A good book should have great characters, a great setting and this book has everything needed to make for a great rtread. 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for this ARC

This is my first visit to Juniper Meadows. I hadn't heard of the earlier two books, but this can be read as a standalone.
Come Rain or Shine is a sweet romcom, telling the story of Tasha. Sent to Juniper Meadows to spy for her boss, she soon falls in love with the place and the people in it.
An easy read, great for your beach bag.

A cute, highly readable romcom, this is my first Sarah Bennett book but I doubt it will be my last. I loved the setting (who doesn't love an old manor house in the Cotswolds?) and I found Tasha and Rhys to be likable characters I wanted to cheer for. Excellent, cozy fiction.

Sarah Bennet's books are go to reads for me, I can't resist reading them when the latest publishes.
It's hard to believe the third book in the Juniper Meadows series is already here and I've read them all from the start.
It's been so exciting to read about Juniper Meadows and the archeologists running the dig and finding historical ruins. In each book in this series, we've found out a little more about it. I'm all for series and having the same characters in the books and getting updates on them but also meeting new characters in each book.
Running Juniper Meadows is a huge time consumer for Rhys Travers, also the future Lord of the Manor. Hiring someone to manage the manor and draw in customers while making major changes is going to help Rhys quickly get things under control.
When Tasha Blake swoops in like a ray of sunshine getting the manor on track with changes that draws in the customers and gives Rhys some breathing room, he's relieved and oh so grateful.
Love may be blossoming for this couple if only a few pesky secrets she's hiding don't hinder that path to love. Fabulous, fun, you won't be able to put it down until you get to the end. Warm a charming, a must read.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

This is the third in the new series set at Juniper Meadows and I am loving them! Can be read alone or as part of the series, either is totally enjoyable!
This one is around the heir to the manor Rhys Travers and the new campsite manager Tasha Blake. Tasha is a confirmed career girl after finding her previous boyfriend in bed with a friend, and comes to Juniper Meadows after a request from her boss and what she believes is a further step towards success and becoming a director in the firm in London. Rhys is so busy around the farm with the land and livestock that he really appreciates someone to organise and oversee the campsite. Tasha has become a godsend and a valuable part of the community.
Thoroughly enjoyed this latest and now can’t wait for the final fourth book!!
Sarah Bennett is a terrific author, easy feel good reading, something to keep you on tenterhooks and bring a smile to your face. I love the whole family, dogs and dynamics!! Just wish I could go for a stay and visit. Beautifully imagined and fabulous entertainment.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood books for the early read!

I did not read the previous two books in this series and I think I needed to in order to totally enjoy this book. There was so much referring to previous activities in the past that I was frustrated. There are many characters and I was a bit lost when trying to remember who was who.

The book was enjoyable, when I decided to let all the above go and just try to focus on what was happening now, rather then in the past. I would recommend if a reader wants to try this book, to read the others in the series first.

I want to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read the advance reader copy, with no obligation to write a review. My review is written freely as a hobby, and is totally my own opinion, not influenced by receiving the ARC.

I usually tend to enjoy the way Sarah Bennett writes her romances and I had a great time with the first book of the Juniper Meadows series last year. I somehow missed the publication of the second book, but as soon as I saw this third book being mentioned I decided to give in and and finally catch up with both books. The Cotswolds countryside setting makes for such a great backdrop, and while Come Rain Or Shine ended up being my least favorite of the series, I still enjoyed returning to the estate.

Technically you can read Come Rain Or Shine as a stand-alone, because each book focuses on a different pair of main characters. There is even a full list of characters and descriptions to help you on your way... But I personally wouldn't recommend it, because it is so much easier to keep the characters apart and understand the family dynamics if you read the books in order. I once again loved the setting; this author always picks the most wonderful countryside settings, and the estate makes for the perfect idyllic background. It made me witch I could visit the estate myself! I also loved how important the estate was in the plot, and how it is basically an essential part of the Travers family.

I've been looking forward to a book about Rhys as I liked his character in the previous books, and he turned out to be one of the highlights for me. Tasha, while a great match with Rhys, came with a LOT of baggage and there was just way too much drama going on in her life. I can appreciate the incorporation of different/more serious elements to complement the romance, but the balance in Come Rain Or Shine was totally lost for me. Especially with Tasha supposedly being a strong and independent woman, but then she lets both her boss and mother walk all over her... Toxic relationships indeed. There was so much focus on this element, and I really started to resent having to deal with it all.

Like I said before, the romance and chemistry were great, but there is just so much drama going on at the same time and it becomes distracting. The whole third-act breakup trope was also quite frustrating, especially since it was mainly due to Tasha overreacting. Thankfully the rest of the Travers family were there to distract you, and the many dogs were again a bonus. I do love it when pets play such a central role in the plot! The writing itself is engaging, and it's quite easy to keep turning those pages. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the ending, which kind of came out of nowhere. There wasn't even an epilogue to wrap things up more neatly, and it kind of left me wanting for more.

Thanks to the Publishers and Netgalley for an early review copy

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was lovely to be back in Juniper Meadows.

Rhys is feeling the pressure, being responsible for Juniper Meadows. As it’s the place his family call home, and lots of businesses locally are linked to the estate, he has a lot to do daily and doesn’t have much time for a personal life.

We meet Tasha, who is sent by her boss to find out what she can about the family, information that he can use to get them to sell.

But, as she’s always given her career more importance, much to her mother’s dislike, Will being in Juniper Meadows change her life? Also, will she be able to keep the real reason she’s there from Rhys and his family or will her secret be revealed sooner than she wants?

We also read what the other members are doing.

I highly recommend this book.

Once again, I enjoyed my visit to Juniper Meadows . Reading “Come Rain or Shine” was like a warm embrace as I was welcomed back into the family fold just like one of the book characters.

The Juniper Meadows businesses are flourishing but are still recovering from the havoc wreaked by an unhappy ex employee. In this story, Rhys, takes on a manager to develop the campsite so he can spend more time with the farming side of the business. Known for his loving but somewhat smothering need to control and plan he has high standards. He employs Tasha, a self confessed, work obsessed control freak, who seems a perfect match for the job. However, all is not as bright as it seems and trouble is on the horizon. I have to admit when the trouble arrives it forms a very small part of the narrative and is resolved quickly. It didn’t remove from my enjoyment of the book but I was surprised at what a small part of the story the “action” played in the end.

Every time I read a Juniper Meadows book I wish I could visit, and I would certainly need little encouragement to stay. The books are well written stories about the Travers family and their slowly expanding business. They are also romance stories and as well as the business expanding in each book the family does too, as another family member finds their soul mate. I look forward to reading more in the series to see if the rest of the family will find their happy ever after.

It’s great to be back in Juniper Meadows and with the Travers family again. Rhys and Tasha are a great couple, such energy and zest for life.

Tasha is put in an almost impossible position and I feel she manages it really well. She’s a pawn in some one else’s game and when she realises she takes step to remove herself. Rhys and the Travers family see her heart and accept her.

It’s interesting learning more about the older members of the family
It’s great to see past characters again and catch up on their story and their happy ever afters.

That archeological dig is finding some very interesting things and I can’t wait to see what happens with their latest find. I’m eagerly waiting for the next instalment.

Not my favourite of the 3 books but super glad the 'drama' wasn't dragged out. I loved that Rhys was able to see past mistakes. An easy comfortable read with familiar characters.

I love this Juniper Meadows series and this was a great addition. The wonderful cast of characters never disappoint and kept me turning the pages from start to finish. A real comfort book to read. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

How perfectly wonderful to visit Juniper Meadows once again and the marvellous Travers family, I absolutely love this series, it makes me so happy and content to read about these wonderful characters and, just for a while, live with them, another triumph Sarah, thank you

I enjoyed this series, I think this was the weakest out of the three and it seemed to build up to a rushed ending, I don't know if it is because I had a early copy but there was no epilogue, so no "final bit" to end the series, i assume they all lived Happily Ever After, over all I liked the characters and they came together very well and i do like Sarah's writing, there was just something missing from this one.

Rhys Travers is burdened with the responsibility of inheriting a vast and magnificent Cotswolds country estate, Juniper Meadows. With the estate being home to much of his extended family and many local businesses, Rhys has little time for romance. Tasha Blake, a career-focused woman, also has no time for romance, much to her mother's disappointment. When Tasha's job takes her to Juniper Meadows, the slower pace of life and the warmth of the Travers family soon captivate her. As the two navigate their busy lives on the estate, they must confront the secrets and silences that threaten to tear them apart.

I just loved this book so much that I only put it down to get a bit of sleep. I started this book in the early hours of this morning when I went to bed and got to chapter 18 and then I had a couple of hours sleep, I have now continued to read on and have finished this book today.

I just loved all of the characters in this book and the story features Tasha and Rhys who are just beautiful and they both deserve a happily ever after.

This is such a beautiful book and I would happily recommend this to everyone. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Boldwood for giving me this opportunity to review this book early!

I'm really enjoying this latest series from Sarah Bennett, and this is another great book.

We meet some new characters as well as old favourites in this visit back to Juniper Meadows. Highly recommended, an ideal cosy on the sofa with a blanket and cuppa read!

Back to Juniper Meadowhall and their lovely and a little crazy people. Rhys needs help managing the campsite. And Tasha seems the answer to his prayers. She is really enjoying her work, even if her boss reason to send her to Juniper Meadows seems a little fishy to her. The more they work together the more they fall for each other. But some secrets can destroy their relationship and the future of the State and Rhys’s family. Great story.

It was good to be back at Juniper Meadows again, with the quirky but caring Travers family. This time focussing on Rhys Travers, second in line for the title, who runs the farm & campsite and also helps out as much as he can in every aspect of the running of Juniper Meadows. Enter new campsite manager, Tasha, who isn’t quite as she appears.
I love Sarah Bennett’s writing, she always creates likeable, believable & fully-formed characters that readers can instantly warm to, and storylines that grab your interest. Her Butterfly Cove series is one of my all-time favourite books in this genre, and subsequent series of hers have all been extremely enjoyable.
I did take a little time to warm to this series, and compared to her others I felt it fell a little flat in the first book, began to pick itself up in the second (don’t get me wrong, they were still very enjoyable books), but this is by far the best of the three to date.
I really enjoyed the storyline, I found myself feeling frustrated, worried, annoyed, excited and everything in between by the experiences of Tasha and Rhys.
I’m unsure whether there is more to come with Juniper Meadows, if so I look forward to reading the next book, if not I wait in anticipation for another wonderful series from Sarah Bennett.

"Come Rain or Shine" by Sarah Bennett. What can I say other than I loved it and read in one day. Who doesn’t want to escape to an estate in the country. I hadn’t read the previous two books but had no trouble following along. I have since bought the previous books.

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.

The setting of Juniper Meadows sounded breathtaking, I could picture it especially as I have visited small villages in England. It had everything you could want in a story love, family, community and second chances.

I found the characters to be well developed, and multi-dimensional. There were multiple sub-plots of family dynamics Tasha’s as well as Rhys that had you interested in the outcome. I must admit I choked up a bit at the end, and was glad this is a series and I'll get to meet the characters again because I wanted to know more and what would happen next. I can’t wait to go back and read the previous books and hope there’s a book four.

I will definitely read other books by this author.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Boldwood Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
