This book has it all.

Christmas spirit, a cast of witty characters and of course it is brimming with family, friendship and first loves.

Not forgetting the all important happy ever after.

So where should I start?

First of all we have the lovely Lucy, who is a talented marketing professional. However right now the firm she works for is on the brink of collapse. With rumours of job losses, Lucy is worried because she adore her job, especially after everything she's been through to reach this point in her life.

Then there are the three Miller children, who all live in London but are planning on having a traditional family home in Scotland. Ross runs his own firm, Alice is a successful doctor and Clemmie works as a very sort after Nannie. But each of these siblings have a secret or two they're hiding so this December might be a little more dramatic than any of them are hoping for.

When Lucy decides to bring a marketing proposal to Scotland where Ross Miller lives in a bid to help save her bosses company, she only wants to stop by and drop off the proposal. However a huge snowstorm has other ideas and makes it impossible for her to leave.

All stuck together, it's a question of how much chaos can happen and how many truths will be uncovered? With all the Miller family chaos over the holidays, which secrets will get out, and how will this family cope?


I just adored this story.

Wonderfully uplifting.

Lucy has had her share of grief in her life, starting with her parents dying when she was young, and then her grandmother (who raised her) passing away just two years ago. So I felt hopeful from the get go.

It's one of those stories that just gave me all of the feels.

A case of mistaken identity leading the way for meddling family members and a few Christmas miracles.

Yes there are problems to face but the way they were all approached was wonderfully heart-warming.

The dialogue between all of the characters had me in fits of laughter. A big shout out to Nanna Jean who with her rather unique charm, managed to really a bring the family together in a crisis.

It really is the perfect cosy holiday read and has all the makings of a Hallmark movie.

I'm already counting down the days until Christmas.

If you want to get into the Christmas spirit this is definitely the book. It’s only September and I now can’t wait for Christmas. Perfect Christmas romance with all the trimmings. Though you better have the ingredients for shortbread in the house before you start reading!

This book wasn’t right for me at this time. I’m a mood reader but I’m stuck in a slump right now. I struggled with the long chapters most of all but the read was ok just not my favourite

I'm a sucker for Hallmark like Christmas novels and this one was perfect. The setting is fabulous, Scotland, and the quirky and lovely characters made me wish I could spend some time with them.
Sarah Morgan is an excellent storyteller and this is a festive, heartwarming and compelling story.
Recommended.

Snowed in for Christmas is the most enchanting, heartwarming festive read that had me engrossed from start to finish!
The wonderful Miller family, snow, festive traditions and fare,romance and a fair bit of meddling by Nanna Jean! Makes for a totally relatable read highlighting the usual family tensions, niggles, hierarchy and sense of belonging that is unique to each family over the festive period!
Lucy from London dreads the festive season since her beloved grandmother passed away so spends her time at home alone and working to pass the time, however this year just before Christmas she finds herself snowed in, in Scotland at the miller family home , the three grown up Miller children have arrived for Christmas each with their own secret/ issues which all adds to the festive chaos that Lucy has been drawn into!
Thank goodness for Nanna Jean who is remarkably perceptive, has no filter and loves meddling as she doles out advice and wisdom to her grandchildren and Lucy which totally transformed family dynamics, relationships and leads to much joy and happiness for all concerned!
A truly lovely book that I would highly recommend
Thank you netgalley for this early read.

I was so grateful to get an advance copy if Sarah Morgan’s latest Christmas book! I loved it - even more than last year’s.
The characters were so interesting and diverse, and the story was cute, funny and romantic. I just wanted to be next to the fireplace and the Christmas tree with that wonderful family.
Perfect Christmas holiday reading ... even in September!

What a joy this was to read.

Just what is needed for Christmas.

The characters were well developed and the romance rolled along at a good pace.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

You can rely on Sarah Morgan to write a heartwarming, feel good Christmas book. This was no exception, an easy read enjoyable story set in Scotland at Christmas, a case of mistaken identity and family dynamics add to the enjoyment.

It was a little strange reading a book about being snowed in while the temperature around me was 30 degrees but it was worth it.

Another perfect cosy Christmas read from Sarah Morgan. In fact I would go as far as to say this is my favourite Christmas read from her to date. Snow and romance all set in the stunning Scottish Highlands. Somewhat predictable but this certainly didn't detract from my enjoyment overall. Brilliant characters without any villains, my favourite character really had to be Nanna Jean, growing old disgracefully, says what she thinks and holds a family together when the going gets tough with more than a touch of humour. A definite Christmas book for 2022

When Lucy heads to Scotland with business proposal for Ross Miller an accident brings her closer to him and his family than she could have dreamed.
She is enclaved with them over a snowy Christmas and gets more than she bargained for.
Lovely Christmas read following the ups and downs of family life.
Highly recommend!

I didn't finish this as it wasn't really for me But that doesn't mean it isn't for everyone. It's my first book by this author too and I will try another for sure.

Just couldn`t put it down once I started.
Loved the characters especially Nanna Jean who spoke her mind.
All had secrets which come out slowly through the story., the story was well written very atmospheric and when they all had bacon buttys I just had to get up and make one.
Will definitely read more from Sarah Morgan.

What a wonderful story, I think this is Sarah Morgan’s best Christmas book so far. I’ve loved the storyline, the twists the turns, all the characters, the perfect ending…tears as always…reading it in September and wishing it was Christmas.

Thank you to the publishers the author and to Netgalley for an arc in exchange for an unbiased review

Loved this book, wonderful. The family with unexpected guest for Xmas, couldn’t put it down. The family with trails and tribulations, which is family life. Warming, comfort reading for Christmas. Well done to bring it to life.

Ahhh I loved this book. Who wouldn’t want to be snowed in with the Millers?! To be cosseted and looked after by grandma and the mum, it is certainly what Lucy deserved after so long on her own.
As with all Sarah morgan stories I enjoyed the various threads of the novel as each family member has their own tale to tell. Each intertwined nicely with the others and there was bucketloads of Christmas charm and festive joy. A perfect read on a drizzly day with a large hot chocolate by your side!

Really great read, with well written characters. I love a Christmas themed book (even in the summer!) and as a big fan of Sarah Morgan this did not disappoint!
