The Best is Yet to Come is a wonderfully warm and comforting novel. Feels like a hug in a book! Not too sweet, it deals with challenges but takes you where you want to go. The choice of setting and the alpacas doesn't hurt either!

I always love Jessica Redland books. They are so feel good and are always a lovely read. This one was one of those and it was so enjoyable.

Oh wow Jessica you did it again I was hooked from page 1.
I love the alpacas and how you have described their individual traits and temperaments and how they act when they are happy and in their happy place. I bet doing the research for that was fun?.
When Emma and Killian went and got the herd I was sitting next to them in the car willing them to go faster.
I really hope there's more in this series I think it's my favourite series after the hedgehogs.
I wish I could give you more than 5 stars as I would give you a million.

The best is Yet to Come is the latest installment by Jessica Redland. If you are looking for a great read, pick this one up.

This charming story is the third instalment in a series, but it can easily be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It follows Emma as she embarks on a new chapter in her life, leaving behind a successful teaching career to help her fiancé Grayson run a farm. But when things don’t go as planned, Emma finds herself heartbroken and starting over once again. At Willowdale Hall, she’s welcomed with open arms, but her dream of setting up an alpaca-walking business comes with its own set of challenges, including a grumpy groundskeeper and unexpected family issues. Despite the obstacles, Emma’s journey is a heartwarming tale of resilience, new beginnings, and the power of following your dreams.

The Best is Yet to Come is part of a series by Jessic Redlands but can easily be read as a stand alone. It’s a gentle romance, readable in just a couple of hours.

My main gripe is a common one for this genre of book where the first love interest is as hideously awful as they come yet the main character has no idea that things aren’t working. It’s just a bit over the top to be very believable. Thankfully once he’s out of the picture things improve.

Emma and Killian make a nice, easy to root for pairing even if the description in the blurb makes him sound like a grump which he only is one time before being a cinnamon roll. The setting in the Lake District is a good one.

A little bland for me to rave about but enjoyable and I would read more from the series.

Just when Emma thought she was starting to live her dream, her life comes crashing down around her. Stunned, Emma has to pick herself up and start over again.
Desperate to get her new business, walking rescued alpacas, off the ground Emma will need all the help she can get.
Meeting the team at Willowdale Hall seems like fate, as Oliver and Rosie offer Emma a place to set up her business. But not everyone at Willowdale appears happy about Emma’s plans.
Taciturn groundskeeper Killian makes Emma feel she is preventing him doing something more important. If Emma is going to make her new dream come true she will need all the help she can get from Killian and her newly extended family.
A lovely story, full of family, friendship, warmth and love set in the wonderful Lake District.

We are back at the lakes for the third in the series, these can totally be read as a stand alone but you'd be missing out a treat you if don't read the others.

This is Emma's story, starting over again after leaving her teaching job.

I love how Emma never gave up on her dreams, making new friends, gorgeous Alpacas.

It was also great to catch up on willowdale hall and the happenings there which really ties this story together.

This is such a beautiful story and a fabulous series.

I absolutely love Jessica Redland and this book did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this story about starting over but you will need tissues I cried more than once.

Emma is starting over…again. She has packed up her cottage and given up her teaching career to work with her fiancé Grayson on his farm. During theses chapters I struggled to read on , not because of the writing but I felt so bad for Emma. More than once I shouted at Grayson.

However Emma finds herself starting over yet again as things don’t work out on the farm, at this point I couldn’t put the book down and laughed and cried until the end. I love the strong family connections and the friendships.

Filled with family, love, second chances and forgiveness. Such a brilliant book filled with hope and the unexpected! I Can’t wait to read the next instalment.

A lovely story about love, family, community and following your heart. Emma begins a new career working with her fiancé on a farm and dreams of running an alpaca walking business around the farm. When things don't work out for her and Grayson, she is heartbroken and lost. She gets a second chance at a new start but needs to trust her heart and follow her dreams. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

This is the third book in the lakes series and I highly recommend starting at the beginning.

I absolutely love this author and read this in practically one sitting. Their descriptive writing makes you feel like you are there and absorbed in the scenery and surroundings in real life. The Lake District is one of the places that evokes lots of happy memories for me and reading this transports me right back there. As a Beatrix potter fan I also enjoy the links and connections to her in these books. I almost felt like I was there stroking the alpacas at one point rather than sat in my garden reading.

This instalment focuses on Emma and how when you put your mind to it you can achieve anything and that nothing is impossible with hope and a dream and hard work.

A lot of this story I found
Very relatable and really resonated with me. I was pleased that Emma had a good support network around her and how she showed strength courage and determination to start again.

Once I had started reading this instalment I cook snd put it down a heartwarming read of friendships relationships and second chances.

I hope there are more books to come in this series

Emma is leaving her secure job as a teacher to support her fiancée in his dream of farming a Beatrix Potter farm, she imagines having a great time with all the animals and having more time with Grayson it’s going to be ideal. But reality is so much different from her dream and she ends up broken hearted homeless and jobless.
She also loses her dream of an alpaca walking business but when she finds out she has a brother who has an estate he invites her to start her business there. She teams up with the estate groundskeeper Killian and soon she has more leaps of faith to take.
Great read and good to catch up with the previous characters.
Looking forward to more adventures at Willowdale Hall.

I absolutely love Jessica's books. Revisiting The Lake District with Jessica's character is like a breath of fresh air...(if you know, you know 😜) But really this is exactly how it feels. The descriptions of the scenery is so amazing I can close my eyes and feel as though I'm standing there in the field or barn or playing with Emma's niece, absolutely amazing.

There are a few shocking moments in this story about half way through but what happens after those moments is just perfect.

Emma I find really relatable, she is such a beautiful soul and deserves better but like me, she wouldn't be who she is with the passion and kindness if she hadn't gone through what she has.

Oh my gosh I adored Killian, I think he maybe a new Book boyfriend to add to my long list haha.

This book is such a beautiful reminder of taking the bull by the horns. Emma is a fabulous character and has such a tough time but doesn't let the past get in her way.

What can I say other than I loved this one??
I was so excited when I saw this one, hoping it picked up where it left off. Which it did, with a fantastic prologue which just reminds you exactly where we were when we left Willowdale Hall.
The story then moves on to different characters, but don’t worry, you will soon see how everyone ties in together.
You will fall in love with Emma and Killian and everyone else in this book (well nearly everyone, maybe not Grayson!)
It’s certainly one that you really want to keep reading, but don’t want to finish.
Yes, you could argue it’s a little predictable in places, but it’s a lovely feel good read. Full of new chances, new friends, new family as well as a fantastic bunch of alpacas!!
Be prepared to loose some sleep or clear your schedule so you can whizz through this lovely read.

I love Jessica Redland books, and I loved the previous two books in this series (The Start of Something Wonderful and A Breath of Fresh Air), so I was excited to get started on The Best Is Yet To Come. I was not disappointed!

This book follows Emma, as she starts on a new adventure after being a teacher for many years. I really liked Emma, she is kind and resilient.

I loved reading this book, and devoured it over two days (sadly I had to stop to sleep). I loved the alpacas, they were adorable. I loved all their different personalities too.

I loved being back at Willowdale Hall and I can’t wait to see more of how that develops over the coming books in the series. It’s such a brilliant setting, with the old house, the lake, and the surrounding countryside.

It was lovely to see some of the characters from the previous books, and find out how they’re getting on. I loved the continuing storyline with Oliver finding out who his father is.

Overall, this was another wonderful story in a great series. I highly recommend it.

I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Jessica Redland can do no wrong. Everyone of her books transports you to that location. I feel like I'm doing a site seeing tour of the UK with her books.

Her stories are always perfection. Family ,friends and love. A sense of community in the books. This book is no different.

The romantic relationship is in the second half of the book but before then you see different types of relationships. Best friends, family and a support network. Emma grows to know herself and follow her dreams.

I love books like this. No silly misunderstandings etc. Couples who communicate etc.

This was such a cute read. It was easy to follow and had a great cast of characters. I couldn't put it down and kept reading until the end. I look forward to reading more by the author. I highly recommend it.
🩵 Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and author for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Jessica Redland does it again! This was a wonderful story full of Alpaca's. This is book three in a series and I love the direction the author is taking these books in - I'm here for all 15, please let that be true. I love the setting and I love how we keep checking in with previous characters. Each main character goes on a fantastic transformational journey, and of course finds love along the way. I found the romance super sweet and the restoration of family relationships. Have I mentioned that there are alpacas? I loved the magnificent seven and have already googled to see if there are any alpaca close to me to see.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

We return to Willowdale Hall, this time to hear Emma's story.
When Emma's relationship comes to a dramatic end, she decides to continue her new dream to start an alpaca walking business.
As ever with Redland's books, problems are solved in an instant, new friends and family pop up and dreams come true.
A nice bit of escapism
