The third part of this series begins seamlessly where the last one ended and the characters are so memorable it is easy to fall back into the story. In this episode Sam finds herself getting to know Ruby, Joe’s daughter, after she comes to the surgery distressed. This leads to Sam learning some truths about Joe’s life and the reason for his prickly moods. She also gets a visit from Claire, who proves to be a terrible friend, and her mum who has her own ideas about her grandchild’s future.
There’s plenty of drama going on in Hope Green, and we leave it on another cliff-hanger. This is a smashing little series, gentle and warm with an idyllic village setting. I love the focus on the vets practice and animals that feature in the story. It is a breath of fresh air and thoroughly enjoyable.
A lovely short story that is part of a longer novel but can be enjoyed in its own right.
Dorset small town, countryside vet and dog walkers. But with the heroine being a single mum-to-be and a young mother ill it's not all rose-tinted cottages and sugary romance. There really is genuine current day issues along with the will-they/won't they romance. A lovely romance novel with a bit of a bite to enjoy on a wet Sunday afternoon curled up on the sofa.
I loved the third instalment of the Vets at Hope Green. This follows Sam as her pregnancy progresses and the relationships with her friend David and boss Joe develop.
Like the previous two parts, part three is very enjoyable and well written and it was a lovely Sunday afternoon read.
Thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK Ebury Publishing and Sheila Norton for the chance to review.
The Vets At Hope Green part three by Sheila Norton continues the story and is so delightful. I am hanging on to every word.
Life in the country is idyllic compared with the hustle and bustle of London. The village has its own set of unique personalities. It all makes for delightful reading.
The setting and animals are a huge part of the story. I really 'felt' immersed in village life.
Part three ended with a cliff hanger. I am clinging on by my nails to hear what happens next.
So delightful.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
Sam is settling into life and her unexpected pregnancy, but she is trying her hardest to hide it from her crotchety boss, Joe.
Joe seems to be hiding something and when a chance encounter at some stables, Sam begins to see a different side to this man, but his secrets still remain hidden. It begins to remind Sam of something she is trying to forget, another secret no one knows about.
Sam might well be able to hide some secrets, but her past she left behind in London, returns with some rather unwelcome news.
As this part closes, there is a shock and it seems that everything at Hope Green is going to change.
I am looking forward to reading the final part.
Well little Sam may have believed that she was an experienced veterinary receptionist that could confidently give an hand when needed but giving an hand in a warm surgery and being full blown up to your elbows in it on a farm are two quite different things and Sam is loving every minute. The more involved she is the more she is determined to take control of her own destiny. That includes facing the demons from her own past if she is to survive country life, and keep the job she loves.
Part three is definitely a book of secrets and betrayal for both Sam and Joe. With one thing for sure, relationships, both old and new will never be the same again. Sheila Norton has breathed life into the characters of Hope Green, making a fun filled cosy read that tackles some very delicate subjects. It all fits together beautifully to make an exciting and at times emotional journey.
There are some really hard times ahead for the people of Hope Green but also new life too.

Oh my what a place to end... Part 4 can't come quick enough!!
Reading part three of this story as provided by Netgalley was like meeting up with an old friend. Sheila Norton writes with such a relaxed easy to read format that it is always with dismay that I come to the end of each installment. Village life is a bit cliched, then who doesn't like a bit of escapism, but the characters are well defined and recognisable. I cannot wait for part four.
I was very excited for part 3 as part 2 had ended on a massive cliffhanger, so I needed to find out what happened next, and boy does part 3 live up to expectations.
In part 3 we see what happens with Sam and the baby, and we also find out a lot more about mysterious Joe the vet and get an insight into his life.
Again part 3 ends with another cliffhanger and I am dieing to get my hands on part 4.
Another 5 stars for this fantastic series.
I have been greatly enjoying this adorable series. Hope Green seems like a lovely place to live and I want to be friends with every character in the book, even grumpy Mr. Vicious Vet. Looking forward to more in this series.
