What a joyous story. Full of interesting characters, beautiful descriptions of Jersey and a decent plot line. I couldn't put it down. Ready to read the next one.

What a lovely story.
Couldn't put this book down. It takes you to lovely areas with good strong characters.
Looking forward to more stories in this series.

Love Blooms at Hollyhock Farm is the latest instalment in the brilliant series from Georgina Troy and I’ve loved being back on the farm with some old favourite characters and some new.
Georgina writes such beautiful characters and as before Hollyhock Farm is such a welcoming place plus the descriptions of the area and the island of Jersey sound amazing. It’s an easy one to get lost in for sure and I was totally absorbed in seeing Skye and Joe together on the farm.
Seeing Skye and Joe build a friendship was lovely and the fact they both needed that time away proved the farm and animals were just what they both needed.

Set on the beautiful island of Jersey this is a story of unexpected love, countryside life and a feel good book. I loved the unique setting of the farm which was fun to read about especially since I grew up on a farm. I didn’t realise that this book is part of a series, maybe would have enjoyed it more had I read her other books. A simple, easy read with romance and set on a beautiful island ~ what more could you want in a book.
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book, all opinions expressed are my own.

Such a sweet little tale about the happenings at Hollyhock Farm. I could very much see this being made into a Hallmark/Lifetime movie. So precious, easy read! Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Love Blooms at Hollyhock farm is the third book in the Hollyhock Farm series which is set on the beautiful Jersey. Although I hadn't read the first two in the series I still enjoyed this one as it can be read as a standalone. I do feel that I would have benefitted from reading the first two books however, as I'd have liked to have known more about Lettie and Brodie and some of the other characters mentioned. I have downloaded book one though so I'm looking forward to reading it soon.
Skye and Joe don't have a typical meet cute moment so when they're thrown together at Lettie's farm neither of them are happy about it. Since both of them have good reasons to stay on the farm they must work together harmoniously and neither of them want to let down Lettie in her time of need.
A lack of communication between Lettie and Brodie means that the two of them arrive at the farm to take care of the animals, and they're both concerned that they will no longer be needed. This is especially a problem for Skye as she's not just visiting the island for a holiday and she'd be forced to go home otherwise.
The Romance between Joe and Skye was just one part of this story as Skye uncovers life changing secrets. Joe is a great support throughout all of this and I feel it definitely helped to bring them closer and form a strong bond. They may not have known each other for very long but the bond between them is undeniable.
The setting of this story is beautiful and actually made me want to visit Jersey myself. I looked up a few of the places mentioned and could see that they were beautifully described; hopefully I can take a little holiday there in the not too distant future. This was a lovely relaxing read with a few surprises and a lot of lush scenery. I'm looking forward to reading more from Georgina Troy.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.
It was lovely to be back at Hollyhock Farm.
Lettie is pregnant and needs to rest, but not at the farm. She as well as Brodie ask friends for help, but then they both ask two different people, and both turn up to the farm at the same time.
They are Joe and Skye, who don’t know the other person that well, but are prepared to work together to help their friends.
There’s also Joe story about his family and Sky’s story of her family interweaved in the book. .
I loved the descriptions of the different places that Joe and Sky’s visit which makes you feel as though you’re there with the characters.
I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed being back on Hollyhock Farm, Lettie is pregnant and has to stop working on the farm, but she asks her friend Skye to come. Joe has asked his friend Brodie too so when they both turn up, will it work out? It’s a lovely happy, feel good read that you will read in one sitting. I loved the characters and they were enjoyable to read about. The setting was superb and the plot was engaging. Loved it. A fabulous 5 star read. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

In this the third book in the series Lettie is forced to take things easy due to complications in her pregnancy, so she moves in with Brodie in his small cottage. He arranges with a friend, Joe, to move in to look after the farm, meanwhile Lettie has also arranged for a friend of a friend, Skye, to also look after the farm as well. Unfortunately the two had already met and they hadn't made the best impression of each other. Joe is a local fireman missing his grandfather, who had passed away, Skye is trying to track down her father, of whom she only knows that he had met her mother on the island, who hadn't given her any more information before she sadly died apart from a notebook.
Again you needn't have read the previous two books in the series, but you would miss some of the back stories. In addition to the will they / won't they romance there is also the search for Skye's father with very minimal information. There is also the wonderful setting in Jersey, supporting friends and the farm as the background to the story. Well worth reading if you enjoy such romance, as I do.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

In the third installment of the Hollyhock Farm series, Love Blooms at Hollyhock Farm, Georgina Troy returns readers to the picturesque island of Jersey for another heartwarming tale of love and self-discovery. This time, the story centers on firefighter Joe and newcomer Skye, who find themselves co-managing the charming Hollyhock Farm. Joe seeks refuge from his crowded home life, while Skye arrives with personal quests of her own. Their initial clashes gradually give way to mutual understanding and affection, set against the farm’s idyllic backdrop. The evolving relationship between Joe and Skye is portrayed with authenticity, capturing the nuances of two individuals navigating unforeseen circumstances. While the plot follows a familiar romantic trajectory, the engaging characters and serene setting provide a comforting and enjoyable reading experience. This is a delightful addition to the series, offering a gentle exploration of new beginnings and the unexpected paths to finding one’s place and partner.

This book was cute, I enjoyed Lettie and Brodie both asking for help on the farm to both Skye and Joe respectively.
It was a cute read and I enjoyed it. 3.5 stars, there was some predictable moments but overall I liked the tropes involved.

after a year on Hollyhock farm Lettie needs a break, but there is no one to help. Then Joe and skye appear and want to help but can they get along with each other? sweet story.

Is so good to be back at Hollyhock farm again!
With Lettie pregnant and needing to take a break from active farm life, she and Brodie seek help from friends, but when they both ask different people at the same time, two people arrive to help!
Joe and Skye aren’t too sure of each other as they put their options of each other aside for support their friends.
What follows is a story of friendship, of kindness, of helping each other out, of being there for one another.
There’s lots of different stories within this one, Joe and his family, Skye and hers, keeping in touch with Lettie and of course the farm.
The author describes everything so well, so will see the farm, the landscape, the island all in your minds eye. You will visit the sights along side the characters and feel you have visited these places yourself.
Yes, you could say it’s a little predictable, boy meets girl… etc etc, but there are so many other things going on within the story that it stays fresh and appeals to you throughout. What I really liked was all the characters, they are all really likeable and grow on you throughout. I felt the ending was really good, especially when Joe’s mum sees them at the end of the book.
All in all another lovely read from this author, and such a stunning cover too. 4.5 stars

georgina troy has a new book and i get to read it. i cannot tell you the joy this brings me. she is beyond talented. she is beyond a queen of her genre and once again i feel so lucky that authors exist, that they find their craft and that they are so wonderfully talented. i have no idea how they can create worlds that we as readers simply adore. and Georgina does it like no other. she has her own unique place in the book world. and i feel like she will always steal my heart with her books. i want to read on and often i cant read fast enough for want to take it all in right this minute! her book series always reach my fave lists. and each are just as good as the last. for me she never wavers and how utterly spellbinding these books are around my soul. yes yes i might sound like im going overboard. but i cannot tell you how important books have been in my life. so i am truly appreciative and in wander at just how brilliant these authors are and just how thankful i am for the world of books.
i was so glad to e back to the farm. the last book was just as good as the first. i was so excited to see if we could get back to the brother and sister team and see how their lives had moved on with the partners. the last book had the brother and the wellness retreat. the first covered more of Letties story and finding her feet at the farm.
this time Lettie needs help. she is pregnant. enter Joe. who im glad has come back to find his own love story. though we dont know that of course since the woman in question happens to be someone who he hasnt had the best start with . skye has also come to help. but what shes actually seeking is her father. but the night these two first meet is when JOe the firefighter doesn't like the fact SKye didnt do as she was told in a fire situation at the hotel!
but of course the story goes on when these two find they are going to have to work as a team, for Lettie if nothing else. and what comes next is of course the beautiful workings of Georginas talent at writing such wonderful stories.
you all must read these books. then go back and catch up on her others books and series. you will not regret stepping into this world. and you will heal or feel captured for each of her books you read.
please let there be more from this family and the farm. perhaps in the next book the little girl will need a Nanny. or we can have a wedding at the farm or just more of Zac and Melodys journey. i dont mind. as long as we get to come back and hopefully visit all these characters once again.

Love blooms in the most unexpected places…
When Lettie is due to give birth very soon she realises she needs to employ a helper to take over the day to day feeding/manual labour for her farm, but she is reluctant to do anything until Joe offers to help out and take the job during his holiday from work, at the same time Skye also arrives to do the same (neither are too happy to see each other after an incident the night before) but they make thing work.
Skye has a reason for coming to Jersey, but will she find everything she is looking for? Meanwhile, Skye and Joe work side by side sorting out the farm and in their spare time Joe gives her the guided tour of the island showing Skye all the best sights and places to eat, introducing her to his friends and family/colleagues.
What happens next, only time will tell …..

With such series of different sets of the characters, I'm always looking forward to see which couple would be the feature of the new books.
Joe the firefighter! Book 2 had him fighting for the affection of the visitor to Hollyhock farm, and finally he got to stay in the farm in this instalment. With the farm's idyllic surroundings, who wouldn't fall in love!?
The continuation of Lettie's story as a side plot made the book all the better. Perhaps the next book would see baby Isla as a toddler! The ending of this book was slightly abrupt though, I would have enjoyed an epilogue of the couple on their travels.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

I requested this book just after I started the first and sadly realised that these books were not for me
I wish I got along with the writing style, but since I did not appreciate the settings, I could not finish it.
I think fans of the author will better enjoy this book.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. What a nice feel good happy read this was. Great storyline and characters. I liked it.

The BRAND NEW instalment in Georgina Troy's beautifully uplifting Hollyhock Farm series…
Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book ahead of time in exchange for a review. It didn't disappoint! Must read!!

A delightful romance of love blooming on a farm that two strangers offer to manage when the owner has to be on bed rest. Joe lives on the island where the farm is located. Skye traveled to the island to search for the father she never knew. Joe helps her with the search as he knows just about everyone. While they search and tend to the farm, they find the company more than enjoyable.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
