The Christmas Escape: the top 5 Sunday Times bestseller and the perfect Christmas romance novel to curl up with this winter!: 1

I read my first Sarah Morgan book, A Wedding In December, this time last year and loved it, so I was really excited to read her latest this festive season. And yet again, The Christmas Escape made me laugh out loud, feel full of warmth, and be overcome with the enchantment of the stunning wintery setting.Although there are some similarities to A Wedding In December with the snowy location and confrontational relationship that will obviously develop into something more, I completely pictured two different settings and sets of characters, so Morgan does a fantastic job of using these typical rom-com tropes in an original and exciting way.The Lapland setting is truly magical and I’m now craving a family holiday somewhere nostalgic. I also really enjoyed the company as Morgan always writes her characters so well. With obstacles to overcome in all kinds of relationships – between families, marriages, friends, and couples – I loved getting to see the flaws in each of these characters and the ways in which they worked to learn from their mistakes and do better.For me, Sarah Morgan really knows how to write the perfect Christmas book. The Christmas Escape may be a light-hearted read set around reindeers, sledging, and Christmas tree decorating, but her characters and relationships still pack an emotional punch and I always put her books down wanting more!

A lovely Christmassy feel good read.Christy and Seb are planning a trip to Lapland to see her Aunt who she hasn’t seen since she was a child.Seb has lost his job and when Christy finds out, she’s disappointed that he hasn’t confided in her.Alix is Christy’s best friend and she is also going on the trip to Lapland and their friend Zac is also going along.There’s clearly history between the two of them and when Christy asks them to take their daughter to Lapland a few days earlier on their own so her and Seb can have some time together, Christy is apprehensive.Lapland works it’s magic on family and friendships and there’s also a sprinkling of love.A great feel good read.

Loved this visit to Lapland with Christy, Seb and their daughter Holly. It was great how their friends Alix & Zac were woven into the story too. Plenty of Snow, snow activities, love and warmth. The perfect read for the festive season.

Great winter love story to read in the evening next to a fire. Very lovely romantic story. Very enjoyable read.

A seriously laid back and easy read though sadly so predictable from the very beginning - The relationship details are perhaps a little over emphasised and obvious but the description of Lapland is great. The saga between the four main characters again is very predictable. It's definitely not a page turner but a pick up and put down on the beach or when curled up for a family Christmas perhaps.

I really enjoyed this book it puts a smile on your face

A lovely feel good story. Loved the characters and how the story unwrapped, I wish I could visit the magical place they went.

This story was very compelling as are all of Sarah Morgan’s books!
