Thoroughly enjoyed this fun, festive read. I liked how it combined family and relationships. The family dynamics were great, the sibling bickering was brilliant and how they all had each other's back showed how close knit they all were. They were a family anyone would want to be a part of. I enjoyed how we followed different characters and learned all about their lives and secrets and the ending was just perfect.

Lucy Clarke works in advertising and when she they lose two of their main clients, she makes it her goal not to rest until she has won a contract from go getting Ross Miller. Unfortunately he's proving to be elusive so she decides to hand deliver her proposal to his family home whilst on a work trip to Scotland. What could go wrong? She hasn't accounted for his complicated family politics which results in her being drawn into their Christmas celebrations. A joy to read, Sarah Morgan has produced the perfect feel good Christmas story.

Oh what a lovely Christmas read. What could be better than being snowed in in the highlands of Scotland for Christmas with lots of shortbread and a big loving family who love you and embrace you for who you are.
I loved the insta love from Lucy and Ross and then the subsequent match making from nana Jean. There was a lot going on in this story and each character had a lot of emotion to unpack and sort through, I really liked how Douglas did very little and was always somewhere else when things kicked off yet he still gets lots of the credit! 😂 so real life with every dad at Christmas!.
The Clemmie and Fergus storyline really touched me, there moment in the front hall when they couldn’t wait any longer was a simply beautiful expression of their love.
I loved all of this and really wished I was sitting around that Christmas lunch table with them all celebrating.

Christmas is fast approaching for the Miller family which means lots of pressure for the younger members, Ross, Alice and Clemmie who live away from home and are forging independent lives for themselves. Like most families, Christmas brings with it the stress of returning home for a season of questions (albeit well meant!) but Ross, Alice and Clemmie have certain things they don’t want to share yet and so call a “siblings summit” ahead of returning home to discuss what they will and won’t share with the family!

Lucy Clarke is not having the best festive season…she is looking at a solo Christmas following the death of her grandmother and the future of her job, is the glue which is holding her life together, is looking uncertain. It all hinges on getting new clients to join the Marketing firm she works for in particular Ross Miller. Whilst working in Scotland for another client, Lucy decides to hand deliver a business proposal to his family home and at this point, everyone’s lives are upended.

This is a gorgeous story that will warm the cockles of your heart without having to put the central heating on! Sarah Morgan and her Christmas books are something of a tradition now along with mince pies and sherry!
One of my favourite things of all in this book was the wonderful description of the lodge and the scenery – I could see the snow covered hills and mountains and the bridge into the village – I want to go and visit there it sounded idyllic.

I was quite sad when it ended as I wanted the Miller family to live on in my life, I wasn’t ready for it to end and would love to spend a spring, summer and autumn with them too – in fact, can I move into the Loch Room and become their adopted daughter?!

Thank you to #NetGalley and #HQ for my advance copy of #SnowedInForChristmas by #SarahMorgan
Lucy is faced with the prospect of losing her job just before Christmas unless she can land a big account at the advertising agency.
When times are desperate, Lucy will try anything to save her job and the agency.
A great feel good novel. Perfect for the long winter nights.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fun, festive read, perfect for a cosy night in or the Christmas holidays.. Lucy is keen to go the extra mile for her employer, Arnie - he has always been there for her and the company is facing a difficult financial future. In order to win a new account, a few days before Christmas she personally drops off a marketing proposal to the home of business hot-shot, Ross Miller. She fully intends to deliver the proposal and leave, however due to a misunderstanding, Ross's family invite her in, By the time the misunderstanding is cleared up, the weather has turned and Lucy is unable to leave. Meanwhile, Ross' sisters, Alice and Clemmie, have issues of their own... I loved this light-hearted read. Great for fans of Karen Swan and Jenny Colgan.

Another outstanding novel by Sarah Morgan. I absolutely adored it and was actually sad to finish this book, highly recommend it for a lovely romantic bit of Christmassy escapism. 5 stars.

Absolutely loved this! Would have finished in one sitting if life allowed.
Not your typical romance story, lots of twists and turns in all the different relationships, parents and grown children, and new budding relationships. It’s nice to not just see the normal boy meets girl and they fall in love, it includes the ups and down and trials of a relationship.
I will definitely be seeking out more books from this author and have already purchased and gifted copies of this story.
100% put this on your to be read list.

Sarah Morgan's Christmas books always have great characters and also describe beautiful homes and family relationships. Snowed in for Christmas is no exception and I really enjoyed it. From well meaning and interfering older members of the family, to insecure and nervous offspring, this book follows the Christmas week of a family of 3 adult children who return home to Scotland for a Christmas of Shortbread and Snow! A good book to curl up with during the folder months, just enough Christmas theme, but not too much.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love giving away a five star rating recently. I’m just loving everything I pick up! This book was such a cosy read. I now want to go to Scotland and get snowed in haha. This book also inspired me to bake some Christmas tree shaped shortbread! This book was funny, cute, romantic. It also addressed some important issues and problems in life but overall it ended happily for everyone! And I have to say I’m team Clemmie and Fergus all the way!

If you enjoy books written around the Festive season then you will love this! It covers many of the things we all at some point face at what should be one of the happiest times for Family Gatherings even though this is fast becoming a thing of the past so Books like this remind us of how cosy it used to be, it deals with working pressures, love, Family & even grief this last item is something that sadly many of us have to deal with during the festive season . Lucy is the central character & despite injury & other obstacles she battles on. I loved every page . #NetGalley, #GoodReads, #Amazon.co.uk, #FB, #Instagram, #BBC/ Betweenthecovers,#<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/358a5cecda71b11036ec19d9f7bf5c96d13e2c55" width="80" height="80" alt="100 Book Reviews" title="100 Book Reviews"/>,#<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/ef856e6ce35e6d2d729539aa1808a5fb4326a415" width="80" height="80" alt="Reviews Published" title="Reviews Published"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/aa60c7e77cc330186f26ea1f647542df8af8326a" width="80" height="80" alt="Professional Reader" title="Professional Reader"/>.

Cosy and romantic, was like a velvety Christmas daydream.

Lucy is going to be alone for the holidays instead of festive family fun by the fire she is determined to save her job and travels to a beautiful Scottish village in pursuit of Ross Miller a gym owning tycoon who’s contract could save her company.

The Miller siblings are returning home for Christmas reluctantly drawn together by their overbearing parents.

Youngest Clemmie is back for the first time in a while, harbouring a secret love.

Alice has invited her partner Nico but the couple have big questions about their future

And Ross is a workaholic with a fake girlfriend.

When a snow storm and a broken ankle strike Lucy is forced to stay with them for Christmas.

Add in shortbread, snowball fights, an adorable dog & a matchmaking Grandmother & it’s the perfect recipe for a grown up family Christmas.

This is my favourite Sarah Morgan book so far. I loved all of the siblings and Lucy but my favourite character was definitely Grannie Jean, she was funny but also kind and wise. I want her as my new wee Gran!!!

Aside for the the beautifully handled romance elements this is also a story about family and friendship and how sometimes we can become disconnected from those we love the most.

Told from multiple POVs including the mother Glenda which gave a lovely insight into the struggle of a mother to relate to her grown up children.

This one has Christmas movie written all over it.

I just adored this story from Sarah Morgan. A scattered family return to the family home in Scotland for Christmas. A story of going after what you want and if sometimes finding love where you least expect it.

Five stars from me.

A great read. A contemporary Christmas romance with family drama and a big cast of characters.

The story is told from various points of view, which could have felt disjointed, but actually gave a detailed insight into the varying emotions and perspectives. It was clever, well written and fun. Leaving a warm, Christmassy feeling already.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this latest Sarah Morgan tale. It’s another hit for me, beautifully written, great characters. Lose yourself for a couple of hours & enjoy.

What a lovely lovely book. Of course reading it in the heat of Egypt didn’t help!! Lucy is facing Christmas alone so to try and keep her job she prefers to travel to Scotland to pitch her bid. She emails Ross Miller to say she’s coming to do her pitch. She us however mistaken as his girlfriend, the snow comes down leaving them all locked in. Romantic shenanigans ensue, although not all the time! It’s a wonderful Christmas read.

This is a perfect cosy read, perfect for the cold weather. A perfect story to escape into and forget what's going on in the world for a few hours.

If you love Hallmark movies, this is the perfect Christmas novel for you. Think small town location, family stuck together in the snow, first loves, new loves, shortbread biscuits. What more could you want in a festive story?

I read this in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon. It was the perfect tonic after a busy work week and allowed me to escape to a cheerier, snowier place for a few hours. I will certainly be recommending this in the run up to Christmas.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.
