Synopsis
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.

My Thoughts
After being a huge fan of the Butterfly Cove and Lavender Bay Series’ I was thrilled to learn about a new series – Bluebell Castle. Even better was when I received the email from Rachel offering places on the book tour – I think I replied in about 30 seconds.
As expected, Sarah Bennett creates a beautiful setting for her new series in the form of a castle set in acres of woodland and countryside. It’s owned by Authur Ludworth (Baronet) and his siblings Tristan and Iggy. Unfortunately they also own the debts and bills left behind by their late father so bring in an art expert, Lucie Kennington, to catalogue and value any art that may help to pay the debts.
Lucie Kennington has a family with a past and is currently dealing with her own issue from her previous employers. She finds herself falling for Authur but will her past catch up with her?
Told from both persepctives (Lucie and Authur), this wonderful romance novel is perfect for for those wanting a light reading experience. It’s so hard to put this book down once you’ve started and the time just flies by. It’s perfect for sitting in the garden reading or snuggled up under a quilt (so you can pretend you’re in the old castle).
Authur is a swoon-worthy character and Lucie is such a gentle soul and you are just rooting for them from the beginning. In addition to the romantic storyline I also became really involved into Lucie’s search around the castle and couldn’t put the book down until I know how the ‘work issue’ was going to be resolved.
Sarah always writes books with such wonderful characters, settings and storylines and did not disappoint with her new series.
I just cannot wait until Bluebell Castle – Book 2.

This sounds like a lovely read and you’ve written a lovely review to match. I had seen the cover but hadn’t read the blurb yet. I have Butterfly Cover sat waiting on my kindle so will start there 🙂
