Happy Publication Day and Blog Tour for IN FROM THE COLD By Sarah Bennett

I am delighted you are here today for the publication day blog tour of IN FROM THE COLD By Sarah Bennett.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Amelia Riley and Ben Lawson have something in common – fathers who have kept secrets.

On the day of his father’s funeral, Ben’s life changes forever when a woman he’s never met shows up claiming to be his sister. As he investigates the past, Ben is shaken to discover that much of his life has been built on a carefully constructed foundation of his father’s lies. Needing answers, he agrees to visit Juniper Meadows, the ancestral estate owned and run by his long-lost relatives, the Travers family.

Arriving in the pretty Cotswolds countryside, the first person Ben meets is Amelia Riley. They are immediately drawn to one another, but Amelia has her own complicated ties to the Travers family. Her only goal is to set the past to rights so she can move on with a clean conscience.

As Ben starts to see the events of his childhood more clearly, he allows the warmth and fun he finds at Juniper Meadows to draw him in from the cold. But just as he’s contemplating setting down roots, Amelia is making plans to leave…

304 pages, Kindle Edition

Publication September 21, 2023

MY THOUGHTS

After having a visit to Juniper Meadows in, Where we Belong, the first book in the series, I was excited to dive into In From the Cold the second book.

Taking place in the beautiful Cotswold’s it’s a joy to return again as we see how the characters are faring.
At times it takes a great sadness to bring people together, such as in this case in the form of a funeral.


We are treated to a charming and caring cast of characters. While this may be read as a standalone, I do suggest reading the books in order because there is a bit of a backstory.


As a secret becomes revealed there is a brilliant and supportive group behind them. A new family is waiting to welcome with open arms, a family he hadn’t even known about. Before you can move forward you must be at peace with the past. He is able to move forward with the support of his new family.

Heartwarming, this book is a warm welcome hug! I can’t wait to see what the author has out next!

Boldwood Blog Tour for Where We Belong by Sarah Bennett

About The Book

Where We Belong

On paper, Hope Travers has an idyllic life.

Living in a bustling farmhouse with her mum, aunt and uncles, cousin and too many dogs to count, surrounded by the breath-taking Cotswolds countryside, she knows she is privileged and protected.

But all families have secrets, and the Travers family are no exception. Their farmhouse sits in the grounds of the Juniper Meadows estate, passed down through the generations and now being made to pay its own way with a myriad of businesses and projects. When a construction crew uncover what appear to be historical ruins, the history of the Travers family is put under ever closer scrutiny as a dig gets underway.

Hope may have found a blossoming romance with local archaeologist Cameron Ferguson who is running the dig, but when things start to go wrong around the estate and family secrets begin to be revealed, Hope wonders if she’s made a big mistake in digging up the past.

My Thoughts

Where We Belong is the first book in the Juniper Meadows series. It is a contemporary romance. I am always excited to start a new series by an author who I’ve read their books in the past and have loved them. The characters are so relatable and realistic, after reading just this first book in the series I feel as though they could be friends. I found it interesting to see an archeological dig featured in the book, something not often seen. While preparing to break ground on the family home the dig team may have found ruins, so they bring in the archeologist and Cameron Ferguson, University lecturer. I found the story revolving around the testing digs to be wonderfully researched and fascinating. While we see a clear romantic connection between Cam and Hope, our leading couple, there are also side characters that I think will play an important role in the upcoming books. This book is just the foundation to work with there is plenty of material to work with, characters to elaborate on their stories and secrets to be divulged. I loved meeting the black labs they are right there sticking their noses in everything and so affectionate. The more the dig happens the more secrets are revealed in the archeological sense and in the family. I think more of a backstory will come to light as family secrets are unearthed. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series as I already feel a part of the community with its warm and welcoming characters and beautiful setting in the Cotswolds.

Love Blooms at Mermaids Point: A glorious, uplifting read from bestseller Sarah Bennett

290 pages Boldwood Books publisher March 16,22 publish date

Fall in love with Sarah Bennett’s bestselling Mermaids Point series!

Bestselling author Alex Nelson is slowly coming apart at the seams after a failed marriage and an abrupt change in career leave him at a crossroads in life. When an unexpected opportunity arises to escape to the idyllic village of Mermaids Point, he’s hot on the heels of his brother, Tom, who has recently moved there. Buying a rundown bookshop might be just his latest harebrained scheme, but Alex has never been one to do things by halves.

After spending her early years caring for her mother, Ivy Fisher is finally ready to start living her own life. But when the impossibly charming, impossibly good-looking Alex Nelson swoops in and snatches her dream out from under her nose, it really is the last straw. Forced by circumstances to spend more time with him, Ivy finally gets a peek of the real man beneath the confident exterior, and she likes what she sees.

But just when things are starting to come together for them, Ivy is reminded why men can never be trusted. Is Alex who he says he is, or is he using Mermaids Point as nothing more than research fodder for his next bestseller?

Enjoy a gloriously uplifting, page-turning, romantic escape to the seaside with the bestselling author Sarah Bennett. Perfect for all fans of Trisha Ashley, Holly Martin and Milly Johnson.

My Thoughts

I read the Mermaid’s Point series out of order, so I am now finishing it up. I am really going to miss this series, I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit, meeting the characters, having them carry over into other books, plus the location of the seaside is so relaxing. The author really makes this into a place you’re ready to come and visit.
The book is an emotional page turner. With Alex Nelson going through a job change he relocates to Mermaids Point at the suggestion of his older brother who also lives there. When he gets the great idea to buy an old rundown bookshop from the owner who is retiring, he has his blessings to redesign it to suit his fancy. Will it be just what Mermaids Point needs or a bust?
Ivy is a creative woman designing clothing and toys and the bookshop would be the perfect place to sell her designs. When that falls through, she feels the loss even more so because she has the goods strewn about her home and her mother’s bedroom whom she misses terribly after her loss.
I loved seeing how Alex and Ivy’s romance plays out. They are such a wonderful couple. Heartwarming and gentle this emotionally moving story is a real winner. I’m looking forward to starting the next series she’s putting out.

Hello and a very warm welcome to you!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my books. I write heart-warming stories set in small communities full of family, friendship and romance. My hope is that readers will fall in love with the places I create just as much as they do with the characters who live there.

I write in third person from a dual perspective to ensure readers can truly get under the skin of both the hero and the heroine. Every book can be enjoyed as a standalone story with a guaranteed happy ever after, but for the most satisfying reader experience I recommend following the arc of each series.

It is both a dream come true and a joy to be able to offer you a few hours of gentle escapism from the rigours of day-to-day life.

Settle into your favourite reading spot and let me whisk you away to beautiful settings you’ll wish you could visit for real.

Love, Sarah xx

My Thoughts

Happy Endings at Mermaid’s Point is the fifth and final book in the series. It’s the perfect book to pick up and get lost in on a lazy day while sipping from your tea or coffee cup.
We met Nick and Aurora way back in the first book, Summer Kisses at Mermaid’s Point but had to wait til now for them to get their own story, and oh what a delightful story it is.
Aurora is a singer and despite all things gets caught up in a media storm. As we all know more than half of the stuff you hear in the media isn’t true. Due to unforeseen circumstances she has to come home to Mermaid’s Point. Now Mermaid’s Points residents have the small-town, charming, will help you with anything feel. This is exactly what Aurora is counting on as she needs to enlist the help of Nick. He’ll pretend to be her boyfriend just until the media settles down. Well, we know how fake dating turns out so many times, it becomes the real thing, either right away or eventually.
The romance of Christmas is in the air and the residents of Mermaids are out and about celebrating.
So fun and festive this feel-good book will linger with you long after the last page has been read.
