I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate the final instalment 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 and the third, Come Rain or Shine here.
When Sadie Bingham’s life takes an unexpected turn, her
children treat her to a well-earned break at Juniper Meadows, the gorgeous
Cotswolds estate owned by the Travers family.
The festive season is in full swing, and Sadie throws
herself into the packed Twelve Days of Christmas programme, relishing the
opportunity to make new friends and new memories.
Single father Dylan Travers hasn’t been to his childhood
home of Juniper Meadows for decades. Estranged from his cantankerous father
Monty, he has made a happy life for himself in the States. But now with teenage
children keen to know more about their roots, Dylan has brought them back to
the Cotswolds to meet his family.
As Sadie and Dylan both navigate a Christmas very different
from the ones they had expected it's soon clear that, geography apart, they
have a great deal in common. And as Dylan confronts his past and Sadie
contemplates her future, perhaps the miracle of this Christmas will be the
happily-ever-after they both deserve.
Let Sarah Bennett whisk you away to a snowy Cotswolds for
the perfect winter romance. A Sarah Bennett book is guaranteed to brighten any
day, perfect for all fans of Cathy Bramley, Katie Fforde and Phillipa Ashley.
My Thoughts
This is a thoroughly satisfying final book in the Juniper
Meadows series, which I have so enjoyed. The central characters in this story
are Dylan, the youngest of Monty's children who has been estranged since his
teens, and Sadie, who is staying at the hotel for Christmas. She is recovering
from the break-up of her marriage and taking a massive leap forward as she
steps out on her own.
All the familiar
characters are featured which is lovely as you get to see how they are all
getting along. Family is absolutely central to all their lives. Set over
Christmas, there are so many great festive touches which arise from the plot as
the hotel hosts Christmas. It all sounds idyllic, from the festive crafts to
the outside snowy activities and gorgeous walks. I am sorry to see that this is
the end of the series, but have loved each one.
In short: new friends and family reunions
