With new arrivals comes new responsibilities...

The sun is shining, wild flowers are blooming and Hedgehog Hollow is officially open for business.

For Samantha, the proud owner of this beautiful rescue centre, life has never been busier. But with an influx of new hogs and hoglets to take care of, not to mention a full-time job and ongoing family issues, can she accept the possibility that she has taken on more than she can handle?

Fortunately, she has the love of her life, Josh, by her side for support and encouragement. But Josh has his own family troubles to deal with. And soon he must decide if he's ready to do the one thing he swore he’d never do - forgive his father.

For both Samantha and Josh it's a season of change and for figuring out whether the past can ever truly be forgotten.

Escape back to wonderful Hedgehog Hollow with top 10 bestseller Jessica Redland for the perfect uplifting read full of love, hope and forgiveness.

Hedgehog Hollow is up and running and wow there are hedgehogs,.  If I thought there were hedgehogs in the previous book, then that is nothing compared with this one.  They all sounded so cute, and I loved seeing Sammie and Josh taking care of them all, and I think I have learnt a lot about them too. 

Hoglets are a lot of work, more so than human babies, but without a rescue, if their mum isn't about then they stand no chance at all, and even if you do try to rescue them the survival rate still isn't fabulous but any surviving is better than none. 

It's not all hedgehogs though, there is a great deal of messy family situations to deal with too.  As we learnt in the first book of the series neither Sammie nor Josh have had the best time of it recently with various family members and these storylines are continued into this book. 

It is a lot to get your head around but the actions that Sammie especially takes shows just what a big hearted, amazing person she really is, even while struggling with her own issues. 

I loved that the book was written in alternating POVs from both Sammie and Josh, so we could get to know them very quickly and thoroughly. 

I loved that it was a direct continuation from the previous Hedgehog Hollow book, as it's always good to have really familiar characters from the off.  And the amount of stuff both Sammie and Josh go through in this book, is phenomenal and you can't help but really feel for them. 

It's a fantastic addition to this series and all I can say is that I want more from Hedgehog Hollow and I really don't want to have to wait! 

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