I’m a big fan of Sarah Morgan’s Contemporary Romances and so I was very eager to read this book. However, I went into this book thinking that it was going to be a cute and Christmassy novel. In the end, I think I got something very different but it wasn’t necessarily bad either.
THE CHRISTMAS ESCAPE is more of an uplifting story rather than one that will charm your pants off. It’s got a more laidback vibe, which is much for fitting to the Women’s Fiction genre than Romance. So although there is a romance in it and it’s very prominent, it didn’t feel like the charming stories that Morgan has written for her other series. This one blends Romance and Women’s Fiction genres a little more seamlessly, so that was something different for me.
If you’re looking for an inspiring holiday read, then look no further. THE CHRISTMAS ESCAPE will definitely be a great escape from reality.
This Christmas, be whisked away by USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan in this uplifting novel of friendship, the festive season, and risking everything for the biggest gift of all...
It was supposed to be Christy Sullivan’s perfect Christmas getaway—a trip to Lapland with her family and best friend, Alix. But facing a make-or-break marriage crisis, Christy desperately needs time alone with her husband. Her solution? Alix can take Christy’s little daughter to Lapland, and they will reunite there for Christmas Day. It’s a big ask, but what else are friends for?
There’s nothing Alix won’t do for Christy. But Christy’s request to save Christmas is giving Alix sleepless nights. She knows something is wrong, but for the first time ever, Christy isn’t talking. And even the Arctic temperatures in Lapland aren’t enough to dampen the seriously inconvenient sizzle Alix is developing for Zac, a fellow guest and nemesis from her past.
As secrets unravel and unexpected romance shines under the northern lights, can Christy and Alix’s Christmas escape give them the courage to fight for the relationships they really want, and save the precious gift of each other’s friendship?
