A really good ending to the story. It has been lovely to find out how the characters develop. The whole book has been a good read.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Again we join Anna and Sophie. Sophie is pregnant with her third child. Anna has to overcome her fear of heights so she can travel to New York with Hudson. Anna has three guys to choose from but she only loves one.
These books are like visiting your best friend. They are a breathe of fresh air.

Could wait for the final part, kept you guessing the whole time about what could happen and really enjoyed the series hope to re visit the park and see what happens to the relationships that have happened.

Starting this second half of the book with prior notions, I was taken by surprise and realised I was not only chuckling with a lot of scenes, there were unexpected twists as well!. Anna gets her life back together as well as epiphanies about what she wants from it. Her meetings with Bert made her all the more endearing. Sophie and Dave get a little sensible about how relationships work and Hudson is always rushing to the rescue. Connor and Liam (also Anna's entourage) did make interesting appearances. Now, these four separate bite-sized pieces of the book are being published as a complete book and I would recommend it based on the second half alone!
This fourth part rounds up the whole story in a very effective manner and makes the entire reading experience worth it.

Fantastic climax to the series. Great twists and turns and the ending is worth waiting for. A well written story that given little away in terms of plot until you are submerged in the action. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the series as a whole.

Thank you NetGalley.

I'm going to miss Anna and Sophie. If you haven't read this yet, know that there are three parts that come before and there will be one big book putting them all together- I hope. I feel like I've been up and down in their lives and loves over the last year. This final installment finally gives us more of Anna's backstory AND Sophie has her baby! No spoilers but know that Osborne will give you a satisfying conclusion. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. I'd like another series with these two...>

I have finally finished this rollercoaster of a read and what an ending it was. It didn’t take me long at all to catch up with Anna, Sophie, Dave, Hudson and the rest of the gang. I finished the final part of the story in two days.

In the final part of this story we get to understand more of Anna’s backstory and in the end we know exactly why she is the way she is. We read about Sophie giving birth finally (but does she have a boy or girl? and it’s quite amusing how her birth happens!) It really is great to see how Anna’s feelings change towards Hudson, there’s a whole side storyline to this so please read ‘Wildflower Park’ to find out more!

Even though this part of the book isn’t very long I found myself going from laughing out loud to then cursing certain characters. I was sitting there talking to the book as if it could hear me 😂 but it’s great how a story has that effect on you! My favourite relationship of the book has to be between Anna and Bert, as I’ve said in previous reviews of this book this just shows Anna’s integrity as a person and it was refreshing to read about. I was certainly not expecting the huge plot twist - I’m not going to spoil it but I urge you to read it for yourself.

‘Wildflower Park’ is about friendship, love and realising just what life is really about. I am very much looking forward to reading this as one whole book when published in June. I give ‘Wildflower Park’ as a whole 5*/5* 😊

Thank you to Avon Books UK and Bella Osborne for an advanced copy of this book via Netgalley.

I read this book (part 4) as soon as I got it after reading the first 3 parts in quick succession earlier in the year. A great finally filled with romance, drama and tragedy. Even though some of the story line was quite dark it was still enjoyable. I love that the book is in 4 parts as each part is a couple of hours reading meaning you can devour it in one session but would prefer to see each part released together as it took a while to remember who was who in part 4. Thumbs up from me though.

Final book of the "wildflower park" series by Bella Osborne! I have really enjoyed the entire series but the part is definitely the best part! I am giving it a 5 stars out of 5! It's excellent! The suspense is incredible, and there is so much events going on this last part! This series is a brilliant one! I recommend it to you!

Anna Goes to New York with Hudson and as they work and go sightseeing together they find themselves getting closer. Unfortunately Anna is suddenly called back to England after her parents have an accident leaving Hudson to finish the work in New York. When Anna returns to England she finds Connor is on hand to help her and her parents but is he all he seems? Anna must make a decision not only about her career but also her heart.
Great conclusion to a lovely series of books.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon/Harper Collins Publishing UK for giving me a copy of this book in return for a review.

I think I should have read the title more closely before asking to review the book. I missed the "Part Four" in the title.

So imagine my surprise when I opened my eBook and discovered I was already on chapter 31 of the book. I kept swiping right and left, thinking that perhaps my eReader wasn't working right and had missed the earlier chapters. Then I thought that perhaps something had gone wrong in the digital compilation process, and I only received part of the book.

I finally realized that this was the final in a four part series. I figured "oh well, there will be a prologue or some recaps during the story to help me follow it."

Unfortunately, there weren't, so I was lost throughout much of the story. I stumbled through it, trying to figure out what the past history was between the characters. It put me at a disadvantage, because I wasn't really able to get into the heroine's story, or empathize with her phobia for flying and high places. Or the timid way she approached some things.

I will say it is a good story, and the characters are interesting. I like the trip she took to New York City, and the way the author made me feel a bit like I was in NYC too.

But I feel like there needs to be a bit more backstory in this book to help the reader better understand the heroine and the other characters. Even if I had read the earlier three books, I would probably want some background. I read a lot and probably would have forgotten parts of Anna (the heroine's) trials and tribulations in the earlier books. So it would have helped me connect better with her.

I think I'll go back and read the other three parts. I like the author's writing style and I do love the cover of the book, which is what drew me to the book.

I love the fact Bella Osborne’s books are released in parts as it’s like returning to an old friend. Part four of Wildflower Park begins in a dramatic way as we’re back with all our favourite characters. There’s transatlantic travel, cats stealing underpants and Anna must finally decide which man is for her. A fabulous read that I can highly recommend. Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books and the author for the chance to review.

Well it certainly all kicks off in the last part of this wonderful new series from Bella Osborne. I can't believe just how much stuff happens over the course of this short amount of reading. I was gripped every step of the way as I flew through the final dose of Wildflower park. This made for an excellent end to the series and will make for awesome final chapters when the entire novel comes out in June!

We left part 3 on a cliffhanger and so I knew things were going to get exciting for Sophie and Anna in part 4 but boy does everything happen to them. Its so hard to talk about things without giving any spoilers but we do know that Sophie is going to be having a baby at some point and we're going to find out what happens between her and husband Dave. We get to see if Anna decides to conquer some of her fears and how things pan out in the advancement of her career. We also get to find out which path her heart is going to take-all so exciting.

I have to say there were some very tense moments in this novella.m There were moments where I feared for these women's safety and their were moments where I wanted to be able to jump in the book and give them some advice. You'll be pleased to know we get to hear from all of the supporting characters again in this instalment. Anna's parents appear, as does Maurice and of course Dave's mum Karen-wonderful!

I so enjoyed this and whether your are going to read all four parts separately when this part comes out or wait for the complete Wildflower Park novel, you're in for a treat. I have loved spending time with Sophie and Anna and definitely recommend this book/series. This would be a great addition to your summer TBR.

The long awaited final part of the Wildflower Park series. A somewhat predictable ending which was nonetheless very enjoyable. A gentle romance set in modern times with entertaining characters. A relaxing read, but I would have preferred to have had all 4 instalments at once.

This is the final novella in the series and boy was it a good'un! It was jam-packed full of drama and excitement and I read it in only a few hours as I couldn't put it down. The cover, once again, is absolutely beautiful and it's lovely to see the park in all it's glory with blossomed flowers and the row of colourful houses along the back. I adore the pond with the little ducklings swimming in it. It just gives the story a really nice feel to it and for me at least, it completely sucked me in.

I felt that the story, unlike the others in the series, took a bit of a darker and more serious turn compared to the first three. However, it was this that kept me hanging on to every word and I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Even though the story beforehand was building up to this last part of the novel, I still couldn't have told you what was going to happen. I was shocked when the truth came to light and couldn't believe what was happening! It was great to read.

I felt we learnt a bit more about Anna in this particular novella as well. She finally learned to tell Hudson why she doesn't drink and why she's afraid of heights and flying and subsequently, I feel it brought the two of them together and made them realise how they truly felt for each other. It was nice to get some alone time with just them, and to read about their relationship growing. It was obvious they both liked one another, but with both of them battling their own demons, it took them longer to finally admit to their feelings.

I also enjoyed that we had some time away from Wildflower Park and went to New York with Anna and Hudson, it was refreshing and brought a new feeling to the novel. However, we do also still get to read about Sophie back at home with her new baby, and I really enjoyed this too. It was so lovely reading about Sophie and Dave and their family and I was so pleased with the ending.

Overall, I would throughly recommend you give this series a read. It's entertaining, light hearted as well as easy and enjoyable to read, you won't regret it! Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.

The story takes a darker turn as the final part of the series progresses. Even though like me you may have suspected this development, the clues are there, the final events are suspenseful, and menacing and give this story another unexpected dimension. adding depth and interest.

Anna’s character develops further as the actions of others and changes in her career make her face her demons. I love this character and it’s good to see her discovering her true self. Sophie’s story is also resolved in a satisfying way, and she provides her share of angst and laughter in this final part.

Romance isn’t neglected, Anna finally realises where her heart lies but she faces significant conflict before she finds her true soulmate and her happy-ever-after.

This is a lovely, contemporary story about family, friends and career, with romance, humour and mystery, a very enjoyable read.

I received a copy of this book from Avon Books UK via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

A very satisfying conclusion wraps up this wonder Bella Osbourne series. A regular novel divided into 4 parts you must read the previous 3 books stories first. This was a great finish for Anna and Sophie's stories. A bit of a shocker concerning one of the men in Anna's life. Definitely recommend the 4 book series. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I zoomed through this episode of Wildflower Park as I was eager to find out what happened. What a tense ending. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Bella Osborne’s next one already 😀

The fourth book in the Wildflower Park-series... The one I've been (im)patiently waiting on... And luckily, it didn't disappoint.. Throughout this series, Bella Osborne has managed to keep me waiting, reading - all three first books in one afternoon, in fact! She has such a fluent style, that I honestly didn't even notice time passing as I made my way through the story. While the writing in the last part definitely seemed a bit more halting at times, the story did have two major plot twists that left me... Well... One seemed a bit random, but then did have its purpose.

The other one, though? Well, that one... I mean... I just did not see that coming. Even though, looking back now, there were definitely a couple of hints I should (could) have picked up on. Even if this twist concerns a character I definitely had my reservations about... Really, it's a pity I can't tell you more, because it would give the plot away. But, yeah. I was left floundering with Rooting for You. And I really liked it!

Well, I'd put it off and I'd put it off, but couldn't wait any longer. It was time to finally read the 4th and final part of 'Wildflower Park'.

Things come to a satisfactory, though a little unusual, ending. All was explained and all was happily ever after; for most of the characters. I'm not going to give away for whom it wasn't, buy the book to find out for yourself.

As always, Bella Osborne weaves her magic and I look forward to her future novels with great anticipation.

My thanks to Netgalley for the review copy.
