Overview:
“Morgan’s latest Christmas tale will delight readers and give them the perfect excuse to snuggle up for a few hours with a cup of hot cocoa.”—Booklist on The Christmas EscapeAn uplifting novel of friendship, the festive season, and risking everything for the biggest gift of all...
It was supposed to be Christy Sullivan’s perfect Christmas escape – a dream trip to Lapland with her family and best friend, Alix. But facing a make-or-break marriage crisis, Christy desperately needs time alone with her husband, Seb. Her solution? Alix, along with Seb’s oldest friend, Zac, can take Christy’s daughter on the planned Lapland trip, and they will all reunite there for Christmas Day. After all, what are friends for?
There’s nothing Alix won’t do for Christy, but Christy’s plan to save Christmas is testing their friendship. Especially as Alix and Zac have a difficult history of their own.
As long-held secrets unravel, and unexpected romance shines under the Northern Lights, can Christy and Alix find the courage to fight for the relationships they really want? And could this Christmas escape save the precious gift of each other’s friendship?

My Review:
The Christmas Escape
Sarah Morgan
Morgan’s latest Christmas novel is a true treasure about
second chances, friendship and family, the family we’re born into, the family
of the heart and the families we make.
It’s hard to pick the best thing about Sarah Morgan’s The Christmas
Escape because there’s so much to choose from. Take the location, can there
be a better place to set a Christmas story than the Swedish Lapland’s, hunkered
down in a luxury resort surrounded by an idyllic snow globe winter wonderland
and topped off by the Aurora Borealis?
Or take the storyline about reuniting with long lost family, about secrets,
regrets and hopes for the future. Or maybe the characters everyone of whom is
imperative to the telling of this incredible Christmas tale. Or this master
storyteller herself who just gets better and better with each novel. You see it
just doesn’t matter which way you turn The Christmas Escape is this
year’s must read holiday story.
Christy Sullivan is a planner and this year she planned the
perfect Lapland Christmas for her own little family and her best friend Alix
visiting her black sheep aunt who was a taboo subject while her mother was
alive but now one she wants to get to know. But just as it’s time to leave her
husband Seb has an emergency and she needs to stay home for a few extra days. Not
wanting her daughter Holly to miss out on anything also means asking her best
friend Alix to go ahead of them and take care of Holly. And knowing what a
handful Holly can be she also recruits Seb’s best bud Zac to lend a hand.
Alix Carpenter has Christy to thank for her loving Christmas,
in fact if it wasn’t for Christy and her family Alix would have never survived
her childhood, but Christy has no idea about the Pandora’s box she opened
asking both Alix and Zac to look after Holly. Well how could she know because
Alix never confided in her best friend about her past history with Zac. And
Alix isn’t sure she’ll survive this Christmas if she has to spend it in such
close quarters with a man she just wants to forget.
