Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle by Sarah Bennett
Today I am joining the blog tour for Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle by Sarah Bennett.
Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources, HQ Digital and the author, for a copy of the book, which I have reviewed honestly.
Here are all the lovely book bloggers who have taken part in this tour. I hope you can call by to see what they thought of this amazing new installment in the Bluebell Castle series.
Sunshine over Bluebell Castle
The summer she will never forget…
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?
Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Rachael Lucas and Hilary Boyd.
My Thoughts
This was the first time that I visited Camland Castle and I think the first time that I’ve read a book featuring triplets. With this in mind, I was intrigued to get started and see what we had in store.
Iggy is the oldest of the trio but it was brother Arthur who inherited the historic castle and title, plus all the financial headaches that came with it. Iggy sets herself the job of restoring the overgrown castle grounds. She soon realizes that it is a much harder job than she first thought, so she reaches out to Will Talbot, gardener to the rich and famous (with an attitude to match!).
When Will gets stuck into the castle gardens he realizes that this is just what he needs. Away from the glaring publicity and media he enjoys getting back to what he does best, and his personality starts to mellow. Iggy has always fancied Will from afar, but how will he rate in the flesh?. Working alongside Will is a dream come true, but will romance blossom?
I loved the romantic setting and Sarah Bennett has produced some really relatable, fascinating characters in this feel-good, inspirational series. I wish I had read the first book, just to give me an added insight into the characters, but this worked fine as a standalone novel.
You could almost feel the chemistry between Iggy and Will, I loved how they bought out the best of each other, and it was exciting to see these characters grow. I really enjoyed my time at the castle and will look forward to other books featuring the Ludworth family.
Author Bio –
Sarah Bennett has been reading for as long as she can remember. Raised in a family of bookworms, her love affair with books of all genres has culminated in the ultimate Happy Ever After – getting to write her own stories to share with others.
Born and raised in a military family, she is happily married to her own Officer (who is sometimes even A Gentleman). Home is wherever he lays his hat, and life has taught them both that the best family is the one you create from friends as well as relatives.
When not reading or writing, Sarah is a devotee of afternoon naps and sailing the high seas, but only on vessels large enough to accommodate a casino and a choice of restaurants.
Sarah is the author of the Butterfly Cove, Lavender Bay and Bluebell Castle trilogies, published by HQ Digital UK.
This sounds so charming and I love that cover! Lovely review!
