4.25 stars solid.
Forgot to add this one the other day and just finished it. This series is a nice quick read that packs a lot into each book. Here we meet some new characters from the Vineyard, survive a blizzard and there may or not be yet another Sheridan wedding.

You'll just have to read it to find out. 😁

I don’t know how Katie Winters does it, but each new Vineyard novel just gets better and better! This one really touched my heart and I needed tons of tissues to get to the end. As characters, Lola and Tommy had already become favorites—but now? You absolutely have to read this book as soon as possible!❤️❤️

The storyline is awesome; the characters sublime; the unexpected events amazing; and the HEA? The best! You definitely want to grab this book today and read it cover to cover right away. It’s that good! (I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book and loved every moment of it!) ❤️❤️

Love at any age is beautiful

Another great addition to the series. Happiness can be found in unexpected ways. There are always silver linings in every situation you just have to open your eyes and heart. Life might not go on as planned but that isn’t always a bad thing.

I hope we get more of Cora and Hank as side characters in future books. They are a lovely older romance that I’d like to follow.

Wonderful read.

I love this series of books and how Katie continues the stories of these characters.
Makes me want to visit the island.

Fantastic performance

Another wonderful story about love and loss. Her books are so heartfelt and every character has something that everyone should aspire to be.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️½🎆☃️🏝

My thoughts: 🔖Page 115 of 178 Chapter Fifteen - I've never been a fan of Lola's POV so I wasn't expecting this to be a favorite, but it has too much going on and no true main storyline, like a soap without focus.

This book had a lot going on with little to show for it. I am not a fan of "Grandpa Wes," just say Wes, it's especially odd when one of his daughters has the POV even if it's in 3rd person.

Recommend to others: Only if you're reading this series. This was definitely a filler book. The series must go on, hopefully, the rest aren't like this one.

A Vineyard Blizzard is by Katie Winters. It is winter on Martha’s Vineyard and all seems well with the Sinclair girls and their families. In fact, things were just fine. Lola Sinclair and Tommy Gasbarro were to be get married soon. It would be the first for both of them although they were in their forties.
Lola and her daughter, Audrey had come back to Martha’s Vineyard to be with family. After twenty-five years it was time to make up. And they had. At the time, Audrey had been pregnant out of wedlock and she had recently given birth to a healthy baby boy.
Although she was happy and happy for her daughter, Lola just couldn’t think of something going wrong. Now she was headed to rehearsal for the community theatre the night before her wedding. It should be fun if all went well.

[Pam Fleming · Rating 5 out of 5]

Life continues for the Sheridan sisters. Lola seems to be on the brink of making a future with Tommy Gasboro. Christine seems to be settling into motherhood with baby Mia. Lola agrees to some community service as she agrees to serve as director for the local theater production of Annie.

Imagine being stranded with a cast of thespians, including young children when a record breaking blizzard hits town. How will the group survive, and why is Tommy not answering his phone calls and messages?

Vivid descriptions makes the readers shiver during the story of the blizzard.

Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion

Katie Winters effectively focuses on the importance of love and its memories in her latest Vineyard Sunset Series book. At 40, Lola accepts Tommy's engagement proposal. She also takes on the role of director of the local theater troupe's production of Annie. Widow Cora steps out of her comfort zone and finds a kindred spirit in Hank, another volunteer actor in the production. An unexpected blizzard strands the troupe in the theater and makes people think about what they really need and want in their lives. I liked the variety of ages present in the storyline. It was a very sweet story !

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love this series and Katie Winters writing. Here we have Lola and Tommy trying to figure out their life together and what happens when a massive blizzard gets in the way of a 1st birthday party, a wedding, and a production of Annie. How do the Sheridan sisters manage to make everything work out - you have to read the book b/c it's just such a fun read. I just love Lola and Audrey's relationship too and seeing how that changes through the books has been great. I really can't wait for the next installment of this series!

[Marie Bourgery · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought Lola was crazy for wanting to take on quickly planning her February wedding to Tommy and take over directing the local theater group at the same time. Add in the temperamental New England winter weather and it a wish and a prayer that everything would turn out well. I enjoyed this latest installment in the Sheridan family and catching up with their characters from the previous books. I met a few new ones this time in particular Cora and Hank who show how a love of theater can bring two lonely people together.

[Sheila Penwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love this series. The whole family lives on Martha's Vineyard and all of them spend a lot of time so all the normal characters are in this story plus several new ones. This story centers on Lola and her engagement to Tommy and her direction the musical Annie . This is where some of the new characters come in. Cora, Hank and Jenny the main characters in the play and also the big blizzard that comes in fast and postpones their place and Lola's wedding. a VERY GOOD READ. I recommend this series as it is very good.

[Kathy · Rating 3 out of 5]

These books how are use leave me wondering

I thought Scott sold Frampton freight in the second book when his brother Chuck went to jail? So why is he calling Tommy to work on a ship? Especially when it was a trucking company. I feel like the author just throws is what ever suits her without consideration for the story line through out the books. It insults our intelligence as readers.

[Karen Butler · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Vineyard Blizzard was a great book. I loved how Lola became involved in a community project. Lola, with the help of Amanda and Audrey, direct a community play, Annie. They put all they have into this play. Plus, Lola is preparing for her wedding. New friendships are formed, and love is in the air. What would winter be without a blizzard that stops everything! Katie Winters, you knocked another book out for a very enjoyable read.

[Cheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

A surprise event could possibly change some Martha’s Vineyard plans. I always feel like I’m sitting there with all these wonderful characters. Continuing to enjoy the new additions of more of the Vineyard’s residents and there heartwarming stories. Keep them coming, Katie. I received this arc for an honest review.

A Snowy Night

Lola Sheridan wanted to give back to her community and thought the best way to do it was to direct the play "Annie" the same weekend her grandson Max turns one and also the weekend she marries Tommy, the live of her life. Mother Nature has other plans. Read and enjoy.

[Kathleen A · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an astounding author! Katie Winters continue to keep the Sheridan and Montgomery families going in A Vineyard Blizzard while intertwining new characters who only enhance the Vineyard community. Always a great read and a feel good feeling!

Snowstuck

I really enjoyed this book, even if it was a little predictable. I liked the interactions of the characters. It is family/friend oriented. Full of hope & optimism. & it has a happy ending! I reccomend this for those who like romance.

[Patty Zuzek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute but not my favorite of the series

This felt like it was searching for a plat throughout…. It finally came together he last couple of chapters but previous it was a bit slow and uneventful and possibly a bit forced.

[Doreen Marshall · Rating 1 out of 5]

One of the worst books I have ever read. So many characters involved in so many things had to keep stopping and try to figure out who was who. And a pretty boring read. It was like it had ADD and needed a pill.

[Carol Rankin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A story of finding love again, sharing time with a community of friends and neighbors, celebrating long awaited events, and coming together with those who mean the most to you.

[Terry · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was the worst in the series so far. Couldn’t finish it.

[Alison Mackey · Rating 4 out of 5]

this series for me is now just a comfort read. this family is so loveable, and yet each storyline is different with the same characters.
