I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed reading it!

It was terrific to return to the delightful village of Tuppenny Bridge and catch up with some of the beautifully imagined characters from earlier books. Don’t worry if you haven’t read any of the previous books, as you are in safe hands with Sharon Booth, and her light recaps will soon bring you up to speed. In all honesty, I didn’t start at the first book and have a good handle on the series.
Daisy is a lovely addition to the community, and I enjoyed following the focus on her. Her little café quickly caught the attention of residents and visitors alike, doing a roaring trade and confirming her decision to move into the area. Daisy is contentedly single and has no drive to find a partner and no real time to spare. What she does find time for is bracing walks in the surrounding countryside, relying on the local bus service to take her on her adventures. Her flat is small, and I was a little envious of the simplicity of her life.
Noah is the local headmaster; we have met him in previous books. He is married, the half-brother of Ross, and the nephew of the much-respected Miss Lavender. I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know him better and learn a little more about his life in the village. What I didn’t anticipate was the darkness of his secret or how he would fight to protect himself and his family from the truth. Thankfully, he found some relief as his friendship blossomed with Daisy.
The storyline is filled with challenging drama, and although it was a tough read, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Fiction is powerful when it gently guides us through life’s difficulties and leads us to a sense of comfort and safety. Hope did indeed bloom as light began to appear at the end of a very dark tunnel.
If you have any doubts about reading this book and, indeed, the entire series, please go ahead. The themes are often challenging, but the execution is first-class and handled excellently by this amazing author. This is the final instalment in a truly lovely series. I’m already looking forward to what comes next.

This was an emotional, sad but in the end it worked out for the best. Lots of secrets, embarrassment and finally when all is said and done, the truth comes out. I couldn’t put it down. I was sad, emotional and loved every bit of this story. Sometimes people don’t know what is going on behind closed doors. Friends who finally find true love and right the wrong. Worth the read. I received this book for my honest review. I give it voluntarily

Thank you for allowing me to review the 5th book in the series about Tuppenny Bridge. Each book focuses on a different resident of the village, This book is about Daisy, a fairly new arrival who knows little about the past. All the villagers do appear in the book, but it is not essential to have read the others previously. As the title suggests a romance is on the cards for Daisy, however, the story also covers issues of abuse, mental health and loss. I enjoyed reading this book, but others may find it a difficult read. It has been nice to learn more of the backgrounds to some of the key characters within the village.

Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge is a good read. Please be aware this book has some subjects that maybe hard for some readers including affairs, spousal abuse, and accidental car accident leading to loss of life this is not detailed only mentioned. Please read warnings! Your mental health matters. This book also has some religious details but isn't overly mentioned if that is a problem for you then this may not be the book for you.

This is a really good read overall. I enjoyed the storyline and some of the characters, others not so much.

This book is also a good reminder abuse can happen to anyone. If you or someone you know is being abused please seek help.

A quick, but not necessarily easy read set in the Yorkshire dales. I have read others in the series, which concentrate on a couple of townspeople . This time it is Daisy, who runs the cafe on the marketplace, but other villagers, some we have met before, are involved in the book too which adds to the continuity of the serie. The book is also ok as a stand-alone though it does give more insight into the plot if you have read others. Far from being just a romantic novel, this book also explores abuse within relationships, so if that is a trigger for you, perhaps this is not for you. I suppose this subject is dealt with reasonably well, though not with a great deal of depth (but that is not what the book is aiming for) and some matters mentioned in other books are also explored. I did enjoy the book and would not hestitate to read more from this author.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC

Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge although a romance full of interesting and/or funny characters deals with a strong theme which is psychological and/or physical abuse. Domestic violence, regretfully, is much more common than we would expect and it affects men and women pertaining to all social levels and economic tier and in all countries on this earth. This book raises the matter and gives lots of food for thought on how to deal with it and how to give support to those that are living in these circumstances.
I thank the author, her publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC.

So three stars is stretching it for this book in my opinion due to missing trigger warnings. The title and summary are misleading and the author admits at the end of the book that she doesn't include trigger warnings because she doesn't want to deter people from reading her books. There is domestic abuse in this book and it is graphic. I found it very overwhelming even though I imagine it could be realistic. I only gave it three stars because I did care about the characters and there was an HEA even if it was too short.

A quiet romance which deals with the darker side of some marriages. Daisy finds love with Noah who is in a turbulent marriage with Isobel. Daisy has to fight for her happiness and tries to keep those she loves safe.

The delightful village of Tuppenny Bridge where everyone knows, and cares about, each other is the setting for this thoroughly enjoyable story. The book is mainly about Daisy a newcomer to the village and Noah. The couple embark on a platonic friendship but will it evolve into something more? That is the big question. However, Noah is married and he has a secret that goes back many years. The story is quite dark in places as it covers domestic abuse that could be triggering for some readers so caution is needed for those who may be affected. I found the book very gripping and picked it up at every opportunity. It can be read as a standalone but to have read previous books in the series would be an added bonus as characters from those books reappear here. I loved it. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

2⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advanced copy of Hope Blooms In Tuppenny Bridge.

Daisy is a newcomer to Tuppenny Bridge and she begins to interact with Noah another member of the town. He is always polite and very kind during there interactions. But word around town is that his marriage is in trouble and that he is abusing his wife. Daisy does not believe it and the more time she spends with Noah the more they both fall for one another. She also finds out the truth that there is abuse happening in his marriage but it is his wife who is abusing him. Can she save Noah and build a life with him?

This book was way darker than I thought it would be and I absolutely hated the character of Noah’s wife. It was truly hard to read and enjoy this book for me because of her.

Daisy has finally found her home in the small town of Tuppenny Bridge. She runs the Crafty Cook Café, which she loves, but she still struggles with her past. As summer comes to the Yorkshire Dales, Daisy takes long walks in the meadows, slowly learning to let go of her worries. When she meets Noah Lavender, the kind local headmaster, they form a special connection that helps her heal. But Noah has his own secret, making things complicated. Just when Daisy starts to move on, she runs into someone from her past, forcing her to face old memories. As autumn approaches, she must decide if she’s ready to embrace her new life or let her fears hold her back. This charming tale explores love, healing, and the courage to change.

Daisy is a newcomer to Tuppenny Bridge and owns a cafe, leaving behind an unhappy past. A regular visitor to the cafe is Noah, the headmaster of a local school. They form a bit of a friendship, finding a mutual enjoyment of walking in the local area. It is complicated, however, as Noah is married, although not all is well there.
I am lucky enough to read a wide variety of books, some I enjoy more than others. The Tuppenny Bridge series is one that I'm always happy to return to and this, the last in the series, is one I definitely enjoyed. I love returning to this area with its inhabitants and find out more about the character's lives and the mystery of a young man's death years before. There are some very dark moments in this book involving domestic violence, but there is no light without darkness. I would definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series first so that you know the history and fully appreciate the story. I am looking forward to finding out what this author invites us to read next.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

Thank you for the chance to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion.

I have only read the Tuppenny Bridge series by this author so had not come across Daisy's back story from a previous series. It is possible to read this as a standalone book but one certainly would get more enjoyment from the whole series.

This centres round Daisy, a recent incomer to Tuppenny Bridge and her cafe and relationships with the villagers.
She meets, by chance Neil the local headmaster and they go for a walk to see wildflowers - the reason they were both in the same place at the same time.
Neil has secrets of his own - which have been hinted at in previous books but explored in more depth in this book. His wife, Isobel, shows her true colours. To say more would be a great spoiler - as was reading the author's note first.

This was well written with empathy, and obviously well researched.

It brought together the threads initiated in the first book and brings the series to a conclusion - its a shame that some of the characters had only talked to the Vicar and not each other.

An enjoyable read - I finished it in a day!

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

OMG! What a book to end the series on.

I’ve enjoyed reading the books in this series, but this one is just brilliant.

This book tied up all the threads from previous books and answered every question. What happened at the time when a man died years ago is fully explained, and everything comes together, about those that were associated to the person, in this, the last book, bringing out the answers to the secrets kept hidden.

But, the story also covers the subject of relationship abuse. This book had so much happening that you were turning the pages to read what happens next. couldn’t put it down,

I highly recommend this book.

A lovely wee book full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations. This tale of romance is very sweet but the path of true love is never smooth and this is the case here. A perfect read for a winter’s evening.

This is an enchanting romance but with some darker elements "no one knows what goes off behind closed doors" could have been written for this book.
Tupenny Bridge is a quaint town nestling in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, it is a town where Daisy Jackson has found peace and contentment after a heartbreaking few years. Daisy had fallen in love with her brother's best friend but her love was unrequited, Daisy had escaped to Tupenny Bridge and started her own business "The Crafty Cook Cafe", her cakes soon became the talk of the town, Daisy made friends, the town accepted her as one of their own.
Daisy had missed the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales when she had been in the city, she didn't have much spare time but when she did she liked nothing more than hiking in the hills.
It was on one such hike that she bumped into Noah Lavender, Noah was the gentle, kind local headmaster and as they were both out for a hike they decided to do it together.
Daisy and Noah chatted easily, they had lots in common and over the next few weeks they ventured on many such trips. It soon became clear that friendship was not all they felt for one another but there was a problem, a big problem, Noah was married to Isabelle, a woman no one really liked but a woman that Noah couldn't leave.
This story follows the journey of Daisy and Noah, the secrets that they both kept, in fact everyone in the town seemed to have secrets, would they all be revealed ? would this ever be resolved ? whose heart would be broken ?
A really enjoyable story with a lot of emotive, dark issued treated with sensitivity.
Thank you Storm Publishing and Net Gallery for this ARC, my review is voluntary.

Not the usual light romance that I was expecting. This book delves into domestic abuse - female on male abuse - and the book took a darker turn. I couldn't put it down, wanting to know if it ended well.

Didn't love this at first and almost gave up but something made me persist and I'm glad I did. This wasn't the fluffy romance I was expecting as it touches on some serious DV issues. Towards the end I couldn't put it down.

Riveting end to a great village life based series!🏘🌄

I loved Daisy and Noah's slow burn story, how they connected coming from similar difficult childhoods and loving the active country life. The tragic wrinkle of Noah's marriage was a great element and the nature of his shameful secret too seldom addressed in works of fiction. I was impressed with the author's handling of the whole issue of domestic abuse, like the realism of friends feeling that they had to believe and offer their support to a woman who indicates fear or injury from her partner. And the actuality that either partner, no matter the gender, can be an abuser and the abused ashamed and afraid to admit what's going on.

I've really taken to this Tuppenny Bridge collection of characters and most of them have at least cameo roles here. Some, like the ever-wagering Pennyfeather sisters, added a lighthearted humor to the romances and human dramas that played out. Though this story was a superb way to draw things to a close, I will miss the series.

Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.
