This was a lovely read, full of delightful characters a great location. Set in Jupiter Meadows, Rhys is looking for a new recruit to run the camping ground. He wants to make the house work and wants to find new ways to do it. Along comes Tasha who has great ideas, but she comes with a secret. What will happen when Rhys finds out. Tasha loves her job making the camping ground a success, but wonders when her lies will be found out.

Enjoyable fun read. The setting sounds ideal and was easy to imagine. Loved all the main characters. Would recommend this book.

i love a Sarah Bennett book, the characters really leap from her pages and embed themselves in your brain. i found myself thinking about this book long after i had finished it.

Sarah Bennett knows how to write stories with the best characters that you just love from the moment you read about them. I loved this. 100% recommend.

This third instalment of the Juniper Meadows series centres on Rhys, the heir to the estate. He might be in line to inherit but he certainly does not have any airs and graces and has always found the prospect quite a responsibility. Tasha is a woman with a secret and it is interesting to see the effect that Juniper Meadows has on her. She responds to the calmer, quieter way of life and the kindness of the people she meets there.

I think that this third story might be my favourite in the series so far, I enjoyed the mix of the characters and seeing Tasha both in her home and work setting gives you a closer look at her character. She hasn't always been treated well in the past and her attitude towards work changes as the story develops. As always, family, friendship, love and community are at the heart of the story. I can't wait for the next one!

In short: brilliant characters and a lovely settin

I enjoyed this read, it's not my absolute favourite but it did have a few page turning moments and some giggles. A nice rainy day read.

It might be the twenty first century, but an estate like Juniper Meadows could sometimes have the problems of a nineteenth century estate. Rhys Travers knows that one day Juniper Meadows will be his, and whilst it is certainly a family affair, the weight of it does lay heavy on his shoulders.

Whilst Rhys takes a hands on role where he can he does know he might need to perhaps share some of that workload out. Enter Tash who seems to bring a lot to the table and might be just what Juniper Meadows needs. However, is she there for the right reasons or has she got the job under false pretense’s.

Tash and Rhys immediately hit it off, and far from being the city life Tash is used to, she embraces the outdoors and countryside life. The Travers family embrace Tash to and can see the value she brings to the the estate as well as Rhys. Could Rhys have found the answer he has been avoiding all this time?

However it could be that Tash is not so innocent, or is she actually a pawn in a much bigger game? Events take a turn and it seem everything is up for grabs.

It is always lovely to go back to a place you have become familiar with and the characters based there. Of course those we have met from previous novels feature and ones that will no doubt get to know in the future. What also makes this a great series, is the setting and the place. The concept of Juniper Meadows, its farm, distillery, camping, Spa simply shine off the page and it is if you are visiting an exclusive place and just taking a peek at what is going on before, closing the doors and the pages of the book to get on with your own lives.

I cannot wait to go back and see what happens on my next visit. My bags are packed and ready to go…..

This is the third in the series, and although enough explanations are provided, things would not feel the same without prior interactions with the large family at Juniper Meadows.
We left one son of the household, the man who will carry the title of the land with him in the future, alone and unattached. This is his story.
We begin with the female protagonist, a go-getter who is not understood by her family and whose ex-fiance still gets a seat at the family table! Her job is made even more complicated when her boss sends her on an odd assignment. She smells a rat even before she gets there, but we know even more about the situation because of the previous books.
The romance makes sense, as does the inclusion of the new character and what she brings to this assorted family. Some older family secrets are mentioned towards the end of this book, making me think that the next book might be about the oft-mentioned member who is yet to make an appearance, but the reason for his absence is dropped in to make us curious.
I like this series because it is very busy. There are things happening in the background, but the family keeps themselves occupied with almost mundane tasks that form part of a bigger, smoother operation. This combination is very relaxing to read and a joy to revisit since (unlike the people in the book) we know that their trials will have a happy ending.
I would highly recommend this series to fans of the genre and to anyone looking for multiple happily-ever-afters that make practical sense and are fun to read.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

Tasha meets Rhys when she takes a job working for him at Juniper Meadows. But all is not as it seems. I liked how it is told from both points of view.

"Come Rain or Shine" is a cozy and charming English romance that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Sarah, the author, delivers a delightful story with a nice, soft pace that focuses on Tasha breathing new life into the camping site at Juniper Meadows. While the story can be read as a standalone, it's enhanced by the connected side stories from previous books in the series. Tasha's passion for her new job and her refusal to compromise her morals make her a compelling main character. The contrasting family dynamics between Tasha's and Rhys' families add depth to the story, while Rhys himself is the perfect male lead: gorgeous, kind, protective, and with a sweet vulnerability. The romance between Rhys and Tasha is a beautiful blend of slow burn and workplace tropes, with their chemistry being both delicious and delightful. Their strong personalities complement each other, making their interactions engaging and their growth as a couple satisfying to witness.

A really good read. Not having read the first two books in this series I wasn't sure what to expect but I still enjoyed it and hope to catch up with the first two later. A great setting and a good mix of characters and relationships that held my interest from the beginning.

I found this quite an enjoyable read but there seemed to be so many characters! I have read another in this series so vaguely know who was who but as a standalone read I felt there was a bit too much going on and too many referrals to previous storylines, But it was a good escapism read with an engaging story and pleasant characters.

A cute, heartwarming and compelling story that made me smile and root for the fleshed out characters. Escapism at high level.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I am a big fan of the characters in this series. I enjoyed the Christmas book; this one is similar and very good. It took a bit to get rolling and I was not too sure about Tasha at first, but through Rhys, I grew to like her. It was great to see Ziggy and Zap again as well as the rest of the Juniper Meadows crew. This author has such a great writing style, I can't wait to see what they write next.

Thanks and to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

This is Rhys and Tasha’s story.

Tasha is tasked with an extended project which takes her to Juniper Meadows. The pace of life and work is much slower than Tasha is used to and is set in the beautiful countryside. Tasha is loving the job but isn’t now sure if she can continue to work for the Travers family after finding the future on Juniper Meadows is hanging in the balance if she does what she is sent to do. Especially when she finds herself falling for the future Lord of the manor Rhys.

When the Travers family find out what Tasha was sent to do can they forgive her and welcome her into the family?

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was part of a series, but can still be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

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 and it certainly does not leave any time for romance. Tasha Blake’s career leaves no time for romance either so when her job takes her to Juniper Meadows for an extended project, she is soon realising that the countryside has more than work to offer.
A warm cozy romance set in beautiful countryside, perfect for a relaxing read. The characters were enjoyable and relatable. At first I did not really like Tasha but as the story went on she grew on me. Overall a satisfying read.
