This probably goes without saying but I had better say it anyway - 'A Budding Romance' IS part of a series, and because the novellas follow simultaneously, each of the books need to be read in order otherwise you'd end up missing out on some of the storyline. 



We left the last instalment on a cliffhanger. Obviously I won't tell you what that cliffhanger entailed, but trust me when I say that it was enough to read part two straight away. I just couldn't wait to find out where the storyline was heading in regards to Sophie's frustration and Anna's annoyance. Don't worry though, it doesn't have a negative vibe at all, it's just that when Anna's ex appears at a place she feels herself, she can't help feeling a bit miffed. Why won't he just leave her alone? Surely he has done enough damage?



Things will make perfect sense if you have already read the first two books, but if you haven't then i do highly recommend losing yourself in Wildflower Park.



Like I said above, this novella follows on from the first so I am trying my best to be quite vague with my review - I'm not doing it to annoy anyone!! 'A Budding Romance', once again, had me in hysterics due to Sophie's humour, and the way that Anna's working relationship is blossoming with her colleague. I say 'blossoming' very loosely as it isn't as straight forward as it should be.



I really enjoyed the latest addition to the Wildflower Park series, and I thought the way that Bella Osborne created tension in such a loveable and hilarious manner, was an absolute joy to read.



I cannot wait to read the rest of this series - it's safe to say that I am hooked!!

The second part of the Wildflower Park series continues with more relationship problems for Anna. Liam her ex, seems to be regretting his decision, but does she really want to go there again? Hudson is an enigma and proves a supportive friend, and the face behind the text is revealed.

There are some interesting twists in this book, which alter Anna's perception of certain people in her life. There are many laugh-out-loud moments, especially for those who have looked after young children.

The characters continue to develop in a pleasing way, and the story still has secrets. Ending on an emotional cliffhanger again, I need to read part three.
I received a copy of this book from Avon Books UK via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This is the second part to the Windflower Park series. Again there is Anna and her trouble with men, Hudson the new guy at work and then her old boyfriend Liam. Plus she is texting a unknown guy with the initial C. And poor Sophie which is pregnant and her family is driving her crazy.
I love this author. Her books are so refreshing. It makes you happy to read her books.

An easy read with good characters. I am looking forward to the next part.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

Wildflower Park-Part 2 by Bella Osborne takes us deeper in Anna's and Sophie's life.

Sophie is having a meltdown as her home situation is less than desirable, her husband is oblivious to what is going on around him and how much is on Sophie's plate, especially since she is pregnant again.
Anna on the other hand has broken up with Liam, but has a mysterious phone buddy and a gay colleague who is helping her to keep Liam away.
As things progress secrets are revealed, emotions are running high.

Beautifully written story that lets us deeper into the lives of our favourite girls. With so many heartfelt and laugh out loud moments this book will touch your heart.
I really enjoy this series and I am immediately starting with book three.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the first installment of this serialized novel, but this second part did not work for me - it didn't seem to move the story along much, and I didn't care for the characters as much as I did in part one. I am hopeful that it picks back up again in the third section, and I will continue reading to see if it does. It once again delivers a mild cliffhanger, but this one is not as intriguing to me as the one at the end of part one.

I feel I will need to finish all four installments before I can recommend this book in its entirety.

Loving this series. Unsure where I want any possible romance to go - does she - doesn't she. Will have to wait and see. Loving the comedy elements too. Bring on the next installment.

Loving this series! Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Fun, frothy with a decent pace. There are tear jerking moments and plenty of laughs throughout. As well as the main character Annas story the supporting story involving her best friend Sophie is as intriguing and involving. More characters have been introduced in this part of the story and I’m interested to know how they will be involved in the story.

Thank you Netgalley.

I was looking forward to this next installment in the series- these are short-to see what would happen next to Anna and Sophie. These two are at different places in their lives but they're best friends and so good for one anther. Anna, whose fiancé Liam ditched her, has gotten a cat and now she's thinking about Hudson (in addition to her mysterious texture). This installment is more about Sophie and her husband Dave. Sophie's overwhelmed by her family and she's pregnant again. Don't worry, you know things are going to work out. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

In part 1 we get introduced to the characters, their situation, as well as the setting.

The main characters are Anna and Sophie. Anna is dumped by her fiancé and moves to a new place in Wildflower Park. She wants to focus on her career, but that is not so easy. A handsome new colleague or a mystery man, well, well... Sophie is a mum of two and the third one is on the way, but her husband is no help at all.
I love how both of them are the main characters and their friendship is great to follow and read about.

In part 2 things are starting to heat up and make the story more exciting. Can’t wait to see where things are going now.

Bella Osborne managed to put in cliff-hangers and really build up the tension. Her writing is charming, entertaining and just lovely!

Wildflower Park part two is starting to hot up as more happens and more is revealed in Anna and Sophie’s lives.
This part sees Anna revealing a bit more of her earlier life and we start to see how it has had effects on how her life is now and we also start to realise that Sophie is starting to reach boiling point and to be honest with the way her husband is taking her for granted!
I’m not going into this as it’s only 90 odd pages long but this I think is leading up to be one of the best series I’ve read by Bella Osborne. I’m loving that usually Anna would be the lead character but I feel that in this series the lead role is shared between the best friends as I am equally invested in Sophie’s life asi am in Anna’s.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

I am loving this series although I want to read it all at once!
We follow Anna and Sophie at work and home. Anna's ex comes in to the company and she has to get to know Hudson better , so that they can fight for their jobs.
I am really keen to read more.

Oh my goodness the second part in this series sees things starting to hot up! I love the fact that we have Anna's story and Sophie's story to look forward to each time here. The fact that they are friends would usually mean that one of them is a secondary character but I feel like they are each main characters and they are best friends so that makes their stories extra special!



Let me tell you, we get to find out a lot more about Sophie's story in this installment. Her situation is totally relatable but also makes me angry at the same time. I am angry at her husband but also angry at her for not doing more to speak up for herself and help herself somewhat, she needs to be a little more honest with everyone around her and I really hope that we get to see that in parts 3 and 4!



Anna's mystery text buddy gets a bit more action in this episode. We get to find out a little more about them but I definitely have my suspicions that there is more to them than meets the eye and more to the way they may or may not fit into Anna's life. The hate to love trope vibes are definitely strong with Anna's new work colleague and so I definitely have some predictions (which I won't share) as far as they are concerned.



I love this series so far and so if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading back to the peach of wildflower park to get stuck into part 3!

I liked this book but maybe not as much as part one.
I like the characters and also the writing style.
The books are easy to read and end on a cliff hanger

Great book. Couldn't wait to read it after the first one and certainly didn't disappoint. It's very easy to read and follow the story.

The story continues with Anna and Sophie, picking up right where the first book ended. Anna and Hudson are pretending to be together to make Liam jealous. Sophie is still annoyed with her husband and has a major crush on Hudson. While their stages of life are different, they want to be in each others shoes. Anna is sad her life is not going to plan, and Sophie would give anything for her single days again.

We end with a cliffhanger again, .cant wait to start book 3.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

Each part is a tiny novella that will not work on its own. Prior knowledge makes the story tick even if each part comes with its own little background information and increases the level of interest you will feel in this second part.
The story is of Anna who has chosen a home of her own and imagined a future in it. Her ideas on what they are does not exactly come to pass. There are more than a few hurdles strewn in her path. In the first part, she is adjusting to her new life and a complication is added at work with her having to work with the added changes. Her friend Sophie is frustrated with her life and Anna is a good sounding board but does not understand the levels of her frustration. 
The Second part brings back old characters and possible new ones adding to the dilemma. Anna continues to forge her way taking it a day at a time. Sophie's problems seem to go up a notch as well.
Although the tale is pretty realistic, it took me a while to warm up to the characters and since each part takes about one to two hours to read, I did not get the chance to bond. Personally, I like to see evidence of relationships and dynamics among the people instead of it being part of the narration, but that would probably be just me. It is a light-hearted read with some hidden heavier secrets that are held close with only hints being provided to us.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I have enjoyed everything this author has done and could not wait for the Wildflower series to start. Roll on my next read which is Part 3.

Things start to speed up in Part two as Anna's dasterdly ex, Liam, is back on the scene and soon starts sniffing around, as all bad ex's do.

Her best friend Sophie, pregnant and nursing a huge crush on Anna's American counterpart, Hudson. Things aren't helped by Anna and Hudson pertending to be a couple to put Liam in his place which, as Anna and Sophie believe him to be gay, isn't easy.

Ending in a nice cliffhanger all centred around Sophie and her husband Dave rounds off this part nicely.

I'm really enjoying this series now! The first one didn't give much away but when you think they're just over 100 pages long, it would be a bit hard for tons of action to start then! We're only just getting to know the characters. I really adore the cover of these series too. They're so colourful, bright and just really draw you in. I love the flowers, the swans and the pretty houses, everything just comes together perfectly and makes you want to read it.

I really like Anna's character. She seems to have gone through a lot in her life and I really feel for her. I also feel equally as sorry for Sophie, she's got a lot on her plate and her husband Dave seems to be a constant disappointment! I love the area in which they live, it sounds like a dream to back on to your own private park where only a handful of people are able to visit.

In this series, it's starting to heat up a bit and Liam arrives back in Anna's life with a big bang. She starts pretending to be in a relationship with Hudson (whom she still has some disagreements with) but since pretending to be in a relationship, the pair seem to be getting on a lot better. As well as this, poor Sophie seems to still be having troubles with her crush on Hudson and cannot get him out of her head, causing her and Dave to have a huge bust up. The main question at the end of this novella is whether they will get back together again!

It's a great addition to the story, and as the second and third novella was uploaded onto Netgalley at the same time I was able to start reading the third one in the series straight away which was lovely! I'm now halfway through the third and loving it! Seriously cannot wait to read the fourth in the series. Overall, a really enjoyable addition to the series, would 100% recommend giving this a read. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
