Snowed In For Christmas by Sarah Morgan

 


5 Things I loved about this heartwarming Christmas novel:

✷ It's set in Scotland! 

✷ Lucy Clarke gets snowed in with Ross Miller and his entire family over Christmas. 
(I love that snowed-in trope!)

✷ Nanna Jean's unapologetic outspokenness & advice when it comes to matters of the heart--"because she's 86 and not getting any younger!"

✷ The banter and loyalty between Ross and his two sisters, Alice and Clemmie.

✷ The romance, friendship, and love between Alice and Nico, Clemmie and Fergus, and Ross and Lucy. 


In tone and content, this one reminded me a lot of my favorite Rosamunde Pilcher books. It's all about family, finding love, and having the courage to speak up and tell your truth. This novel is charming and fun, and all the happy endings made me smile. 

Happy Reading!

  2. Oh gosh, I love a 'snowed in' trope too (it featured in Winter Solstice of course) so I'll go and look this one up. Sounds wonderful.

    1. There's just something so fun about the idea of being snowed in...not sure I want to experience it myself, but I do love reading about it. :D

    1. Snow and cold outside is fine when you can stay home and keep warm by the fire. :D

  13. Hi Lark, Never read Rosamunde Pilcher and I know I am missing out. This novel sounds very good too and Nanna Jean is just the kind of character I think I would like. I love Christmas romance novels and every year they used to publish the Christmas Regency romance series featuring 4 well known romance novelists each contributing a story set in the regency period. They were well written too.

    1. I read some of those Christmas Regency romance books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I think you'd enjoy both this book...and any of Rosamunde Pilcher's. :D

    1. It's that whole family/community thing going on that really reminds me of Pilcher's books.
