Sadie needed to readjust her entire life after finding out her husband is cheating on her. To help her children decided to give her a 12 day stay at Juniper Meadows for the Christmas holiday. There were so many things for her to do while she was there -there was a murder mystery dinner that she knew would be fun to do while she was there.
Dylan has two children, and he knows it is time for him to take them to his childhood home.
Little Sadie and Dylan realize that this trip and their meeting would be a change they both need in their lives.
I loved the chemistry and connection between these two. I was drawn into their lives and enjoyed every minute of it.
This is part of the Juniper Meadows series. I have read one of the others in the series and look forward to getting the others to read them.
Thank you NetGalley, Sarah Bennett and Boldwood Books for the copy of Snow is Falling. This is my personal review.

Sarah Bennett is another automatic read author for me. This is the fourth book in the Juniper Meadows series, and I've enjoyed my visit there every time.
Sadie was comfortable in life; her children and grandchildren keep her happy and she visits her mother as often as she can though her mother doesn't have the best attitude. She more than anyone else is shocked when she finds her no good husband cheating on her and knows it's time for him to go.
As a way to get her mind off of matters and relax, her children treat her to a twelve day stay at Juniper Meadows over Christmas holiday. Packed with winter activities even a murder mystery dinner she knows it's going to be a blast and a way to make new friends and new memories as she greatly looks forward to it.
Dylan Travers, a single father with two teens has had enough. He hasn't been back to his childhood home, Juniper Meadows in years but for the sake of his children he knows it's time for a reunion. His children need to meet his side of the family as it's not fair on them and he's going to try to reconcile with his father.
As Dylan and Sadie meet, they realize they have much in common and as they get to talking about their similarities, they realize they enjoy each other's company immensely. As the fun continues each day it brings them closer to returning to reality and Sadie leaving this little love nest. Can they make a long-distance romance work, or will it eventually crash and burn like so many long-distance romances do after a while? What a delightful book, I enjoyed reading about the celebration of the holiday and the snow activities that I could picture being done. Christas is the time for miracles, maybe they'll find a few at this time of year. What a delightful and heartwarming continuation of the Juniper Meadows series. I hope it will continue.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Book Review: Snow is Falling

I recently indulged in Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett, and it was everything I hoped for in a festive romance. Set in the enchanting Cotswolds, the story follows Sadie Bingham, who, after a life-altering event, finds herself on a much-needed retreat at Juniper Meadows—what a perfect backdrop for healing and rediscovery!

From the moment Sadie arrives, the festive atmosphere pulls you in. I loved how she embraced the Twelve Days of Christmas program, allowing herself to make new connections and create cherished memories. It felt relatable and inspiring, especially as she navigates her own challenges.

Then there's Dylan Travers, a single father returning to his childhood home after years away. His struggle with family dynamics, particularly his estrangement from his father, adds a layer of depth to the story. The chemistry between him and Sadie is palpable, and their shared experiences make their connection even more compelling. As they both grapple with their pasts, it’s a joy to witness their personal growth and blossoming romance.

Bennett’s writing is warm and inviting, making it feel like you’re part of this close-knit community. The themes of love, family, and the magic of Christmas resonate beautifully, creating a perfect blend of emotion and joy. I found myself laughing, crying, and feeling utterly enchanted by their journey.

Overall, Snow is Falling is a heartwarming tale that’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit. If you’re looking for a cozy read that captures the essence of love and second chances, this book is an absolute must-read. I can’t wait to see what Sarah Bennett has in store for us next!

A Christmas family reunion forms the backdrop to this sweet, heartwarming second chance romance.

The prologue was most definitely not something you want to skip. It started this story off with a bang, with feelings of anger, sadness, and vindication all rolled into one. And it gave us the perfect introduction to Sadie and her frame of mind.

Sadie and Dylan were both such beautiful people who wholeheartedly deserved a second chance at love and happy-ever-after. Dylan’s reunion with his family was poignant and filled the pages with so much hope. In fact, this entire series can be summed up with that word – hope. Their romance was soft and gradual, and I loved every moment of them together, even with Sadie’s reservations.

This book has been an absolute pleasure to read. If you are looking for a closed-door romance that also centers around family, then this is the book for you. The books in this series each stand well on their own, but it’s worth starting at the beginning to get properly familiar with all the interesting characters.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Once again Sarah tells another story revolving round Juniper Meadows.
Sadie is a guest staying at the beautiful hotel for Christmas all alone after a traumatic break up, her children club together and buy her a fortnight away to be spoiled instead of running round after them all.
Dylan, the long lost brother of Ziggy, Zag and Stevie, makes his way home with his children ready to start reconnecting with his family and heal old wounds.
These two characters gel almost instantly, and along with some hilarious one liners from the children, start a friendship that turns to more.
It’s an easy going, warming story that is just as good as the others in this series and all the other books she’s written.
Many thanks to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read this arc copy via Netgalley. My opinion is my own.

Oh poor Sadie, the start of this book I really felt for her.

I absolutely love the idea of not being home for Christmas. I am married and would of course go with my hubby but it would save having to think about the stress of cooking.

The Twelve Days of Christmas programme at Juniper Meadows is such a great idea. Sadie really deserves the break after the time she's had and this is the perfect place to relax and make new friends.

I love all of Sarah's books but this one in particular I love because of my want of being away for Christmas somewhere with my hubby, this isn't possible for us at the moment but it's so good to escape into a book that has basically described exactly the sort of thing I want.

I love Christmas, it’s my favourite, with the amount of Christmas books and Christmas theme stories I am reading at the moment, it’s no wonder I’m getting extra hyped up and eager to get into the swing of things and start watching tv movies too. Sarah Bennett is one of my favourite authors of romantic reads, so it wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t have a story of Sarah’s to read.

This is such a heartwarming read, after some upset for the characters they both need new beginnings, fresh starts and I loved how they connected from the start, there was clearly a spark between Sadie and Dylan from the get go. It was so wonderful watching them grow, but with the obstacles and difficulties in their path will they get their second chance at love, will they grab at it, no spoilers but you’ll have to read.

I loved the uplifting and feel good nature of this story, the tension of will they , won’t they, how are they going to …. It’s full of the seasons spirit, but also family, community, second chances, new beginnings and of course love. If you want to melt in front of a warm fireplace this Christmas, then Snow is Falling is the perfect prescription.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Favorite Quote:

For the first time in forever all the separate bits of her– past, present and future– clicked into place and she felt whole.

My Review:

This was a lovely, amusing, and heartwarming tale that kept me delightfully entertained and fully engaged from start to finish. The writing style was easy to follow yet insightful and observant with generous lashings of wry humor and inner musings while the characters navigated the dynamics of their familial complications. I enjoyed this one so much that I find myself greedy for the rest of the series.

Sadie is a wonderful character. Faced with moving on when she is in her middle years she is realistic in her outlook on life. Dylan lives in Florida and she can see no way in which she and Dylan can move forward with their burgeoning romance. I liked her for her practicality and down to earth characteristics but I was rooting throughout for her and Dylan to find a way.

This is a heartwarming and life affirming book and I enjoyed every page. The author is a skilled storyteller and this was wonderful to snuggle down with.

This was a joy to read. It has wonderful characters, a lovely plot and the setting was ideal. I highly recommend it.

Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett

This is the fourth, and final, book in the Juniper Meadows series from this author, and as the title suggests it is a lovely Christmassy story to wrap up the series. The stories in this series are set in the Cotswolds, on the Juniper Meadows estate where the Travers family have lived for centuries. The Manor House has been converted into a luxury hotel and spa and most of the extended family, all of whom are involved in running the various activities on the estate, now live in the large farmhouse. Each of the books has focused particularly on one member of the family. Luckily, the author has included a character list at the beginning of this book, which I found very useful as I read along. While each of the books can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading each in turn as the collection makes a most enjoyable family saga.

This story centres on Dylan Travers, who has been estranged from the rest of the family after an unfortunate incident many years ago. He has been living in Florida for a long time, his ex-wife and children close at hand. His teen-aged children, Theo and Avery, have persuaded him to take them to stay at Juniper Meadows for their Twelve Days of Christmas holiday programme. While there, they meet Sadie Bingham, whose grow-nup children have gifted her the holiday. As the days go by, Dylan and his children grow closer to Sadie as they enjoy their stay at Juniper Meadows. Initially unsure of his feelings, Dylan also enjoys reuniting with the rest of the Travers family. However, at the end of the holiday, he and Sadie wonder what the future holds for them as they face returning to their lives so far apart.

It was great to return to Juniper Meadows and the amazing Travers family. This series has been so good that I have found myself waiting with anticipation for the each successive part to be released. Now I find myself wishing I could be joining in their wonderful festive programme. I was wondering which family member would be the focus of this book. It was a bonus to find that Dylan came with two wonderful children and that they invited Sadie, another loveable character, into their group. I am sure that anyone reading this book can’t fail to feel full of Christmas spirit by the end. I am going to miss Juniper Meadows and all the characters gathered there; I may well be returning to reread the books in the future.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

I just loved this book right from the start as I couldn’t put it down until I finished reading it. I just love this series and love all the characters and it made me long for Christmas so much.

I would highly recommend reading this book as it’s so amazing and heartwarming.

I would like to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book early.

I would firstly just like to say a big thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources who very kindly forwarded me an arc copy of this book, for my kindle, in return for my honest review…

Snow Is Falling is actually book number four from the Juniper Meadows series and is a perfect Winter romance full of festive goodness.

I absolutely loved being whisked away to the gorgeous, snowy Cotswolds and loved Juniper Meadows with its 12 days of Christmas festivities!

This book pulled me in right from the very beginning and it didn’t let me go again until i had turned every page and had finished it all.

I really, thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was such a festive, heartwarming, romantic, feel good read and left me with my heart full of goodness…….

A good and entertaining Christmas romance set in the lovely world of Juniper Meadows. WEll plotted and entertaining
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A heartwarming and hopeful Christmas story set in the idyllic Cotswolds.
Sadie's adult children treat her to a well-earned break at Juniper Meadows, the gorgeous Cotswolds estate owned by the Travers family.

Sadie decides to forget the past that's weighing her down and try to enjoy the packed Twelve Days of Christmas programme, trying new things and making new friends.

One of the other guests, is Dylan Travers who hasn’t been to his childhood home of Juniper Meadows for decades. After a huge fallout with his father Monty, he fled to the States where he has created a happy life for himself.

As they both try to navigate their feelings, they realise they have a great deal in common.

The story explores themes of healing, forgiveness, and the power of love to transform lives.

It is worth keeping in mind that sometimes, the most unexpected things happen in the most unlikely places, and that Christmas is a time for miracles. And sometimes, those miracles come in the form of people.

A book full of hope, all surrounded by Christmas.

Brilliant brilliant book. I loved the family the festiveness and the snow! This has great strong character’s, fun, festive feels and more. Sadie was fresh out of an unhappy marriage and Pete her ex had left her high and dry and ran off with a younger model. She’s sad and put on by her harridan of a mother. Her family adore her and club together to send her to juniper meadows to have the Christmas she deserves and to have some fun and relaxation.
She meets Dylan and his family who also are on eggshells as he returns to juniper meadows after many years away. They meet and sparks fly. This was just so lovely. I can’t wait to read more in the series. Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

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.

My Opinion

Welcome back to Juniper Meadows! Whilst Snow is Falling is the fourth book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone. Sadie's children have booked her a holiday for Christmas following a life changing discovery. Sarah Bennett has written a charming and delightful novel that I managed to read in one afternoon. This is definitely a book you will want to add to your want to read list for the upcoming festive season.

Rating 4/5

Really enjoyed this book in the Travers family (juniper meadows) series. The family is always outrageously entertaining and I had some worries Sadie’s mom might mess up the flow but it was handled well. Loved the Christmas setting and catching up with old characters as well as meeting new ones. Looking forward to the next in the series.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW

Review for 'Snow Is Falling' by Sarah Bennett.

This book is the fourth book in Sarah's 'Juniper Meadows' series but each book in this series can be read as a standalone.

Yet another absolute stunner from the extremely talented Sarah!!! Well done Sarah another an absolutely gorgeous and perfect read!! This is the ideal fireside read where you could sit there and turn around and just imagine the beautiful Juniper Meadows coming to life around you!

Well, you may have noticed I have started reading festive books regular and very early considering it is only September but it doesn't matter if you are the type who doesn't want to hear the word Christmas until the day or whether you have already started thinking about getting the decorations down because regardless of how you feel about Christmas you will absolutely LOVE this adorable story!! As I have mentioned it is the fourth book in this series, and sadly the last. However, the good thing about reading book series out of order is that you get to go back to the first book in this series which is called 'Where We Belong' and get stuck into the series from the start!!! Be still my beating heart!! I have only read one other book by this incredible author which just so happened to be the third book in this series and is called 'Come Rain Or Shine' and I absolutely LOVED IT!! I must admit that I was a bit dubious on how Sarah was going to manage another storyline better or even just as good as that one but there was absolutely no need to fret as Sarah does it yet again and manages to smash it out of the park only this time festive style!!! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE LOVED this absolutely gorgeous book and I can not only look forward to more books to read when they come out but can go back to the first book 'Where We Belong' while I am waiting for new ones to come out!!! Sarah's absolutely stunning evocative writing skills ensures the readers are absolutely sucked into the stunning storyline with the atmosphere, festivity and characters coming to life all around them. In this beautiful and bitter sweet addition and end to this gorgeous series we follow the story of Dylan Travers and Sadie Bingham. Sadie is looking forward to her holiday with her husband Paul but when she contacts the travel agents they booked the trip through she discovers her name has been replaced by another's. Sadie's life has changed but her grown up children surprise her with a trip to the beautiful Juniper Meadows. Dylan has walked his ex wife down the aisle and after giving his teenage children a choice of holiday the choose Juniper Meadows. Dylan has not been back to his childhood home of Juniper Meadows for decades and his family haven't even met his children. When they arrive his children tell him it is time to start dating again. Will Sadie get the second chance she deserves? Will Dylan be able to move on? How will his family react to his return?? Well, grab your copy of this absolutely gorgeous page turner today and find out for yourselves. I can promise that you will not regret it!! With a storyline ram packed with romance, friendship, Christmas, heartache, love, family, drama and absolutely everything plus much more than you can ever ask for in a festive page turner what are you waiting for? As soon as I got stuck back in to this book it felt like I returning to one of m y favourite holiday destinations again and I loved meeting old friends that I had made in 'Come rain Or Shine' as well as making many new ones. I was just absolutely devastated that it is the last book in this series and I had tears in my eyes saying Goodbye to characters who have started to feel like family so quickly!! the good thing is that I can go back and read the first two books in this series and reunite with some of them again for a short time so that is exactly what I am planning to do as soon as I have finished typing this up! Sarah ensures the reader sees and hears everything going on as well as falling in love with the characters and the beautiful surroundings. I absolutely venturing back into the stunning and love filled Juniper Meadows, meeting the amazing characters including all the amazing animals and getting completely lost in this stunning storyline! I am a huge animal lover and run my own cat rescue called Golden Oldies Cat Rescue and Hospice (you can find me on social media if interested) so any books that contain animals is always a huge bonus for me and this is absolutely rammed with amazing animals from dogs to sheep and much more!! I became so invested in this book that it actually felt like going on a holiday and I absolutely dreaded coming to the end again where I had to unpack my suitcase and get back to reality. It was an absolutely compelling and addictive heart lifting read that kept me turning the pages until late at night. I loved discovering the pasts and histories of the characters and I was absolutely swept away in the story line. The characters and locations came to life around me in this stunning series that I have very quickly fallen in love with. It has everything you could ask for to lose yourself for several hours. I just could not put it down so make sure you clear your schedules!!!! This book and this series would make a beautiful movie!! This book is an absolutely gorgeous, stunning and addictive addition and finale in this absolutely stunning series!!

Do not turn a single page of this book until you have cleared your schedules and when you do get ready to go on a stunning holiday you will not want to leave!!

Although this is the fourth book in this stunning series I had absolutely no problems reading it without reading the first two books. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader.

I very quickly became completely invested in the new characters, along with the storyline, who were all absolutely fantastic with their own individual personalities and quirks. They all started feeling like friends so quickly and I cannot wait to meet some of them along with new characters in the previous books in this stunning series!! I also loved meeting the previous characters from 'Come Rain And Shine' again and it genuinely felt like meeting up with old friends again. When I cane to the end I felt like I was leaving amazing people and friends and feel sad about that! Each of the characters have rich personalities and they will all stay with me for a long time. I absolutely love the fact that Sarah starts the book with a list of all the characters which includes some information on them. This is a fantastic idea and I haven't seen it much and wish more authors would do it. It is very helpful to be able to go back to remind yourself who certain characters are especially when you pick up a book in a series so thank you for this thoughtful addition Sarah!!! This is one of those stunning books where I loved the majority of the characters so much I genuinely could write an essay on them but it would be better for you to meet them for yourself. The fact that Sarah clearly cares about her characters absolutely shines through the pages with the fact that they are so well developed, realistic and every character has a part. I just absolutely adored getting to meet them and I'm looking forward to meeting them all over again in the first and second books in this fantastic series. An absolutely fantastic, unique and memorable group of amazing characters that I wont forget anytime soon!!

Congratulations Sarah on another absolutely gorgeous success!!! I'm definitely looking forward to my next holiday to Juniper Meadows in the first two books in this stunning series!!! This is exactly why you are in my favourite author club and here is to your next success 🥂 !!!

Overall a perfect, stunning, page turning festive fireplace escapism, with a great gang of characters that will sweep you away to Juniper Meadow from the very first page to the end by the extremely talented Sarah Bennett!!

I love this series and good to finally meet Dylan the missing member of the family. Lovely Christmassy story with the hotel making the most of the season and it will definitely get you in the mood. Sadie is a great character and certainly deserves the new chance of romance and a bit of fun in her life. Great book for curling up in front of the fire
