Very sweet romance. I really enjoyed Harriet and Ethan. The romance felt natural, easy-breezy.
It was well written and well paced. Not much happened beside Harriet and Ethan slowly falling in love but that was fine with me.

Harriet is a quiet wreck. Her entire life has been turned upside down and she is searching for her own happiness. Quite hilariously. I enjoyed her story
and her journey. She finds strength and a sense of self. She also finds Ethan. I loved Ethan. The story is delightful. The cast of characters and dialogue we're both wonderful.

I have loved everything that sarah Morgan has written. I love the settings and the characters. Her writing grabs me from page one and I hate to put her books down

And we get book number six in the From Manhattan with Love series and the last book in the Knight siblings storyline. We previously met Harriet in the first few books in the series and now it's her turn. And it is just wonderful! It has New York, it has Christmas, it has Vermont and of course, it has dogs! Plus, Harriet's partner in this fantastic story is Ethan Black who well basically is the whole package. I find all of Sarah Morgan's book a really worthwhile read not just for the cute storyline and the very witty and often humorous dialogue but also for her great characters. She manages to craft all these personalities that become all too real for the readers that you cannot help but either laugh with them or cry. Harriet is especially marvelous, her journey to figure out life by herself is brave which makes Ethan's attraction to her self-explanatory. Moonlight Over Manhattan will delight readers and will make you root for these two to really get their happy ending.

I loved this story. Harriet and Ethan WOW! I so didn't want this to end because it was perfect from start to finish. Watching her grow beyond her siblings and fears and his thawing out from his job could have been harsh but instead it was beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful book.

This continues Sarah Morgan’s enjoyable series about the Knight siblings who are trying the psychological harm of their father’s cruelty. This story involves Harriet Knight, the twin sister of Fliss who was featured in Holiday in the Hamptons.

Harriet suffered so badly from their father’s constant verbal abuse that she developed a severe stammer and a deep feeling of being unworthy. She’d been protected all her life by her siblings, but now they’ve found true love and she wants to step out on her own. She’s trying to build her self-confidence by doing something every day that she has previously been afraid to do.

Eventually, this woman who has helped build a successful dog-walking business in Manhattan is hired to care for the dog that dreamy Doctor Ethan Black is watching for his sister. He knows nothing about dogs and spends all his time working in the emergency room. And, of course, he has his own problems with falling in love because he has so desensitized himself from caring in order to survive his tough job.

What I really enjoyed in this book was experiencing the growing confidence of Harriet as she undertakes challenges and reaches for what she wants. She is not willing to settle for less than she now realizes that she deserves. And she’s so kind-hearted that she can’t help comforting the lonely people and the dogs she takes care of. She starts out seeming pretty weak and fearful and ends up demonstrating admirable inner strength.

Ethan also changes as the book goes along. He seems harsh and intolerant at first, but he is actually an extremely kind and caring man who has just lost that part of himself.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope that Morgan will continue writing about this little fictional Manhattan universe she’s created.

I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Morgan has done it again : taken my heart in her hand and delivered another fabulous romance!
Professional dog walker Harriet Knight has always been the shy, stammering twin of the Knight sisters. But not anymore. At almost 30 she is determined to break out of her shell so she adopts her own mantra of Challenge Harriet where she forces herself to do one terrifying, challenging thing daily.
Ethan Black has seen the worst life has to offer at his job of Emergency room doctor, but nothing prepares him for the absolute terror he faces when he agrees to watch his sister's dog for a few days.
The cute meet here is a humdinger and things between these two just keep on getting better from the first page to the last.
I lovelovelove Sarah Morgan's books and this was a great Christmas present in August to receive from Netgalley for an honest review.
Harriet's quest to be a braver woman and reach out and grab life by the b**ls is the perfect way for her to finally realize what everyone else as has always known about her: she is brave and always has been. Harriet is a great heroine and I simply fell in love with her in the previous "Manhattan" books so I'm thrilled she got her own book in which to find her HEA

A book with Sarah Morgan's name on it is an insta-read for me. I was so looking forward to reading her next installment of this series, and it did not let me down.

Harriet is near-cripplingly shy with strangers. Which wouldn't be that big of a deal, except a) she lives in Manhattan, b) she co-runs a dog-walking business, and c) she has recently decided to throw herself out of her comfort zone and do stuff that scares her. Oh, and she also deals with a stutter that emerges when she's scared/uncomfortable. Basically: Harriet rocks. She's interesting, well-written, has a wonderfully complicated history, and goes against type of these sort of contemporary urban romances (when's the last time you read a rom-com-drama book set in the city starring a SHY heroine?).

Ethan is equally cool. He's a high-octane ER doc who struggles to balance an honest love and concern for people with the need to be untouchable to get through the day emotionally unscathed. Oh, and he works with a kick-ass doctor named Susan who nearly steals the entire book.

Suffice it to say, I LOVED THIS STORY. I wished I could be friends with Harriet, wished I could date Ethan, and wished I could be Susan. And I also want to live in Ethan's place, cause it rocks.
