You don't have to look for it. Love will find you when the time is right.

After reading the previous part a few months ago, I could hardly wait for the rest of the story. I was so happy when I finally could put it on my Kindle.

What I like about reading a series is that you get to know more about some characters you have met before. It feels like they have become friends, but it also means that new people are introduced who have an impact on them. If one of those newcomers is responsible for the future happiness of one of those friends, it makes it even better. Of course, friends would not be friends if they did not stand by each other even if they do not always see eye to eye.

Although I did enjoy part 2, I liked this one even more. I love the little suspense that was added.
Now there is only one person left to be matched with 'the one'. I hope that this is what the author will treat us to in part 4.

Once again a feel good story that is fluently written and kept me under its spell the whole way through.

Thank you, Emma Davies, Bookouture and Netgalley

Have been eagerly awaiting this book and haven’t been disappointed. It’s been great catching up with the old gang at Joy’s Acres. Yet Another fantastic book from Emma

I'm not sure what I can say about this that I haven't already said about the first two books in this series. It was a such a joy to back at Joy Acres with Maddie, Seth, Tom, Clara and Trixie it felt as though i was returned home.

For despite what the blurb says to me Clara is the main character of this book, of the main people that are at Joy Acre, it is her turn to find romance, and to go on a journey of self discovery. I am not sure how much thought I had given to her before this book, other than in a supporting role, but I now feel as though I know her a whole lot better.

The story takes in her friendship with Trixie and how it all changes when a TV producer comes to town and wants to make the pair of them stars of a cooking and gardening show.

So who is the Megan that the blurb focuses on you may ask? Well she is staying at Joy Acre farm and taking part in the blacksmithing contest held up the the big manor house owned by Agatha who featured in the first book of the series.

Some chapter did focus on Megan and I found the blacksmithing contest interesting as its a skill I have never really thought about until this book and the finale to her storyline was incredibly gripping. I just didn't feel as connected to her.

It was fabulous to catch up with old friends and this book could easily be read as a standalone. It was lovely to see a bit more of Agatha and my feelings towards her have softened with how she is in this book. I really enjoyed reading this book, given how familiar the setting and characters are now it made the pages zoom past until I ran out!

This is another great addition to the series and I am eagerly awaiting the next book which I hope will give Trixie a love interest!

Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Thank you! :c)

This is book #3 in the Little Cottage on the Hill series. It can be read as a standalone book, but to understand it better it would be useful to have read the previous two books in the series as well.

Megan decides to return home to take part in a local craft competition with the prize designing new gates for the estate at the bottom of the hill. By winning this it would help secure her future staying in the village and being near her gorgeous boyfriend, Liam. But as she begins the competition, she devastated to discover a rival’s design is almost exactly the same as hers. Someone must have leaked her design…but who? And is it the same person who is spreading rumours about Liam?

How nice it is to be back at the Little Cottage on the Hill! I thoroughly enjoyed the last book so was excited to return! Obviously being back at the Cottage, there are plenty of familiar faces from the previous books and it was just like being welcomed home into the family fold! There are also plenty of new faces to get to know and love just as much as the others.

Megan is such a likeable character and together with Liam they make a lovely couple – you just hope the story gives them a happy ending! The other characters are all equally likeable and they get you all enveloped in the joy which inevitably occurs at Joy’s Acre! This, along with the previous two books in the series, are such heart-warming, feel-good books filled with plenty of love, family and laughter. An absolutely wonderful series so far, with this latest addition being no exception.

Reading this is the most perfect way to while away a sunny afternoon, losing yourself in the wonderfulness that is at the Little Cottage on the Hill. Highly recommended!

I was so looking forward to this book and to follow on with the story abs certainly didn't let me down at all so heartwarming, uplifting and romantic. You can certainly escape away in this perfect summer read and made you feel good well worth five stars.

When she at the competition she learns she can win the chance to design new gates for the estate at the bottom of the hill. This could secure her future so she really wants to win. She designs wonderful gates incase she wins but she learns someone ease who is her rival designs some identical gates she she knows someone has leaked her design but can they find out who. Will she be disqualified from the competition or will she save herself and find out who is leaking her designs. She puts everything into this and will winning matter when she learns the truth about Liam is finally revealed.
A great read and such an easy read worth more than five stars.

I adore this series about the changes at Joy’s Acre, and the changes made since we first met the people here and the changes to property and people since the beginning. And that is the joy in this series while there are new characters to meet, the continuing storylines mesh current changes to the staff / family at Joy’s Acre with the new arrival and the overriding determination to make everyone feel the magic that is contained there.

What’s joyous about Davies’ writing is the fact that each story takes readers on a journey: new characters are introduced to the main six (Aunt Agatha, Seth, Maddie, Tom, Clara and Trixie), and their impact on the original characters (excepting Aunt Agatha) as they repeatedly find reaffirmation in the magic that is Joy’s Acre, and their connections in the family they have come to create.

Here we have the opportunity to welcome Aunt Agatha into the fold, rather than a naysayer and a person to be ‘managed” as her time with the very gentle presence of Clara allows her to see how closed off and removed she’s been from both Seth, the property of Joy’s Acre, the village and life – isolating herself with memories and prickles. We have Clara with her unusual (for her) attraction to the television producer Declan, and her own conflicted feelings with the television show that is the latest change to fall on their little space. Trixie’s excitement and eagerness to participate, combined with some serious admiration (and solid takes) from Declan lead her into a place she’s not sure she wants. Fearful of the changes that could come to Joy’s Acre, she’s also aware of the monetary windfall that could arise, allowing the money to finish the last cottages and the barn – money that is always tight.

Lastly there is Megan, staying in the Gardener’s cottage during the weeks long Blacksmithing competition. A local girl who has recently finished her training, and hopes to make her mark (and possibly win a National Trust commission for gates to one of their properties) she’s also got questions and worries. Not only worries about the competition, but of her long-term boyfriend. It’s expected (by many) that she and Liam will marry, and he’d inherited his grandmother’s house –but he didn’t invite her to stay – and she’s sure he’s gone off her. When you add in some undermining at the competition, the chaos created by the film crew at Joy’s Acre, the constant babysitting needed by Seth at Agatha’s manor where the competition is taking place, and short tempers from overwork, the upheaval of routines and a fear for Clara after she was caught out in the rainstorm helping to tarp the roof that Tom was rethatching – everyone’s emotions are on edge, and the changes Clara feared are seemingly around the corner.

It’s difficult to review a book that draws you in – asking that you become a part of Joy’s Acre and watch the story unfold. These are characters that you want to know, to spend time with and Joy’s Acre is a delightful setting: opening everyone to possibilities and hope for something more: perhaps not in monetary gains – but in happiness. Take a trip to this little village and curl up with all three books – it will be the best investment of your time in ages.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley, for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Well written with a very good plot. I enjoyed the story, characters and the setting. I haven’t read this author’s books before and I am looking forward to reading more of her books. I reviewed an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.

Another delightful read in the Little Cottage series. Set in the same location with the same basic characters, it was good to catch up with them and see their ups and downs. The addition of several new characters involved in their own storyline, but intertwined with the old favourites kept the basics fresh and added lots of interest. I’m already looking forward to the next in the series
