It's a sweet holiday story,
Love the family drama and holiday vibes. It's just a perfect read in december.
Some parts just too sweet and gooey for me, but still a cute cozy read.

I always enjoy Sarah Morgan's books, and this was no exception. It's a fun story with holiday cheer, family drama, and all kinds of romance.

Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for the complimentary digital review copy of this title.

Sarah Morgan is quickly becoming one of my favorite Christmas book authors - her stories are so complex, heartfelt, and engaging, I look forward to them during the season! A Wedding in December was no exception - the complexities of the characters relationships with each other, their individual lives, and how they all intersect, really worked for this book. I couldn't put it down!

This was a sweet holiday romance with all the feels of a great women's fiction. While it's not my preferred genre, I still really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sweet holiday Romance perfect for snuggling up with a warm beverage and cozy blanket this winter.

I love this book and everything about it! It was wonderful! Perfect, cute, and cozy read for the Christmas season. The characters was wonderfully written with good detail and so much personality! Definitely a fun read!

Sarah Morgan has a talent for writing gripping and compelling family dynamics, characters and emotions that feel relatable and in the end stories that leave you with a content feeling. A WEDDING IN DECEMBER delivered exactly that. It’s a heartwarming story about 3 women, a mother and her two daughter. Their mom of the verge of divorce, the youngest getting married and the older sister trying to save her younger sister from making a rash decision by marrying and ruining her life. All this against the beautiful snowy backdrop of Aspen.

I’ve become quite the fan of Sarah Morgan’s women’s fiction novels. I look forward to every one she releases and she doesn’t disappoint. There’s an ease to her stories as we navigate complex situations and emotions. I especially love how they usually center on more than one main protagonist as well but they have a way of circling back and being inter-connected. And like in this case, I adore when they involve family members.

A WEDDING IN DECEMBER is a great story to read during the holidays but also a perfect winter read. Fun in the snow and the stress of a quick wedding. In the end it left me with a smile on my face and seeing everything resolved the way it should be.

I didn’t get to this book when I planned on it but thank goodness I finally did. This book was witty, charming and everything I needed. How come I haven’t read more by Sarah Morgan?!
I loved that this was a family tale and that it was a winter story that wasn’t too christmasy.

Wonderful holiday romance. The setting is inviting and the characters are very loveable. While the plot is somewhat predictable, as are most holiday romances, it in no way detracts from the enjoyment of the book. Sarah Morgan is a wonderful storyteller, especially at Christmas time.

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book.

I read this book last winter and am embarrassed that I didn't post a review before now. I will use my excuses of being pregnant and then COVID, but please accept my apologies.

This was a great Christmas romance and a fun read from Sarah Morgan. I live in Arizona, so I love Christmas romances that transport me to somewhere actually Christmassy. This didn't disappoint. It was cute and offered a great HEA and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely read more from her!

Oh my goodness, this was wonderful!

A Wedding in December is told from the POV of the three White family women: mother Maggie and her two daughters Katie and Rosie. Rosie, the baby of the family who spent much of her childhood very sick and may have moved across the Atlantic partially to escape the eternal smother-style mothering Maggie and Katie tend to employ toward her, surprises everyone when she calls them in late November to say she's getting married. In Colorado. To a man they haven't yet met. On Christmas Eve. Yes, THIS Christmas Eve.

Any family would probably be a bit surprised, even concerned perhaps. Is it too soon? Will everything be ready on time? How can they help from so many miles away?

And yes, some of those concerns are what the elder White women are thinking. But this is a Sarah Morgan book, so you know it's going to be more complicated than that! Maggie hasn't yet told her children that their father moved out months ago and they're planning on divorcing. (And of course *now* isn't the time to tell them, right? Just pause a moment and consider the hoops she might start jumping through to keep them in the dark--and then multiply by at least ten, because Sarah Morgan novel.) Katie, and ER doctor who was running on empty about ten months ago, had a hellish day at work several weeks past and just got through with a different kind of on-the-job difficulty minutes before taking her sister's call, is sure Rosie is moving too fast and buys her ticket to the States with the intention of stopping the wedding altogether. (Yes, she even admits this out loud to her flatmate. And amazingly, hearing it out loud doesn't make her reconsider. Yikes.)

Throw in one of the world's best (if slightly bossy and full of her own issues) future mothers-in-law, the (hopefully) future groom, his frustratingly loyal and gorgeous best friend (who knew the hefting-great-tree-trunks workout was so effective?) and of course, Mr. White himself, and you've got the makings of one heck of a story.

Add in a curious mountain lion, a blizzard, ONLY ONE BED (of course--I mean, you knew that already, didn't you?) and somebody's midmorning delight getting interrupted by--well, almost everybody in the book--and you know this is one book you're not going to be able to put down anytime soon.

I know I wasn't! And I haven't even mentioned the text message at about 94% that nearly had me in tears...

Verdict? A Wedding in December is one holiday book I am so glad I had the chance to read! I'll be counting the days until Ms Morgan gives us her next...

Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I ended up really enjoying this after somewhat of a slow beginning. I nearly put it down, but I'm glad I decided to keep going because a lot happened and we got to follow not one, not two, but three couples whose relationships were put to the test during this whirlwind destination wedding. Set in the snowy mountains of Aspen, Colorado, this book had a little bit of everything, but organized in a way that felt interesting and not scattered. Everyone had a connection in one way or another, and everyone had flaws and things to overcome that made this such a satisfying end.

Definitely one to pick up for a feel good holiday read!

this was a good read, the characters were good and I enjoyed reading this book. It wasn't my favorite genre to read but I still enjoyed this.

I enjoy all of Sarah Morgan’s books and I was excited for this new holiday themed story. This was another entertaining book set in snowy Aspen. I love character driven novels and this is one revolving around a daughter’s hasty engagement. As the family converges for the wedding we learn of all the family dynamics and secrets involved. The parents are separated but keeping it a secret from their daughters and the bride’s sister is very skeptical about the groom and the wedding. I loved the atmospheric writing and how the groom’s mother is given a positive role rather than the trope of overbearing mother in law.

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

Ever since a publicist at Harlequin introduced me to Sarah’s dreamy (and a bit steamy!) series about the O’Neill brothers, I have kept my eyes out for anything she writes. ❤

What I liked:

The cover! So perfect!

Maggie and Nick. While all the characters experience growth and change- I think I loved where Sarah took their story the most.

The ending. Gave me all the good Hallmark vibes.



Bottom line: For me, I really enjoyed this book. It had some great sister moments, some characters that really showed growth and a setting that I could really imagine from Sarah’s description.

I love books set at Christmas, and A WEDDING IN DECEMBER had not only Christmas at its core but also a lot of wedding planning. It was a quick read set in both England and Colorado with wonderful scenic descriptions. The story is told by either Maggie, Katie, or Rosie, and I loved the cover!

I could feel the gloom in England, and it wasn’t only due to the weather. Maggie and Nick are having marital problems and are now living apart, but neither of their grown daughters, Katie or Rosie, have even an inkling about it. Rosie calls from the United States where she’s gone to live for her schooling and drops a bombshell that’s she’s about to be married, and quickly too. Katie’s own life as a doctor is in turmoil, which no one in her family is aware of, but that doesn’t stop her from meddling in her sister’s engagement or her life.

As the family upends their lives to go to Colorado for Rosie’s wedding to Dan, whom they’ve never met, things take an interesting turn. I loved the characters, the wedding planning, and Snowfall Lodge, which is owned by Dan’s family.

Rosie has changed a lot, being on her own. Yet protective Katie finds it difficult to see her as an adult. The story is filled with secrets and romance, family and friends. From Rosie’s parents’ relationship to her sister’s involvement with Dan’s best man, love is in the air. The ending is nicely realized, though I would love to read more about this family in a future book.

Ms. Morgan is an author whose books I’ve enjoyed. I’ve only read a few of them and have added more to my always growing TBR pile!

I love Christmas books. I love Christmas books centered around families. A Wedding in December was a an enjoyable Christmas read that was so while also being realistic. I did tend to get frustrated with some other characters, Rosie, in particular. I sometimes felt like they should grow up. This is also how we can feel about real-life families so although they frustrated me, it added reality. I would recommend this to readers who enjoy a nice sweet Christmas story.

I am so excited to share with you some of the new Christmas fiction books out there for this season. These books are wonderful reads that really take you into the Christmas season. These are available as a download with Kindle, or as a physical book, you can order from Amazon. I have put some Amazon links on this page, if you order from me, I will make a small commission!

I will post Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, some come back and see what I am sharing. If you love Christmas literature like I do, you will not be disappointed!

daughter’s marriage is a milestone they are determined to celebrate wholeheartedly, but they
are hiding a huge secret of their own: they are on the brink of divorce. After living apart for the
last six months, the last thing they need is to be trapped together in an irresistibly romantic
winter wonderland.

Rosie’s older sister, Katie, is also dreading the wedding. Worried that impulsive, sweet-hearted
Rosie is making a mistake, Katie is determined to save her sister from herself! If only the
irritatingly good-looking best man, Jordan, would stop interfering with her plans…

arrived—how can she tell them she’s not sure? As the big day gets closer, and emotions run
even higher, this is one White family Christmas none of them will ever forget!

RATING: 4 STARS
2019; HQN/Harlequin

A Wedding in December is my second novel by Morgan, the first also being a Christmas related story. I enjoy the romance, but it is the storylines with the family that make them endearing fun reads. In this story we have two sisters that are different as night and day but have been close. When the younger sister decided to get married over Christmas, the older sister swoops in to make sure her sister is making the right decision. Yet, she has a secret of her own that she has not shared with her family. Their parents who have always been together are separated but have not told them yet. They arrive arm in arm pretending they are still happily married. I am down to listen/read another book by Morgan...maybe later this year she will put out another Christmas novel.

***I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.***

Such a great story about a family struggling with their lives and how they learn to try and fix them. Parents Maggie and Nick have been lying to their daughters for months. They are not living together and getting a divorce. When youngest daughter Rosie calls with the news that she is getting married, Maggie and Nick decide to pretend that their relationship is fine. Bride-to-be Rosie is confused and a little flighty. She is questioning her decision due to her older sister Katie’s negative comments. Katie is just a mess; she is a doctor who is seriously burnt out and hiding something from her family. Her plans are to break up the wedding to protect Rosie because she believes that she knows what is best for her. The characters are intriguing and just a little broken, but that just makes them easier to associate with. There is a lot of drama in this book, but the family is strong and manages to sort it out in a wonderfully touching story.
