Thank you for the advance copy of this Fantastic series.

What more can I say than Fantastic,

This was a brilliant story and great addition to the series of Love heart Lane.

This was an enjoyable story. The characters were well rounded and sympathetic, the humour engaging and the plot interesting enough to keep me turning the pages.

This is however the thirteenth title in the series and I found there were quite a few references made to previous events (as you’d expect) which I was completely unfamiliar with. You can read this as a stand alone, but had I realised there were so many previous stories in the series I probably wouldn’t have applied for it.

*** Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher ***

I absolutely love these feel good British books that are more like women's fiction than romance. But they are woven together so well I just have the best experience reading them. I loved the adoption them and the new friends and loves. It was the best book. 5 star cozy read for me.
I just reviewed The Library on Love Heart Lane by Christie Barlow. #NetGalley

This was an endearing installment to the Love Heart Lane series. I loved the small community and the characters. Elle’s story captivated me.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Thanks to netgalley for the chance to read this book.

I previously read this as Evie’s year of taking chances and loved it.

It has been rewritten, improved and doesn’t disappoint.

Elle Cooper grew up in foster care and has always felt something was missing from her life. As she approaches her 30th birthday she decides to find her birth mother which leads to her finding new friends, old flames that helps her realise that there is more to life than where you come from.

Firstly thank you to @onemorechapterhc @christie_barlow @netgalley for the advanced copy to read & review as part of the readalong.
I’ve not read any of the previous Love Heart Lane books but didn’t feel at a disadvantage when reading this book which is book 12 in the series. I really enjoyed this book, the characters with the exception of two were so likeable. It both made me smile and pulled at my heart strings. The setting of the book was simply gorgeous and the way Christie described it transported me there. Is you want a feel good read I can highly recommend this book. 5 ⭐️ read for me. Will definitely read more of the series.

I love stories about life and this one had it all. Elle Cooper decides on the approach to her thirtieth birthday to try and find her birth mother. As always with this author, this book is about community, friendship and dealing with the issues of what life has to throw at you.

This book takes you on Elle's journey and is so heart-warming and so easy to read. It flows well, has great characters (some you may know from other books of this author/series) and is paced so you never feel bored or let down. It took me no time at all to read this book and I enjoyed it was entertained by it and found it cosy and charming.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A lovely book in this lovely series. I couldn't wait to start this one as I'd enjoyed the others in this series. I got lost in this story and loved the characters. It can be read as a stand alone book.

Thirteen is an unlucky for some, not for Christie Barlow and not for the readers of the Love Heart Lane series as we are back again with another wonderful heartwarming, life affirming story.

Elle loves her job in the library, but she has always known that life will not be complete until she knows the truth about her birth mother. Her foster mother is her life and she is eternally grateful for the life she has been given. But now turning 30, she thinks perhaps it is time to find out the truth.

As projects to make the library more popular start, it seems that Elle is going to learn about her past but also what might be able to make up her future as well.

Christie Barlow’s books are very strong community wise and if you have been with the series since the beginning, then familiar and regular characters make an appearance and add to the layers of the story. However never make the mistake that thus book or any of the previous, are fluffy frivolous stories. They of course have elements of that, but they all deal with some real issues that can be difficult to discuss or portray in fiction. Barlow does it with aplomb.

I cannot wait until I am back in Love Heart Lane, if only I could move there!

Love Heart Lane is one of the places I go when I want to fell good, read about a lovely place and meet great people.
This is another addition to this lovely series and it made me smile and catch up with old friend.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I love this series and each addition to it! Loved to hear of the previous characters and meeting the new ones too! What’s not to love on Love Heart Lane .

How could I not come back for more from the Love Heart Lane series.

Elle is the librarian at the Love Heart Lane library and enjoys a quiet life. As her thirtieth birthday approaches she decides to start the search for her birth mother having grown up in foster care. The search sets in motion a host of events which turns Elle’s life upside down.

Elle is another lovable character that Christie Barlow has created and you find yourself cheering for her as she goes on the journey of searching for her birth mother. Elle’s friend Pippa is also a great character, the opposite personality of Elle but the two complement each other and their friendship brings a smile to your face.

As well as the feel-good heart-warming story, this book also talks of more difficult issues and is done so sensitively and with care.

Despite this being the thirteenth book in the series, you could easily read this as a standalone novel. Although if you haven’t read the others then I highly recommend them.

This is one of my favourite series, it feels like catching up with old friends each time I return and as if I am part of the community. I can’t wait to visit Love Heart Lane again.

The Library on Love Heart Lane is a cosy, small-town romance where all the characters seem to be connected in some way or other through friends or family.

It's book thirteen in the series but I read it as a standalone.

This book centres around Elle who is looking for her birth mother. She is also single but secretly pining for Noah whom she had met a while ago. I did wonder why she didn't phone him but I enjoyed watching Pippa interfere and kickstart some social media interaction between the pair. It was cute watching them look out for likes and messages.

Elle's back story pulled on my heartstrings as I read about her childhood and how that affected her. Her reunion with her mother was sensitively handled. I had an inkling as to who her father would be and it was pleasing to see the scenario of their meeting unfold.

The romance between Noah and Elle was a slow burn where they kept missing opportunities because of a lack of communication on Elle's part. She was really bad at sending out the right signals to him and I wondered how long he was going to hang about. But, it all worked out in the end sweetly and charmingly.

For a light, relaxing read The Library on Love Heart Lane fits the bill.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a cozy, pleasant book that I enjoyed a lot.

I can't quite believe that this is book 13 in the love heart lane series. One that is always enjoyable to return to with characters you love. The books can be read as standalones. But it is nice to read the whole series. Another enjoyable one and. Was lovely to catch up with all the characters

This is book 13 in the Love Heart Lane series although it can be read as a standalone novel. I reccomend reading the books in order though, as there are characters who pop up in several of the books.
I love reading books about libraries and I really enjoyed reading this book. The book focuses more on the staff who work at the library as well as a couple of famous Authors.
There are some new characters, but we also catch up with some of the previous characters which is always good.
I was convinced that I knew the identity of the mysterious Author Sam, but I was completely wrong.
There was some romance, family reunions and some sad moments. Ultimately it was a heartwarming read.
I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

It's great to be back in Heartcross again for this latest edition in this series, although this can be read as stand-alone. Christie Barlow is an amazing way of bringing it characters to life and we can't help but fall in love with them, whether they are a new character or old and in this beautiful story- The Library on Love Heart Lane, we get to meet Elle. Elle is one of the librarians working at the library in Heartcross, alongside her good friend Pippa and they get along famously despite being like chalk and cheese. Elle is the quiet one, she has had a difficult past that she doesn't really talk about apart from with her foster mother Irene, where is Pippa is lively and bright with a love for fashion and a good time.

Elle is approaching a milestone birthday, birthdays always make her think about where she came from, who her birth mother was, and why she didn't want to keep her? So is this birthday is here turning 30 it seems even more poignant, is it time that she took action to find out more and she contacts the Salvation Army.

Of course, we are on Love Heart Lane, so we have to have some romance and with both Elle and Pippa looking for love, we wont be disappointed. With a handsome new librarian turning up unexpectedly, things are looking up but for whom. Elle is still hankering after her lost love Noah Jones a well known author with whom she shared a very fleeting moment in the past. When she hears Noah is to make a visit to the library to talk about his new book, Elle is excited but worries, will he remember her?

A story that will make you laugh, but also has some emotional moments for several characters, and we do find out the heart wrenching back story to Elles birth which made me shed a tear, but you’ll soon be laughing again, don’t worry.

Christie never disappoints and this one is another brilliant addition to the series.

Love Heart Lane
Where friends are there for you no matter what……..
I love books that have a library setting in a cute town. And, with reading this book, I got both of these things.
Throw in good friends, family, secrets and you get a fun story that will have you laughing and crying.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

In this 13th book in the series about the little village of Heartcross we meet Elle and her foster mother Irene. Nobody knows that Irene is her foster mother, everybody thinks she is her real mom. But now Elle has turned 30 she finds the time is right do start the search for her biological mother. In the book we also get to know Elle’s colleague Pippa who has just broken up with her boyfriend and becomes Elle’s housemate.

Aiden is a new person, he just transferred from the library in Inverness to Heartcross and is Elle and Pippa’s new colleague. Irene who used to work in the library has just retired and as Elle’s mom is still present a lot in the book.

Pippa has two men asking for her attention and she has to make a decision as to what she wants, this is a nice side story next to Elle’s search for her biological mother.

The library is to host the book signing of author Noah Jones on which Elle has a liking. You follow in the preparations of this but also in the other day to day life of Elle and Pippa and their friends.

As it’s a feelgood story all turns out for the good in the end but to my liking it was a bit too coincidental but aside from that it was a fun read.
