Family Crises Surround a Christmas Wedding


Maggie is looking forward to having her family back together for Christmas at Honeysuckle Cottage near Oxford when her impulsive daughter, Rosie calls and upends the family’s plans. She’s getting married at Christmas in Aspen, Colorado in the US. Of course, Rosie wants her parents there. The problem is that Maggie and Nick are waiting for their divorce to be final. Maggie can’t bear to tell the family at the wedding, so she asks Nick to pretend they’re still together.

Katie, Maggie’s older daughter, is a busy ER doctor in Oxford. She’s working too many hours and struggling with an incident that happened at work. She immediately thinks Rosie is making a mistake and is determined to stop the wedding. Rosie, herself, is nervous. She made an impulsive decision to marry Dan. She does love him, but what if it was too quick. She knows she’s impulsive and sometimes it doesn’t work out well.

This is a lovely, heartwarming story of a family overcoming their problems and coming back together at Christmas. The setting at a gorgeous lodge in Aspen is perfect. It’s a wonderful spot for a wedding and healing hearts.

Maggie is a strong character. She wants to hold the family together, but is she making the right decision to divorce Nick? I didn’t care for Katie. I thought she was too sanctimonious and take charge. Luckily, she grew over the course of the story.

This is a great romance in the spirit of Christmas.

I received this book from Harlequin for this review.
