#Giveaway #HoHoHoHarlequinHoldiayExtravaganza Sarah Morgan The Christmas Sisters


Way back in 2010 when I started reviewing for RT Magazine is when I first read and fell in love with Sarah Morgan. She wrote fantastic HQN series novels then, now she writes the most beautiful, heartfelt women's fiction that I've ever read, her stories always have such heart and her characters are so genuine you want them as friends and her latest, The Christmas Sisters, is her best yet.  Let's head to the Highlands of Scotland and learn about the book then settle down for a letter from Sarah.

In the snowy Highlands of Scotland, Suzanne McBride is dreaming of the perfect cozy Christmas. Her three adopted daughters are coming home for the holidays and she can’t wait to see them. But tensions are running high…

Workaholic Hannah knows she can’t avoid spending the holidays with her family two years in a row. But it’s not the weight of their expectations that’s panicking her—it’s the life-changing secret she’s hiding. Stay-at-home mom Beth is having a personal crisis. All she wants for Christmas is time to decide if she’s ready to return to work—seeing everyone was supposed to help her stress levels, not increase them! Posy isn’t sure she’s living her best life, but with her parents depending on her, making a change seems risky. But not as risky as falling for gorgeous new neighbor Luke…

As Suzanne’s dreams of the perfect McBride Christmas unravel, she must rely on the magic of the season to bring her daughters together. But will this new togetherness teach the sisters that their close-knit bond is strong enough to withstand anything—including a family Christmas?

A Holiday Message from Sarah:


A Sarah Morgan Christmas

For me, Christmas is all about family. We lead busy lives, and this is the time we all get together. I love the scents, flavours and routines of Christmas; the comfort of conversation, long walks in crisp, cold weather, snuggling indoors in front of the fire. When I look back to my childhood Christmases, my best memories aren’t about gifts, but about special moments. I remember waking up ridiculously early and trying to persuade my more sensible older sister to wake up too, stepping outside my bedroom in the dark and feeling a lumpy stocking rub against my leg, breathing in the scent of turkey roasting, being charmed by the flicker of delicate fairy lights. It was always a magical time.

Like many families, we have our own traditions, but my favourite is choosing the tree. We go to the forest and I always pick the largest tree possible. It’s usually frosty and cold and we sip hot chocolate to warm up while we argue about which tree is the prettiest shape (and the biggest!). Once home, we decorate it together using an eclectic mix of decorations accumulated from various travels over the years. I confess I also use decorations the children made when they were young. You can’t beat a baked star!

Another tradition for me is writing a Christmas story. I have written a Christmas story every year since I was first published and in many formats, including Medical Romance, Harlequin Presents, a Cosmo red hot read, single title and now standalone fiction. I can’t imagine not writing one. The festive season provides endless scope for exploring drama and conflict in family relationships, and a winter setting creates a cosy intimacy that adds something special to the story. As well as writing, I love to read. As the weather turns colder it’s the perfect time to curl up in front of the fire with a book. Reading is the perfect antidote to seasonal chaos.

However you spend the festive season I wish you health, happiness and wonderful reading.


Love Sarah
