This is book #4 of the Juniper Meadows series. Whilst it is part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone book. We are back at Juniper Meadows just before Christmas. Sadie Bingham has been gifted a Christmas break at the luxurious estate by her family. Her marriage has broken up and this is her first Christmas on her own. Dylan Travers is heading back home to the estate with his two children having been away from his family for years. He's also single and even though he has a family reunion to work through, he finds an instant attraction between himself and Sadie.

This was a lovely read, and my first Christmas book of the year! I've read all the other books in the series, so it was nice to return back to Juniper Meadows, especially at such a festive time! Sadie is a lovely character, and it was great to see the lead romantic character to be a middle aged woman! Dylan is also a lovely character, not to mention very pleasing on the eye! I liked him from the very beginning, but when he began listing all of Sadie's good points I found him all the more likeable!

This was probably my favourite book of the series. I found myself hooked into Sadie and Dylan's storyline very quickly and it was very easy to read. The other characters within the book were also very likeable and it was wonderful to be back amongst the Juniper Meadows family! The setting of the estate at Christmas was very appealing and as I read I could imagine the Christmas market, crafts and, of course, all the snow! I also loved the murder mystery evening which sounded great fun! It was a fabulously festive read full of love, laughter and family dramas. Would recommend!

An enjoyable Christmas novel filled with lovely seasonal touches. Sure to get you in the holiday mood!

The last book I read in this series was Come Rain or Shine. I would highly recommend reading the others in the series before getting to this point because the Travers family are better enjoyed in this visit if the reader is familiar with the backgrounds.

There were a lot of explosive reveals in the previous book and I was looking forward to the ( maybe?) final book. After dealing with several younger members in the previous books, we meet the reclusive Dylan who has stayed away from the family for years. He is older and has two children who want to know their father’s side. He brings them to Juniper Meadows over Christmas.

Sadie is gifted the opportunity to stay at Juniper Meadows by her Children and this leads to the happy chance of her crossing paths with Dylan.

The story is simple and about how to make up and move on in bigger complex families. The Travers family is not all goodwill, but by the time the book ends, everything will be almost ‘happily ever after’.

I would highly recommend this series in its entirety to anyone who likes a good family based set of books.

I received an ARC thanks to Netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

Gorgeous comforting warm hug of a book!! Totally loved this final part of the Juniper Meadows set of four books. Can be read as a stand alone but actually it’s well worth reading all four, for the wonderful characters, creativity, imagination and a thoroughly great read! Easy reading the book flows beautifully, this is a joy!
Sadie is beginning to rebuild her life after finding out her husband wasn’t the man she thought he was. Her family have all clubbed together to treat her to her favourite break, a hotel and spa holiday over Christmas, in the beautiful Cotswolds at the Juniper Meadows estate. The promise of Twelve days of Christmas celebrations are giving her hope for her future. Can she be brave enough to make new friends?
Dylan is bringing his two teenage children back home from Florida in the States where he has built a life for himself for the last few decades, it’s time for him to reconnect with the family he left so long ago. Can he rebuild his relationship with his family?!
Snow is Falling is a fabulous Christmas book with all the trimmings!! I became completely involved with the characters and the story, inspiring me to think about what I need this Yuletide season!
I have loved all four of this set of books which are quite different in story line and content.
Hugely recommend this tale for a perfect winter festive read, along with some hot chocolate or your favourite festive treats!
Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood books for the early read. Much appreciated!! Loved it!!

This was a bittersweet read as I was aware that it was the last instalment in this planned series. We’ll be off on a new adventure soon, but I had grown rather fond of the Travers family and the inhabitants of Juniper Meadows.
This time, we got to meet Dylan Travers and his children. Dylan is the prodigal son of the family and left before his siblings took control of the estate from their father. It’s soon evident that nature has played a considerable role in his adulthood, as he has matured into a man with similar values to his siblings and little in common with his erstwhile father. It was a pleasure to discover a new book boyfriend and to learn more about his background.
Sadie was the embodiment of women of a certain age. Having given possibly her best years to her husband, she finds herself on the proverbial scrap heap as he doesn’t see the same future as her or, indeed, with her. Sadie has little time to deal with her new reality of a smaller home away from everything she knew, as her children send her on a dream holiday over the Christmas period. I liked Sadie and felt genuine sympathy for her changed circumstances. The thought of starting again so much later in life is daunting and not something I would relish.
Once again, Juniper Meadows and the team played a perfect role as the ensemble cast of supporting characters came to the fore and absorbed Dylan back into the family. They welcomed Sadie like an old friend and allowed us a glimpse of how familiar names have progressed as the business has grown. This delightful Cotswold community has brought me great pleasure, and I can imagine them all going from strength to strength.
The writing conveys the perfect level of warmth and drama, with a real sense of kindness as the central theme. Each character is perfectly imagined, and the issues that have arisen for each of them have been sensitively handled. This book, and indeed the series, is simply outstanding, and I highly recommend them.

Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett is a lovely story written in the winter. I understand it is a series. But it was a wonderful story to read as a standalone. As in all stories there is some sadness but for the most part there was tons of happiness.

A delightful Christmas read. Full of atmosphere on the country estate and its special treats for its clients. The reconciliation of the estate’s family is welcome as is the building of a new relationship between Dylan and Sadie . This is the final book in the series but can be read as a standalone.

I could not put this one down! I loved how deep the family runs in this book with various generations involved, and how they all come together to run the family business. This book has the perfect Christmas setting with all the things you want in a holiday romance: snow, warm beverages, caroling, crafts, reading, snowmen, and a second chance of finding love. I really enjoyed all the (main) characters on both family sides. I really enjoyed the realism of some of these relationships (teenage children on phones), but also their warmth. Excited to explore some more titles by Sarah Bennett.

I haven't read the other books in this series, but you can bet I'm already ordering them to jump in!

I loved everything about this, although as someone with siblings on other continents, I do wish there was more of a getting to re-know you, and more with the cousins. But overall it was excellent!

This is my first book written by this Author but it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed the characters and their family backgrounds in this story. I read this in a few sittings as I could not wait to see how things worked out. Juniper Meadows is a lovely sounding country estate with a spa that sounds the perfect place to spend the Christmas holiday period. The Travers family run the place between themselves and have created a fantastic environment for fun, laughter and relaxation. I would go in a heartbeat.

After having learned a little about Dylan in the previous book of the series, I was really excited to learn more about him here. He is an interesting character for the series because he's part of the Juniper Meadows family but also a little bit of an outsider as a result of being gone for so long. I would have liked more between him and his siblings - you get kind of a "no hard feelings, all is forgiven" moment and that wraps everything up as far as what happened years ago. It also would have been nice to see more of him and the kids getting to know Dylan's niece and nephews and their partners. I loved Sadie from the moment she confronted her dirtbag husband and threw the pot at his car - she may have felt she lost some dignity there but I think she responded perfectly. And of course I loved that the kids immediately took her side and put together a plan for her to have some time away and pamper herself. Juniper Meadows at Christmas time is pretty much the perfect place - I found myself more than once wishing I could go there. Dylan and Sadie's relationship develops pretty quickly but not so quickly you don't believe it has a future. The fact that his kids are acting as little matchmakers was really sweet. I liked that this ends with the promise of a long-term relationship without tying up all the loose ends that they still need to figure out.

After her divorce Sadie is treated by her children to a two week break starting at Juniper Meadows. Dylan is estranged from his family, who own Juniper Meadows, having moved to America. After giving his ex-wife away when she remarries he decides to go back home with his son and daughter for the Christmas celebrations. When Sadie and Dylan start spending time together can they overcome their personal issues?
I always enjoy it when the latest book in a series that I've previously read comes out, and this one is no exception. It did take me a little while to get back into the story, that's the problem with reading so many different series , but I soon got back into it and the different story threads. I liked both the main characters and was hoping that they could come to terms with their issues. It's one of those books to give you a warm feeling whilst reading it and I would certainly love to have joined them for the Christmas celebrations.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

What a superb ending to this series, in fact I am sad to see it end. Brilliant characters in a wonderful setting, I would so love to go to juniper meadows and spend Christmas in the hotel and spa. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant

I love this series from Sarah Bennett. Juniper Meadows is a magnificent family estate, the stately home now turned in to a hotel complex incorporating arts & crafts workshop spaces, a micro brewery and working farm land. It is home to the ever expanding Travers Family.

In “Snow is Falling” we get to know the estranged son, Dylan and the wondering, selfish patriarch, Monty. Dylan returns to spend Christmas with the family allowing his young teenage children to meet everyone for the first time, whilst enjoying all the benefits of Christmas as guests at the hotel. We are also introduced to Sadie, a hotel guest, recently single and very much in need of rest and fun away from the busy lives her children & grandchildren lead, memories of her cheating husband and her opinionated mother. Sadie soon finds herself enjoying her time at Juniper Meadows socialising, walking, crafting and dancing the night away. She makes new friends and even catches the eye of Dylan. Romance is in the air and once again the magic of Juniper Meadows on more than one of the guests. Meanwhile Monty is still staying in his van, hanging out at the pub and continuing to make himself persona non grata with his attitude towards his wife and family.

The book is a seasonal delight, full of Christmassy events such as tree decorating, craft fairs, ice skating, lantern lit walks, snow and carol singers. I will miss visiting Juniper Meadows, reading the books genuinely felt like visiting family myself, wrapped up warm in the arms of the Travers family.

As it is the middle of August I have not read any Christmas books yet this year as I usually wait until October for festive reads but, when I was lucky enough to be asked to read an advanced copy of Sarah Bennett's latest book I could not resist - and what an absolute Christmas cracker to start with.
Being a similar age to the main characters - Dylan and Sadie (50ish) was refreshing as a lot of the books I read have the main characters in their 20/30's. Milly Johnson also does this and it is interesting to see how family commitments, duty and age can influence decisions.
The majority of the story takes place in Juniper Meadows which we have visited before in books 1 to 3 of this series. For me it was wonderful to catch up with what now feel like old friends but, this book can very much be read as a stand alone story.
Sadie has been gifted a two week stay at Juniper Meadows by her children after a very difficult year and Dylan is there with his two teenage children to meet his family.
All the events for the twelve days of Christmas sound amazing and I would really like to visit - it is such a shame that this is an imaginary place. Every day different activities have been arranged for the guests to join in with (if they want to) and reading about them makes you want to start your Christmas shopping and create a perfect Christmas for your family.
Wonderful descriptions of the hotel, food, people bring everything to life. An absolutely lovely festive read I can not recommend enough..

Divorced Sadie is given a Christmas vacation to a luxury resort. Divorced Dylan decides to take his children to England to his estranged family’s resort for Christmas. While Sadie is working on her confidence at being alone, Dylan is falling in love with her. Can a holiday romance last when they live on different continents? I received an ARC from NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my honest review.

It's been lovely to be once again back at Juniper Meadows. This is the 4th book in the series but can be read as a stand only story.
It took a few chapters for me to remember all the cast from the previous books but once I did everything came together.
Sadie's two grown up children have gifted her two weeks at Juniper Meadows over Christmas. A chance for her to get away and relax after her cheating husband left her to pick up the threads of her life.
In American Dylan has just stood in for the father of his ex wife to give her away on her wedding day. His two children were asked where they would like to go for Christmas with him as their mother will be away on her honeymoon.
The children present him with the details of a Twelve Days of Christmas holiday at Juniper Meadows. Dylan is a bit shocked as it's owned and ran by his estranged family.
Dylan walked out on them 19yrs ago when he caught his brother kissing his girlfriend. He now has an excuse to return as his children want to connect with their other family.
I loved this book as I loved the other three. I now know where I would love to go for Christmas and it's such a shame that it only exists within the pages of this book.
The twelve Days of Christmas theme was magical with a murder mystery night and lantern walks etc. If a hotelier reads this book they will be copying quite a few of the ideas for their own hotel.
Dylan's children are a delight and it was good to see Sadie transforming into her old self or should it be new self.
The rest of Dylan's family are lovely except for Monty but there's hope for him yet.
I do hope this isn't the last book in the series because it's the only way I can experience life at Juniper Meadows again.

Sadie’s family gives her a two week stay at Juniper Meadows. It’s a beautiful estate owned by the Travers family.
Dylan hasn’t been home in a long time. His kids decide they want to spend Christmas at Juniper Meadows.
It’s a lovely sounding location that will make you wish you were spending the holidays there. It’s a nice story with friends, family and the possibility of new love

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This is book 4 of 4 and I feel like you could read it alone. I hadn't read any of the others. Sadie is shocked to find out that her husband is having an affair. Especially at the holidays. This was a cute holiday story about love and family and starting over.

The only thing wrong with this book is that it's book 4 and I hate reading out of order! And more the fact I've somehow missed this series. How?
It's a heartwarming read. Sarah has a real way of writing where you just stroll easily through page after page swept up In a warm and cosy reading atmosphere.
The characters were great. And I liked how they all came together and helped eachother learn and grow and perhaps...love?
The character list at the front was fab. And it really helped, having not read the others. But seeing each of these characters, and knowing that they each had their own story to tell previously had me itching to know how they came to be in this installment.
I'm definitely going to investigate the other books from this author. I want to no more of the characters from this brilliant layered family and community as soon as possible.
