I’m a self confessed Jessica Redland Stan!
This was definitely my favourite in the Hedgehog Hollow series.
I feel Jessica really went into extra time with this book and she added new characters for us to fall in love with.
Desperately waiting for more

This is book 4 in the series and it was great to meet Samantha and Joshua again. I missed their story and adore them. They are match made in heaven, people who complet each other in every way. This book is not just their romance but so much more.
"You can't help someone is they won't help themselves, so try not to let it eat away at you."
An appreciative and unique thing about Jessica Redland's work is though it is about Sam, she has involved stories of different people in each of her books and their POVs and the impact their lives have by Sam being in it. I love this so much and this is the same in current story which has Phoebe in it. Phoebe is strong, I mean mentally and emotionally but seeing what she goes through and made her so breaks my heart. Whatever she goes through is so wrong and unfair.
My all time favourite ~ "The fragrance stays in the hand that gives the rose."
Sam's mom, what a tremendous growth and change in her behaviour from when we met her first. She was someone whom you would never want in your life but she has come a long way and I have started warming upto her. She had her reasons and like Sam we should have faith and hope.
Chloe is showing improvement but gets back to her older self which caused Sam PTSD and standing up to her is what I was expecting Sam to do long back. I am glad she showed her how it was affecting Sam's health.
This story has everything from family, friends, love, hope, pain, hurt, founded family and close knit community. Ofcourse! How can I forget the cute hedgehogs who make it beautiful. This shows us how showing little love to someone can light up their world and how standing up for oneself is important. My favourite character from this book was sweet Hayley.
Jessica Redland is one of my favourites and her books are not just romance but each one has a learning that I look forward to, a way of life and people around us. Everything about her characters and story is realistic which makes them relatable to great extent.
Like all her books, I loved this one too. I highly recommend it to everyone.
