It was supposed to be Christy’s perfect escape - a much longed for, dream trip to Lapland for Christmas with her family and life long friend, Alix. But as a crisis looms over her marriage, Christy must forgo the trip as planned and spend some much needed time alone with her husband.
The plan? Alix will take Christy’s daughter to Lapland alone.
Alix will do anything for Christy, but her plan to save Christmas might just put their friendship to the test. Especially when Christy reveals, her husbands best friend Zac will be accompanying them.
As secrets unravel and romance blossoms under the spectacle of the Northern Lights can Christy and Alix find the courage to make this the best Christmas escape?
Sarah Morgan has such a talent for creating atmospheric and enchanting backdrops for her stories, and in this latest offering Sweden proves to be no less than perfect!
What could be more festive than snowball fights, sled rides and searching for the quintessential Christmas tree? Throw in some wonderful characters, some laugh out loud moments and the occasional saucy moment and you have the ultimate Christmas novel.
I raced through this book, as I do with all Morgan’s titles, and enjoyed every single page until I got to the end where I was hit with disappointment and regret that I hadn’t savoured it a little more.
Whilst there is some romance, this is not at the forefront of the story. It is more focussed on the complexities and shifting dynamics of friendship and families, and shows the hard realities of miscommunication.
This is a must for any reader looking for some Christmas cheer and I can’t recommend it enough for the festive season!
