Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Bella Osborne is one of my favourite authors and I really enjoy the Wildflower Park series and eagerly await the next instalment. Advice would be to read the books in order. Great 4 star read.

This is part 4 (and the final part) of the serialisation of Wildflower Park. These 4 parts do need to be read in order, but if you prefer to read them as all one book this will be released later in the year. I have read the other 3 parts already and they have all been fabulous little books in their own right, with each one ending with a cliff-hanger all ready for the next book. I couldn’t wait to get this book to read as I’ve really enjoyed this series and I just needed to find out how it was all going to end! I’ve also enjoyed seeing the different book covers for this series. The covers are truly beautiful and are worthy of hanging up on anyone’s wall!

So, quick recap without any spoilers! This is going to be tricky but here goes….we’ve met Anna. She has just been dumped by her boyfriend Liam, and has moved into her own place on the edge of Wildflower Park near her best friend and work colleague, Sophie. Sophie is expecting her third child and has been driving her husband crazy with her fluctuating hormones! Anna vows to concentrate on work after her breakup, especially when a new member is introduced to the team and she is also definitely staying away from men! When she receives an accidental text message from a mystery man and then meets the new American guy at work, can she stick to her vows?!

I’ve loved reading this series and am genuinely disappointed that we’ve come to the end! The story grabbed me at the beginning and kept my interest all the way through to the end of this book. This final instalment rounds everything up perfectly and explains so many things which have happened throughout the other books – I have been curious as to why Anna doesn’t drink and why she doesn’t like to fly! I’ve loved all the different characters with my favourite character changing from book to book!! Until this book, I wasn’t really sure of Hudson’s character (despite being the hottest thing this side of the Atlantic!), but he really comes into his own and I love how things end up. Still one of the funniest characters throughout the whole series, Sophie has made me laugh so much with her own version of swear words, which never quite work out right! My favourite all time characters though have to be Bert and his cat Maurice, who Anna is looking after. Bert is such a lovely character and I love his relationship with Anna. His love for his big old cat Maurice is particularly heart-warming and I have to admit it did bring a tear to my eye when Anna took Maurice in to visit him. Being a cat owner myself, I think Maurice is absolutely adorable and think his underpants stealing antics were hilarious!

This book, and the whole series was a joy to read! There were an unexpected twist towards the end, which I really didn’t see coming and I thought this book rounded off the series perfectly. I love this author’s writing and have loved the other series that have been written and this one was no exception. The only thing I didn’t like about is that, yet again, another great series has come to an end and I shall have to wait for the next one!! Loved loved loved it!! Highly recommended!

Thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for giving me this review copy to read.

I absolutely loved the last in this series. After leaving us on yet another cliff hanger I was so so pleased with the end. This is my second mini series from Bella. I look forward to the next

Loved the the final book in this mini series!! After many cliffhangers in the previous book, the ending was perfect. Can’t wait to read more from Bella Osborne.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

I adored this, would have loved a bit more Hudson and a bit longer at the end, seemed a little short to me but still a really great entertaining read.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest review

The fourth and final installment of the tales of Anna and Sophie. I have read all parts so could enjoy the continuation, but if others had missed a book or two they may struggle with this one. A good story of the life drama of the two women (one married and one single), and the characters are well defined. Just wish it would be all in one book instead of four segments. Otherwise, highly recommend this book and author. Fun read.

Loved the book and I'm sad to see the series end. I'm going to miss Anna, Sophie and the underpants stealing Maurice. I wish there was more about Lynsey and Esme, especially Lynsey. I feel like she was just casually mentioned and especially how she died. I now know why Anna has a fear of flying and heights. With all that happened in this book, I wish it was longer. My favorite part was when Maurice and Bert were reunited. Sophie being pushed in the wheelbarrow, while about to give birth was quite the scene. It would have been a great story. I was afraid for what Sophie and Dave were going to name their new baby. The ending was scary and creepy. There are definitely some crazy pants people out there. I wasn't expecting that to happen, although I never trusted that person. He/She always seemed like they were hiding something and weren't being truthful.

I loved the characters, story and writing style. I always wish the books were longer. There were a few twists, that I wasn't expecting. Finding out who Hudson's former fiancée, Emily, had married
was very interesting (and by interesting, I mean wrong on so many levels).

I definitely recommend the book and the previous three. It was a fun and quick read, with some memorable characters. I loved the cover of the book. I can't wait to read more books by the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Avon Books UK through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

Final part of this series following the stories of Sopie and Anna.

The whole series has been an enjoyable read, and built up to this final section. Some expected and some suspected things happen, keeping you guessing till the end.
