This was my first Sarah Morgan and I thoroughly enjoyed it so it won't be my last!
This story follows three points of view- sisters Rosie and Katie, and their mother Maggie. Each have their own struggles and their own relationship to work through.
I found all of the characters likeable and enjoyed switching between their stories and following each equally. I loved the setting of the lodge in Aspen and could really see myself enjoying a winter holiday there, although I'm not sure I could ever do a Christmas anywhere but home!
Definitely looking to try more by Sarah Morgan, especially her Christmas novels!

When I saw this book show up on NetGalley, I just had to request a copy to review. I have been a huge fan of Sarah Morgan and read many of her previous works already. I’ve never been disappointed with any of her works and this book was no exception.
This was a book of three stories all woven into one as they all involve the same family and how each one impacts the other. Each member of the family have their secrets and their agenda regarding the wedding.
I instantly connected with Rosie, so eager to please everyone that she stopped listening to herself and started listening to the doubts around her. Katie is struggling with PTSD following an incident at the hospital where she works and was injured, but won’t confide in her family. Maggie is struggling to deal with the fact her marriage is ending and doesn’t want to spoil the image both her daughters hold of their parents’ idyllic marriage, especially as Rosie is holding them up as an example of the perfect couple.
As the story unfolds, each woman has to confront the things they are trying so hard to keep hidden from the others, not knowing that they can all learn from and help each other. The story continues to keep you engaged as you wonder whether or not the wedding will go ahead and whether the White family will have their perfect family Christmas after all.
A beautiful setting, an engaging storyline and Christmas in Colorado.

This is the perfect cute but not too sweet-for-the-holidays romance that you might be looking for this Christmas!
I loved the Christmas Sisters last year, so I was excited to read this one for my #MeetMeToRead buddy read this month. I may have let some of the hype get to me, expecting a 5 star read, but it was still cute overall.

A little too Hallmark movie-ish for my taste. Not my thing. Lol

What a cozy, festive, warming read!! I adore Christmas time and reading books about the festive season always gives me a warm glow. This did not disappoint. We follow The Whites, Maggie - the mum and Katie and a Rosie, her two daughters in the lead up to Christmas. Rosie has announced a surprise wedding and everyone will be flying out to celebrate, or in one person’s case, to try and stop it occurring. They all have their own problems and issues that they are trying to keep a secret.
The characters in this book are hugely likeable and relatable. Sarah Morgan also describes the setting perfectly, I’m now desperate to go to Aspen. The plot is interesting, fun, yet not too frothy. This is the perfect book to snuggle up with and get into the Christmas spirit. I’m now off to read more of her Christmas novels!

It felt like a Hallmark movie come to life, and I'm a sap for the holidays. It wasn't overly sappy, but entirely readable, relatable, and lovely. It also made me want to move to Colorado....
