Love is in the air this Christmas!



Christy was hoping to skip Christmas this year. Her kids have other ideas — they’ve put their dad’s name at number one on their Christmas list. So it looks as if Christy will be hightailing it up to the Lake District to play happy families with her ex! Snow-capped mountains and roaring log fires — Alessandro’s home is like walking into a Christmas card. Is it really safe for her to spend Christmas with her dreamy, funny — no! — entirely infuriating ex-hubby?

Miranda has completely the opposite problem. Being single and pregnant at Christmas was certainly not her wish come true. She doesn’t believe in miracles, but then resident hunk Jake sweeps her off her snow-covered shoes. Come Boxing Day dare she dream that Mr Sex-on-Legs might be for more than just Christmas?

Wish Upon A Star by Sarah MorganOne section is about Christy:The kids talk their mom into going home to the dads's place in the country for Christmas.Alessandro is a doctor with emergency services. They agreed to get together for the sake of the kids.Once they arrive in the country he has to go back to work at the hospital and again she feelsshe never gets to talk to him. She is then asked to work at the hospital because the nurses thatwere to be on duty are all sick. She agrees and the kids are either with her, him or his parents.They are able to talk when they find themselves at the hospital at the same time. It's very busy with the holidays, staff not there, and holiday travel. The kids sense getting them back together is not working so they try to force them by jumping on their mom's bed hoping to break it so she'll have to sleep with their dad in the same bed. That backfires when the dad says he will take the couch and give the bed to the mother. Again the kids try, other things to get them back together.Part of the hospital job is going out on mountain rescue missions. Alessandro is going to one and doesn't want Christy to go incase anything should happen one of them will be around to raise the kids. She wants to go also. They are spending a lot more time together, during emergencies and they are able to talk more about their problem.Love the details of what goes into a mountain rescue especially an avalanche.Next section is called MirandaJake found her body in the snow, Miranda. He put his hat on her and tried to give her a candy bar. She was shivering so bad.It was christmas day and he did not want to alert the rescue squad so they decided they would walk down the mountain.They talked a lot on the way down and got to know one another.He took her back to his place and gave her a hot bath and fed her and she stayed the night, on the couch. When the phone rang in the morning he went into another room, it was the hospital-they needed him. When he got back to the living room she was gone.He didn't even know her name or where to find her. She was hiding a lot of things from him and she did not want to share them with anybody.Miranda shows up at the hospital, she's a mid wife and shes 6 months preganant also.Second day at the hospital, he brings her to her home and things don't go quite good.A lot of other meaningful things happen and they talk a lot more to get to know one another better.Good to know this author will have another book out the summer of 2012.

Fiction; Romance4.5 starsWish Upon a Star is a delightful book that contains two romantic Christmas stories. A bit longer than what I would consider a short story, both were well developed and fun to read.The first story of the book is about Christy and Allesandro. Separated by choice after twelve years of marriage and away from each other during the holiday season, Christy is contemplating and regretting her decision to leave. Meanwhile, their children work together behind the scenes to reunite them as a family. This was a great story about love and forgiveness. I adored how Sarah Morgan wrote the kids in to the story as secondary characters. I found that part to be highly entertaining and a huge part of what made the storyline work so well.The second story is about Miranda and Jake. Miranda, who is six months pregnant, has let go of the notion that she will ever see a "happily ever after" in her own life. So when she finds herself lost in a whiteout and rescued by the handsome Jake Blackwell, she can't help but to fight her feelings toward Dr. McDreamy.I really liked this book. It is well written and because of the two shorter stories, was not a huge time commitment. Filled with chick-lit flair, this book was fun, flirty and a great romance to add to your holiday collection.Highly recommended.

This book comprises of two short stories; Christy and Miranda. Christy ran away with her children to the city just to gain the attention of her ever busy husband; Alessandro with the hope that he will come and take them home. But it backfired. And christmas is near and both their childrens' wishes was to celebrate the season holiday with their father at their family home with their mother. So, Christy have no choice but to agreed. Being at home again with her husband evoked many emotions in Christy. Both of the characters are so hardheaded that reading thru their story, i wish i would just whack them on their head. The miscommunication between the two of them is so bad that at times i wonder how they are going to mend their relationship!Mirinda was six month pregnant when Jake found her alone in the forest. Jake was attracted to her from the first moment they met but Miranda refuses to accept that what more with her current conditions. Jake continue to pursue her to the extend that he insisted her to stay at his home just so for him to take care of her. It was disheartening to see Miranda keep pushing Jake's away whenever Jake trying to get thru her. There were times that I dislikes Miranda alot but when i realise the reason Miranda pushes him away, i begin to understand her situation ;)

Two stories of finding love and enjoying the holidays. Christy and Alessandro are apart from each other during what should be a very happy time of year. Only their scheming children may be able to pull them back together again. Miranda on the other hand has given up on love, six months pregnant and not at all looking for love stumbles into Jake. Of course, Jake’s plans are completely different from Miranda’s and how it ends is entirely up to her. Christmas and happily ever afters come together in this new novel from Sarah Morgan.First of all, I had no idea this wasn’t a full novel. When I initially picked this up off of Net Galley I thought it was one story, but upon reading I quickly discovered that wasn’t the case. After about fifty pages in and things clicking along pretty quickly I realized it would be hard to draw it out for more than maybe another hundred pages. I flipped ahead to discover a second story and was actually pretty excited about it. I’m a huge fan of short stories when written well and these were actually a little longer than a short story but still very well written. It also was a great fit for a Christmas Chick Lit story making it an incredibly quick and fun read!Having not expected Miranda and Jake’s story I just took it as a bit of a bonus read and thoroughly enjoyed it though I think I enjoyed Christy and Allesandro’s story the best. From the first chapter I was completely captured by Christy and couldn’t help but wonder why it was that she left her very attractive and successful husband. What came after was a story about forgiveness mixed with a wonderful family Christmas with their scheming children. As for Miranda and Jake, I loved how persistent he was and of course I’m a sucker for a happily ever after which definitely happened.Wish Upon A Star by Sarah Morgan is the perfect cozy romantic chick lit novel for the holidays. Easily read in one or two settings due to the break up between the two short stories within it’s pages. Follow along with Christy & Allesandro as they struggle to overcome their differences and become a happy family just in time for Christmas day and watch as Jake does everything he can to convince Miranda of his love. Both stories within the pages of Wish Upon A Star are fantastic and great reads for the holiday season.Originally reviewed and copyrighted at my site, Chick Lit Reviews and News.
