Rating: 3.75 /5 stars
I love romance novels. And I usually don’t read this type of romance to often and by that I mean the cheesy cartoon covers almost romcom hallmark kind of romances but this convinced me that this may be the genre for me. I enjoyed all the characters and the Christmas vibes were there and I don’t even celebrate Christmas. It was genuinely well written and I definitely enjoyed it.

Thanks to Boldwood Books, I was provided an ARC of Snow is Falling by Sarah Bennett
via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

It follows Sadie, who, after divorcing her cheating husband, is treated to a Christmas getaway at Juniper Meadows by her adult children. Meanwhile, Dylan, who left Juniper Meadows years ago, returns with his teenage kids to reconnect with his past. The story beautifully explores themes of family reconnection, finding love in your fifties, and discovering what truly matters during the holiday season.

The Travers family, known for their warmth and resilience, welcomes Dylan back with open arms, adding to the book’s comforting atmosphere. Sadie and Dylan's relationship stands out for its honesty and maturity, making their bond feel authentic and refreshing. While the characters may seem a bit idealized, this only enhances the book's sweet and uplifting tone. The setting is so vividly portrayed that it feels like a real place readers might want to visit.

Overall, it is a feel-good read, perfect for those looking for a low-drama, heartwarming story filled with love, family, and holiday magic.

A beautiful, mature romance.

One that focuses on not just the couple, but the family involved too.

It was wonderful to see the interactions between the characters, both young and old.

Refreshing.

The backdrop of where they were staying and the festive element added a cosy, comforting feel to the story.

With satisfying ending, overall an enjoyable, easy read, one that is perfect to curl up under a blanket with.

A really enjoyable read!

Didn’t realise it was part of a series. But it was easy to follow so I didn’t feel overly confused by it. Definitely going to check out the others!

Thank you!

This is definitely a comfy chair and hot chocolate novel! Wonderfully warm and Christmassy, a lovely novel to start the season off. I didn't realise it was part of a series until I started it but it can definitely be read as a standalone. I now have to read the rest just because it's so good!

This is the fourth book in the juniper meadows series I would recommend reading them all in order for full enjoyment and reading pleasure.

This was another cosy instalment with a gorgeous setting and fabulous characters and also explored the themes of reconnecting with family and also finding love when you least expect it I really wish juniper meadows was real as could just imagine myself cosied up there and wished on more jan one occasion while reading that I was Sadie as sounded like a perfect location for rest and relaxation and to find yourself again.

In addition it had a cosy Christmas feel. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

I really enjoyed this lovely story. I read the prior book in the series which I believe helped with the many characters, but since there is a listing at the beginning of the book, I don’t think that would be a major problem to overcome for a new reader to this series. It is worth learning all the characters to enjoy this book!

I love the ‘returning to family’ theme of this story. Forgiveness is sometimes difficult, but it is a gift you give yourself more than the person you are forgiving. Of course, a romance, especially a mature relationship, is always an added bonus to a story!

I love the wonderful characters, some giving needed humor that kept the story light, where it could have been a difficult subject to handle.

This book definitely has put me in the Christmas spirit! It would be so nice to vacation to a family estate and celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas in unique ways as they did. In a way I did already attend, since I travel through books!

I want to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the pleasure of reading the advance reader copy, with no obligation to write a review. My review is written freely as a hobby, and is totally my own opinion, not influenced by receiving the ARC.

Sadie is treated to a Christmas break by her family at Juniper Meadows. Dylan comes back to Juniper Meadows after being away for a very long time to let his children see his side of the family whom they've never met. Lovely story about family and how problems are overcome

A enjoyable, light, easy read.

Thank you NetGalley & Boldwood Books for sending this book for review consideration.

Such a sweet, fun romance! Dylan returns home to Juniper Meadows with his teenage children after 30 years of living in the US. Sadie's grown children gift her a two week stay at Juniper Meadows after her divorce from her cheating husband. There's a connection between them from the first time they meet and it only grows from there. Plenty of joy and laughter as they go through the 12 days of Christmas festivities, with Sadie growing ever closer to Dylan and his children. A truly heart-warming story. I haven't read the other books in this series (although this one can be read as a standalone) but I'm certainly going to remedy that! Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Sarah Bennett for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Get your comfy blanket, and a cup of tea, and sit down to read this adorable story!! It was beautiful from the beginning to the end. I loved it!

This is the fourth book in the series I've read and it didn't disappoint. From the first page it was obvious that Sadie was building up to be the romantic interest for Dylan. I would have liked a little longer delving into the back story of how Dylan became estranged, this was briefly explained but I would’ve loved to find out more detail. I was hoping for a big family reunion at the end but it was still a really good read, telling the story of the final member of the family and I thoroughly enjoyed the series. I very much enjoyed Sarah Bennett's writing and will definitely look out for more books from her as I'm sorry to say goodbye to Juniper Meadows.

Sadie Bingham’s relaxing break at the beautiful Cotswolds estate, Juniper Meadows, turns into a heartwarming journey as she dives into the festive Twelve Days of Christmas events. Meanwhile, Dylan Travers returns to his childhood home with his teenage kids, seeking to reconnect with his estranged family. As Sadie and Dylan bond over their shared experiences and navigate a holiday season filled with unexpected turns, they discover that the true Christmas miracle might be finding love and a new future together.

really enjoyed this book. It had fixing past relationships and starting new ones, but it also had a feel good vibe. I loved all the characters in this book. I totally recommend this lovely story.

4.5 ⭐️
Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC copy.

I loved this book so much, it gave wholesome festive vibes but also dealt with healing family relationships and building new ones. I loved all the characters in this book. I will 100% be recommending this to friends and family over the festive season.

Sadie is treated to a two week luxury break at Juniper Meadows by her children, following the breakdown of her marriage.
Dylan is returning to Juniper Meadows, the family estate, with his children, after a long absence.
All our favourite Juniper Meadows characters are here for this Christmas book.
Another lovely story in the series.

I do enjoy reading Sarah Bennett books. This one was no different. A lovely story, well written and set in a nice location, with great characters. This is perfect for your Christmas reading material and definitely needs to be on your must buy list. Recommend

This book is part of the Juniper series, which I didn't realize before reading (oops)! At tines that was confusing but there was a helpful description of characters at the beginning for reference! If I could go back I would read the others first though.
I very much enjoyed the Christmas theme and feel woven in the story. The love story was sweet and enjoyable and I really liked the characters. Good read!

Sarah Bennett's Juniper Meadows series had been one of my favourite and this book is a fitting finale even though I've been left with loads of questions.

I loved reading the story of Sadie and Dylan, the brother who fled to America where he met, married and divorced the mother of his smart and fantastic kind kids Theo and Avery. I loved the relationship they have with Dylan although I do find him to be a bit strict and treating them like babies at time.

Sadie on the other hand. I related to her so well and I just wanted her to find the courage to chase her happy ever after instead of just finding problems. The theme of The Tweleve Days of Christmas was a gorgeous touch too.

However saying this I find the epilogue wasn't needed and was like why do we need that? Maybe it could have been better to show wither or not they managed to figure the whole long distance out not just her ex appearing out of the blue. For a final book its just leaving loads of unanswered questions. Sorry Sarah!

I'm looking forward to a new series setting in 2025.
