus on family connects and some romantic links developed along the way. The story focused on the complex relationships of two sisters, Adeline and Cassie along with their mother, Catherine. Events from the past have caused a great deal of unresolved tension but the family are brought together by a summer island wedding. Whilst I found the book a quick, easy read I also felt a little frustrated by some of the characters who could have solved many problems by communicating better. It was an idyllic setting and sweet ending.

Another great book from Sarah Morgan a real insight into family secrets and lies. The story is about Catherine Swift a successful author who lives in Corfu and is getting married for the 4th time and invites both her daughters.
Adeline is her first born daughter and Cassie is the daughter of the man her mother had a affair with and left Adeline's father to marry.
Adeline decides to attend the wedding so she can confront her mother as to why she sent her away, Cassie just wants to see her half sister again. I felt sorry for Adeline as she has so much anger towards her mother whereas Cassie is easy going.
This story tugs at your emotions as lies are unfolded and the truth comes out which leaves the family in turmoil but keeps you guessing what will happen next with surprising results.
Would highly recommend and can't wait for the next book.
Thanks to NetGalley & HQ for a ARC for a honest review.

I’ve read a few books by Sarah Morgan now and they never fail to disappoint! In this book we get to follow Catherine who is getting married for the 4th time, but her two daughters have different opinions about this. Adeline is not happy but Cassie is over the moon that her mum is getting another chance at romance. The story really portrays how their relationships grow over time and I really enjoyed this! Overall I thought it was the perfect holiday read and I’ll definitely be recommending it to my friends!

I do enjoy Sarah Morgan books and especially the relationships she creates between the characters. Catherine is getting married for the fourth time at her villa in Corfu. Her two daughters have different opinions on this. Adeline is not happy about it as her mother's previous affair resulted in her half sister Cassie being born. Cassie on the other hand, think it is romantic and wants her mother to be happy. As they gather on Corfu before the wedding, things come to a head. It's a great summer read and very enjoyable. Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Another fab read from Sarah Morgan. Touches on complicated family relationships, the impacts of secrets and lies, particularly on children right through to adulthood and ultimately had a happy ending.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

Bestselling romance author Catherine Swift is getting married again and can't wait for her two daughters to meet her future husband. She invites them to spend 2 weeks with her at the family home on Corfu to celebrate the wedding. Unfortunately, the two women could not feel more differently about the upcoming celebrations.
Adeline is amazed that her mother is still behaving like one of the characters in her books, believing in a happy ever after and is reluctant to attend. Cassie is excited and pleased that her mother hasn't given up on love and is hoping it will be 4th time happy for her.
Adeline and Cassie have very little in common and rarely see each other but they are both in for a shock when they discover who the 4th Husband will be.
As they come to terms with their mother’s decision it will make them question things about their lives that they previously took for granted.
Could the one person they have never agreed about, their mother, be the one to inadvertently bring them together and help them finally bond.
Set on the sun soaked island of Corfu, this story of family, long held secrets and hidden memories is the perfect escape this summer.

This is only my second Sarah Morgan novel, and something which I need to change because I have loved both of them! Neither were what I was expecting - I assumed they were romance novels but they're more than that, they're about people and relationships with friends and family as well as the romance element.

This particular one had me hooked from the start. It follows romance author Catherine Swift, who has just informed her two daughters that she's getting married for a fourth time. Adeline is unhappy with the news, while her romantic half sister Cassie is excited! However, right from the start we find out that Adeline and Cassie aren't close and find spending time together awkward. It was from then on that I became invested in their relationship, and the reasons behind all of this. I don't want to give too much away because there are a lot of secrets in the book that are best to read as you go, but seeing how all the relationships developed, especially Adeline and Cassie's, was really nice.

I really did enjoy this book. There's sun, sea, a summer wedding, romance, but there's also much more to the book than that. There are some more difficult issues and it just made you want to keep reading to see if they all got their happy endings.

Thank you so much to Sarah Morgan, HQ, and Netgalley for the arc of this book!

(A review is also going to be posted to Instagram in the next few days! 😃)

I enjoyed this story as it was so much more than a romance. It spoke of family distanced from each other, family secrets and more. It was a substantial read that made me smile and feel close to tears at times.
The characters were interesting and charming, Catherine was a very emotional person, forever the romantic, Andrew her ex was going his own way in life and enjoying it but still holding a torch for Catherine, Aderline, their oldest daughter was withdrawn, always in control of her emotions and never in situations she wasn't happy to be in and finally Cassie, their youngest daughter, was cheerful, always saw the good in people and always optimistic. There were also three other main characters, Maria, Catherine's long time friend, Stephanie, Maria's son and Aderline's childhood friend and finally Oliver, Cassie's best friend. Together, they made a story come to life but the main message was second chances can come around when you least expect it!!.
I received this free ARC book for an honest review.

Sarah Morgan once more gifts us a romance story that is more than just your average romance story. This book explores some deeper issues while also delivering on the kind of feeling you'd want from a romance novel. I personally also loved that our main character was a writer, i love books about books.

A bestselling romance author about to marry for the fourth time. Her two daughters, one estranged, one not, travelling to Corfu for the wedding. A lot of history about to be re-examined...
Having three separate points of view could get too confusing, but Sarah Morgan balances them very well, subtly highlighting the different ways Adeline, Cassie and Catherine view the same events and carefully doling out snippets of information about their shared past. I admit that I saw most of the plot twists coming, but that didn't prevent me enjoying the wahy they unfolded. This is a love story that examines love in its many facets: between parents and children, between friends, as infatuation, how it changes as people get older, and (in a rather meta kind of way) how what's depicted in fiction bears little resemblance to real life. A very enjoyable and engrossing read.

Sarah Morgan has done it again! Her books never fail to make me happy and this was a fun time throughout.

It took me a couple of chapters to get into this story but then I was hooked. It is a fascinating look at life and the choices we make. A family gather for a Wedding on the Greek Island of Corfu. Two step sisters who never really got along find a new connection following revelations about their past. We hear about the many sides of falling in and out of love. Is there really someone out there for everyone and If so how do you know when you find them?
