A Forever Home at
Honey Bee Croft
New friends, new life, new love…
Single dad, Joel
Grainger, is devoted to his little girl, Imogen, doing all he can to be a key
part of her life. But with Imogen’s mum being ever more difficult and Joel’s
job suddenly in doubt, he’s worried that everything is about to change. Joel
has given everything to Imogen, and he doesn’t regret it, but maybe he’s lost
himself along the way…
Since her dad’s
heart-breaking dementia diagnosis, Poppy Wells has been struggling and
desperately needs a break. An opportunity to stay in gorgeous Whisperwood
Farmhouse nestled in the Yorkshire Wolds and a stone’s throw away from
Bumblebee Farm couldn’t be more perfect. Finally able to breathe, Poppy begins
to see a new life ahead, a place where she can heal her broken heart and be
part of something special. But can she ever leave her beloved dad to get the
happiness she craves?
When Poppy and Joel meet
there’s an instant connection. But with both of them at a crossroads, a future
together seems impossible. Can they find the strength to overcome their
challenges to secure their forever home together?

The third book in a wonderful series by Jessica Redland,
this is a poignant, heartwarming story about following your heart, saying
goodbye and embracing new beginnings. I adored Joel and Poppy’s story, both are
wonderful characters which is a common trait
of Jessica’s - creating characters we feel connected to and want the best for!
We’ve previously met Joel in previous stories but now he is
front and centre, deservedly so, I’ve been looking forward to know more about
him. He’s so used to being seen as second best, a great guy but not THE guy.
His daughter is his world and his ex seems to do all she can to limit their
time together.
Poppy, what a character – I felt so emotional for her,
having had so much to deal with losing her Mum but then having to be strong as
her Dads health declined. Life hasn’t gone the way she thought it would and at
best, she’s struggling to move forward in any way. It soon becomes clear she
needs a break, and ends up discovering the perfect place, the perfect person
and the perfect time away to see what she needs to do next.
I love when characters have chemistry that sparks from the
page, Joel and Poppy do instantly. Not only was romance inevitable but it
seemed each person found their best friend; a person who was completely on
their side and willing to do whatever it took to make the other happy. A fast
moving relationship but a clearly strong connection.
As always, there are ups and downs, misunderstandings and
other people throwing spanners in the works; both have so much going on in
their lives do they have the time for each other.
Jessica handles sensitive topics so sensitively, yet again highlighting
issues and topics amongst the romantic, cosy element we all love. I highly
recommend this one (and every one by the author!)
Always sad when a series comes to an end, but a gorgeous
book to end on. I always look forward to the next book from Jessica.
