It's amazing how much a surname can help or hinder you in life.
As we join the Swifts for a family wedding their personalities make it immediately obvious it wont be plain sailing. They all learn and grow as people during the book and despite not liking some people at the start I did by the end!
This is a great summer romance.

Adeline and Cassie are off to Corfu for their mother's wedding but they're in for a surprise or two. The two sisters are not very close but maybe this trip might change everything. Secrets are to be revealed but could this bring the family together or tear them apart?

I do love a Sarah Morgan book. They are always full of depth and emotion. This one did not disappoint. I did figure out parts of it but still enjoyed the story and the conclusion. The plot is a steady, easy read. Perfect for the beach. The ending was really well done and tied all the stories off nicely. The writing really captures the beautiful location and the intensity of the scenes. A brilliant summer read.

What I initially thought was going to be just another summer romance book turned out to be so much more. A book about love and family and relationships.

When Catherine sends her daughters an invitation to her wedding, she doesn’t tell them who she is going to be marrying. But when this is marriage number 4, does it really matter? Adeline and Cassie have been estranged for years so having to spend time at their mothers wedding isn’t going to be easy…

A great book that makes you think about romance but also consider the darker side to relationships.

Thanks to netgalley and publishers for arc
Sarah’s books are always easy to read and thoroughly enjoyable and this wasn’t an exception, it follows a romance writer Catherine Swift and her two very different daughters Adeline and Chrissy
It’s also based on Corfu which just makes you feel summery and happy
I loved just falling into this book and it was so easy to read and almost become an extra character in the book

A very enjoyable story that I could have read in one sitting given the chance!
As the story develops and you learn more of the characters you feel you are invested in them, want to know their story and where their lives are headed.
The author really manages to set the scene well and you feel like you are right there, watching the characters.
Would definitely read more from this author.

Finished this last night. Another great read from Sarah Morgan. As a sucker for a good love story, one that has 3 happy endings is definitely my cup of tea. I wanted to read more though. What’s happens with Adeline and Stefanos, does she stay and live happily ever after. I could happily read a book about just those 2. Well done in another great addition to the romance world. Already looking forward to the next book.

This book was sent to me from the publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, where to start…. This is the third book by Sarah Morgan that I have read and I can safely say that every book has been different but very captivating and has kept me hooked.

Catherine Swift, a famous romance writer who has got her secrets about her past relationships that may come to reveal themselves but can she keep her strong relationship with one of her daughters and can she rebuild a relationship with her other daughter.

Cassie Dunn is inspiring to be a romance writer just like her Mother but after the truth comes out about her parents relationship will she still believe in love and will she realise that she may have feelings for her best friend ?

Adeline Swift is a psychologist who can give out advice but when it comes to her own emotions she doesn’t show any and is really cold until she learns the truth about her past and rekindles with a childhood friend that she hasn’t seen for more than two decades.. is it just friendship or has she found what love feels like ?

I would recommend this book to anybody who wants a gripping romance but warning there are mentions of domestic abuse and family issues… I loved this book and looking forward to reading more books by Sarah.

I enjoyed this much more than I expected to. The main character, Catherine Swift annoyed me at first, with her fragile ego. The family dynamics are great, it’s so funny how one’s perception writes one’s history.
There are always three sides to every story- yours, mine and the truth, haha. A recommendation from me, thanks

This was a beautiful story of how difficult it can be sometimes to be a member of a family. Between trying to keep everyone happy, doing your best for them and being yourself, it can be a hard juggling act to keep everything going.

This story is told from the perspective of the three main characters, Catherine and both her daughters Adeline and Cassie. Each chapter gave more information and hints at the truths and hurts that were surfacing due to this happy event about to take place.

It was a wonderful story of hope and love coming in the glorious setting, mostly, of Corfu. This would be a perfect beach read this summer, or at any time of the year when you want to read and feel the summer sun on your face via the words of the book!

I have enjoyed this authors works before and I continue to be a fan as this was a very tender book even though it tackled some tough subjects at times.

I am a fan of this author, her books are great and never disappoint.

I found this book to be just what I was looking to read. The book is set in the lovely Greek island, Corfu. I really enjoyed the setting of this book and it made me want a holiday.

This book is about a summer wedding that is mostly about a mother and two of her daughters that work through their relationship as they had drifted apart.

Whilst it was great to read about their relationship this book was also filled with romance, twists and turns! It was very interesting to read.


I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and I’m so grateful and excited to have read this! This book is set for release on the 25th of May! So here is my non spoiler review.

A very thoughtful story of a romance writer and her two daughters who have had life changing encounters. It's a complicated tale that had me loving every second of it but it accurately shows that even though this is a romance story it's never plain sailing. These three women have different lives with their ups and downs but they all get their HEA.

Yet another super Sarah Morgan smasher!
The family dynamics, the setting in beautiful Corfu, the revelations and chemistry, all collide to produce a brilliant holiday read this summer.
I really enjoyed how Sarah Morgan explored the differences between the sisters, and how important communication is to really understand family perspectives.

This is a hugely enjoyable romantic novel, with a story featuring a successful novelist and her disjointed family.

We see the 2 daughters of the romance writer, very different and living their lives apart. When their mother decides to marry and the family gather for her wedding a huge shock brings them together and then rips them apart.

Well written and with very endearing characters that you are rooting for from the outset. Definitely one for readers of this genre and a great summer beach read.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Catherine Swift is an incredibly successful romance novelist, living on Corfu, about to enter her fourth marriage. Estranged eldest daughter Adeline is uneasy about attending the wedding - her mother sent her away to live with her father when she was very young, something their relationship has never recovered from. Younger daughter Cassie has a secret of her own - how will her mother react when she finds out?

An easy read, with a few twists. I did find it all quite predictable and a tad wordy (many conversations seemed to be repeated unnecessarily). However, the descriptions of the beautiful location and food were a pleasure to read, and it will certainly be a good summer beach read.

Loved this book , a really good one for an easy read on holiday , still a bit of mystery and twists and turns and things that left you wanting to read more and more , couldn’t leave it down… very really well written book that I really recommend.

Well, I wasn't expecting this one to be the way it is! It is not your typical Sarah Morgan escapism kind of book. Summer Wedding explores complicated family relationships involving trauma in one way or another, it might have some triggers for some people as it is definitely a bit 'darker' than her previous books. It is told from three points of view and it is mainly set in Corfu, Greece (which I visited last summer!) and set the summer vibes perfectly. Worth a read, like all her books.

Having read and loved Sarah’s previous book I was delighted to be approved to read this one.
The story of two sisters, estranged from each other, are summoned by their mother to attend her fourth wedding at her holiday home on Corfu. This wedding is unexpected as the groom’s name isn’t mentioned in the letter accompanying the request that her daughters attend.
Adeline gives the invite short shrift - a qualified psychologist turned agony aunt, who’s childhood was changed forever by an affair her mother had leading her to leave Adeline’s father to marry Cassie’s before his untimely death - whilst her sister cannot wait to return home to Corfu to see her beloved mother. But with Catherine Swift, acclaimed romantic fiction writer, is everything ever as it seems?
I loved this book. It was a perfect holiday read yet more gripping than I expected. Would highly recommend.

Sarah Morgan truly at her best. I've been a fan of hers for years. This is a gorgeous book telling the story of Catherine and her totally different daughters Cassie and Adeline.

Brought together on the island of Corfu for Catherine's fourth wedding, all three woman are very different paths. Their lives couldn't be more different but Cassie dreams of following in her mother's very successful writing shoes.

Adeline, on the other hand, hates her mother with a passion. I can see why but at the end of the day, the Catherine then and now are so different.

So the question is: with a new stepfather on the horizon and Catherine about to make a huge career change (Cassie too) can these three woman find their bond once again?

I've read a few of Sarah Morgan's books, particularly Christmas themed ones and have always enjoyed them.

I enjoyed this book, it was an easy read about family dynamics and changes within families, something we can all relate too on some level. However I felt that the storyline was quite predictable, I figured out quite early on about some of the key aspects of the book which weren't revealed until mid way quite late in the book. It did feel to me like the storyline wasn't really going anywhere but this could be just because I had figured out the plot.

Saying this, I still enjoyed reading it. I liked learning about each of the characters and seeing their lives change for the better and becoming different people. I also enjoyed the cross over of romantic stories, for me this was your typical romance novel and there was plenty of it to go around.

If you are a Sarah Morgan fan then this is one to add to your list.

My rating:
⭐⭐⭐

A proper summer beach read!
Sarah Margan never fails to drew you in and this book takes the reader to Corfu, and you do feel the emotions of the characters.
Could be her best yet
Thank you netgalley
