An embarrassing phone call to the “wrong” man, a breakup with the “right” man, and planning an unexpected working Christmas trip with your sister, her husband, their 4 year old daughter, and the mother you haven’t spoken to in 5 years…. is one heck of a way to start the holiday season. But Samantha has it all under control... well outer Samantha certainly does, inner Samantha isn’t so sure. Of course the adorable recipient of that really awkward phone call... just happens to be a sexy Scottish highlander and also her new client. How will she ever make it through Christmas unscathed? One More For Christmas is Sarah Morgan’s latest heartwarming novel and with every character she creates, every story she tells, she magically connects with her readers through humor, a little romance, and endearing yet complicated family relationships. Adding a handsome Scottish Highlander is also a great way to grab my attention ❤️. Sarah Morgan is one of my favorite women’s fiction romance authors. Her books are full of love, family, forgiveness and second chances. Her characters are brilliantly flawed and light hearted. One More for Christmas checks all of the feel good boxes and should be on everyone’s list this year!

The Safe Place by Anna Downes Released 7/14/20 This was a great summer read! Especially for 2020! Although I had trouble actually finding a “safe place” for this poor book….a trip to the lake with an accidental drop in the water, and continually knocked off the pool chair by the dog LOL, but soggy pages did not stop me from turning them quickly! Struggling to find any success as a working actress in London, recently fired from her temp job, out of money, a misfit in her family, and a bit broken on the inside, ...Emily is lost. But her now former boss, Scott, sees Emily as an answer to his problems and offers her an amazing opportunity at his remote French estate as a housekeeper. Is a job in a beautiful paradise setting everything Emily needs for a fresh start away from all her troubles, or has the trouble just begun! Fast-paced, The Safe Place, is an amazingly thrilling novel you won't want to miss! No phones. No outsiders. No Escape!

“Life is like a garden, don’t you think? Sometimes glorious, and sometimes a disaster. It’s messy, but always real. And sometimes all we can do is forge ahead, and if that means flattening a few daisies on the way, then so be it.” Carolyn - Family For Beginners Heart warming and healing, Sarah Morgan’s Family For Beginners is about all the imperfections that make life and family complicated, messy, and wonderful all at once. Sarah Morgan has a knack for creating characters you feel as if you've known all along but still want to peel back the layers to their story. Drawing you quickly into their lives, sharing their vulnerabilities and most intimate secrets while instilling humor, romance, and friendship is a Sarah Morgan specialty. Light and easy to read but terribly hard to put down, Family For Beginners is endearing and an absolute must read this summer!
