A Vineyard Celebration is a beautiful book, delving into the past history on Martha's Vineyard, spotlighting romance between both young and mature people, and focusing on the justice system and its faults and strengths. This is the nineteenth book in the series and it's been wonderful to see the development of so many characters. I really feel like I know these people and the community. Katie Winters never fails to surprise me with her stories. I really suggest you read this wonderful novel.
Wes Sinclair was conflicted. There was nothing else he wanted than to marry Beatrice; but he was having some worsening memory problems. He was on the list for a new drug if he qualifies for the trial. His granddaughter, Amanda was close to having his new great-granddaughter. However, his problems were minor next to Sam's. Sam was general manager of the Sinclair Inn. He was also Amanda's husband. Now he has to leave the inn in Wes's hands to take Amanda to the hospital. As the family gathers at the hospital to await the birth of he inn. Sam was having a spa put in the basement. Now the contractor tells him that they found something in the basement that has to be checked out by the historical society. But this means they have to close the inn until it is cleared by the society. What can happen next?
Has been a fun series - quick reads! Could get through each of them in less than 3 hrs. I enjoyed getting involved in all the characters and their stories. Will say, it got tedious when they were all listed over and over at each family gathering, and short synopsis of each one's lives at the beginning of each book. I will also suggest that the author get some better editing done. Many times I found characters names mixed up - ie: would say Susan said, instead of Claire who was actually talking. And MANY times mixed up the name of Steve's girlfriend. Went back and forth between Rita and Rina through about three books. But other than that, was a fun series.
Amanda’s life is changing. The arrival of her and Sam’s daughter coincide with a letter from the bar association. A wealthy family is unhappy with her defense of their son. Grandpa Wes is looking forward to his wedding to Beatrice. The Sunrise Cove Inn is threatened when the historical society shuts them down after the discovery of something with historical connections. The Sheridan family continues to love and support each other in times of trouble.
Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion.
What a fun story! It’s mainly about grandpa Wes and his upcoming wedding but also Amanda and her delivery plus issues with her law degree. Plus when a hidden room is found with ties to the Underground Railroad - there is doubt that the Inn can survive. But as in any good romance novel, the wedding happens and all of the love from the Sheridan family really shines through.

A lovely story with new mysteries, drama, love and family. New history comes to light in this new book. Amanda struggles with some abhorrent people and welcomes motherhood. A wedding to celebrate and some island neighbors help with the mystery. Enjoyed this series immensely.
A Vineyard Celebration by Katie Winters is another delightful read about the Sheridan Family, past and present. Katie Winters attacks many everyday issues and the emotions they illicit from ordinary people! Making the reader hopeful and allowing them to show empathy to all the characters!
I've never read a more epic series! Every emotion was dealt with: joy, sadness, defeat, victory, loyalty, betrayal, and most of all, uncondtional love. I would not hesitate to recommend the series to anyone!
