Another great book to read telling a story of a family with its ups and down but all comes together in the end pleasing everybody in Greece with a wedding to complete

A family saga set on Corfu, romance, mystery, understanding and coming together. A brilliant read that I couldn't put down. Estranged sisters, a mother with a secret and 2 fathers, one dead and one living. It was not the ending I expected but it was perfect.

This was a perfect escapism, perfect for reading in the garden with a lovely cool glass of something. A really entertaining and enjoyable family saga.

Another fabulous Sarah Morgan book. A really good summer read, sun sea and Greece what more could you ask for. I really enjoyed the way the story was told and came to like all the characters in the book.

I’d like to thank NetGalley and HQ for approving me for an ARC of this book.

🌞If you are looking for an escapist, summer read then look no further! Set against the sunny backdrop of Corfu, Sarah Morgan sweeps us off on another entertaining and fun-filled family adventure.

👩🏼‍👧🏼‍👧🏻 Told from alternating POV we learn all about the fractious relationships between Adeline, Cassie and Catherine. These three women each have their own struggles and secrets which begin to unravel in the story. It was truly enjoyable to see their bond grow and strengthen throughout the read.

💖It wouldn’t be a Sarah Morgan story without a few romantic, swoon-worthy men in there. I liked the love interests that developed for Adeline and Cassie so much so that I wanted to have more of that and less of the domestic side of things. I’m just a hopeless romantic at heart!

⭐I was very much entertained from start to finish and found this to be a quick and enjoyable read. Definitely, one to pack in your suitcase for the summer holiday!

This is my favourite of Sarah Morgan’s books.
Adeline is frustrated that her mother, a romance author, is getting married for a fourth time after previously leaving Adeline’s father for another man and giving birth to Adeline’s half-sister Cassie.
Reluctantly, and whilst feeling angst about what the news will do to her father, Adeline makes the trip to Corfu to the wedding and to reunite with her mother and Cassie.
Cassie is so nervous about Adeline’s visit as she feels like her sister views her as a symbol of her parent’s marriage breakdown. As the sisters tentatively spend time together, will they be able to get on board with the wedding when their mother reveals her latest beau?
This story contained so much, there were layers of feelings and complicated family issues which I could completely relate to, coming from divorced parents. Extremely clever and well thought out-loved it!

A lovely summer read set on a beautiful island. Not exactly a romance book, more of a family saga. Great characters and easy to read.

Not your typical romance novel, but that's what makes it so special.

This is a story more of familial love than romantic love, though romance does run through like a subplot.

Summer Wedding explores the family dynamics between a mother and best selling author Catherine Swift and her two daughters, Adeline, who is estranged and Cassie, Adeline's half sister, the family was split in two when Cassie was very young, the eldest daughter sent to live with her father, losing her mother and sister overnight.

Over the years, the gap in their relationships has only widened, but news of Catherine's impending marriage on the island of Corfu will bring the truth out in the open and only time will tell if it mean old wound or drive a permanent wedge between them.

An emotional rollercoaster where you feel for every character.

Set on the island of Corfu a summer wedding explores complicated family life, secrets and love. Catherine Swift is getting married for the 4th time, one daughter Adeline is sceptical and Cassie is a hopeless romantic, the sisters don’t have a relationship & really couldn’t be any different, Adeline doesn’t have a relationship with her mother after being sent away at to live with her Dad whilst Catherine stayed with her then husband Rob and their daughter (Cassie)

Who is Catherine marrying this time, why all the secrecy and can the sisters build a relationship?

I didn’t dislike the book but it took me a while to get through, I had to motivate myself to pick it up. A strong 3.5

Thank you for sending me this ARC. I am enjoying Sarah's move towards exploring more deeply family and friends relationships rather than purely romantic. That said I did miss some of the spice and 'details' of her previous stories.
I read this in 2 days and it was a great companion in this lovely sunny weather we are having.

This is the perfect summer read, delightful and heartwarming, but with a level of emotion within it that I for one didn’t expect as a first time reader of Thomas’ books, and which made it all the more special.

Following the end of her marriage, Beca decides to make some big changes in her life, sells her cleaning company and moves back to the small Pembrokeshire coastal town where she grew up. Buying her dream home and planning to foster children, she finds much has changed in the town – most significantly, her family’s ice cream café is now a wine bar. Re-establishing herself in the community, starting a new business and dealing with two foster children presents her with challenges she never expected!

Thomas draws such a vivid picture of the setting and the community that it became a place I longed to visit. The cast of characters is wholly engaging and I fell in love with Beca and rooted for her happy ending as she fought to find herself whilst at the same time supporting two boys who had already faced so many challenges in life. And gosh did I want to try her gelato!

It’s a book that’s a delightful bit of escapism with a heart and one to add to your summer reading list!

A great summer read. The story is set in Corfu and you will feel like you are on a trip to Greece as the story unfolds.

Another great summer read by Sarah Morgan. I am yet to be disappointed by any of her books.
You are taken on a trip to Greece, for a wedding that will be life changing for all the family.
You can almost feel the Greek sun on your face as you read this. Full of secrets and truths, as well as self discovery. Characters developed really well throughout and the ending was exactly what I had hoped for.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Catherine has three marriages behind her and these have left her relationship with her daughters strained. Engaged again Catherine is hoping this wedding will bring her family closer together. The wedding is being held in her villa in Corfu. Catherine’s daughter Adeline can’t believe she is getting married again apor that she is expected to attend, this starts to bring back memories that she would rather forget. Her half-sister Cassie is thrilled that her mother is remarrying and is excited to meet her future step father. They both get the shock of their life when they discover the man her mom is about to marry is Adeline’s father. Catherine reveals secrets for her last that make her daughters realise that they don’t know their mother as all.

Morgan’s new novel is a frothy mother and daughter relationship that is disenfranchised to say the least. The relationship is interesting and although this is a real page turner, it has a comfortable feeling within its plot that reminds me of baked bread baking and Hallmark romance films on a Sunday afternoon.

This is not a con but a huge pro because this is a perfect summer beach read that keeps the reader invested and smiling to the end. There is enough in the plot to keep the pages turning and when you finish, the reader is sure to have a knowing smile across their face.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and enjoy reading Morgan books regularly.

‘Adeline read the words, and then read them again. Married? Married? Her mother was getting married for a fourth time?’

Adeline, clinical psychologist and writer of a hugely successful advice column cannot believe her mother is getting married..again! Her mother Catherine Swift is a highly successful romance writer but all is not well in the world of romance, Catherine has plans which will shock her readers.
Adeline, it seems can’t stand her mother and really doesn’t want to go to the wedding. On the other hand Cassie, her half sister is really excited by the news and looks forward to returning to Corfu. But none of them are prepared for the secrets and pain that will be revealed as they gather on Corfu for a wedding.

‘It’s time she modelled herself on one of her heroines.’

I really loved this book, yes it’s romance but never write off a romance. They often deal with some really difficult themes and Summer Wedding is no exception. Morgan deals with these deftly and sensitively and it really works in the story.
The mystery groom, I had already worked out but it was fun to read the reactions of Adeline and Cassie, it’s a little bit of an understatement to say they are both knocked for six! The fallout conversation was written so well and I loved how the sisters drew together.

‘Men so often hold the power, but not this time.’

I really loved how the author wove in the experience of being an author to the story, I felt it really added to the narrative - conversations cannot be deleted, how a chart position can affect you, it was a very revealing insight I thought.

‘The idea of being paid to do what she loved was exciting, until she’d figured out that her advance would only cover her rent and food for two months.’

Although there are tough themes to negotiate, there is also love and hope and it will make your heart sing and long for the Sun of Corfu!

I’m definitely going to be reading more Sarah Morgan books!

What a fantastic book. I loved it. Catherine Swift lives in her villa in Corfu, she’s a successful romance writer. She invites both her daughters to her 4th wedding.
Adeline, the eldest daughter, can’t believe her mum is getting married again. She’s not sure whether to attend or not as she has a strained relationship with her mum and seeing her always brings back troubled memories of her mothers affair and the baby that was the result.
Cassie though is thrilled and can’t wait to meet her mums soon to be husband.
The visit doesn’t turn out quite as expected - new secrets are shared. Do either of them really know their mum?

Aww, this book was super sweet.

With Catherine set to remarry for the 4th time, she invites her two daughters (one of which she's close to, the other she's almost estranged from & the two of them don't speak between themselves) to her wedding on the island of Corfu. Once they arrive, there are plenty of surprises in store which has the potential to break or build the bonds.

It was a lovely portrayal of family ties & how deep they can run. It was also a great take on people's directional paths & how or why they might want to change them, showing that life is never a straight forward line but fully of wibbly ones instead.

I really connected with the story & the characters (especially the daughters, Adeline & Cassie), so it felt easy to get stuck in to the story & root for positive outcomes. The setting was also beautifully descriptive & made me want to visit Greece even more than I already did!

'Summer Wedding' is a great & enjoyable summer read.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sarah Morgan & HQ for allowing me to read & review the ARC of 'Summer Wedding'; all views are honest & my own.

What a fab book!
I always love how Sarah Morgan’s novels have a big focus on family and familial relationships, as well as romantic ones. The family dynamics in this novel were definitely complicated but I loved how it all played out.
The three main female characters were all so strong and inspiring, whilst also being very human and flawed. It was such a great read, with a mysterious element lurking about the past. The setting was beautiful too and made me dream of being in Greece!

Thanks to Netgalley and HQ for this E-arc.

What an absolutely perfect read for this time of year - I devoured Summer Wedding over a day sat in my garden soaking up the sunshine.

Beautifully written, full of romance with little twists thrown in here and there I just loved this latest offering from Sarah Morgan.

The family dynamics take centre stage and Morgan has created some fabulous characters in the Swift family and their friends. By the end you feel you know them and I loved how their relationships all develop throughout the story.

I am quite a hopeless romantic at heart so I was left with happy tears in my eyes as I turned the last page.

A wonderful read for the summer.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me.
