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.

Favorite Quotes:

 

At the end of the first week, she’d plonked a large glass jar on his desk together with a sliding scale of fines depending on the severity of the swear word he used… Anna was free to spend the contents of the swear jar on whatever took her fancy… Anna had so far enjoyed a hot air balloon experience, dinner at one of London’s top Michelin-starred restaurants and a helicopter flight over the city.

 

Bloody hell, she was spikier than a hedgehog.

 

It took a bit of shuffling around as no one wanted to stand to close to Helena— not that it was physically possible to stand too close when she’d chosen to wear a hat roughly the size of a satellite dish. She’d needed half a pew to herself to accommodate the enormous brim…

 

My Review:

 

Book two in this series was quite busy with creatively contrived and lushly described landscaping projects, wedding planning, the drama and pestilence of an unwanted and unexpected visitor, and two new budding romances. Although still an enjoyable and engaging read, book two in the series contained considerably more conflict, angst, and tension amongst the characters than book one; most of it primarily due to the prickly character traits of the main character of Igraine. I was compelled to Google the correct pronunciation of the obscure name of Igraine as I was annoying myself with numerous failed attempts to puzzle it out.   I wanted to give both Igraine and her broth Arthur a kick in the backside in hopes of dislodging their craniums, as their gray matter had obviously been misplaced. I am curious to see what the deft wordsmith Sarah Bennett comes up with next for Tristan, the last, and my personal favorite of the triplet siblings.

 

Oh, happy, day! I scored three unusual additions to my Brit Word List with cloth ears – someone who fails to listen or is hard of hearing; piccalilli – a pickled vegetable relish; and upped sticks – packed up and moved away.

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.
