i really enjoyed this story, it was a fun easy read that you could lose yourself in.
can’t wait for the next instalment

Great to have a new series from Georgina Troy and this one starts off well. Lettie is a lovely character, showing great strength and courage to give up her London life to run a farm in rural Jersey and when you throw in a bit of romance along with the beautiful backdrop of Jersey you are definitely on to a winner. Perfect beach read full of fun and warmth

A great summer romance based on a farm. Thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and plot.

Definitely one to pick up for your summer holiday.

Who doesn't love book based on a farm. I haven't read any of Georgina Troy's books before but am looking forward to adding more to my collection. I loved Lettie's courage to leave London and start a new life thing over her parents farm.

A great summer romance! A delightful read that left me anxiously awaiting the next part of the series. Perfect for anyone looking for a simple romance.

It is always great to read the first book in a series and this one was a very nice example of a book in the chick lit genre.

Lettie and Zac get the shock of their lives when their parents tell them they are going to sell the farm. Lettie manages to persuade their father to let her try and take over for a 3 month trial period and the first month is a hard slog, being taught how to do everything on the farm. Then Lettie is on her own. This is a tough ask, since Lettie has not been on the farm in years and she is not exactly the fittest person on the planet, but she gets stuck in and does a decent job.

Of course, not everything goes smoothly and Brodie, the new vet, is always on hand to help out. He doesn't remember kissing Lettie when they were teenagers, however, and that makes things very awkward for Lettie indeed! And then there is another man who is also handsome and willing to help Lettie when needed.......

A very sweet story although Maddie, Brodie's sister, was VERY annoying indeed! Brodie was far too easy going when it came to her, I thought. The author did a great job with that character :)

Nice, romantic tale. Probably could have done with a bit more detail about Lettie's day to day life whilst on the farm, but that is a minor thing.

Looking forward to the second book in the series!

4 stars from me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5 for Welcome to Hollyhock Farms. I loved Lettie, a determined young woman who decides to give up her career in London to try to run her family farm when her parents announce that they are going to sell the farm so they can travel.

The book, set on the isle of Jersey, totally makes me want to visit there. This book was a great summer escape!

Thanks to the author, Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the ebook in exchange for my honest opinion.

Another lovely book by Georgina and I really hope that it is a series as I would really love to loose myself in these characters and works again soon.

If you love Jessica Redland's Hedgehog Hollow series, Della Galton's Puddleduck Farm or Sarah Hope's Wagging Dogs Tail Home series, then you do not want to miss out on this story!

Just like Georginas other books, this one is set on Jersey again and although there is some talk of the beach, it is mainly set on the farm that Lettie is temporarily taking care of for her parents and at the vet practice. now run by Brodie. Both Lettie and Brodie are very likeable and have hearts of gold. There does not seem to be a mean bone in either of their bodies and they seem like a perfect match.

Although there was some drama with regards to the farm, there was not as much drama as I have become used to, so this was a gentler, feel good story and I look forward to returning to Hollyhock Farm.

Warming book that takes you into their world. Love the set up of the story and how the characters interlace together. The description of the farms and scenery takes you to the island. Thoroughly recommend this, especially if you love farm and animal life.

Aww Georgina has done it again love this author and love the books available, great storyline and characters can’t wait to read more

What a great start to a new series! It's a beautifully written story with wonderful characters and a beautiful setting. I look forward to the next book in this series. This book was the perfect read for me.
I received a complimentary copy from Boldwood Books via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

A lovely feel good factor book by Georgina Troy. I have read quite a few of her books and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one, and I have to say that this book didn’t disappoint me. The story follows Lettie who has returned from London to her parent’s farm Hollyhock Farm in Jersey. Her parents announce unexpectedly that they are putting the farm for sale as they need to slow down, and that they’re going on a 3 month cruise. Lettie offers to look after the farm whilst they’re away in the hope that she can prove to her parents that she’s more than capable of working hard to achieve her independence. Whilst looking after the farm an old flame of Lettie’s (he doesn’t remember her) appears back in the frame Brodie the local vet. This really is a lovely book which I would have expected from Georgina Troy.

It always takes a little time to get into a new book series and this one was no exception, but the setting was lovely. The characters were well written and the story felt interesting enough to keep me going. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

Welkome to Hollyhock Farm ist ein netter, süßer Roman für Zwischendurch. Leider bleibt er an manchen Stellen etwas oberflächlich. Gerne hätte ich mehr von dem neuen Leben auf dem Land mit den neuen Herauaforderrungen erfahren. Der Feuerwehrmann bleibt insgesamt zu flach, um wirklich ein gutes Ablenkungsmanöver vom eigentlichen love interest zu sein.
Ist ok für Zwischendurch, aber wirklich nichts besonderes.

It finished too soon.

I enjoyed the build up and the book but felt the ending was abrupt. Left me hanging for more information about the farm and what happens to it. How the relationship is going.

Another wonderful Author whose writing is funny, captivating and engaging. I really enjoyed immersing myself into this beautiful romance novel,

When Lettie's and Zac's parents call them home to Jersey, they both head home, not sure what to expect. Lettie had a bad breakup a few months prior and has heard that the company she works for will be having some redundancies coming up. She doesn't if she will have a job much longer, so when she gets home, she starts to feel better. When her parents tell their children that they are planning to sell the farmland to their uncle on the neighboring farm, they are both in shock. Their father had a mild heart attack and has been told to take it easy, thus the sale of the land. Lettie speaks up and says that she would like to run the farm for her parents and convinces her father and uncle to give her a chance. Her father works with her for 1 month, then while traveling for 2 months gives Lettie that time to make it and decide if it is really what she wants to do. After heading to London to quit her job and gather her things, she settles in. Being back to the island, she garners the interest of the local vet, who has also just returned to the island, and a hunky firefighter. Can Lettie run the farm, and try to have a social life or maybe even a romance?

Having been married to a man who was raised on a farm, I know how much work it can be. I was very impressed with Lettie and her desire to take over the family farm. She was not a physically strong woman when she started, but she didn't give up, even though she was completely exhausted at the end of every day. I wanted her to succeed and show her parents what she could do. Both Brodie and Joe were great guys. They stepped up to help Lettie when she needed it without expecting anything in return. I really wanted Brodie to come out ahead in the sort of love triangle, as he and Lettie had a moment when they were kids, even if he didn't realize the Lettie and Violet were the same person. The secondary characters played important roles in the story, but didn't take much page time. I have to mention the dogs. Spunky the farm dog and Thistle, the dog Lettie rescued from the side of the road were absolutely wonderful. They really helped Brodie and Lettie to settle in to their new lives. I really enjoyed Georgina Troy's character development. The struggles were realistic, the frustrations well depicted and the lives of young adults returning home to a small community seemed right on the mark. With a few issues that had to be worked out between various characters, some setbacks on the farm for Lettie and some decisions by others that could have derailed Lettie's new life, the author brings this book to a wonderful conclusion. I really enjoyed my time on Jersey and at Hollyhock Farm.

This is my first read from Georgina Troy and I really enjoyed the setting of Jersey and Hollyhock Farm. It has likeable characters and I can't wait to see how this series develops.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this one

As a fan of Georgina Troy's previous books, I was looking forward to this one. Again, set on the beautiful island of Jersey but this time on a Farm.

Lettie returns home after a setback in her career, but unfortunately receives double whammy news from her parents. Lettie can't bear to see the farm being sold, so she persuades her dad to let her take it on for a trial period.

She certainly works hard, and I think I went through a range of emotions with her as we see her battle to keep going. She is helped by 2 rather lovely men, the local vet Brodie and firefighter Joe, who are both keen on her. This adds a lovely small town, slow burn romance to the story.

It is a dual POV story that I enjoy, full of quirky and interesting characters, not to mention animals especially Spud and Thistle. A very enjoyable read.

Thank you Boldwood Books and Rachel's Random Resources for my gifted ARC and spot on the tour. I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.
