The 4th book in this series and a great festive read. It can be a standalone too which we all love and it’s got the right mix of storyline and Christmas cosy.

Brilliant next instalment in the Juniper Meadows series. We meet new characters, and catch up with old. I love these books for their hopefulness and readability. A setting I can really imagine too (I want to visit the gin distillery!)

What a cosy, feel good book! This was absolutely perfect for the winter festive season - it has all the right ingredients to make a good read. It had Sarah Bennett's usual fantastic story telling, likeable characters, a good plot, and all with a bit of Christmas magic thrown in. If you're wanting something uplifting to read, grab a blanket, grab a hot chocolate, and settle in with this gem of a book!
Would definitely recommend.

With thanks to the publisher, and to Netgalley, for an e-ARC to read and review.

No book needs a character list as long as the one this one had. I was continuously lost and almost Dnf a few times

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 book was cute and fun. It wasn’t my favorite Christmas book but I really enjoyed it. I would recommend for anyone who wants to get into the Christmas spirit. The beginning did confuse me a tiny bit.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy to honestly review.

Another lovely romantic read from Sarah Bennett, who never fails to deliver at this time of year.

It was a nice easy cosy read and one that was perfect for the run up to Christmas to get you in a lovely festive spirit.

A great wintery read, perfect to read over the Christmas holidays.

I loved the setting, although not realising this is a return to Juniper Meadows I did find their to be many characters to keep track of, however don't let that put you off.

Thank you to the Author, Publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This is a heartwarming addition to the Juniper Meadows series and provides the perfect blend of festive cheer, romance, and personal growth.
The story follows Sadie, who after a heartbreaking discovery, is treated to a much needed escape at Juniper Meadows by her thoughtful children. While there, she meets Dylan, a single father returning to his estranged family home after decades. Both are at crossroads in their lives—Sadie contemplating her future after her husband's betrayal, and Dylan confronting the weight of his past.
The romance between Sadie and Dylan feels authentic and earned, driven by their shared struggles and vulnerabilities. Their journey of connection, from tentative friendship to something deeper, is handled with sensitivity and warmth. Dylan's relationship with his father Monty and his attempt to bridge the gap for the sake of his children adds an emotional depth that resonates throughout the story.
If you're looking for an uplifting holiday romance with themes of family, forgiveness, and finding love when you least expect it, this is the perfect choice. A seasonal tale brimming with hope and joy, makes it an excellent addition to any festive reading list.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

As soon as I saw the long list of characters at the beginning, I kind of knew it would be a bit of a hassle to keep track of all the arcs. To top it all up, I didn't read any of the previous books in the series.
The writing style is lovely and pleasant, but the story felt a bit bland to my newbie eyes.

I have really enjoyed this series and was particularly looking forward to this festive finale. However, I don’t think this book was as good as the other stories and I found I was quite bored by the plot.

Unlike the other novels, we are instead seeing Juniper Meadows from the perspective of the clients as newly-single Sadie is spending a fortnight at the estate for Christmas. Recently separated from her cheating husband, her children see this as an opportunity to have some “me time”. But what Sadie doesn’t expect is to start having feelings for a gorgeous American who is also at the hotel. Is this just a festive romance or something more? And how can this relationship work across the pond?

I found this change of perspective to be a bit refreshing, as the other stories have been seeing Juniper Meadows from behind the scenes. However, I think because the main characters are of an older demographic, I struggled to feel interested in them. Furthermore, despite having read all the books and seeing the character list at the start of the novel, I still struggled with the number of characters and found it difficult to keep track of who was who. This is a shame because it definitely impacted my enjoyment and I thought the additional characters sometimes breezed through scenes so quickly, I just couldn’t keep up with them.

Ultimately, I was hoping for another “young recruit” to help the wheels of Juniper Meadows keep moving. As this is what we have seen with the remainder of the books, this change of direction threw me. Whilst I enjoyed seeing the final brother return to Juniper Meadows, I think there was still unfinished business between the older members of the family. I also think I wanted to see more of the romantic connections that were established in the earlier stories.

Overall, this is an easy, romantic read and I was pleased to see Sadie get her happy ever after. I loved spending Christmas at Juniper Meadows and all the festivities that were organised. As a final book to the series, this wasn’t my most favourite, but I have enjoyed it overall and look forward to what Bennett releases next.

With thanks to Boldwood books and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a great festive book!

Sadie has been treated to a Christmas break at Juniper Meadows by her children after her husband leaves her for someone else. Juniper meadows is owned by the Travers family and is in the beautiful Cotswolds.

Sadie makes the most of the break and joins in the festivities of The 12 Days of Christmas. She makes some new friends and new memories.

Dylan Travers, who now lives in America, has returned to his childhood home with his two children after a family rift to build some bridges and for his children to get to know their family.

Although they’re there for different reasons Dylan and Sadie find they have a lot in common and end up spending a lot of time together. How would this work in the “real life” they surely live too far apart! Will they both find their happy ever after or will this just be a holiday memory for them both?
