Blurb

Single dad, Joel Grainger, is devoted to his little girl, Imogen, doing all he can to be a key part of her life. But with Imogen’s mum being ever more difficult and Joel’s job suddenly in doubt, he’s worried that everything is about to change. Joel has given everything to Imogen, and he doesn’t regret it, but maybe he’s lost himself along the way…

Since her dad’s heart-breaking dementia diagnosis, Poppy Wells has been struggling and desperately needs a break. An opportunity to stay in gorgeous Whisperwood Farmhouse nestled in the Yorkshire Wolds and a stone’s throw away from Bumblebee Barn couldn’t be more perfect. Finally able to breathe, Poppy begins to see a new life ahead, a place where she can heal her broken heart and be part of something special. But can she ever leave her beloved dad to get the happiness she craves?

When Poppy and Joel meet there’s an instant connection. But with both of them at a crossroads, a future together seems impossible. Can they find the strength to overcome their challenges to secure their forever home together?

My Opinion

Jessica Redland takes the reader on an emotional journey with this stunning book. I was in two minds whilst reading this, I wanted to read on to read more about Poppy and Joel but I also didn’t want the book to end. Whilst there are some difficult topics – all of which were handled delicately – this was such a sweet book to read. I was hooked from the very beginning and I really didn’t want to put the book down.

Rating 5/5

Did I like this book? It's a Jessica Redland book so obviously I absolutely loved it and that's without even opening the cover!

I loved returning to Bumblebee Barn, it's one of my favourite bookish places to visit, just like its predecessor Hedgehog Hollow.

Reconnecting with familiar faces is always a win and with them all being so lovely I never want to leave.

A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft is a beautifully written addition to the Bumblebee Barn series. It touches on some difficult subject matter which is handled in a delicate manner and it's guaranteed to evoke emotions. It wraps you up in a warm hug and touches the heart.

Romantic, hopeful and thoroughly enjoyable.

The third book in a wonderful series by Jessica Redland, this is a poignant, heartwarming story about following your heart, saying goodbye and embracing new beginnings. I adored Joel and Poppy’s story, both are wonderful characters which is a common trait of Jessica’s - creating characters we feel connected to and want the best for!
We’ve previously met Joel in previous stories but now he is front and centre, deservedly so, I’ve been looking forward to know more about him. He’s so used to being seen as second best, a great guy but not THE guy. His daughter is his world and his ex seems to do all she can to limit their time together.
Poppy, what a character – I felt so emotional for her, having had so much to deal with losing her Mum but then having to be strong as her Dads health declined. Life hasn’t gone the way she thought it would and at best, she’s struggling to move forward in any way. It soon becomes clear she needs a break, and ends up discovering the perfect place, the perfect person and the perfect time away to see what she needs to do next.
I love when characters have chemistry that sparks from the page, Joel and Poppy do instantly. Not only was romance inevitable but it seemed each person found their best friend; a person who was completely on their side and willing to do whatever it took to make the other happy. A fast moving relationship but a clearly strong connection.
As always, there are ups and downs, misunderstandings and other people throwing spanners in the works; both have so much going on in their lives do they have the time for each other.
Jessica handles sensitive topics so sensitively, yet again highlighting issues and topics amongst the romantic, cosy element we all love. I highly recommend this one (and every one by the author!)
Always sad when a series comes to an end, but a gorgeous book to end on. I always look forward to the next book from Jessica.

I probably mention every time I review a book by Jessica Redland how much I love her books and her writing, no apologies here about any authors I adore, I will keep shouting to the rooftops until everyone who loves romance gives them a try. I’m just trying to create my own little club where we go to little coffee shops, read and chat books whilst eating cake.

Anyway, back to the book, it’ll be no surprise for for you to read that I absolutely love this story, the characters are so relatable so three dimensional and they’re just the kind of people you want as friends, the community in this book it’s just somewhere I would want to live so much, I wish I could just open the book and move right in.

Joel and Poppy are such fantastic characters, I love how supportive Joel was and how wonderful he was with Imogen. My heart was aching for Poppy so much, another story that help me grabbing the tissues at points, especially for Poppy. This book deals with dementia, loss/grief as well as stalking, all are handled very sensitively and with such care.

I love the fact Jessica reminds us in this and her other stories but it’s never too late to find happiness to find love, you just have to be willing to let it in. It’s something I adore and is always good to be reminded. Sad to see this short series end, but always looking forward to new adventures.

Poppy's friends convince her to take a break
To go away for a few days, a holiday to take.
She stays in Whisperwood Farmhouse, amazed there to find
Such a great community, new friends who are kind.

She also meets a handsome man in several different places
But a both have difficulties they have to face.
A wedding, a reception, an ex and child, too,
All have different roles in what they're going to do.

Another brilliant read with great new characters galore
And the chance to catch up on some from books which I adore.
There's family drama and problems they need to resolve, too,
Before they can be a happy ever after for these two!

For my copy of this delightful book I say a huge thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review

Loved it!! I was happy to see a continuation of the Bumblebee Barn Series. Plus, there's so many familiar faces from Hedgehog Hollow, I think I need a glossary of all the characters from the previous books, so I could remember everyone. Barney's best friend, Joel, is the central character along with Poppy. Unfortunately, Joel has limited time to spend with his daughter. Tilly never wants to allow Imogen to spend time with her dad. She always finds reasons why Joel can't see his daughter and will pick a fight at the drop of a hat. Joel should have went to court with Tilly from the start. Tilly has a lack of respect for Joel and even tries to move without his consent. Poppy works nonstop as an accountant, taking care of bees and visiting her dad who is suffering from dementia. Wilf and Benji are the perfect neighbors. Poppy takes a much needed holiday at a cottage that just happens to be near Bumblebee Barn. Poppy is immediately welcomed by everyone and gets an invitation to Amber and Barney's gorgeous wedding. There must be something in the water with everyone getting married and having babies. I knew Joel and Poppy would be perfect together. There was definitely something wrong with Damon. He was DELUSIONAL and did not understand the meaning of no. He was scary and I had no idea how he would react to anything. Joel's brother, Chester, had so much growing up to do. He's living rent free with his brother, eats all his food, does naughty stuff in Imogen's bedroom and shows no respect for his brother. I was surprised that Poppy didn't use the name Robin. Loved Poppy and Joel's moggy cat Moby. Who doesn't love a kitty that identifies as a dog?

Definitely recommend the book. Love the characters, story and writing style. I enjoyed how the book alternated between Poppy and Joel. I want to be friends with everyone in the book. Can't wait to see what happens next for everyone. Hopefully there's more books in the series. Look forward to reading more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Boldwood Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book is adorable. I fell in love with Poppy and Joel from the beginning, and I wasn't sure how they'd end up together, but I just knew they would. They clicked immediately and it was just so cute. Joel's daughter, Imogen, was a gem. I loved that she clicked with Poppy from the start, and, that isn't always an easy thing to do, but Imogen just knew that she wanted her Dad to be happy and Poppy was going to be the one who made that happen.

Poppy's Dad was suffering with Alzheimer's and I felt that this subject was sensitively dealt with and researched thoroughly. Thankfully, no one I know has had to go through this terrible disease, but I know a lot more about it now than I did previously.

Jessica loves to bring her characters, from other books, into her current read and I adore this. It's like saying hello to old friends, finding out what they're up to now, and what's happened since we last met. All like one big happy family! I can't wait for Jessica's next book!

I'm reviewing this via NetGalley, as part of a tour with Rachel's Random Resources.

This book is part of the Bumblebee Barn Collection. I've enjoyed all the other books that I've read and reviewed by this author, so I was looking forward to this one as well.

At the beginning, both of the protagonists, Joel and Poppy, struck me as likeable characters, and as I got to know more about them, I found that something about both of them went to my heart. All Joel wanted was to spend more time with his daughter, Imogen, but his controlling ex was doing everything in her power to prevent that. Poppy cherished every moment with her dad, but Alzheimer's meant that he no longer recognised her. I connected with both characters, and found the story to be a little bit of a tearjerker in that respect.

As I carried on reading, I found that the tearjerker moments continued, but there were also many heartwarming moments that made me smile. I felt at home in the Yorkshire setting, and I enjoy how the author always takes the reader on an emotional journey with the characters.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel's Random Resources, Boldwood Books, and to the author, for the opportunity to read and review this.

After caring for her mother before her untimely death, Poppy is now living alone in her parents’ house – her father’s dementia has resulted in him moving into a rather lovely nursing home, into a room overlooking the garden where he can watch his beloved birds. The house doesn’t feel like home, and she’s thinking of moving to somewhere nearer to him – it’d make the daily visits rather easier. And she’d be closer to her bee hives too – an accountant who works from home, she’s also a beekeeper, a skill she learned from her father. He may not recognise her any more – she can’t even call him “dad”, because it confuses him too much – but she really feels the need to spend time with him while she still can.

With other issues beginning to cause more problems in her life, friends encourage her to take a bit of a break – and that’s how she ends up at Whisperwood Farmhouse, just a short distance away from Bumblebee Farm. She finds friendships there – drawn into the preparations for Amber’s wedding – and finds real solace in the beautiful setting. And, rather unexpectedly, the beginnings of a new relationship – Joel’s been desperately unlucky in love, but the most important part of his life is being the best father he can be to his young daughter Imogen, despite the unsociable hours he needs to work and every obstacle set in his path by his ex-wife. With Poppy’s time at Whisperwood drawing to an end, it’s time to return to her former life on the other side of the country, leaving her new friends and Joel behind – but, despite all the many difficulties, love does has a tendency to find a way.

As always, the author’s emotional touch is just totally perfect. Having lost my own mum to dementia and similarly struggling with the visiting dilemma, I just wish someone had taken me aside with the same common sense advice – but I also identified really strongly with Poppy’s sense of guilt. The new friendships she finds through Bumblebee Farm are particularly heartwarming (although so are her existing ones), with the way she’s embraced and drawn into the new community – and her developing romance with Joel felt particularly real, and very special. Another relationship I enjoyed was her ongoing closeness to her ex-husband, now a supportive friend – good to see that can be possible. And I really did feel for Joel – his story told from his own viewpoint, and he’s such a lovely man – as he struggled to find a solution to his own problems.

As anyone who’s read the earlier books – not essential to your enjoyment – will know, there are strong links between Bumblebee Farm and Hedgehog Hollow: it was a particular treat to see some of those old friends once more and find some ongoing storylines brought to a perfect close. And with both Joel and Poppy facing fresh starts and a happier future, it’s the perfect note on which to leave this lovely short series – and it’s certainly been a real personal favourite. Very much recommended – this was a book I thoroughly enjoyed.

I absolutely loved this book and thought it was the perfect read to curl up with. The story is part of a series and I went into this not having read any of the previous ones, but I didn't think this mattered.
All of the characters in the book were just perfect and so supporting of each other, I loved getting to know them all. Joel was such a gentleman, who treated Poppy how she should be treated and he was an amazing dad to Imogen. My heart went out to him in his circumstances, but the ending for him was lovely. Poppy was such a brave and strong character and she really went through so much. I was so emotional for her throughout the story, but you could see her character development and the strength she gained throughout and I loved how the story developed for her, as she truly deserved it.
The story touched on quite a few important topics, such as grief, dementia, stalking and custody battles and all of these topics were written well and with consideration and you could tell that research and thought had gone into them for the story.
The settings of the book were so perfect that I could almost picture myself sitting on the bench in the field with the sun shining and the bees buzzing.
This was just the ideal comfort read and I can't wait to read more from Jessica soon.

Book Review: A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft by Jessica Redland

The final installment of Jessica Redland’s Bumblebee Barn series, A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft, offers a heartwarming and emotional conclusion to a beloved collection of stories. Redland once again delivers a narrative that is rich in emotion, family dynamics, and the kind of uplifting romance that fans of her work have come to adore.

At the heart of this story are two incredibly relatable characters—single dad Joel Grainger and Poppy Wells—each facing personal struggles that feel raw and real. Joel is a devoted father to his young daughter, Imogen, but the pressures of single parenthood and his professional uncertainties have begun to take a toll. Meanwhile, Poppy is grappling with the heartbreak of her father’s dementia diagnosis and is in desperate need of a break. When she is given the opportunity to stay at the picturesque Whisperwood Farmhouse near Bumblebee Barn, she begins to heal, but the weight of her responsibilities to her father lingers.

The connection between Joel and Poppy is instant and undeniable, but both are at crossroads in their lives. Their relationship is fraught with uncertainty, and the question of whether they can overcome their challenges to find a future together provides the perfect amount of tension. Their emotional journeys are beautifully explored, and Redland does an excellent job of balancing the delicate themes of family, love, and personal growth.

What makes this book stand out is the atmosphere Redland creates—Whisperwood Farmhouse, the Yorkshire Wolds, and Bumblebee Barn are all settings that feel like characters in their own right. The countryside’s beauty and serenity serve as the perfect backdrop to the couple’s journey of self-discovery and healing.

Redland’s writing continues to shine with its sensitivity to difficult topics, particularly the emotional toll of caring for a loved one with dementia. The way she weaves these themes into the narrative without overwhelming the reader is masterful. The story is emotionally rich but also filled with hope, as Redland reminds readers that it’s never too late to find happiness and love, no matter the struggles you face.

As the conclusion to the Bumblebee Barn series, A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft is a perfect ending, filled with moments of joy, healing, and the promise of new beginnings. Fans of Redland’s work will find this book to be a satisfying, heartwarming conclusion, and new readers will no doubt be drawn into the charm of her writing.

Rating: 5/5
A beautifully written, emotional, and uplifting story that perfectly encapsulates the themes of love, healing, and hope. A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft is a must-read for fans of Jessica Redland and anyone seeking a heartfelt escape.

A really good final instalment in the Bumblebee Barn spin off series (from the ever popular Hedgehog Hollow series). I really enjoyed the book, as I expected to. Jessica's first person style is engaging and warm. As ever she doesn't shy away from difficult topics and experiences in the life of the characters, which make the books all the more real.

Joel, as Barney's best friend, has featured in the other books in this series,so I was looking forward to reading his story.

He is such a great character, kind, caring and loyal but unlucky in love. He is struggling as his job is under threat and he doesn't have an easy time with his ex when it comes to parenting his daughter.

I adored Poppy. She is struggling after losing her mum and now with her Dad's dementia diagnosis and my heart went out to her. I felt the author tackled this in a delicate manner.

I thought both Joel and Poppy were right for one another but their individual circumstances made it difficult for them.

The addition of the characters from previous books was great, as there are some great personalities and I felt added to the storyline.

I felt it was a very heartwarming and emotional read but there are plenty fun and light hearted moments which balance it out.

I'm sorry this is the end of the series but what a way to finish it. Well done Jessica, you've done it again.

Facing life apart leads to many difficult decisions.
Bringing together all the past family and friends for one last time this book is the perfect end to a fantastic series.
Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Books for a ARC of this book.

A Forever Home at Honey Bee Croft is Book 3 in the Bumblebee Barn series. I have read and loved both the earlier ones and I always look forward to the next book, especially as Jessica Redland is my favourite author. It’s always great to catch up with some of the characters from the previous books too and the much-loved Hedgehog Hollow Wildlife Rescue Centre.
Joel and Poppy are the main characters in this book. Joel Grainger is 33 and a single dad to Imogen, who is 8. However, he wants to spend more time with her, but his ex Tilly isn’t always helpful.
His best friend is Barney who runs Bumblebee Barn. (You’ll know him from the previous books.) Joel has a younger brother (Chez) Chester, who is 19 and has depression. He has an on/off relationship with Lorna. It’s just Joel and Chez now, after their parents moved to Portugal a couple of years earlier.
Joel is fed up of his single status and choosing the wrong women, especially as all his friends seem to be getting married.
Poppy Wells is 32 and single. She works from home as a freelance accountant, which means she often feels lonely, though she does look after next door’s dog often. She is also a beekeeper for Saltersbeck Farm – a job her dad had previously done – which means weekly visits to the hives. She now lives alone in Dove Cottage, after her Mum died five years before and her almost ninety-year-old dad (a retired journalist, like my dad!) is now in a care home with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.
Jessica’s books always have wonderfully unique but completely authentic characters. No character is ever wasted, even the minor ones are beautifully drawn. In this book, I adored Poppy’s next door neighbour Wilf (82) and his gorgeous Yorkshire terrier called Benji.
The pace of her books is also perfect too. Although they are big novels, they are easy to read because you get into them quickly and want to find out what happens to the characters. The sizes of the chapters are very good too.
I also always enjoy the settings and here, the farm is probably my favourite location with its idyllic views and all the animals. As you absorb the sights, sounds and smells of the countryside, it feels like you are having a break there, breathing in the fresh air and looking out over the hills and fields.
I love that I always learn something from Jessica’s books too. This time, I found out some fascinating information about bees and hives. She also covers such important topics and this novel is no different with themes about depression, Alzheimer’s and loneliness. While there are sad bits in the story, the tone of the book remains positive and uplifting and her books are ones you always come away from feeling better about the world.

A Forever Home at Honeybee Croft by Jessica Redland is set in the Yorkshire Wolds and is linked to the hedgehog hollow and Bumblebee Barn series.

I have really enjoyed the Yorkshire Wolds books, and sadly, this is the final one. This time, we focus on Joel, Barney from Bumblebee Barn's best friend, and a new character, Poppy, who enters Joel's life as a visitor to the area. Written in alternating chapters from the POV of Joel and Poppy, we delve deeper into Joel's life with his daughter Imogen and the difficult relationship he has with his ex, Imogen's mum Tilly. Poppy has a lot going on in her life with her Dad's illness and other personal issues, but her spur of the moment trip to Yorkshire gives her a new sense of home and hope for the future. I really enjoyed the way Joel's and Poppy's stories unfolded and intertwined. There was a lot to keep the pages turning on both sides, with illness, bereavement, stalking, custody battles, and blossoming friendships. There is always something warm and wholesome about a Jessica Redland novel, with a huge comfort feeling, even when difficult topics are covered. I love the way that we get to revisit characters from the other books and get to know previous side characters in more detail. Another success from Jessica Redland, and whilst it's sad that the Yorkshire series has ended, I am looking forward to her revisiting the Lakes and Whitsborough Bay.

This is a heartwarming conclusion to the Bumblebee Barn series, focusing on the love story of Poppy and Joel. Joel, a kind and persistent romantic, is finally at the center of the narrative as he sets his sights on Poppy, a woman grappling with the emotional challenges of her father’s dementia. Their relationship begins with a charming meet-cute and evolves into a deep connection, as they support each other through personal struggles.

Poppy’s story offers a heartfelt and relatable depiction of dealing with dementia in the family. Redland addresses this difficult topic with sensitivity, portraying the guilt, heartbreak, and exhaustion of caregiving while offering comfort and hope. The beekeeping aspect adds a unique layer, symbolizing Poppy’s bond with her father and her journey to healing.

The book ties up loose ends from the series beautifully, incorporating weddings and nods to characters from Redland’s beloved Hedgehog Hollow series. With a perfect balance of romance, emotional depth, and charm, this final installment is a touching celebration of resilience, love, and the importance of finding home—in every sense of the word.

It's always a pleasure to read this author's books; the characters are relatably human, there are often lovely companion animals, and the characters' dilemmas are relevant and take the reader on an emotional journey. This last book in The Bumble Bee Barn Collection encompasses all these qualities. It is primarily Poppy and Joel's story, but other characters from previous books are also featured, which is welcoming to regular readers. The quality of the characters and writing make this an immersive reading experience. Even when the subjects are challenging and the outcomes frustrating or sad, the reader is invested and trusts that a positive result will ensue. It's an emotional and engaging read that is ultimately satisfying and uplifting.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW

Review for 'A Forever Home At Honey Bee Croft' by Jessica Redland.

This is the third book in Jessica's 'The Bumblebee Barn Collection ' but can be read as a standalone.

OMG!!! I absolutely LOVED this gorgeous page turner!! Yet another brilliant page turner by Jessica Redland. I have read several books by this fantastic author and as always this book does not disappoint!!! Before I go any further I do need to let readers know that there are several difficult topics mentioned throughout the storyline that an be upsetting for some readers and/or unsuitable for others. Some of these topics include dementia, loss and mental health. I always feel it is important to mention any topics that readers may struggle with at the beginning of my review. Jessica manages to weave these difficult topics into a beautiful story while taking the utmost care to be as sensitive as possible in regards to these subjects. I won't go into the details of they storyline as the synopsis does a perfectly beautiful job of telling you all about it so if you want to know more you will have to grab your copy of this stunning page turner to find out for yourselves!!! I can promise that you will not regret it!! With a storyline ram packed with stunning surroundings, memorable characters, heartache ,romance, second chances, family and so much more than you could ask for what are you waiting for? I mean, let's be fair here, how can you when it is a Jessica Redland book?? Any books that revolve around animals is a HUGE bonus for me!!! I am a MASSIVE animal lover and all my pets have been rescues to then volunteering in rescues, working in rescues and now running my own little cat rescue (Golden Oldies Cat Rescue And Hospice which you can look up on Facebook if you are interested) so this book was a huge must read for me immediately!!! I really did absolutely love this unique, stunning page turner from the first page to the very last and cannot wait to get my hands on more books by this amazing author! Jessica's excellent writing skills and evocative descriptions drops the reader straight into the middle of Joel and Poppy's lifes in the stunning Yorkshire Wolds. I was absolutely hooked throughout and could not put this down. I told myself time and time again I would just finish the chapter and then go to bed but something happened each and every time meaning I just had to read just one more, and then another until before I knew it I had completely devoured the book in one sitting. I genuinely felt like I had gone on holiday to Bumble Bee Farm and The Yorkshire Wolds and was devastated to come to the end of my holiday, returning back to reality and having to 'unpack my suitcase'!! It really is just amazing and I absolutely love it and I really cannot compliment this book enough!!! It is one of those books that are very easy to read and perfect for any reading situations whether you are laying on a beach or curled up in front of a fire. It really does not matter where or when you read these as Jessica will transport you into the story at the turn of a page. It is an absolutely ideal read for anyone who is looking for a gorgeous and relaxing read that will have you hooked from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVED the realism of this storyline which made it so easy to picture everything that was going on which had been helped by Jessica's fantastic evocative writing skills. I cannot wait to get hooked into more of Jessica's books. This is definitely one of those books that will turn a frown upside down and make life seem a lot brighter. It is the perfect ending to the stunning series and although I am sad to say goodbye I know it won't be long before Jessica comes up with another series just as beautiful and addictive. It is packed with fun, laughter, animals, romance, friendships, a huge breathe of fresh air and everything you could ask for in a fantastic feel good book.

Well done Jessica on yet another absolutely stunning book that I fell in love with!!!

Although this is the third book in Jessica's ''The Bumblebee Barn Collection ' I would have had absolutely no problems reading it without any of the others. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader. The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I was completely invested in them all. It also makes them more realistic, believable and made me feel even more for them than I normally would. They all worked perfectly together to make this a stunning storyline. Each of the characters and animals are memorable and unique in their own ways and they are a group that I wont be forgetting any time soon!

Pick up this book and get lost in this absolutely gorgeous page turner! Congratulations Jessica on yet another absolutely stunning read that I just could not put down!!! I am looking forward to reading more of your previous and future books. I would absolutely love to see this book turned into a movie!!! This is the exact reason you are on my favourite author list and here's to your next success 🥂

Overall an unputdownable, gorgeous, STUNNING page turning book filled with second chances, family, animals, romance, fun, laughter, friendship and so much more!! A perfectly relaxing and stunning unique read!!!!

The final book in the Bumblebee Barn series, but could also be read as a standalone book.
I have really enjoyed this series but this final book was another level , fantastic reading!
Relatable characters - Poppy and Joel’s stories this time., plus a final catch up with all the past characters.
A wonderful storyline which kept the reader entertained and had them rooting for Poppy and Joel from the start. Sensitive subjects were sympathetically handled.
I absolutely loved it and I didn’t want it to end. I would definitely reread this series in the future.
Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Jessica for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review
