Title: A New Dawn at Owls' Lodge
Could one chance meeting change your life forever?
Zara is at a crossroads in life. While she adores her job as a producer's assistant working on hit TV shows, travelling around the country means she doesn't truly feel that she has a home. With a fractured relationship with her family and unrequited love weighing heavily on her heart, she is torn about what her next step in life should be...
Snowy is hiding from the world. He's devoted his life to home schooling his young son and caring for sick owls at his home, Owl's Lodge, deep in the Yorkshire Wolds countryside. While he's passionate about both, it's a lonely existence and he's starting to question his decisions. But how do you step back into a world you've pushed away for years...?
When Zara brings an injured owl to Owl's Lodge, its frosty, reclusive owner is far from welcoming. Despite hostilities, there's a connection that neither could ever have prepared themselves for. As they discover a shared passion, a new friendship blossoms, but both Zara and Snowy are used to shutting people out.
Can they both find the courage to open up and the strength to move on from their pasts? And what could this mean for their future happiness?
Escape to the world of Bumblebee Barn and Hedgehog Hollow with MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Jessica Redland for this brand new feel-good romance of family, friendship and hope.
I love, Love, LOVED this book so so much! I have no words to describe how totally awesome it is.
i mean it's back within the world of Hedgehog Hollow and Bumblebee Barn, but totally reads as a standalone, as the focus is on all new characters. But for the Jessica Redland mega fans amongst us, it has so many familiar faces that you won't be able to stop smiling.
Well apart from when you are reading the far more serious in tone back stories especially for Snowy. Snowy intrigued me from the start, and I loved finding out every little detail about him and his family. Not to mention the gymnastics he is involved in, and of course the Owl Rescue he runs.
I loved reading all about the various types of Owl in the UK, and seeing the work Snowy, his son Harrison and grandpa Eddie do at the rescue. But he is rather reclusive, until Zara steps into his life with an injured owl.
Zara is Amber's assistant and has a troubled relationship with her family. She is clearly an animal lover, and is loving the fact that she has a room of her own at Bumblebee Barn
I am convinced by this point that the author isn't just a hedgehog lover but a lover of all Wildlife as I fell for the owls in the same way I fell in the past for the hedgehogs. She is doing wonders for the awareness of wildlife rescue up and down the UK, and should be commended for it, just from including the various animals into her books.
I really hope that there will be more books set in this part of the Yorkshire Wolds as I am enjoying them so much. And I just want to see more animals too!
A wonderful story of rediscovering the world around you, and of a very sweet romance between two incredibly well suited people.
Tough topics are dealt with sensitively and this is ultimately a heartwarming wonderful story. More please!
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
Thank you so much for your amazing review, Rachel. Really made my day. And, yes, I do absolutely adore animals and can't resist including them in my stories
