Thanks netgalley and publishers for an advanced copy of this book. I absolutely loved this story describing life and adventures living on a canal boat. Likeable characters, a delightful story well worth reading.

Another beautiful read from hannah Lynn. The story really transports you to the setting and makes you really fall in love with characters. And no great story is complete without the perfect pooch

Daisy's life on the September Rose and the coffee shop is going well until her boyfriend Theo takes a job that means he has to move away for a few months. She decides to take her boat on a trip to meet and surprise him, aided by her neighbour Yvonne who had made a similar trip many years before.
I loved the previous books in the series and this follows in a similar vein, but with a lot more adventure. I'm not certain that I'd have the courage to take on a long boat trip as Daisy is doing, my time on boats, or more accurately ships, involve rather larger ones complete with restaurants and bars, although I have pottered around on the Norfolk Broads. Things don't always go well, although they do manage to make progress, they also manage to pick up an extra passenger along the way. I'd probable give it 4.5*, but as normal have rounded this up to 5* because it deserves it.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

Daisy May is back at Wildflower Lock. The story is a good summer read with travel and meeting new people along the way. Also throw in a dog and you have a read that is interesting. The relationships along the way are fantastic.
I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher and leaving a review by my own choice.

Hannah Lynn is an author who never fails to disappoint. A lovely book with a fantastic setting, which made me feel as though I was looking through a window and part of the story.

With such cute and stunning covers, I'm always drawn to this author's books. The characters are so relatable, you feel like they could be friends and you'd love to share in their happiness. The setting is so charming. I mean who wouldn't want to frequent a coffee shop on a boat? Daisy's home is a houseboat, and her coffee shop is there too. How lovely is that? Daisy is in a new relationship and really wants this to work out. Trouble is, it's a long-distance relationship. With Daisy putting in long hours in her coffee shop serving customers and baking goodies and her new man working his job them seeing each other frequently just isn't happening. This is when Daisy gets the brilliant idea to travel on her boat, September Rose to visit him. She has her trusty guide, an elderly woman who's navigated these waters many times and who was a friend of her mom to guide her. Full of love, laughter, romance, fun chats, this is my favorite book this Summer. The adventures these ladies went on with this houseboat traveling coffee shop were marvelous. The people they met, and the charming dog added so much fun to the story. Through this trip Daisy discovers so much about herself and her family she hadn't know. A true gem that I highly recommend you zip right to the top of your summer reading list.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn

There may be trouble ahead…

Just when Daisy thought she had canal life understood, Theo, her primary go-to for all of her boating questions has left Wildflower Lock, not to mention the budding romance that has been steadily growing.

Not one to sit and wallow, Daisy takes matters into her own hands. Who said long-distance relationships can’t work?

With the help of trusted friend Yvonne, Daisy takes the September Rose on a round trip to surprise her new boyfriend. The best thing about a home on the water? You can go anywhere!

But perhaps leaving the serenity of Wildflower Lock wasn’t the best idea. Daisy hates keeping secrets from Theo, and she’s not the only one…

My Opinion

This is going to make for a lovely holiday read. Whilst Daisy's journey is anything but straight forward, this book was nice and relaxing. In a change of scene, the majority of this book takes place away from Wildflower Lock but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. For me, the ending felt a little bit rushed but I will be eagerly waiting for my next visit to the September Rose - I hope we get to see more of Johnny.

Rating 4/5

Loved this one! Great and fun read. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for my ARC.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I enjoyed reading this book.

Daisy and Theo’s relationship is going great, but as Theo is working further away, the time they get to spend together is dependant on his job and the time he gets off, but with him making the journey to see Daisy, it’s not much.

Whilst listening to her neighbour Yvonne talk of the times she’s travelled on her boat. Daisy decides to take her boat all the way to see Theo.

Yvonne is going with her and along the way, Daisy has someone else joining them on the journey, a dog she found.

The journey isn’t all smooth sailing, and they find out more about each other.

But, Theo is unaware of what Daisy is doing, he thinks that maybe she doesn’t feel the same way for him.

Will Daisy make her journey to Theo, or does something happen before she reaches him?

I highly recommend this book.

The continuing story of Daisy and her barge based cafe. Set two months on from the second book in the series, Daisy is in a relationship with Theo. We start the book with Theo working away for five months. They are missing each other, with Theo travelling back for the odd night, whenever he can make it. As the cafe business is taking off, their time together is minimal. After speaking to Yvonne, an elderly reaident of Wildflower Lock. Together they hatch a plan to travel through the canal network to surprise Theo. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Although the book is titled Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock, very little of the action is set there. I enjoyed the story, the escapades of Daisy, Yvonne and their unexpected companion on the voyage. For me it fell down at the end. It felt like it needed a few more chapters as it felt quite an abrupt end to the tale. That said, I look forward to continuing the story in future episodes.

I received an E-ARC with a request for my honest review.

This beautiful and uplifting romance follows Daisy who after setting up a coffee shop on her canal boat, is trying to keep her long-distance relationship with Theo alive.

Spontaneously, when talking to her canal friend Yvonne she decides to take the adventurous trip to see her boyfriend, as a surprise.

Soon, with Yvonne’s help they start their journey but with keeping secrets from Theo and mishaps along the way she must keep her nerve to keep on track with her adventure.

Will Daisy complete her journey? What mishaps will happen along the way?

This is the second book I have read in this series, although I think I came in at book 2. There is no need to have read the other books, as there is enough explanation to be able to read as a standalone; however, it has been lovely to see how the relationship between Daisy and Theo has developed.

There are plenty embarrassing mishaps that Daisy faces throughout, although they add an element to comedy to the storyline even if you know Daisy wouldn’t be laughing. There are many dangerous moments too, where I was holding my breath hoping they would be ok.

I loved having Yvonne along for the journey too, as she added even more humour, even with her heart-breaking story.

Overall, a beautiful and uplifting romance, where Daisy sets off on an adventurous trip to see Theo.

This is a charming and uplifting novel that invites readers into the picturesque world of Wildflower Lodge. With her evocative prose, Lynn paints a vivid picture of the lodge and its stunning natural surroundings, making it a perfect escape for those seeking a heartwarming read.

This instalment allows us to find out more about Daisy and Theo and the other characters but we also get to hear a bit more about Yvonne’s story and I absolutely loved the way her friendship with Daisy became cemented during the course of this story and how the bond between these two women grew as well as Daisy’s relationship with her mum changing. The descriptions of the settings and the sights and sounds make the reader think they are actually on the narrow boat doing the journey themselves and as usual with these books they transport me back to happy memories of barge holidays from my youth. I would love to go back and do another one, one day . The characters are well-developed and relatable, each bringing their unique quirks and warmth to the story. The romantic subplot is sweet and satisfying, adding an extra layer of charm to the story.

Great to be back on Wildflower Lock although it’s not long until Daisy and Yvonne secretly leave to visit Theo. This journey involves sea and river crossings, Johnny the dog and much mayhem and mishaps. Lots of humour but also some darker themes. Although part of a series I think this could be read as a standalone book. Lovely read which I recommend.

This was another lovely book about life on a canal boat, Hannah makes it sound so peaceful, the characters we have met before so it was nice just to slip into their next adventure and what an adventure Daisy and Yvonne have, it didn't feel like the book was quite finished so I am wondering if there will be a fourth book

A gentle read as part of a series but it can be read as a standalone. Set on a canal boat Daisy is carrying one with her life and with the aid of accomplice Yvonne sets off on a perilous journey with her canal boat. Cosy and pleasant with a little nod to treachery. The character to steal your heart may well be Johnny , the dog.
The story did come to an abrupt end or is that to leave room for the next book

The next installment following Daisy and the September Rose and they are leaving Wildflower Lock for an adventure! I enjoyed it but felt the ending was quite rushed and it left me with questions!

This is another book in the Wildflower lock series that had me smiling, laughing and crying throughout. Daisy’s life on the boat sounds amazing, and after all the hard times she’s had she deserves all the happiness in the world. I loved the storyline involving the dog. I wasn’t keen on Shaun, just because of what happened (which I won’t post because spoilers!) but the adventures that happen and learning more about canals is fascinating. I particularly love Daisy’s mum and although in previous books I didn’t like her actions, I do think she’s redeeming herself. I would highly recommend this series of books for anybody who likes a bit of fun, laughter, romance and some tears thrown in.

What another great read in this book series. Daisy is really quite mad when she decides to take her boat on a journey to visit Theo. Daisy will have to navigate from the canal into rivers and the sea,travelling through London. She is accompanied by Yvonne one of her boating neighbours who has been sailing boats for many years.
There are lots of laughs in this book and sometimes I feared for Daisy's life. So many things go wrong,especially having to pretend to Theo that she's still back at Wildflower Lock.
I'm really enjoying this series and look forward to the next one.

The newest instalment to the Wildflower Lock series is another cozy romance in a picturesque setting. I enjoy reading about Daisy's life on her narrowboat and this time she went on an adventure! I would have liked to see the completion of her journey but maybe that's coming in Wildflower #4. I'll definitely be reading to find out.

3.5 stars.

I did enjoy this novel, a complete change to the other novels in this series however I do feel it dragged a little bit and then the ending isn’t what I expected, we didn’t get to see them arrive to meet Theo at all which was disappointing.

Having said that there was a lot happening throughout the book which kept it interesting. Maybe there will be another in this series and we get to finish the journey?
Hopefully!
