⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Sarah Bennett delivered another charming romance with interesting, well-developed characters that kept me glued to the pages.

Juniper Meadows is home to much of Rhys’s extended family, not to mention the many local businesses that operate on the estate, so there’s no time to sit back and enjoy the view. Juniper Meadows is a full-time job, and that doesn’t leave much time for romance. Tasha Blake’s career leaves no time for romance either, much to her mother’s chagrin. When her job takes her to Juniper Meadows for an extended project, the slower pace of life, the beauty of the countryside and the warmth of the Travers family, soon has Tasha in its thrall, and the future Lord of the Manor Rhys Travers is rather easy on the eye too. As the busyness of life on the estate sweeps Tasha and Rhys along, they are both able to ignore the secrets and silences that are growing between them. But when the future of Juniper Meadows hangs in the balance, loyalties and love are tested to breaking point. When the chips are down, can Rhys and Tasha see a future together, come rain or shine?

MY THOUGHTS

Tasha is exactly what Rhys needs. A wholly independent woman who don’t need him to provide for her, but just to love her for who she is. Rhys rises spectacularly to the occasion. Along with the entire Travers family, they show her that they will always have her back, no matter what.  

Things are heating up with Cam’s archaeological dig and I’m there for every exciting minute of it.

This series is for you if you like sweet romance with some mild intrigue. It’s best to read the books in order as some events carry over from one book to the next.

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