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 about 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 fiance 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.

It is always a joy to read a new book from the queen of Christmas romances, and this was no exception. 

From the moment the family stepped foot in Aspen I was hooked, on the exquisitely described winter wonderland, It felt picture perfect for a white wedding and white Christmas. 

We see the story from three different perspectives. 

Rosie the bride to be, who is rather impulsive and the baby of the family, who is getting married to Dan after knowing him a few short months.  At times you do wonder if she is having doubts, but I generally thought she was perfect for Dan. 

Katie, the prickly older sister who is over protective, and is flying out to try to stop the wedding. She is also hiding something from the rest of her family. 

And there is Maggie, Rosie's mother, who now can't work out when the best time to tell the girls that she is getting a divorce from their father Nick. She is terrified of flying and doesn't want to upset Rosie before the big day.   

So a family with assorted secrets, a meeting of two families, and all manner of fabulous conversations and amusing situations. 

I enjoyed seeing how all three ladies' stories developed, and just what they were hiding from each other.   There was a sizzling romance on the cards for one of them, and old connections being strengthened for another. 

There is a lot going on in this book, and i really did enjoy it all. Unfortunately real life circumstances got in the way of me being able to just sit and read this which possibly lead to my slight feelings of disconnect with the characters.  

It' a great book, just not for me as fabulous as everything else I've read by Sarah Morgan.  It definitely had a lovely wintry feel to it, and was a great story of families and relationships.  Or staying true to yourself, following your dreams and that it is never too late in life to change careers.   

Thank you to HQ and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
