It took me a while to immerse myself in "Finding Home in Harfell" by Suzanne Snow, and unfortunately, my overall experience fell short of my expectations. The character of Pippa came across as particularly frustrating; I found her actions and motivations difficult to relate to. Additionally, the premise behind why she and her daughter Harriet ended up at the cottage felt rather unrealistic and lacking in depth. This disconnect made it challenging for me to form a meaningful connection with the characters and their journey. While this book didn’t resonate with me personally, I can see how it might still be a delightful read for many others who may appreciate its charm and narrative style.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

This is the first in a new series set in Hartfell. Light, easy read and I enjoyed this story of Pippa who has been sent to the area by her dad to do his dirty work (or so it would appear). Look forward to reading more.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. Snow created a beautiful world in Hartfell and wrote vividly throughout. While I enjoyed the story, I felt there wasn't much depth to the characters, and I wasn't that invested for much of it. However, the final third picked up the pace considerably and I was keen to see how it would end.

Thank you Canelo and Netgalley for my ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

It took me a while to warm to Pippa as she came across as too controlling but as we get to know her we realise why. I also felt she was too hard on her daughter. I liked Gil from the start, the hot vet living in the house Pippa is selling, and I felt for him from the beginning. Moreso when you find out his history.

Pippa and Gil's spats and banter was entertaining although I felt a bit over the top at times.

Pippa certainly doesn't do things by half and when the vet practice and village fair are under threat due to her actions it makes her stop an think and I did like the changes in her as the book progressed.

Lots of great characters and a moving storyline make this a lovely read.

If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers with sizzling chemistry then I would recommend this to you.

I love Suzanne’s books. The Hartfell series has been a joy. This one follows Pippa and Harriet as they arrive from London with a view to selling her Rock Star Johnny’s farm. They did not know that there was a sitting tennant. The sale would mean that Gil, the local vet, would lose the only home he had ever known and his small practice. This story follows the repercussions for each of them and the local community. I highly recommend this fabulous read.

Thank you to netgalley, publishers and Suzanne Snow for an advanced copy of this book for my review. I absolutely loved this book and can't recommend it highly enough. Pipppa is tasked by her rock star father, who is currently abroad, to go to Hartfell in the Yorkshire Dales to 'sort out' a property he recently bought. Pippa reluctantly packs up the car & her teenage daughter and heads off towards the countryside grumbling that it's fallen on her shoulders again to be the one to charge of things. They have no idea what to expect when they arrive at the property, and encounter one surprise after another. This is a story that keeps on giving and is absolutely captivating. Wonderful characters, cute animals and idyllic sounding scenery. Beautifully written, heartwarming, witty and enchanting.

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

I loved reading this book, the first in a new series.

We meet Pippa.and her daughter Harriet who arrive at a farmhouse that their know nothing about. Her dad has asked her to go and put it up for sale.

They meet Gil who is living there and he’s not happy seeing them as it means he’ll have to find alternative living accommodation, so things don’t go as Pippa had planned.

But, as she gets to know more about the place, she begins to realise that it has a kind of magic to it and feels like she has links to it.

The residents are welcoming, although not at first and she begins to make friends.

This was a beautiful start to the series and I can’t wait to find out what comes next for Pippa, her daughter, Gill and the residents.

I loved the setting, the descriptions of the surroundings made you wish you was there with the characters.

I highly recommend this book.

The right book at the right moment: needes some heartwarming and uplifting store and this one helped to escape reality and relax

This is romance fiction at its best! The cleverly woven storyline keeps you engaged, with everything coming together beautifully at the end. Filled with humor and a wonderful cast of animals, the book offers a lighthearted and charming insight into rural life in a Yorkshire village. A delightful and uplifting read that will leave you smiling!

Pippa and her daughter Harriet arrive in Hartfell to sell an inherited farmhouse but soon find themselves drawn to the charming village. Pippa clashes with Gil, the local vet who lives in the farmhouse, while Harriet bonds with a local boy and helps at the animal sanctuary. Village tensions rise due to Pippa’s rockstar father’s past, but a special performance by her famous brother may help mend relationships. As Pippa uncovers family secrets and warms to Gil, she must decide where her future lies. A heartwarming tale of love, second chances, and community, with humor and vivid rural charm.

I love it when great authors have series I can fall into. And when they start another one...brilliant! And so I was highly looking forward to Suzanne's Hartfell book.
Pippa.and her teenage daughter arrive at a far.hpuse they new nothing about. And it's not where they want to be. But slowly Pippa starts to fall for the magic of the place. And the community's set of characters helps. Though not all are happy with her being here. Especially local vet who is the living tenant of the farm. And if she sells he has to go too.
But all sides soon start to thaw. Though local vet Gil.proves trickier for Harriet to be sure of.
Great start to a new series snd can't wait to find out more about these Yorkshire dales stories if she does more.

Loved it, would be great to continue into a part 2 with more of the farm house maybe renovations? and the art gallery

A fairly undemanding and pleasant read set around the rural community of Hartfell in the Yorkshire Dales.

The attractive cover romantically depicts a bucolic rural scene. When Pippa Douglas arrives at Home Farm with instructions to sell the property for her father, she finds dilapidated and outdated buildings requiring more than TLC and a coat of white paint. Another surprise is the sitting tenant, Gil.

A slow start depicting Pippa as an uptight, controlling snob, overly protective of her teenage daughter, Harriet. Pippa doesn't come over very well, to her, animals and the country, are smelly and dirty. She requires everything hygienically clean and orderly and, where her daughter is concerned, imagines danger everywhere.

The book improved during the second half becoming a bit 'James Herriot', the romance developed into mostly side glances between Pippa and Gil. The last part of the book was much better, it seems that you can get used to mud, farmyard smells and even wayward animals with a hot vet around.

3.5 A story about second chances, best of all was the scenery.

With thanks to Canelo and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book, this review is my personal, unbiased opinion.

Yet another good read from Suzanne Snow. The lead character arrives in a run down farm to sort out some unknown business for her father. Enter a range of additional character which cause her a headache. The story goes on with everything sorting itself out and a focus on family and romance. Well worth reading.

Pippa's rock star father asks her to go to the village of Harfell to get a house ready to sell. She and her daughter arrive to find the house has a local vet living there.

Very slow to get to the actual romance-y bit of the story, but it was a nice story itself with history and plenty of characters that had interesting relationships and characteristics.

It was frustrating to see Pippa get annoyed at almost everything sometimes, especially when it came to Harriet. I understand that she is a mother but the whole safeguarding is a bit insane.

Overall, this was a book with a decent flowing story. It was easy to follow and the characters were memorable. However, the enemies to lover was very out of nowhere in my opinion. Of course, it was obvious it was coming but the sudden change from hating each other and yelling at one another to "we are in love!!!" was not great.

I fell in love with Suzanne last book but this one, well, it just doesn't have the same magic as the previous one. Pippa is bitter towards her dad, her aging rock star and needs to grow a pair. A twisty typical teenager whose life is all about Wi-Fi been forced to sort out a rental. property.

Sorry but this is a miss for me.

This was such a sweet and moving story! I absolutely loved it! Ms. Snow has definitely found a new fan! A hilarious, heartwarming and soul grounding must read!!

Pippa is the glue that holds her family together sinner mother died she’s been there for them all including her aging rocker father Jonny Jones. When her dad asks her to sort out a house he owns in Hartfell she packs herself and her daughter off without question as she always does.
Surprisingly she finds the village holds more about her family history than she ever knew also the house comes with a sitting Tennant Gil the local vet.
Brilliantly written as expected from Suzanne Snow and hoping for further visits to the Hartfell village .
Fantastic read.

I was so pleased to read this book for. Review on NetGalley. I have read all Suzanne’s books and loved them. Took me a few chapters to get into this one but when I did,I didn’t want to put it down. Loved the setting in the country and on a farm. So many great characters too. Pippa and her daughter Harriet are up from London at the instruction of her father who owns the farm. Gil runs the vets practice which is on the farm and was his family home when his gran was alive. Pippa’s dad is a rock star who is travelling the world on a tour,she has siblings who are scattered around the world too. Her being the oldest,they all turn to her and expect her to be available for them. Pippa and Gil don’t get off to a good start but you can see there are sparks there. Gil has tenancy rights to stay in the house but he moves in to an old dilapidated caravan which he puts in the yard. Harriet,who is 14 doesn’t want to be at the farm but she loves animals and gets a job helping at Gil’s aunt Dorothy’s animal shelter as well as a pony on the farm which she looks after. Pippa and Harriet ingratiate themself’s into village life. Harriet meets Alfie and they spend lots of time together. There are comings and goings between Pippa And Gil but you must read it to find out how things all pan out but I can’t wait for the next instalment.
