I very much enjoyed this book.  It has a good story and excellent main characters.  I would definately recommend this book.

Awesome book! I really loved this book. It is a great written novel. Will recommend it to everyone! Kept me wanting more.

Iggy is desperate to reinvigorate the gardens of her home, Bluebell Castle. The only way she thinks she can make any sense of the centuries old plans is by recruiting the devilishly handsome celebrity gardener Will.  

Will is in no position to be running off to the country to work on a garden project. He has far too much to do in London. But when a scandal hits, he turns up at the castle door to see what is needed to be done. 

The connection between Iggy and Will is immediate, can the man from the council estate and the sister of a baronet find their happy ever after? 

I seem to be reading this series in reverse order. However I am enjoying this family dynamic and am looking forward to reading the first one in the series.

Time’s running out for Iggy Ludworth to restore the wild gardens of Camland Castle in time for the Summer Fete, so she ropes in hotshot gardener Will Talbot…

But she regrets her decision as soon as he sets foot in the historic grounds – not only is Will arrogant and bossy, he’s totally gorgeous!

And very soon, sparks are flying amongst the bluebells. Yet with summer nearly over, will their summer fling convince Will and Iggy to go the distance? 

This was such a sweet romance!

A lovely book, full of charm. 2nd in the series, took sometime to remember all the elements but well worth it.

Really enjoyed Iggy’s story, her position in the family and the interplay with her brothers. Some fun characters and a predictable outcome but that didn’t diminish the enjoyment at all 

Could be read standalone but lends itself to being part of a series. 

I’m looking forward to reading book three!

Iggy is desperate to get the castle grounds back in shape before the summer fete but it is a massive task and she knows she needs help and who better than the gorgeous celebrity gardener Will.   Will needs to get out of London fast before a scandal breaks and where better to lie low than the beautiful castle but he wasn't banking on the attraction he felt for Iggy!

Another lovely book in this series and it is great to be back with the triplets and the rest of the cast of characters.  Perfect light summer read that you won't want to put down

A romantic story but quite predictable. Jumps in the story occurred which I didn’t realise until about half way down the page which was slightly confusing. Quite slow in parts. I found the second half of the book more enjoyable the first half. I hadn’t read the first in the triology but this holds up as a stand alone read. 

Thank you Netgalley

This was a treat to read. I've been waiting for this book since finishing the first book, Spring Skies Over Bluebell Castle. 

This time around, the story is about Iggy and her efforts to help restore Bluebell Castle to its former glory and open up the grounds to the public. She enlists the help of celebrity gardener Will Talbot, but they get off to a rocky start. While getting to know a bit more about Iggy, we find that she has a big job getting the lands of the estate up to par, but also find out about her insecurities about self and what her future is going to look like after Arthur and Lucie tie the knot and Lucie becomes the Lady of Bluebell Castle. We eventually find out that her mother plays a part in her self insecurities, but I don't think the insecurities about what her role in managing the estate is going to be by the end. I hope it is a happy resolution by the end of the trilogy. It was great to catch up with all of the characters in the book. There's even a budding romance between Lancelot and Lucie's mother Constance. I hope there is someone for Morgana,but I don't think that exists.

I am looking forward to the last book in the trilogy that fucuses on Tristan. I want to hear more about him.

Another great story in the series. Another wonderful book by Sarah Bennet. I enjoy reading series in order so I suggest it. A big fan.

fter reading the first book in the series I was so excited to read the sequel and I was not disappointed. It is the perfect summer read. 
This time the book tells the story of Iggy, full name Igraine. 
Iggy is trying her best to help with the revamp of Camland Castle, affectionately known as Bluebell Castle. She has decided to take on the job of transforming the gardens and restoring them back to how they looked many years ago.   
She soon finds out it is too big a task for her to do herself, so she is determined to try and get celebrity gardener Will Talbot to help her. 
Will Talbot is currently riding high on the success of his business and is trying to make the most of it. He is doing appearances on red carpets to raise his profiled is going from strength to strength on social media.
This however is not making Will happy as he really misses getting his hands dirty, when the opportunity for work comes up at Bluebell Castle it is perfect timing for him to escape.
There are sparks flying between the two from their first encounter but things are not plain sailing for the pair. Will they get the gardens done ready for the big event, and will love bloom between Iggy and Will?
I loved this book from start to finish. It was great to re visit some of the characters and meet a few new ones too. It is the second instalment in the series however I do feel that it could also be read as a standalone read.
I loved reading the story from Iggy's point of view. She is the oldest of the triplets, but being a girl she will never inherit Bluebell Castle, this is something that does not bother Iggy at all.
The spark of romance between Iggy and Will was fantastic to read and watch grow.
I really enjoy the writing style of Sarah Bennett, it flows well and the stories are written so well to keep you engrossed from the first page to the last.
I'm already looking forward to reading the next instalment of the trilogy.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!!!  Beautiful...lovely...funny!!!

Squee for Sarah Bennett!!!

**OMG!  I cannot believe that these reviews haven't been done!  I am so sorry they are so late!!!**

This was a cute, romantic, fun read to just relax and get away from. Siiiiigh. If I closed my eyes and breathed in deep enough I could just pretend that I was there as well.

Did not realize this was a part of a series which usually bugs me but I got over it. Seriously, check this out. This is a light easy read for the summer or even the fall or winter when it's too cold and you just want to slip away to happier times!

Iggy, although the oldest child, is not able to claim the title since she is a girl. The triplets are Igraine (Iggy), Arthur and Tristian. Arthur's story was first, this is Iggy's story. She loves to work the land and decides to redo the old gardens and make them into a tourist attraction. She contacts Will, a TV celebrity  gardener to help her, and he originally laughs her off and then later shows up. Sparks fly, naturally, and overall a fun book to read. I like the characters overall, except for the creepy mother of the triplets. Still though, lots of fun characters and lots of dogs overunning the castle makes for a great book, and one I highly recommend. Actually like this one a bit more than the first one. Looking forward to the 3 book in the series.

Just like the first in this series this had charm and warmth all the way through. The setting was wonderful and the characters felt real and unique. The story was cute and heart warming. Highly recommend.

I had read and loved the first book in the Bluebell Castle series so was looking forward to reading this second instalment. I wasn't disappointed, this is a heartwarming romance story with plenty of difficulties along the way. I love the Derbyshire location of this series and the characters are well written and easy to identify with. 

I think this could be read as a standalone novel but would recommend starting with the first book in the series Spring Skies over Bluebell Castle. 

I am looking forward to the third book in the series. 

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

Sarah Bennett is a new to me author. I wanted to read this book, because, honestly, the title grabbed my attention. This is part 2 of 3 in the Bluebell Castle series. Each book focuses on one of the triplets, Arthur, Igraine aka Iggy, and Tristan. Everyone in this family is named after someone in King Arthur's court. Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle is Iggy's story. I loved Iggy. Burned in a previous romance, she is slow to trust and isn't quite sure if celebrity gardener Will Talbot is actually in love with her or her family's name & money. Will is there partly to escape publicity and to also help restore the castle's gardens. They want to open them up to the public to make money to help with the upkeep of the castle. Sometimes I really liked Will and sometimes I just wanted to shake some sense into him! I also really liked Iggy's family. I can't wait to read Tristan's story. Since he isn't the oldest brother, he doesn't have all the responsibilities. He seemed to be a lot of fun. The only character I didn't really care for was Helena, the triplets' mother. She abandoned them when they were young and now flits in & out of it when she wants something. I enjoyed the story very much and will continue to read this author's books. Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for the copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

What a treat to be back in the grounds of Bluebell Castle. Having simply adored book one I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next installment and boy did it not disappoint.

The writing picks you up and sweeps you away on an uplifting and feel good journey that had me turning the pages at lightening speed. It was a joy to be back amongst friends with characters of old that I have come to love and new acquaintances yet to discover.

As usual the narrative lived up to expectations on the entertainment front and I loved each and every moment from start to finish. But I must take this time to introduce you to the delectable Will Talbot, who is making his debut performance in this series and taking the story to another level in terms of swoon worthy stature. I lived for each moment he stepped into the spotlight....swear box included.

Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle is a ray of light that had me beaming with joy. It's a picture perfect summer read and a fabulous installment in an already stunning series. Bring on book three....I can't wait.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher.  I did not realise that this was book 2 but still enjoyed it anyway.  Loved the storyline, characters and the setting.

In the second book of the Bennett’s Bluebell Castle series about a set of triplets who are struggling to restore the family’s ancestral castle and open parts of it to the paying public, we get Igraine’s (Iggy’s) story. Her passion is landscaping, so she has taken on the overwhelming task of recreating the gardens using the original plans. With money and time in short supply, especially with opening day only four months away, Iggy is going to need help and she knows just the man for the job: award-winning celebrity gardener and bad boy, Will Talbot. However, when she calls to ask him if he’ll take the job, she catches him at an inopportune time and he rudely turns her down. So when he turns up a few days later (running from a sticky situation and intrigued by the photos she’s sent him), she rudely wants to kick him out the door. Will she be able to put her animosity aside long enough for him to work his magic on the gardens and perhaps on her as well?

There are so many wonderful aspects to recommend this story: the relationship between the triplets, Tristan’s optimism (can’t wait for his story in book 3), the slow-burning, sexy (but not steamy) relationship between Iggy and Will, their vision for the gardens and how they work together to bring it to life, the story behind Will’s decision to become a gardener which got him off a path of destruction, and even the intriguing visit by their bitchy absentee mother, Helena. On the flip side, there’s prickly Iggy’s mistrust of Will (twice judging him guilty without giving him a chance to explain) and the vicious attacks from Helena who proves, once again, that there isn’t a maternal bone in her body…or any goodness. No matter how Bennett makes readers feel about her characters, there’s no doubt that her writing elicits strong feelings. Definitely recommend this series to readers who like sweet romances with a bit of sexy. 

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from HQ Digital through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Thank you to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Reads for the invitation to the tour for the second book in the Bluebell Castle series and to the publisher HQ Digital for my copy of the book in return for a fair and honest review.

The book picks up at Bluebell Castle home of Arthur, Iggy and Tristan a set of triplets who are trying to keep the family home thriving after the death of their father. The first book focused on Arthur, the eldest of the three and this book is set around Igraine his sister and her work to transform the gardens of Bluebell castle which have fallen in an overgrown and unkempt state over the years.

They decide they need help to achieve this mammoth task and that comes in the form of Will a celebrity gardener who is trying to escape his own life and the opportunity to escape to a  Derbyshire hide-hole and get back to actual gardening seems too good to be true.

A wedding and a visit from the triplets estranged mother turns everything upside down and can the family save the castle once again ?

This is a great feel good read and I enjoyed getting to know Igraine but also picking up on the story felt very familiar and cosy and I particularly enjoy the scenes in the families sitting room this was just the type of read I needed.

There is drama, passion, jealousy and love a perfect combination for a summer read. I cannot wait until book 3 !
