Blog Tour: Healing Hearts at Bumblebee Barn

Review: 5 out of 5 stars

I was so excited to read the first book in Jessica Redland’s new series. I loved the Hedgehog Hollow series (not to mention all her other books), so the start of a new series is definitely something to celebrate!

The characters were great. I loved Barney. He’s such a lovely man, who works hard and cares about people. I also really like Amber, and the way she’s there for her sister (among other people). And of course I enjoyed seeing some cameos from Hedgehog Hollow characters too!

I love the setting. Like Amber, I feel at home on farms (one side of my family has a number of farmers), so Bumblebee Barn felt like home immediately. I adore the bumblebee watercolour at the top of each chapter, and the cover is beautiful too.

The plot was a lovely one. Jessica Redland writes really well, and has a great way of conveying the characters emotions, and making it easy to connect with them. The story was absorbing and kept my attention (something I’ve been finding difficult recently), right from page one.

Overall, this was a wonderful and heartwarming story. And my favourite Jessica Redland so far (I’ve said that before, but she just keeps writing better and better). I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series.

I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Blurb:

Welcome to Bumblebee Barn, home to wonderful animals, stunning views and spectacular sunsets - and resident young farmer, Barney.

While Barney loves his life at Bumblebee Barn - a farm that has been in his family for generations - he's struggling to find someone to share it with. The early mornings quad biking through muddy fields and the long hours looking after the crops and animals are proving to be a deterrent to finding love.

So when his sister, Fizz - desperate for Barney to find his soulmate - sees an advert for Love on a Farm, a new reality TV show to help farmers find love, he has nothing to lose by applying. Afterall, he isn't meeting anyone suitable down the traditional route and surely he won't be picked anyway...?

Thrown into the chaos of reality TV, Barney could never have expected that his whole life would be turned upside down, with buried secrets to be uncovered and his heart on the line. With his family and friends rooting for him, could the magic of Bumblebee Barn heal his broken heart and help him find love on the farm?
