In this third tome of the Honey Creek Serie, we will follow new lovers. One is a friend of Colby McBride, hero of the previous tome, and will meet too Peco Smith. Otherwise it's really a new story, or should I say 3 new stories who will converge.

This is the third book in Jodi Thomas' Honey Creek Series. This one is set in Cliffton Bend, a college town nearby. We follow three couples with three different stories. After we learn about each one they band together to help find a criminal who is setting pipe bombs. I love Ms. Thomas' writing and this one was up there.
It did take me a while to blend the three stories together.
I highly recommend this book and series. I have read all of Ms. Thomas' series and each one is wonderful. Thank you, Net Galley, for this advanced copy for an honest review. Looking forward to buying the audible version.

I love Jodi Thomas books, but this one fell a little short of five stars, I had problems with the three stories involving three different couples all being told at the same time with no real connection until later in the book. It was hard to keep track of their backgrounds and who was with whom. However, I enjoyed the book, and enjoy when characters from previous books play a role, so the reader is brought up to date on them. I would like to know more about that unique house! Jodi Thomas has a way with words and descriptions that really make the reader see what is happening and feel close to the story. I received an ARC copy for an honest review.

Jodi Thomas has done it again. This is a great book. This is about three couples who are seeking love. The path to true love is sometimes bumpy. This story centers around a pipe bomber. He keeps leaving bombs all around town. The couples pull together to fight for their love and stop the pipe bomber.

The Honey Creek series continues with Dinner on Primrose Hill. Professors Virginia Clark and Benjamin Monroe embark on a research project studying mating habits of college students. Professor Moore soon realizes that they, in fact, had a past. Ketch Kincaid meets Tuesday Raine, who helps him out after a drunken night lands him too unsteady to get home. Ketch recognizes a sadness in Tuesday and is determined to help her (and maybe himself). Millie Remington, a beloved local librarian, is on her way from work to get some groceries. In the pouring rain, she’s distracted as she steps off a curb and literally collides with a motorcyclist, Hank Norton. Hank feels responsible to help Millie as she recovers from her injuries. Connected by a series of circumstances, these couples learn that finding love is not always a project, and they must work together to solve the mystery of who is trying to cause trouble around Town. I enjoyed reading Dinner on Primrose Hill, but the storylines of the three couples felt a bit disjointed at times. I almost wish the three sets of main characters had storylines in their own books.

Dinner at Primrose Hill follows the storyline’s of three couples (one in their 20s, one in their 30s one in their 40s). The story follows their somewhat fated meetings, blossoming relationships and slow intertwining of their storylines.

It is a lovely light romance and I intend to read the one previewed at the end of the book soon.

Great story. Easy to follow, great characters, and enjoyable throughout.
The story follows the lives of three couples, their meetings, courtship and relationship. I love how everything slowly builds and comes together.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Dinner on Primrose Hill is the first book I have read by Jodi Thomas but it will not be tge last. The characters were unique but fit together perfectly. The reader gets involved in each storyline. It was an easy and light read tgat kept me up so I could finish it.

There’s just something about this series. This author has an unique way of sliding you right into the story and a part of it all.

I absolutely loved this visit to Honey Creek and the surrounding town. The characters are so unique, and the stories literally consume you. And I love that everyone has a bit of mystery. So much fun. I can’t wait for the next visit. I love the slow slide of romance, respect and humor.

Dinner on Primrose Hill is part of the Honey Creek series but can be read as a stand alone. It introduces new characters but eventually includes past characters from the other books. The story follows three couples on how they meet and their courtship. There is humor, romance and a mystery. I enjoyed this book very much. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington/Zebra for the E-ARC. This is my own opinion.

Benjamin Moore is a professor at the college and his colleague Virginia Clark seems familiar but he not sure from where he has meet her. Ben is 42 and already set in his ways. Virginia (Jenny) ask for his help on a research paper about studying the mating habits of people.

Ketch is about to graduate from college and gets a Dear John letter from his fiancé. He goes out to get drunk and Tuesday is working at the bar. Ketch is going to walk home when he falls and Tuesday helps him back up. Just as he leaves men come out of the bar bothering Tuesday. Ketch is a big guy and goes back to help her. Tuesday ends up walking Ketch home. This is the beginning of their friendship.

Amelia is the librarian at the college and comes out to go to her car and his hit by Harrison on his motorcycle. Harrison " Hank" goes to make sure she is ok and finds her with a broken leg along with other injuries and decides to stay at her home to help her out since she has not family. Their story was my favorite.

I have read all three books and just love them.

Another wonderful addition to Jodi Thomas' Honey Creek series. I love how she lets us revisit characters. I think that's what I love most about her books!

After reading the first two Honey Creek novels, I was thrilled to be sent an ARC for the third, Dinner at Primrose Hill. I had been expecting to follow up with the same characters we’d followed in the first two books, but in Dinner at Primrose Hill we’re introduced to three new love stories.
Of the three love stories, I was particularly drawn to Ketch and Tuesday. Ketch the ex army chemistry student who worked construction, and Tuesday the bar maid who helped a drunk Ketch home after he’d been dumped.
The other 2 story lines fell a little flat for me. Jenny and Benjamin, two professors who had previously hooked up over a long weekend when they were in college themselves. Amelia and Hank are brought together when Hank hits Amelia on his motorcycle as she’s crossing the street.
Overall, this was a fun weekend read that left me feeling good at the end.

This is a romance novel involving three couples. Benjamin and Jenny teach at the same college. They knew each other from years ago, and the flame never burned out. We know this because when they're finally in the car together and he is wondering if he should take a chance on kissing her, she says, "Do you want to touch my breasts?" This is not meant to be funny or ironic.

Hank is a pastor's good-for-nothing son who runs over the librarian with his motorcycle. Remorseful, he moves in to take care of his "pretty lady." Love bursts into bloom even though he's hiding the fact that he's secretly on the bomb squad of an entirely different city; this is helpful since somebody's leaving poorly-made pipe bombs around the town.

Ketch falls in love with Tuesday, since they have foster childhood in common. He's gigantic, she's Lilliputian, and even though they're intent on remaining platonic, every time they see each other, she tells him, "Pick me up," which he does like a toy. And then they kiss.

These unconvincing story lines, plus typos and illogical sentences, made for a DNF. Thanks anyway to the publisher for allowing me to read this novel.

Benjamin Monroe and Virginia Clark are two professor who agree to work together on a research project called The Chemistry of Mating and split the prize money. Jenny feels an attraction to Ben and hopes that working together will lead to a relationship. One of Ben’s star students Ketch is working on the project to gather research material. He is struggling with a bad breakup and befriends Tuesday a barmaid who is struggling with heartbreak also. Hank and Millie meet when he hits her with his motorcycle as she is crossing the street. He has to step up and be her caregiver when she has no one to help her. Follow the relationships of these three couples and also some suspense with someone making pipe bombs and leaving in spots around town! Enjoyed this book!

Thanks to Jodi Thomas and Kensington for this book

Dinner at Primrose Cafe by Jodi Thomas about three couples, who have just met and their delightful journey of getting together. I enjoyed how their lives intersect and how sweet and kind they were to each other. A lovely feel good story, that I was sad when it was done.

Dinner on Primrose Hill follows the strange and budding romances of three couples. Jenny and Benjamin are professors at the local college. He is completely regimented while she is wild and carefree. At first he doesn’t recognize her as the girl he fell for as a freshman.
Ketch is a vet whose fiancé just left him and he is drifting. Tuesday is a local barmaid with a bad reputation. They have nothing in common but being outsiders and unmoored.

Hank is seen as the bad boy from town; his father was the preacher. He roars into town and hits Millie, the local librarian. He decides to help her back to health. It turns out that Hank is a police captain specializing in bombs.

The story is ostensibly about finding someone leaving pipe bombs around town just in time for a visit by the governor. But really the book is about drifting and being without hope or connection. And it is about redemption and love where and with whom we don’t expect it

This captivating story has a rather large cast of characters, Benjamin, Virginia/Jenny, Ketch, Tuesday, Amelia, Harrison/Hank and those are only the main characters that this story is about. Each of them has their own individual stories and ties to the small town in Texas where this story takes place.

Benjamin and Virginia, also known as Jenny are professors at the local college, Amelia is the college librarian, Ketch is a student at the college and has completed 4 years in the Army, Tuesday works at a local bar and has grown up in the area, Harrison, also known as Hank grew up in the town, and is the son of a preacher, and has a "bad boy" reputation. He is only visiting and lives elsewhere now.

Amelia is closing up the library and preparing to leave for the day with plans for a quiet time at home, however when she walks outside , a big rain storm has blown into town and she can't see where she is going. The rain is blinding and all of a sudden she find herself on the pavement. Hank can't see where he's going either and runs right into Amelia with his motorcycle. Hank sustains a few cuts and scratches whereas Amelia has broken bones and other severe injuries.

At the college where they are both professors Benjamin and Jenny realize they have a 20 year old past however, neither of them acknowledges that they knew each other many years ago, in fact, they mostly avoid one another.

Ketch is nearing graduation and was making plans for the future with his fiance when he receives a letter from her breaking up with him. After a night of drinking to sooth the pain, Tuesday rescues him in the parking lot, get him home and patches up his injuries resulting from a fight.

As this beautifully written story evolves, it is both heart wrenching and heartwarming to feel the pain and suffering and also experience the healing and happiness as each person has something to offer the other. Jodi Thomas expertly weaves the story of each person together to be one compelling, difficulty to put down book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book. The opinions and comments are my own.

A highly entertaining read showing how romance, passion and chemistry happen between the most unlikely people, “Dinner on Primrose Hill”, by Jodi Thomas (Kensington Books/Zebra), creates a fictional world with unique and relatable characters readers want to escape to.
I found the story cosy and romantic, the characters and their stories different and interesting and the three couples’ HEA very uplifting for such troubled souls. I really liked that some of the characters weren’t broken but had lost hope and yet were able to find happiness. The fact they are not perfect and are not trying to impress is also fascinating.
The writing style is good and I just wanted to keep reading and see where the plot was going. I loved meeting characters from the previous story.
Some dimensions are openly far-fetched – the 8-year boy speaks sometimes like an adult, some dialogue parts sounded unnatural – but it all fits so well with the story. Very enjoyable!

This is a new to me author and I thought she had written a beautiful story. Mostly about friendship.
The characters were quite wonderful, realistic and relatable.
I loved Primrose Hill. It's interesting how the author came up with the mansion's name and the way she described it made feel like I actually lived in it.
My favorite was Tuesday. Oh my goodness I definitely thought this was an unusual and interesting name.
Why she was my favorite I really can't say. I guess maybe it was the way she looked at life and how she handled what came her way.
I will say that some places in this book made me giggle. I mean I just couldn't help myself.
A book that I couldn't put down this one really made my day. I simply loved it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
