A stunning romance where the past meets the future, but causes complications along the way. With believable.characters and a gorgeous backdrop this is a glorious read for a lazy weekend.

A really enjoyable read with a bit more to it than a typical chick lit romcom story! Descriptions of Corfu made me want to travel there immediately! The dynamics between mother and two daughters was really well told as was the relationship between the two sisters. I would happily recommend this to my friends and look forward to reading it again!

I loved the different P.O.V of each individual characters and helps you see their very different ideas of beasts write and wrongs. I did however found it dragged at time.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a  complementary digital copy of this ebook in exchange for a full frank and   review. All opinions expres are completely my own.

I totally went into this book blind. After loving Sarah Morgans Christmas books I knew I would enjoy this I just didn’t know what to expect. I really enjoyed the character building and the tension in this book. Overall it was a romance but it kept me on the edge of my seat because I really needed to know more of Catherines history. The ending was beautiful, I now would like to live in Corfu please. The only negative I have is that sometimes the chapters are quite long but it didn’t put me off reading it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this darker romcom book. It's nice reading from the different characters perspectives, and the twists, amazing. All the characters were likeable and I enjoyed picturing the glorious views of Corfu.

What I was expecting from this book was not what I got, but I did get an enjoyable family drama (with a sprinkle of romance of course!). Set with a lovely back drop in Corfu, reading Summer Wedding made me feel like I was in the sunshine myself. This is a great book to pick up when you want some light reading and a little distraction from life.

A lovely heartwarming family story. Set on Corfu the descriptions of the island are breathtaking. Highly recommended.

I have relished every Sarah Morgan novel that I have read and this one is no different. Based on a Mum and her two daughters, the two siblings are invited to their Mum's fourth wedding and the book explores the time leading up to the wedding and the relationships between the three parties. It's hard-hitting and a sometimes difficult exploration of the relationships (especially between the two sisters) but ultimately a book that I will happily be recommending to others.

Another really enjoyable read from Sarah Morgan. I have never been disappointed by any of her novels. Great characters, a few surprises and lovely locations.

This was a really excellent read, the storyline flowing well, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Centred around Corfu the story rather twists and turns and like Catherine's efforts to keep her fourth husband secret until the last moment, the story has a great twist at the end. Yes it does have a happy ending but that does not make it a sloppy romcom.

I loved this book! Jumping between the narrative of a mum and her two daughters, we learn the impact of decisions made years ago on the daughters. A Perfect summer read.

This is a Summer romance story which is a gentle story with some twists. There was plenty of warmth from the writing and the location, which I enjoyed soaking up. This is an easy read about families, drama and skeletons in the cupboard. The characters are well-written and interesting, they certainly have plenty of insecurities and secrets between them.

Set on Corfu, Catherine Swift, a best-selling romance writer is getting married and her daughters are arriving to meet their future father. The two daughters, by different husbands, are very different in personality, Cassie the younger is excited about her Mother's news, she is a happy carefree girl who has a great relationship with her mother. Adelieine is not so pleased and can't believe her Mother is marrying for a fourth time. I liked the characters, even if they were a little needy and thought they were well-written,

I found the story very predictable, I guessed the plot very early on in the book and that lessened my enjoyment of it overall I think. Having said that, it is an easy read with plenty of drama in it.

Just a minute. There’s something different about Sarah Morgan’s new book ‘Summer Wedding’.
Alongside her trademark heady, uplifting storylines that roll like a steam train to satisfying conclusions, this latest novel harbours a dark undercurrent and it’s not what we expect from Morgan at all.

When your readers want certain things of you, that’s exactly the moment to weave in something new – and Morgan has done this skillfully using her cosy, heartfelt charm. It also parallels Morgan’s heroine, bestselling novelist Catherine Swift, who herself decides to depart from a lifetime of writing romance, to writing crime.

‘Summer Wedding’, set on the Greek island of Corfu, promises the sun-soaked read the title suggests: Catherine has invited her daughters, half-sisters Adeline, 30, a clinical psychologist and magazine agony aunt and Cassie, 22, an Oxford graduate, to her villa for her fourth wedding but omits to reveal who she is marrying until they arrive – and when they find out it’s fair to say that that’s when the story really gets going.

Read any of Morgan’s books and you’ll be met with strong familial ties, fiercely protected friendships and of course, romance. Themes of love and trust are explored in overflowing, chatty detail; secrets are discovered; characters squabble and forgive.

Told through the eyes of Catherine and her daughters, this story is about a mother who harbours a dark secret and two daughters who, for most of their lives, grew up apart. Cassie was raised by Catherine in Corfu; Adeline, first by Catherine and then by her dad, Andrew, in Cape Cod. Adeline has no idea why she was suddenly sent away. What does a split family do to you personally, to the family, in your ability to trust in relationships? Having suffered a trauma, how much of the past can you truly leave behind? How much of the past do you bring to your present-day self?

The title suggests a heartwarming read but while there’s a comfortable plot and romance (yes, broad-shouldered Stefanos has brawn as well as a successful IT-business-boat building brain) and long sun-baked days are punctuated with swimming in a ‘shimmering turquoise and silver’ sea, ‘Summer Wedding’ is not frivolously light. The three protagonists are rounded, flawed and full of a bucket load of anxiety like the rest of us, hiding in fictional worlds in their heads instead of facing up to complex emotions. How love differs and changes is shown through the relationships these characters have.

The theme of female empowerment is also present urging characters to have the confidence to make choices and take responsibility for them.

Also enjoyable is the novel’s sense of place. Shifting to a Mediterranean setting from California’s big skies and rolling ocean coastline that has worked so well for Morgan in the past, descriptive vignettes pepper the story. ‘…the scents of wild herbs and garlic sizzled in olive oil’, ‘bougainvillea spilled from terracotta pots, providing a dazzle of color against the sunbaked paths.’ Honestly, as most of us can’t afford a holiday this year, perhaps read this instead?

Morgan excels in emotional awareness and writes with compassion, possessing a writer’s knack for making it look so easy. Full of warmth and wisdom, this is a tender, insightful story that’s also wonderfully fun to read.

A lovely feel good story - some difficult content but an uplifting ending.

Catherine Swift, a romance author, is about to be married for the fourth time. She is counting on this wedding in Corfu to bring her family together, to allow her to rebuild her relationship with her elder daughter. After the initial shock of the mystery groom the girls, Cassie and Adeline, learn about their mother’s past and have to rethink their understanding of her actions and decisions.

Both have to face why they make the decisions they do and their view of love.

Well worth reading.

Adeline and Cassie are half sisters who don’t really get on. Adeline was sent to live with her father in England when Cassie was still a toddler. They are both surprised to receive an invitation to their mother’s fourth wedding on Corfu. Adeline doesn’t intend going and throws her invitation in the bin. She changes her mind after her father persuades her to go.
Catherine, their mum, is a writer of romantic fiction and this book is a very easy romantic read with a happy ending for everyone.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I enjoyed this lighthearted read, had a good storyline and good characters.

Delightful tale!

I lost myself in the description of Corfu - especially welcome in cold grey February, and rode the emotions of Catherine, Cassie and Addy. I enjoyed seeing the story unfold from the 3 viewpoints and particularly liked seeing each character from the others point of view!

The 'deep dark secret' wasn't particularly unexpected, and the romances were easily foreseen but played out beautifully. A thoroughly enjoyable few hours spent immersed in this book!

Really enjoyed this book.
I felt the emotion and the hard hitting points and would love to know them all better. See how the relationships are going now. A sign of a good book when you are invested I. Everyone.

Adeline can't believe her mother's getting married again after 4 marriages but her mother is keeping the groom a secret from her and her half sister Cassie. Her mother is best selling romance author Catherine Swift. Loved this book and the details of Corfu

I was lucky enough to be invited to read this latest Sarah Morgan book. I’ve read all of Sarah’s books and absolutely loved every single one of them. This was a different read from her usual books, so much so I had to keep checking it was definitely one of Sarah’s. Having said that it was a brilliant book, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Christine, Chrissie and Adeline’s stories xxx
