I enjoyed the second instalment of the Ludworths in Bluebell Castle reading Iggy’s story. I did read these out of sequence unknowingly but it didn’t really matter with the storyline. I felt this book finished a little abruptly like the first one, but it didn’t spoil the storyline. Thank you for accepting my request for this book, and I look forward to the new next series from Sarah Bennett.

A nice and warm quick and easy read.
I did not know that this was the second book in the series, but it did not matter. However sometimes it was too much talking and not much happening for me.

I loved being whisked away to Bluebell Castle in the first book in this series. It felt like coming home returning to this stunning setting and series. It was great to explore more of the castle and grounds and their journey to improve the castle grounds.

This story centres on Iggy and celebrity gardener, Will. I loved seeing their friendship develop, despite how hesitant Iggy is initially to trust him. The connection between them is immediate and enjoyable to see develop throughout.

Despite being predictable, Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle was a thoroughly enjoyable read. With its heartwarming story and wonderful cast of characters, this is one not to miss.

Love this book so much I have brought the others in the series.
I needed to know how they all got on I've read it more than once
Love it so Good.
Sarah Bennett is a brilliant writer

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

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

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.

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.

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 !
