Another sparkling addition to this very readable series!

Juniper Meadows is very much a family concern, but Rhys Travers is aware that, one day, the overall responsibility will fall to him. Securing the future takes up all of his time, with nothing left over for a personal life. Tasha Blake is in similar circumstances; she is very career minded and her boss has no concept of personal time. His latest instructions send her to Juniper Meadows to interview for a position in order to spy on the set-up there ... what is going on?

This is a truly enjoyable series by Sarah Bennett. Whilst it is a series, each book focuses on a different family member and each one is just delightful! A novel with great characters and so much going on that it's a hard one to put down. This third book is every bit as enjoyable as the preceding two, and I hope this is a series which continues for several more books yet! Easily earning all 5* and my recommendation.

My thanks to the publisher for my copy via NetGalley; this is - as always - my honest, original and unbiased review.

This is the third book in the series by Sarah Bennett. It’s based around The Juniper Meadows estate, and is an easy, funny read.
Rhys is finding the strain of managing the farm plus the campsite a bit of a struggle, so advertises for a manager for the campsite. Meanwhile, Tasha’s boss decides that she should apply for the job but she has no clear idea why!.
I really enjoyed meeting Tasha as a new character, and finding out what would be happening in the Travers family!. Yes, I have read the previous two books, but it can be read as a standalone. To be honest, if you read and enjoy this book as your first, I can guarantee you’ll want to read the previous two!!!
Many thanks to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read this arc copy via Netgalley. This opinion is my own.

This is a lovely, heartwarming story with a cast of (mostly) kind and likeable people. I loved the close family vibe and how they all help one another. Tasha and Rhys, the main characters are people you would love to have as friends or to work alongside. I found the large number of characters a bit overwhelming at first and although the book can be read as a standalone I think I'd have enjoyed it even more if I'd read the first two books in the series - something I need to do now! Overall this was an enjoyable read and I look forward to the final book in the series to catch up with the cast and to know how it all concludes. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

I hadn’t read the other books in this series but needn’t have worried as this can be read easily as a standalone book.
Slightly different to some of my usual reads, but it kept me entertained and I would recommend it.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is the 3rd book in the Juniper Meadows series but could easily be read as a standalone. This time we follow the story of Rhys and newcomer Tasha. Great to read their story and to catch up with the rest of the family too.

I was straight into this and found that it really didn’t matter that I hadn’t read the others in the series. This had its own story that has an ending but you can see how easily there are books either side. I absolutely loved all the characters and thought that they were well developed and all very much individuals. It was easy to keep track of who was who and how they’re all connected. Tasha was a great character and loved how she stood up against her very overbearing mother! Rhys sounded like the all round good guy and was! Tasha starts working at Juniper Meadows and is tasked with making the campsite side of the business a success . The thing is all is not as it seems and she is initially there under false pretences. The way the characters relationships develop is written in a natural way with the reader being able to see how they both feel about the situation. A great read that I would have consumed a lot quicker if work hadn’t got in the way! Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC

This is the third book in a series, but can be read as a standalone. i really enjoyed the story. great setting. I will go back and read the first two in the series. good book.

This was a warm and fuzzy read, though there were several moments of panic I had as a reader when I thought that Tasha’s secrets would be revealed. I liked that the book directly addressed the deception in the story, rather than playing it down or turning it into a “misunderstanding.” The portrayal of the main character as competent and motivated made me like her a lot, and I felt like her character arc was satisfying.

I feel like the main male character could have been a little more developed, as he appears as an already perfect tough, yet sweet, yet rough, yet sensitive person from the start and doesn’t change much throughout. That said, I did enjoy his character a lot. Why limit yourself in a romance book, after all? Readers looking for a sweet found-family and self-discovery-focused romance will love this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC. This is my honest review.

4/5 Cute, funny, and heartwarming.

This book is part of the Juniper Meadows series. It can be read as a standalone novel but I recommend reading the series in order to enjoy it more.
I absolutely loved this book, Rhys has been a lovely character in all of the books so far. He has always been friendly and helpful and I was keen for him to find love.
Tasha was a good, well developed character. I was reading with trepidation though, wondering whether she would do the right thing and how on earth she would resolve the situation.
I loved hearing about the progress with the Archeological dig, I like how the storyline is slowly developing through the series, the timeframe is realistic but I am eagerly waiting to find out about the ruins. It is very interesting.
We are reunited with the characters from the previous books and get to find out what is happening with them. There are also some unwelcome characters who rear up and also a dramatic family reunion.
I was so involved in reading this book that I had to stay up all night to finish it. Of course, now that I have finished it I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
This book has a good sense of family values, although there are also some big family dramas. There is romance, lots of dogs and community spirit. It is a lovely heartwarming read.
Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood books for my ARC.

Great to catch up with the gang at Jupiter Meadows. This time the story continues with Rhys he needs help with the glamping site and Tash comes along but what’s she hiding and can she juggle her secret life and how will the two come together.
Looking forward to more from the gang

This was such a joy to read, and I really loved the setting as well being able to exist in England for a bit every day while I read this. I did not read any of the other books in this series, but nonetheless was able to enjoy this book and its sweet romance and characters. The two main characters come together due to life circumstances and fall into each other's orbit. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters within the family. Now I should probably read the other books so I can continue all the good feels.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 3 in the juniper meadows series but could be read as a standalone although I recommend the full series for maximum enjoyment.

Another lovely instalment features the lovely characters that inhabit juniper meadows and we are faced with a new inhabitant Tasha in this story as had come to help manage the juniper meadows estate.

This is a story of love family and relationships and how the events of the past can affect the future.

This is a cosy and heartwarming read and I can’t wait for the next instalment

A fun and enjoyable read. I liked the quirky characters and the setting of a working estate was quite creative. The main family seemed like a group that I'd love to spend time with! Thanks #NetGalley #BoldwoodBooks #SarahBennett

Right before Christmas I got to read and review @sarah_bennettauthor second book, In From The Cold, in her Juniper Meadows series. I absolutely adored it, and I was completely floored when I received the next book, Come Rain Or Shine, in the same series to review. I’m a little sad now because I’ve finished it and will have to wait for the next instalment to come out, but I will be diving into her previous series in the meantime to tide me over until then.

I am so thoroughly enjoying this series, every book is so cozy and comforting. Following the continuing story of the Travers family, who turned their family estate, Juniper Meadows, into a thriving series of businesses to support their small community.
Rhys, the next generations heir, has been carrying the weight and responsibility of a few too many things. To ensure the campground at Juniper Meadows runs smoothly in the summer he places an add for a campground manager. Tasha has given everything she had to get her career where she wants it to be. A consultant for a development company often doing feasibility studies on companies her boss hope to acquire. She is a little unsure why her boss is so interested in Juniper Meadows but when he has her apply for the campground manager position,while promising a big promotion at the end of the assignment, to do a little digging on the Travers, she goes for it.

I want to move, or at the very least take a long vacation at Juniper Meadows. I have fallen in love with the family, the location, and all the small businesses that exist in this ecosystem.

If you want a cozy feel good series I highly recommend this one. Look for the newest release March 6 2024. Thank you to @netgalley and @theboldbookclub @bookandttonic for letting me review this book.

How sweet and adorable was this. I didn’t realise it was book 3 in the series so definitely off to get book 1&2 it can be read as a stand alone but I need to know more about the Juniper Meadows & the Travers family.

I loved the setting I don’t think It could have been more perfect I really wanted to visit. Tasha has moved into a lodge on the grounds to start her new job as campsite manager. Rhys
works on the farm but also helps out everywhere else he’s a kind caring man who will put everyone else before himself.
I loved their friendship to lovers it was such a slow sweet progress. They really made each other happy until Tasha’s secret comes out. I was a tad heartbroken when she left but the really tears came when she was hiding at her parents and Rhys family were messaging her to come home it was such a sweet moment. Rhys literally kidnaps her and takes her home I loved how the problem is wasn’t dread out and wasn’t a huge mess. I can’t wait to find out the rest of the family’s stories. They were such a close happy family the happiness was on each pages it’s was such a heartwarming book.
Over all this is a sweet cute romance within a huge family with a beautiful setting. I couldn’t love it more.

This is such a heartwarming book. I loved the cast of characters. This book was a tale about families. The different expectations Rhys and Tasha’s family had for them. It had some funny moments. It’s a feel good book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Tasha's career is where she signs. When she arrives at a small town, she has alot to look forward to. This was a nice read.

Another lovely read by Sarah Bennett. I really enjoyed this book. It had an interesting story line. Great characters and good interaction between them. Recommend either for a summer read or to wash away the winter blues.

I loved returning to Juniper Meadows. I loved Rhys in this story, he's such a great character. I love the idea of Juniper Meadows but it does sounds like such massive upkeep.

Tasha mother is unbearable, it is so nice to read a book about someone who isn't thinking about kids, I think if my mum said what Tasha's says to her, whether she's offered to pay for it or not, I'd be fuming. I like that Tasha doesn't take the crap from her mum and that he dad isn't like that with her.

The connections are really good and I loved reading above the developing of some relationships. I really enjoyed the ending and what the outcome of certain situations was.

The pace of this book is perfect and I loved coming back to Juniper Meadows.
