Description

PART THREE of a serialised novel - a heartwarming and inspiring story about living the simple life and the joy of animals.

Things are finally starting to look up for Sam – a chance at her dream job as a vet, and a new friend (who is a huge animal lover himself – a very important detail!) What more could she ask for?

But a something is eating away at her: her boss Joe is acting strangely around her - he's definitely hiding something. And having dreamed of being a vet for so long, she cannot afford to put a foot wrong.

When a call to tend to a sick pony comes into the practice, it all strikes too close to home for Sam and Joe. The odds are stacked against her, and she risks losing everything…

Note: this is part three of a four-part serialised novel. The full length paperback will be available in June.

I have been greatly enjoying this adorable series. Hope Green seems like a lovely place to live and I want to be friends with every character in the book, even grumpy Mr. Vicious Vet. Looking forward to more in this series.

I was very excited for part 3 as part 2 had ended on a massive cliffhanger, so I needed to find out what happened next, and boy does part 3 live up to expectations.

In part 3 we see what happens with Sam and the baby, and we also find out a lot more about mysterious Joe the vet and get an insight into his life.

Again part 3 ends with another cliffhanger and I am dieing to get my hands on part 4.

Another 5 stars for this fantastic series.

Reading part three of this story as provided by Netgalley was like meeting up with an old friend. Sheila Norton writes with such a relaxed easy to read format that it is always with dismay that I come to the end of each installment. Village life is a bit cliched, then who doesn't like a bit of escapism, but the characters are well defined and recognisable. I cannot wait for part four.

Oh my what a place to end... Part 4 can't come quick enough!!

Well little Sam may have believed that she was an experienced veterinary receptionist  that could confidently give an hand when needed but giving an hand in a warm surgery and being full blown up to your elbows in it on a farm are two quite different things and Sam is loving every minute. The more involved she is the more she is determined to take control of her own destiny. That includes facing the demons from her own past if she is to survive country life, and keep the job she loves.
Part three is definitely a book of secrets and betrayal for both Sam and Joe. With one thing  for sure, relationships, both old and new will never be the same again.   Sheila Norton has   breathed life into the characters of Hope Green, making a fun filled cosy read that tackles some very delicate subjects. It all fits together beautifully to make an exciting and at times emotional journey.  
There are some really hard times ahead for the people of Hope Green but also new life too.

The Vets At Hope Green part three by Sheila Norton continues the story and is so delightful. I am hanging on to every word.
Life in the country is idyllic compared with the hustle and bustle of London. The village has its own set of unique personalities. It all makes for delightful reading.
The setting and animals are a huge part of the story. I really 'felt' immersed in village life.
Part three ended with a cliff hanger. I am clinging on by my nails to hear what happens next.
So delightful.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

I loved the third instalment of the Vets at Hope Green. This follows Sam as her pregnancy progresses and the relationships with her friend David and boss Joe develop.

Like the previous two parts, part three is very enjoyable and well written and it was a lovely Sunday afternoon read.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK Ebury Publishing and Sheila Norton for the chance to review.

Having enjoyed the first two parts of this book which I was sent in ebook format courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley, I was eager to revisit Hope Green as well as the cast of characters including Sam and her grandmother who I feel are like family to me now. This part of the book was as riveting as the others were and it was lovely to see the growth and changes within the characters. A heartwarming read with emotional and gripping twists and turns which I did not want to end. I am wondering how things will turn out for Sam and friends in part 4.

These books really know how to do a cliffhanger! I absolutely love this series and find myself really wanting everything to work out for Sam.

In this book we get to know a bit more about Joe and his back story and to be honest i'm not sure I like where it's going but..... I've been surprised by this series before so i'm holding out on judgement just yet!

Hurry up part 4!

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Woah. This series is amazing so far. The cliff hanger from book two was rounded up really realistically early on (which I appreciated and was grateful for) but of course, that wasn't it for the nasty surprises for our poor Little Sam.

As each story unfolds she becomes ever more the endearing main character. She's just so down to earth and realistic, which just makes her relatable. She isn't perfect by any means but that's just being human.

Her relationships with the people of the village increase in this segment and we got to learn a bit more from characters that were more on the side lines previously.

I liked where the story was going with Joe Bradley, but I'm super curious (and a little anxious) to see how things will play out with Sam, Adam and Claire. What is going on?!

The last few pages left us with another cliffhanger! But Sheila Norton knows a good place to cut off. It was quite shocking, especially after the embarrassment Sam just faced; now she has to deal with something that could be possibly heart breaking!

I need the next (and sadly last) part pronto! The is an awesome series so far!

Another fabulous short read from Sheila Norton .. I'm now desperate for the final book to be available!
This third book advances the story quite a bit - and not always where I expected it to go. Plenty to think about in this one, and plenty of laughs .. especially at the snobbery of Rachel's mother!
I'm really enjoying visiting Hope Green, and very much looking forward to finding out how it all wraps up.
Happy to recommend this to anyone who enjoys a lighthearted read with a bit of heartache hiding in the pages.

I received an arc via Net Galley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Having read parts one and two I was eager to find out what had happened to Sam as last time we were left on a cliff hanger on wether or not she was going to loose the baby. This part delves deeper into Joes life and why his moods are up and down but more down!
This series just gets better and better the more you read and can't wait to find out what happens in the last part as again you are left on a cliff hanger.
I am really liking this part as all the characters are developing into good likeable people ( well the majority ) and I could picture myself living there myself!
I would like to thank netgalley, penguin random house and bury press for this ARC I received in return for an honest review.

This instalment of the book follows how Sam is coping with her pregnancy and she is becoming part of the community of Hope Green. She has made friends with David who would like to be more than friends and she has started work as a receptionist at the vets, although her ambition is to be a vet. We are introduced to Joe’s young daughter and the reason why Joe is constantly moody.

This is an enjoyable part of the series and I am looking forward to part four.

I have loved every installment of this series so far and this third part was no exception. I really love the story and it does strike a personal chord with me too and that makes it even more enjoyable. I can't wait for the final part. I think I might have guessed where the story is going but could be completely wrong too! A really nice feel good short story.

Sam is now living with her Nan in Hope Green and loving it - she makes friends with a lovely dog loving man, David, although she is starting to feel that he might want a bit more from the friendship than she does - and she is working for the grumpy vet Joe - can she fulfil her ambitions and get more into the vet side than receptionist - and is there more to Joe than he lets on?

A lovely story with great characters but again left on a cliffhanger and cant wait for the final installment
