If you are looking for a cute feel good Christmas romance story then this is the perfect option! However if you are looking for a book with plot and tension, this might not be the one.

This book is a perfect christmas story about family, friends, finding yours, second beginnings and love with just a tiny hint of drama. The writing is pleasant and the characters are lovely. I was missing some plot and tension and due to this i felt like the story was kinda slow. However this was definitely a feel good Christmas second beginning romance story which i absolutely adored. And i loved following Sadie's and Dylan's story ❤️

Thank you netgalley for providing this arc!

A must-read cosy Christmas romance set in the Cotswolds.

I will start by saying that if the Juniper Meadows estate existed and hosted such Christmas events in the Cotswolds, I would have definitely booked myself in for the holidays. (Unfortunately it doesn't exist - I checked.)

I was not aware this book was part of the series - it was really easy to follow and I have added the other three books to my TBR list.

When life takes an unexpected turn, Sadie's children treat her to a two-week Christmas break in the Juniper Meadows. Dylan returns home to the Juniper Meadows after three decades to introduce his teenage kids to his estranged family. A heartwarming story of love, friendship second chances and mending of family relationships.

A really big thank you to #BoldwoodBooks and #Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read the book prior to its release, in return of an honest review.

I received a free copy of, Snow is Falling, by Sarah Bennett, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This is book 4 of 4 in The Juniper Meadows series. Sadie is shocked when she found out her husband is cheating on her, at the holidays no less. Starting over is never easy, but Sadie has to move on. This was a good read.

What an absolute treat to return to Juniper Meadows and at Christmas time too! Another fabulous story from Sarah and I hope we can return soon to see how Sadie, Dylan and the rest of the Travers family fair in the not too distant future

A lovely, Christmas read that I couldn't put down! This was my first book from the Juniper Meadows series and I will definitely be adding the rest to my Christmas reading list now! After Sadie's life is turned upside down right before her retirement getaway with her husband she is treated to a Christmas getaway by her children to Juniper Meadows. Dylan is returning home for the first time in a while to face his family and introduce his children to their extended family. I really liked both Sadie & Dylan's characters, and the rest of the family characters who were well rounded, especially Dylan's two children. A lovely easy read that will be perfect for the Christmas season.

A great festive romance set in the beautiful Cotswolds. I hadn’t realised it was part of a series but it didn’t matter as I could follow it easily. It was great for it to be a later in life second chance romance. Perfect seasonal story

Absolutely brilliant, festive romance by the amazing author Sarah Bennett.

This book is set in the lead up to Christmas and follows the wonderful Travers Family and Dylan Travers who has not been home too the family home, Junior Meadows, in a long time. this winter he is bringing his two teenage children home to meet the family for the first time and spend Christmas with them.

A hug in a book and will leave you happy and wanting more!

I think this has to be my favourite of the series so far. There was a lot of characters but it was easy enough to keep track of them. A fantastic festive read.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Sadie is hoping to meet new people. She meets Dylan who is returning home with his kids. I liked this book.

Really enjoyed this one. Read in one sitting and I really didn't want it to end.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this lovely book in exchange for an honest review.

Sadie Bingham is in shock. Her life has been turned upside down and she is trying to find her way forward. When her children buy her a Christmas package for Juniper Meadows in the Cotswolds, Sadie is initially unsure but deciding to take a chance she throws herself into the experience.
Dylan Travers has returned to Juniper Meadows from Florida, after many years away, bringing his children to meet his family. Unsure of the reception that awaits them Dylan is wary. Is it too late to make amends for the past?
When Sadie and Dylan meet there is an instant connection between them. But, as they live thousands of miles apart, it’s clear nothing more can happen. Juniper Meadows is a magical place, especially at Christmas, will that magic weave it’s spell on Sadie and Dylan.
This is a lovely, joyful story that will captivate and uplift. If you have read previous book sin this series or if you are new to them this is the perfect way to warm up on a cold afternoon.

I also didn’t realise that this was part of a series, but tbh, it didn’t matter at all- other than making me want to read the rest of the series!
Don’t save it until Christmas- that is my advice- read it now. The sun is beating down here but I really felt as if I was in the middle of winter. A lovely read.

This is a lovely addition to this wonderful series. This book was my first Christmas read of this year and I absolutely loved it. The characters are so engaging and the storyline just rolls along which kept me turning the pages.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Rating: 3.75 /5 stars
I love romance novels. And I usually don’t read this type of romance to often and by that I mean the cheesy cartoon covers almost romcom hallmark kind of romances but this convinced me that this may be the genre for me. I enjoyed all the characters and the Christmas vibes were there and I don’t even celebrate Christmas. It was genuinely well written and I definitely enjoyed it.

Thanks to Boldwood Books, I was provided an ARC of Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett
via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It follows Sadie, who, after divorcing her cheating husband, is treated to a Christmas getaway at Juniper Meadows by her adult children. Meanwhile, Dylan, who left Juniper Meadows years ago, returns with his teenage kids to reconnect with his past. The story beautifully explores themes of family reconnection, finding love in your fifties, and discovering what truly matters during the holiday season.

The Travers family, known for their warmth and resilience, welcomes Dylan back with open arms, adding to the book’s comforting atmosphere. Sadie and Dylan's relationship stands out for its honesty and maturity, making their bond feel authentic and refreshing. While the characters may seem a bit idealized, this only enhances the book's sweet and uplifting tone. The setting is so vividly portrayed that it feels like a real place readers might want to visit.

Overall, it is a feel-good read, perfect for those looking for a low-drama, heartwarming story filled with love, family, and holiday magic.

A beautiful, mature romance.

One that focuses on not just the couple, but the family involved too.

It was wonderful to see the interactions between the characters, both young and old.

Refreshing.

The backdrop of where they were staying and the festive element added a cosy, comforting feel to the story.

With satisfying ending, overall an enjoyable, easy read, one that is perfect to curl up under a blanket with.

A really enjoyable read!

Didn’t realise it was part of a series. But it was easy to follow so I didn’t feel overly confused by it. Definitely going to check out the others!

Thank you!

This is definitely a comfy chair and hot chocolate novel! Wonderfully warm and Christmassy, a lovely novel to start the season off. I didn't realise it was part of a series until I started it but it can definitely be read as a standalone. I now have to read the rest just because it's so good!

This is the fourth book in the juniper meadows series I would recommend reading them all in order for full enjoyment and reading pleasure.

This was another cosy instalment with a gorgeous setting and fabulous characters and also explored the themes of reconnecting with family and also finding love when you least expect it I really wish juniper meadows was real as could just imagine myself cosied up there and wished on more jan one occasion while reading that I was Sadie as sounded like a perfect location for rest and relaxation and to find yourself again.

In addition it had a cosy Christmas feel. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
