Great Festive read. Books 4&5
These are also part of the Lakeside Mountain rescue series books 4 & 5. So I ended up reading them all out of order. It didn't distract from the stories but some of the time line was slightly out. I have now read all 8 books and wished I had known they were all connected before I started reading them, as would have read them in order. Not sure why there is no mention of them being connected. Enjoyed all 8 books.

Another triumph from Sarah Morgan
4.5 StarsWish Upon A Star is a book with two separate stories, Christy's and Mirandas. They have a location and one character mainly in common but they are very different stories, but both really enjoyable.Christy's story features Christmas as the heart of it, as all her kids want is for them to go home, and back to Alessandro, in the Lake District, for Christmas. She reluctantly agrees, but for the children's sake more than anything. Once back she is called into action alongside Alessandro, as an A&E nurse, a role she gave up when she had Ben, and it starts make Alessandro realise things about Christy's life.Ben and Katy, hatch a small series of stunts to try and get their parents sleeping in the same bed again, and I was very impressed with Katy. She may only be 11 but is incredibly observant, and old beyond her years would suggest.There is hot simmering chemistry between Alessandro and Christy which they spend more time denying than exploring, but the sex scenes were hot and enjoyable!I was aware that Sarah Morgan has written medical romances in the past, but hadn't read any, I now know for certain, that I would love them, the way I love her other books, as Wish Upon A Star has doctors, nurses and supporting staff as the starring characters, and the hospital scenes in both parts of the book, drew me in and really engaged me. It's been many years since I last read a Mills & Boon medical romance, and I have no idea why. Turns out I still really enjoy the sub genre. The second story is more gentle, and a lot less festive. It starts on Christmas Day, where Miranda is rescued by Jake (Jake is godfather to Katy, and works alongside Alessandro and Christy at both the hospital and on the mountain rescue team), and there seems to be a connection between them at least on Jake's side intially.Miranda is a midwife, and Jake is an obstetrician and are a great team working together, and some of the deliveries had me holding me breath, praying that everyone was ok.Oddly I think the most fascinating aspect of Wish Upon A Star was the mountain rescue team. I've not encountered one of those before, and seeing them in action, especially on how they get a stretcher down a mountain is impressive, and very detailed.Although I didn't get a very Christmassy vibe from the majority of the book, despite its pretty cover, implying as much, it is still a very enjoyable book, with two contrasting stories, that I loved equally. I may have said it before, I'm sure I will say it again, I love Sarah Morgan's books and get more impressed with each one I have read.

Although I enjoyed the first story about Christy & Alesandro, I loved the second story about Miranda & Jake more - I connected to their story a lot quicker.This is another feel good, pure escapism book, with the obviously fairytale endings.Christy & Alesandro are separated with children, but both still want each other and by the end of the book they are back to the expected perfect family.Whereas Miranda & Jake don't actually become a couple until the end of their story and we spend our time wondering "will they/want they?" (although if we are fans of Morgan we know they will, it's just a question of when).

Not as good as 'Angels in the Snow' (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
I read one of this author's books before Christmas and really enjoyed it. I was sceptical about it being Mills and Boon but found it a great read. Anyway, I decided to try another of hers and this led me to 'Wish upon a Star'.This book, like the first I read, is divided up into two stories. However, they are linked to each other. In this one Alesandro and Jake work in the same hospital and are friends. The first story was about Christy, who had left her husband (Alesandro) but their children wanted them all to spend Christmas together. There are some really funny moments as their children (Katy and Ben) try to get them back together. I did find some of the things Katy did/said a little unrealistic though, considering she was 11 years old!The second story follows Miranda and Jake. Jake meets Miranda while out walking and rescues her (he works for the mountain rescue team as well as being an obstetrician.) Miranda stays at his house and he falls for her but when he wakes up she's gone. The next time Jake sees her he realises she's pregnant! I found this story very unrealistic (it just would never happen!) but it was still a nice festive read.While I enjoyed the tales as a Christmassy read, it wasn't as good as Angels in the Snow (Mills & Boon Single Titles) (Mills & Boon Special Releases). I would urge you to give that a go.

Wish Upon A Star
The book contains two stories. The first story is about Christie who has recently left her husband of 12 years as she thinks he does not love her any more. When there two children say they want to spend christmas at home with there dad as a family Christie is not happy but agrees for the childrens sake.The second story is about Miranda who is 6 months pregant and on her own. She meets Jake who sweeps her of her feet straight away. This I felt was the weaker story of the two.A very good read and I have now gone on to read more books by Sarah Morgan.
