Description

“Morgan’s gently humorous aesthetic will leave readers feeling optimistic and satisfied.”Publishers Weekly on A Wedding in December

In the snowy perfection of Aspen, the White family gathers for youngest daughter Rosie’s whirlwind Christmas wedding. First to arrive are the bride’s parents, Maggie and Nick. Their 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…

Bride-to-be Rosie loves her fiancé but is having serious second thoughts. Except everyone has 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!

A wonderful holiday romance! As the book opens, Rosie has surprised her British family by announcing that even though she's only been in the United States for a few months, studying for a graduate degree at Harvard, she's managed to meet the love of her life, AND she's getting married at Christmas, which is just a month away. Her fiance's mother is a very successful wedding planner in Colorado ski country, and she's planning the whole thing at the incredibly romantic and picturesque family ski lodge. All Rosie's parents and sister (Katie) have to do is get on a plane and join the festivities. There are a few problems -- Katie is determined to stop her little sister from going through with a hastily planned wedding, and she uses all her over-protective, bossy big-sister tricks to try to split them up. Worse yet, Rosie's parents have been living apart for the last few months. They are about to divorce, but they haven't shared that news with their daughters and they don't want to ruin the wedding. So they decide to pretend that everything is OK between them. In fact, they agree to act as if this whole trip is a sort of second honeymoon for them. Lots of twists and turns on the way to some very satisfying resolutions at the end.

A Wedding in December is one of Morgan's better outings. Fans of Morgan will embrace all of the characters in this story as we see two sisters, best friends, parents, one widowed and one on the verge of divorce.While it may seem the cast of characters is too large, all of them are given strong story lines and it leads to a very satisfying conclusion that does not seem rushed at all.

Another 5 star read from one of my favorite authors, Sarah Morgan.

Weddings are stressful anytime of the year. Have a wedding at Christmas? Quadruple the stress.

For bride to be Rosie White, the stress of her world-wind romance, of her older sister’s apparent disapproval of the wedding, and her parent’s unusual behavior makes her quickly planned Christmas wedding an angsty, asthma inducing time. Add in the fact her soon to be motherinlaw has taken charge of the affair, and you’ve got the beginnings of Christmas crisis.

For older sister Katie White, a gal who knows nothing about love and everything about medicine, and who is dealing with PSTD, this wedding is wrong on every level and she’s going to try an stop it at all costs.

Mom and Dad have their own problems, namely they are divorcing and haven’t yet told their daughters. But Mom Maggie is determined to cause her younger daughter the least amount of stress that she can so her husband Nick and she fake being madly in love and on their second honeymoon.

What happens when these three women’s issues clash and clamor together? A delightful, insightful, inspiring, lovely story about family, sacrifice, letting go and communication.

I simply adore the way Sarah Morgan’s characters pop of the page and into you hearts.

This isn’t a typical Christmas love story, but a story about family and sacrifice, love and commitment.

5 well deserved stars from me.
Thanks to Netgalley for a sneak peek for an honest opinion.

I love Christmas stories and this one is easily a favorite. Well woven family tale with plenty of drama, heat and sweet.
I was sad when it ended, wish it had gone on forever. The beauty of the Colorado Mountains at Christmas time
is well portrayed. The difficulty of life is also so we'll written that I felt myself involved.
Truly a Christmas treat.

Sarah Morgan's voice is always magical as she weaves tales of love, family and ever afters ... but give her a wedding and a winter wonderland to work with and she's pure delight! Her latest brings to life a family filled with uncertainty, change and the unknown as a couple on the verge of divorce comes together for their youngest daughters wedding amid family revelations, rediscovery and unknowns.

The characters are mesmerizing from the start. Maggie and Nick have been married for decades but secretly living apart from each other for half a year without informing their daughters. Now their youngest has sprung a sudden wedding on them and they decide they have to get through the festivities before they can break their daughter's hearts with their news. Oldest daughter Katie is a self-confident doctor who has everyone believing she's in charge of her life when she's secretly falling apart and doubting every aspect she thought she knew in life after an encounter no one knows anything about. Youngest daughter Rosie is madly in love and has stars in her eyes to marry the man of her dreams, but she's always been non-committal and impetuous ... is this relationship truly developed enough to last or is she still just flitting wholeheartedly into her present joy until the next big thing comes along? Her sister's doubts have her starting to doubt herself!

I highly recommend this book to anyone enjoying a beautifully written rendition of the ups and downs of family, love and life. The characters are a joy to read, the scene is painted beautifully as they roam the gorgeous snow covered hills just during the Christmas season and the emotional pull of each story touches a readers heart.

A Wedding in December is a great story. From the beginning I felt as if I were on site with the characters watching the story unfold from a distance. Love romance - this story has it. Love humor - this story has it. Love suspense - there is a bit of that also in this story. Love drama - you can also find that in this story. Sarah Morgan is a great author and I look forward to more new titles authored by her.
