One More For Christmas by Sarah Morgan

 



Gayle is a highly successful and motivated business woman, but her success has come at a price – she hasn’t spoken to her daughters, Ella and Samantha, for years. But when Gayle has an accident at work, she realises she needs to make amends with her family.

And so she invites herself to join Ella and Samantha for their Christmas in the beautiful Scottish Highlands. The sisters are none too pleased that their mother has inserted herself into their Christmas plans. They have each other – and don’t need their mother back in their lives. Or so they think…

As they embark on their first family Christmas together in years, will the three women learn that sometimes facing up to a few home truths is all you need to heal your heart?


When I think of typical idyllic locations for a festive get away I have to admit the Scottish Highlands isn’t the first place that comes to mind and yet having just finished reading Sarah Morgan’s recent release One More for Christmas I feel like I have found a hidden festive gem!
Career driven Gayle has been estranged from her two daughters for the past 5 years but when she has an accident and is taken to hospital her daughters are called. Something changes in Gayle and she wants to try and build bridges with her daughters Samantha and Ella, can a Christmas get away to the Scottish Highlands be the place to mend their hearts?
Quite simply this is my favourite novel by Sarah Morgan. this isn’t just a wintery read this has a wonderful sprinkling of festivity flowing through the storyline too, from Christmas baking, reindeer rides, Christmas tree gathering, snowman building the list goes on and after this mad year we have had it was a real treat to read this novel that provided pure escapism and has started the excitement bubbling of the Christmas spirit.
Each and every one of the characters were loveable with no exceptions, yes there are secrets and mistakes that have been hidden that shows that they are slightly flawed but typically this is because the secrets were hidden to protect others. It shows the importance of talking to one another and that it is never too late to build bridges and to learn to forgive and forget.
Tab who is Ella’s daughter is a little ball of energy and certainly helps to bring everyone together, her constant questions soon wore me out! Samantha and Ella have such a strong sisterly bond, it is apparent that their upbringing with their mother has affected them both but it has made them be there for each other through thick and thin.
As ever with a Sarah Morgan novel there is a swoony romance with a loveable Laird that will warm your heart.
This one certainly ticked all the boxes for me and as I reached the last couple of chapters I was reluctant to finish because I didn’t want to leave these characters behind. I certainly think there is more that can be done with each of these characters so I hope we will be reunited with them soon.
