I have loved the author's previous books and enjoyed the first in this series. However I think this should have remained at one book. This one was cringeworthy and had nothing to add, just padding. Very disappointed. |

Was disappointed with this book and think it would have been better not to try and make this into a series. The first should have been a standalone or like the other series perhaps concentrate on a different character. On it's own it's an ok book but having loved the author's other work this did not meet my expectations. |
Oh my gosh I loved this book I couldn't put it down. The story is brilliant and I love the fact it doesn't just revolve around 1 couple. But I also love that there was no yucky ness, like they had affairs or break ups all the way through. Please can we have another one number 3 please I so wanna know what's next |
A good second installment. I'd strongly suggest reading book 1 first. This story is told alternately from Josh and Sam's perspective which i though improved the story. A light, fun read. |

This book is fabulous. I love the relationship between Sam and Josh and how it is growing into something more. How the arrival of new Hedgehogs all with different ailments bring family, friends and even strangers to help to care for them. How Sam gives them all a name, gives them the best care they could ever receive but still has reservations that she doesn’t give enough. Within this story, Sam finds out more about why her mother is so unloving and distant and begins to slowly realise that it is nothing to do with her.. However that doesn’t stop Sam questioning herself. I love this book and cannot wait for the next one |
A fabulous cover for a fabulous read! I totally adore this series, they just get better. Samantha now has the Hedgehog rescue centre up and running whilst still juggling a full time job and someone is still set out to destroy Hedgehog Hollow. Herself and Josh are now in love and we find out more about Josh's family and the estranged relationship with his father Paul. I love the way the chapters flowed between the POV from Samantha and Josh and with the cute Hedgehogs. Jessica wrote in her acknowledgements that this was the hardest to write, but to me by far one of the best books Jessica has written. Full of drama, love, family and friendships a total joy to devour. A big fat 5 hedgehogs from me 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔 |

I’m glad I had read the first book in the series before reading this one. Sam is a very likeable main character who puts everyone and everything before herself. I really enjoyed finding out about the work and commitment in helping injured hedgehogs I’m hoping there will be third book in the series. I couldn’t put this book down and got really involved in Sam and Josh and their families. |
I received an advance copy of, New Arrivals at Hedgehog Hollow, by Jessica Redland. The characters were ok, the setting was ok. It was a bit boring and blah. |
Feel good, ROM com magic. Great characters. A feel good story line. Lots of love and romance. Great for escaping and a really easy to read book. Awesome. |
Another fantastic journey back to Hedgehog Hollow! I loved the first one and the character of Sam! The last book made me so emotional and I felt a connection to her through my own childhood issues. She is such a lovely person and seeing her face problem after problem with such fire was awe inspiring! What I loved about this story was we got to learn more about Josh and his family issues and boy is there many! The support he and Sam give each other strengthens their bond! I can’t wait for the next instalment |
I'm glad that I picked up the first book in this series, because it forms an important background for this book. This is definitely not your typical romance as one of the major story lines deals with parental estrangement for both Samantha and Josh. There is lots of information about hedgehogs and running an animal rescue charity. Interesting and engaging characters; a very enjoyable read. |
In this second instalment we follow Sammie and Josh as they navigate their relationship while the hedgehogs start arriving at the rescue centre. However there are many complications, Sammie and her Mothers relationship is over, the continued targeting of the farm by vandals and news from Josh’s Dad shakes everyone up. But there is no stopping the community spirit and lifelong friendships Sammie has cultivated. I adore this book series, the topics dealt with are gritty and sometimes heartbreaking. Yet the laughter is plentiful and the connection the characters have is beautiful. I am anxiously awaiting the next book. |
Second book in the series and I can’t wait for more!! We get to know Sam and Josh more as they open Hedgehog Hollow and follow the adventure of a lifetime with the hedgehog rescue. Delightful characters and so much laughter and love, with a splash of drama. Can’t wait to see what this delightful series has in store for us next!! Thank you NetGalley, Jessica Redland and Boldwood Publishingfor this edition and hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you #partner |
