Come Rain or Shine by Sarah Bennett #Review #JuniperMeadowsBook3

 I am so happy to be on the tour to celebrate the third in the Juniper Meadows series by Sarah Bennett. Set in the Cotswolds, Come Rain or Shine  was published on 6th March by Boldwood Books. You can read my review on the first in the series, Where We Belong, here and the second, In From the Cold here.

There are worse fates than growing up knowing that you will one day inherit a vast and magnificent Cotswolds country estate, but for Rhys Travers it has always felt like a huge responsibility.

Juniper Meadows is home to much of his extended family, not to mention the many local businesses that operate on the estate, so there’s no time to sit back and enjoy the view. Juniper Meadows is a full-time job, and that doesn’t leave much time for romance…

Tasha Blake’s career leaves no time for romance either – much to her mother’s chagrin. Tasha’s sister Danni has kindly provided two grandchildren, but Victoria Blake is keen for more! When her job takes her to Juniper Meadows for an extended project, the slower pace of life, the beauty of the countryside and the warmth of the Travers family, soon has Tasha in its thrall, and the future Lord of the Manor Rhys Travers is rather easy on the eye too.

As the busyness of life on the estate sweeps Tasha and Rhys along, they are both able to ignore the secrets and silences that are growing between them. But when the future of Juniper Meadows hangs in the balance, loyalties and love are tested to breaking point. When the chips are down, can Rhys and Tasha see a future together, come rain or shine…

Sarah Bennett is back with her signature blend of warmth and joy, plot and pace. A Sarah Bennett book is a ray of sunshine and a huge hug, guaranteed to brighten any day, perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Phillipa Ashley.

My Thoughts

This third instalment of the Juniper Meadows series centres on Rhys, the heir to the estate. He might be in line to inherit but he certainly does not have any airs and graces and has always found the prospect quite a responsibility. Tasha is a woman with a secret and it is interesting to see the effect that Juniper Meadows has on her. She responds to the calmer, quieter way of life and the kindness of the people she meets there. 

    I think that this third story might be my favourite in the series so far, I enjoyed the mix of the characters and seeing Tasha both in her home and work setting gives you a closer look at her character. She hasn't always been treated well in the past and her attitude towards work changes as the story develops. As always, family, friendship, love and community are at the heart of the story. I can't wait for the next one!

In short: brilliant characters and a lovely setting
