Together Again at the Cornish Country Hospital features one of my favourite nurses from the series Amy who is not looking for love but when her first and only real love Lijah comes back to town will it be a happy ever after or will he be the one that got away? We also have some things happening in other characters stories Gwen is facing a medical issue and Aiden and Jase are awaiting the arrival of their baby but will there be any hiccups or will it be smooth sailing? After every one of these books I say this one is my favourite and I am going to say it again this book is my favourite of the series. There is romance, family trouble, medical problems, cute dogs, cute men young and old! Most of all I felt excited for what was too come and that excitement didn't diminish until long after I had read the last page. I enjoyed every word!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

It was great to be back with the characters in Port Kara.

Amy is happy with the way she’s living her life, she loves her job, has great friends and her family. But, the one thing she doesn’t have in her life is Love. She’s never forgotten the person she loved ages ago, and that is Lijah Byrne.

He is a well known singer who has women wanting his attention. But, the Lijah isn’t who Amy thinks of, she thinks is of him when he was shy, and the boy she fell in love with.

Lijah decides to take some time away from being on the public eye and knows that Port Kara is the only place where he can relax.

So when they both meet for the first time in ages, the connection is still there between them, but time and distance has changed them both.

Amy is afraid, she’s already had her heartbroken, so is she prepared to have it broken again?

I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to boldwood books, Netgalley, & Jo Bartlett for the e-arc. This is a sweet story. I like the fact that there's a nurse in the book. I liked Monty the dog also. There's a happy ending.

Amy Spencer is happy with her life in Port Kara. She has a good and fulfilling job as an A&E Nurse, she has good friends and family. The only thing lacking is her love life. Amy has never seemed able to get over her first love, Lijah Byrne. Lijah is now a famous singer who has women falling over themselves for his attention, but Amy remembers the shy, sensitive boy she gave her heart to.
When Lijah needs some time away from the spotlight, he knows the only place he will find peace is Port Kara, where he grew up.
When Amy and Lijah bump into each other, it’s clear the spark is still there, but they have both changed. And Amy is scared, she had her heartbroken once, is she willing to take the risk again?
Can be read as a stand-alone or with the series. I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series but that didn’t stop me enjoying this one. There are enough catch ups in the story, so you get to know why characters are where they are now. However, it did make me want to go back to the start and read the others because I wanted to know the other characters as well as I did those in this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I have previously read the Cornish midwife books so it was nice to come back to the same hospital and some of the same characters. Lijah is a pop star and Amy is a nurse. The story follows them reconnecting as well as their friends . I will definitely continue reading book within this series.

Thank you to @rachelsrandomresources for inviting us onto this tour.

I love @jobartlett books and the cornish Country hospital series is lovely you don't need to read them in order but it does help.

This time it's the turn of Amy and elijah who are old friends who were going out but he had dreams of becoming a musician and he had the opportunity to go to London to follow that dream so Amy let him go but now years later his mum has died and he is finally returning to see if he can get writing his music again has he moved on from Amy or is the love still here.

I loved returning to the country hospital and seeing old faces again such as Aidan and gwen. Everyone could tell that Amy and elijah are still in love it's just making them realise they are and giving each other a chance to see where they can go in the future. It's such a cosy read and so easy to get into. Can't wait for our next trip back.

In this instalment we meet Amy, who is a nurse at St Piran’s Hospital in Port Kara. She’s happy but she also knows there’s something missing from her life, mainly the one that got away, Lijah who left Port Kara ten years previously to pursue his music career. But he’s back! How do they both navigate this?

Oh my Jo has done it again. I loved being back in Port Kara, with familiar characters and new ones too. It wasn’t just Amy’s story that was being told we also had a backstory from the infamous Gwen too.

I adored Amy and Lijah’s chemistry from the beginning. I found myself kicking my legs as they got to know each other again. But nothing runs smoothly and I’m glad Jo portrayed this in her story.

I highly recommend you read ‘Together Again at the Cornish Country Hospital’ which is full of firm friendships, love that stands the test of time and most of all a sense of amazing community! 🥰♥️

I can’t wait to read more of anything that Jo writes in the future. I am so grateful to Jo for once again adding me to her acknowledgments of the book too 🥹

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I feel absolutely terrible saying this because I am a big Jo Bartlett fan, but I thought this book was just so-so. There is nothing wrong with it, the characters are those we have met in previous books (with the exception of Lijah) and there were lots of the heartful moments you come to expect from this series. I just did not find myself especially invested in Amy and Lijah's story/romance. It was kind of a been-there-done-that kind of plot and there was nothing really all that new here. I may have been more on-board with it had at least part of the story been about her getting counseling/therapy to deal with her insecurities (most likely brought on by her jackass brother). I also thought her brother's disappearance was a little too much and his personality change at the end way to quick considering how long he had been that awful. I'm glad that Amy got her happy ending, but I did not totally believe how it all came to pass. As for Gwen's storyline here I am still not sure how I feel about it. I love Gwen and obviously am glad that she was not demonstrating early signs of dementia, but part of me thinks that her eventual diagnosis was a bit of a cop out to avoid having a beloved character suffer while still getting readers emotionally invested. As I said, I usually love Jo Bartlett's books but even the best authors have to put out the occasional underwhelming book.

I can't work out whether I want to cheer that we finally get Gwen as a leading lady of one of Jo Bartlett's book, or whether I want to berate the poor author for just what she put Gwen through during this book.

For Gwen is easily one of my favourite fictional characters in recent years, she has been a tonic in all of these 3 Ports area medical romances, and is utterly fabulous, so to see her suddenly having health issues was upsetting.

But it is a storyline that is told sensitively and I feel like this won't be the last we see of St Piran's matriarch.

And the other focus of this book was Amy's story and romance with old flame Lijah who just happens to be back in town. They are nowadays worlds apart and Amy is not sure whether she can dare fall for him once again.

We also get to catch up with the rest of the regular characters from the series and there were definitely some heart in mouth moments of drama.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and am already eager to hopefully read the next book in the series, assuming there is one, or whatever else Jo Bartlett writes next! I love this author and her setting and can never get enough of it.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Another instalment with the characters we love at St Pirans.

In this book Lijah Byrne returns to Port Kara, as a successful musician and the ex boyfriend of Amy an A&E nurse.

Hearts flutter and memories resurface, but will they get a second chance at love?

Another beautiful story in this series!

Together again at the Cornish Hospital was another great read. Cozy and familiar, with lots of recurring characters. Although it works fine as a read alone book too. Lighthearted and an easy read, which is just what you need sometimes!

Jo Barlett is back with another story about St Piran and this time it's Amy and Lijah. Amy, she needs a good shake and some what of a attitude adjustment. I began to really dislike her.

Lijah, I loved him but I thought he needed to grow a spine and stop Amy pushing him around. The story got boring after a while and for the first time ever I thought it went on too long.

Gwen I'm glad she is okay. It's impossible not to like Gwen and love her story. Love seeing the other characters too and seeing what they've been up to. Does Adrian finally get his dream?

I hope book 7 is back to Jo at her very best.

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of the book in exchange for a review.

Back to St Piran's to meet up with old and new friends. A nice cosy, enjoyable read.

I've read each of the books in this series and enjoyed them. For some reason, this one took me a bit more time to get through, it just wasn't capturing my attention as well as the previous books. Nothing wrong with it, just a bit slower.

Amy has always suffered a lack of self-confidence, viewed as unwarranted by her many friends and her close family (brother withstanding). She's a dedicated nurse now, but in her teen years, she was Lijah's girlfriend. Both of them thought they would grow old together, but when Lijah's musical aspirations took him away, she let him go, thinking she'd never be enough.

As the title suggests, Lijah finds his way back to Port Kara for a break from the spotlight, and runs into Amy. While others around them think this is their second chance, Amy's not sure. Do they have what it takes to make it?

I enjoyed seeing many of the same characters from the prior books, it is like they are all one big happy family. It is a good series to read in order, gives you a good background on each character.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Back to Port Kara for another visit.
Amy loves her job and her friends but there is always something missing, no special person in her life and it all stems from the one that got away. Lijah Byrne.
Lijah left Port Kara when his music career took off leaving behind the one girl he ever felt anything for.
They both meet up when Lijah comes home to settle himself he hasn’t been the same since his mother passed away.
Brilliant to be back to visit all the gang and catch up with what they’ve been doing. Love this series and can’t wait for future visits.

Nice book, quite predictable and similar to the rest of this author’s books but I enjoyed it all the same.
I did get quite annoyed with Amy at times though - her attitude didn’t always sit well with me.
Overall I’d recommend this book and have a read of some of the other books in the series, you won’t be disappointed.

I think I have now read most if not all of the books written by Jo Bartlett and this novel was like sinking into a comfortable armchair with friends.

My only complaint is that I read it too fast as I was enjoying it so much. Loved catching up with characters from the previous books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed the story centred around musician Lijah and nurse Amy.

Jo Bartlett had a way of making her characters realistic and thoroughly human with their insecurities and problems whilst trying to achieve their dreams.

I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series.

This return to old friends focused on the potential health issues of then older woman as well as visiting the normal hospital issues - a cozy read.

Another instalment of the Cornish Country Hospital. This time Any is the main focus although other characters like Gwen, Aidan and the others we’ve met who work at the hospital still feature. Can a Nurse lead a normal life with a pop star? Amy tries and there are many ups and downs. Thanks to Jo and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley

Thanks to Netgalley & Boldwood Books for the
E-ARC! Another cute read in this series. Cozy vibes & fun characters. New fav series.
