“Snow is Falling” by Sarah Bennett is a delightful end to the Juniper Meadows series. Set during the festive holiday season, this book follows Sadie Bingham, who, after a life-changing event, is given the chance to recharge at Juniper Meadows. Dylan Travers, returning home after years abroad, is also dealing with his own personal struggles as he reconnects with his family and introduces his teen children to their roots. The two cross paths, and their bond grows throughout the Twelve Days of Christmas celebrations.

Bennett’s writing radiates warmth and charm, especially in capturing the cozy, Christmas atmosphere. The focus on family, healing, and new beginnings adds emotional depth to the story, making it a satisfying conclusion to the series.

This is a heartwarming story with plenty of holiday cheer and a perfect escape for the season.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital review copy of Snow is Falling. I hope you enjoy my thoughts and pick up your copy today.

Ladies life is stuck in a rut, her husband left her for another woman and her mother can't stop telling her everything she is doing wrong with her life, and Christmas is coming.

When her children surprise her with a two week activity holiday at Juniper Meadows over the Christmas holidays she is looking forward to two weeks focusing on herself rather than everyone else.

Dylan is in florida and hix wife just got married, as she is on honeymoon, Dylan offers to take the kids anywhere they want to go he is very surprised when they ask him to visit Juniper Meadows, the family estate back in the UK. Dylan had not returned there since a falling out with his father but is it time to Bury the hatchet.

This was an amazing book and is the first book in the series that I have read and can't wait to catch up, the characters and the descriptions were so wonderful I could almost imagine myself there.

Definitely recommend this book

This was a cute Christmas romance that left me feeling good. It had the perfect cozy Christmas vibes and was a lighthearted read.

What a gorgeous story, I loved every minute of reading it. A very warming Christmas time read that curling up by a log fire with hot chocolate drink would be appropriate. I would recommend this to anyone to read, there are no negatives about this novel.

As always her style of writing always draws you in.

Lovely characters as always and a beautiful story.

Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett is a heartwarming, festive tale that perfectly captures the magic and challenges of the holiday season. Set in the picturesque Cotswolds, the story follows Sadie, who is fully embracing the Twelve Days of Christmas celebrations in her charming village, while navigating new friendships and creating fresh memories. Sadie is ready to make the most of this time, even as she faces the complexities of her own life.

Enter Dylan Travers, a man returning to his childhood home in Juniper Meadows after decades of estrangement from his father. Dylan has settled in the States, built a life, and raised his children, but with their curiosity about their family roots, he’s back in the Cotswolds to reconnect. As he tries to bridge the gap with his cantankerous father and introduce his kids to their heritage, Dylan finds himself at a crossroads, emotionally and personally.

What follows is an unexpected yet delightful romance between Sadie and Dylan, as they both face different but equally transformative Christmas experiences. The chemistry between them is undeniable as they bond over shared experiences and face difficult family dynamics, including Dylan’s strained relationship with his father and Sadie’s reflections on her own future.

Bennett does a wonderful job of weaving together a narrative that balances personal growth, romance, and the hope of finding a fresh start during the holiday season. Snow is Falling is full of heart, with a perfect mix of festive cheer and emotional depth. It’s a beautifully written story about second chances, healing, and the surprising twists life can take when you least expect them. Fans of sweet, holiday romances will find themselves swept up in this charming tale.

Not going to lie this one was a fairly predicable Christmas rom com, not that that is a bad thing. Sometimes you need predicable.

I have always loved this author and this was the perfect book to curl up with over Christmas. I loved the setting and the families we were introduced too. A book that will make you laugh and tear up in equal measures. I love it when you just want to keep reading and this book had me lost in this festive world with Dylan and Sadie

This was an okay read but it did take me a while to get into the story as I wasn't connecting with the character.

Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett was a great, light, easy to read book. Brilliant story that kept me hooked throughout. Although this is the fourth book in the series I hadn’t read the first three so it definitely is a stand alone book. Could not put this book down.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. Despite being the fourth in a series, I didn't feel on the back foot by not having read previous books. This worked fantastically as a standalone book, although one which whetted my appetite to catch up with other books in the series. This was an enjoyable, festive read. Bennett created engaging characters, both main and supporting, I was invested in the relationship between Dylan and Sadie, and the setting was beautiful.

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.

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.
