Lovely story, full of great characters. A little bit too coincidental, but it’s about library, love, books and a male stripper. What’s not to like?

The Library on Love Heart Lane was a sweet book about finding love and family. It was only my second read of the series, so I feel like it would be even better if I had read the others and knew all the characters, but still thoroughly enjoyed this one. It tells Elle's story and her quest to find love, and her birth Mum. Elle's best friend and work colleague Pippa also plays a large role in this story and I really enjoyed the side stories with Aiden and Wilson. This one was emotional and moving and I really enjoyed how it played out.

It’s always a treat to be back on Love Heart Lane and being set in a library, this ticked all the boxes
Elle’s story is an emotional one - having been through so much, it’s understandable she wants to find some answers now she’s turning 30. I thought her relationship with Irene was particularly special and loved their unconditional love and support for eachother.
Filled with some familiar characters and of course some favourite settings, The Library on Love Heart Lane is the perfect romance read to get lost in.

I absolutely love the Love Heart Lane series and am so grateful to netgalley to have been able to read an advanced copy. So although this is part of a series, it is a very good standalone. I love Christie Barlow's style of writing and all her wonderful characters. This is a beautifully written heartwarming & heart lifting story that I absolutely recommend.

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. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

A catch up with friends and a warm hug all in one book. I'll never tire of meeting the residents of Love Heart Lane, each has their own story to tell which just socks you in each time. Absolutely perfect reading and I could not put it down and read this in one sitting. I just hope they never end.

Really charming story, gorgeous setting, very well written, flowed well, great characters that i could really connect too, and it was a lovely read. I have enjoyed all of Christies books and i will continue to do so.

As a Chartered Librarian this book irritated me beyond belief. Three qualified librarians working in one small branch library. We should all be so lucky! And they seem to spend their time issuing books, dealing with personal problems and shouting across the library to each other.

When I discovered at the end of the book that it had been reworked by the author some of the feeling of disconnection I felt whilst reading it at least made a bit more sense. Having read some of the books Christie Barlow actually wrote for this series, I feel that this one is an imposter.

The plot and characterisation are fairly good, but the latter relies on rather too much co-incidence for my taste and the ending is a bit of a damp squib.

This story is about two friends but mainly about Elle. It’s a feel good book that starts slow. There’s several surprises towards the end of the book. It’s a nice romance that I enjoyed more as the story went on

Christie Barlow is in my all-time top ten of authors, and once again has written an excellent book. I love her books and the characters that appear appear in them. This one was no exception.

Thank you one more chapter, netgalley and Christie Barlow. Visiting Love heart lane over and over is like visiting old friends that really do feel like family. I liked the little twists in this book which kept me quite literally just saying one more chapter. I couldn't put this one down. thank you again.

Another instalment of the Love Heart Lane. I have read most of the series and really enjoyed each instalment. A mixture of old and new characters. Fans of Christie Barlow won’t be disappointed. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.

Another lovely warm hug of a book based in love heart lane!
A new venue but a wonderful mix of old and new characters, it really feels like coming home with familiar faces and landmarks.
A book based in a library, writing, famous authors,books and a quest for family, love and friendship ensure a beautiful read full of kindness, understanding, surprises and a sense of belonging!
Wonderful characters in Elle, Noah,Pippa and Irene to name but a few!
Sensitive topics such as abandonment, adoption and substance abuse all illustrated sensitively and tactfully.
I have read all the books in this series and have loved them all.

Loved reading more about the beautiful town I’d read in another book previously. Couldn’t put this one down and really enjoyed getting to know some different characters in the same town I grew to love.

What a joy - a delight to read! Somewhere there is happiness for each of us, we just have to be in the right place at the right time!

A good romance, twinged with sadness, about Ellie who battled neglect and a feeling of not being acknowledged during her early years until she was adopted by Irene her foster mum. Ellie’s a lovely character as is her best friend Pippa, who is not known to hold back thoughts, ideas and passions. A true romance with a lovely happy ending. The perfect read for a winter’s day, snuggled up in front of the fire with a warming drink. Thank you Christie for another feel-good novel.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, HarpersCollins One More Chaper for this advance copy.

Elle is now 30 and has decided the time is right for her to find her birth mother who gave her up when she as a baby. All she has to go on is a rent card with a name on that went with her to every home she went to. Will she find her mum and what about Irene (her other mum, who brought her up?) She also has a bit of a romance going on with a writer who came to the library where she works, will they get together properly?

Absolutely loved this novel and The Love Heart Lane series of books, can't wait for the next one! Lots of stories are running through this novel, but didn't want to give too much away. Many thanks to the publishers for inviting me to read this and to NetGalley. Highly recommended.

A wonderful light hearted read with a very real underlying message from real life. Ellie is approaching 30 and having been abandoned at birth and had an horrendous childhood she later found a better life with Irene , her foster mother. However she longs to find her birth mother and the story revolves round that quest. Well drawn characters abound in this book and love of course blossoms for several of the characters. I look forward to dipping into this series
A perfect warming read on a cold winters day

Fantastic to be back in Love Heart Lane, this really is a great series and one not to be missed. They can be read as standalone books but are much better when read as a series. If you haven't read any of these before please try to do so. . I highly recommend this books and give it 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for this ARC

This was such a cute story with some great characters, I adored Elle and Noah and now I can't wait to read more from Christie Barlow!

An easy warm read as usual from this author.. it is always good to be back in Heartcross and to meet new characters as well as the familiar ones.
I did feel that this one took a little while to get going and there were a few too many coincidences, hence only 4 stars this time.
