Spring Skies over Bluebell Castle
Sarah Bennett
Rating: 4 stars
She wasn't looking for love...
When Lucie Kennington flees the bright lights of London for the quiet Derbyshire countryside, she's shocked to discover that the heir to the Bluebell Castle estate is far from the wizened employer she expected.
In fact, Arthur Ludworth might just be the most handsome man Lucie's ever laid eyes on - and a terrible distraction! So when she stumbles across a legendary painting feared lost for centuries, she can't believe her luck - perhaps this is the hidden treasure to save Arthur and his family from ruin?
But it's only a matter of time before Lucie's past catches up with her and by then it's too late, she's falling for him...
Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley, Rachael Lucas and Hilary Boyd.

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 the forthcoming Bluebell Castle trilogies, published by HQ Digital UK.

This is the first novel in a new series for Sarah Bennett and I can honestly say that it was every bit as enjoyable as I thought it was going to be. The cover is so cute and pretty, I love the light blue sky, the purple flowers surrounding the cover and of course the big manor house that takes pride of place in the centre of the cover. I also love the font, it's just so cheerful and pretty and finishes off the cover nicely.
I really enjoyed the way the novel started, as I feel we got a real insight into the characters and Arthur's family as well. I enjoyed getting to know each character in turn and I liked that we got to know them separately, ie we read about Arthur and then we read about Lucie. It was nice to see both points of view. I also really loved the setting of the novel. It all sounded so magical and so grand! It definitely made me think about going up to that neck of the woods and exploring a little!
This was a heartwarming novel, and although I feel it took me a little while to get into it, once I got into the flow of the story I couldn't put it down! It was so enjoyable and for me I kept searching for times during my day where I could read more. The blossoming relationship between Arthur and Lucie was lovely to read and I really felt a connection between the two of them. The ending made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
This novel was lighthearted and easy to read. It'll leave you longing to learn more about the other characters and more of course about Bluebell Castle. Thank you to the publisher and Rachel from Rachel's Random Resources for a chance to read this novel, which I have reviewed honestly.
