Spring Blossoms at Grange was a sweet story that pulled me in from Chapter 1!...... I highly recommend it!

This book is is part of a series of books at Mill Grange. Sam buys Mill Grange, renovates the house & opens it up to veterans to enjoy the long walks & also to try their hand at archeaology. A fortlet is found in the grounds which attracts people to Mill Grange. The story develops with interesting areas of archeaology, the people involved in Mill Grange & Sam & Tina's up & coming wedding.
The characters are likeable & interesting, which makes reading the series a pleasure. Enjoyable easy read.

What a fantastic story this was, I loved it from start to finish. This is a well written, truly delightful read, set in Exmoor, in the fictional town of Upwich, Jenny conjures up the feel of the area and the people who live there perfectly. Jenny Kane's expressive descriptions of the area certainly bring it to life.

The book revolves about the lives of four couples, Tina and Sam, Shaun and Thea, Tom and Helen, and Bert and Mabel, each of them is intrinsic to the story and the running of Mill Grange. I loved catching up with the lives of the people from Mill Grange and the characters themselves in this series of books. They are well rounded and I felt like I know them well, like old friends. Seeing how their lives and relationships are evolving was wonderful.

This is a really easy read which definitely had me smiling and maybe I did shed a tear or two, as well. This the third story from the Mill Grange series and I really recommend reading them all. I will be waiting impatiently for the next instalment.

Thank you NetGalley, Jenny Kane and Aria & Aries for the ARC of Spring Blossoms at Mill Grange.
This is my personal review.
Spring Blossoms at Mill Grange is the third book in the Mill Grange series. I have not read the first two in the series.
Helen has been trying to convince herself that she does not have feelings for Tom. She has told herself they are just friends and she is leaving to return to Bath after her sabbatical is over.
Tom is certain that is loves Helen. She is absolutely everything her wants in a woman. Life has other things in store for him. He has a decision to make that can give him what he wants.
I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know Helen and Tom.

Ah, Jenny has done it again ... I am already champing at the bit for book 4!

Back with the gang at Mill Grange is like meeting up with long lost friends. This time we find out if Helen and Tom finally see the light, Thea helps front Landscape Treasures and Mabel and Bert take on roles they never expected.

I received an advance copy of, Spring Blossoms at Mill Grange, by Jenny Kane. It was nice to return to an old friend. I liked the characters and the setting.

This is the 3rd book in the Mill Grange series, and I think it would be helpful to read the previous books first as I felt rather lost in some of the events and characters that are part of this book. Mill Grange is a large country home which has been converted to a safe retreat centre for injured army personnel. The story centers around the lives and loves of those who live in this lovely part of the UK.

With the longer days and Spring blossoms appearing, it’s a perfect time to read Jenny Kane’s third novel in the Mill Grange series, “Spring Blossoms at Mill Grange.” Originally intended as a trilogy, Kane wasn’t quite finished with her characters and will be adding a final trip to Mill Grange. The publication date of March 4, 2021 coincides with World Book Day. A coincidence? I think not!

She might not be willing to admit it to herself, nor even others, but we know that Helen Rogers has been in love with Tom since she arrived at Mill Grange. Why is she so hesitant to acknowledge her feelings? Well, firstly, Tom is a colleague. They work together with the archeology groups at Mill Grange. Secondly, her sabbatical is coming to an end and she’ll be returning to Bath. Both reasons are enough to make her squash any feeling she has. After all, is it really worth it?

Tom Harris is a different story. He knows he’s in love with Helen. Who wouldn’t be? She’s kind and intelligent, but most of all, she’s great with his son, Dylan. His problem isn’t acknowledging his feelings. His issue is that his ex-wife has been nosing in and uncharacteristically offering a chance to spend more time with their son. Furthermore, there’s to be a wedding at the old Victorian manner, and so Tom’s life, has to be put on hold for now. Yes, even his feelings for the cute archeologist, Helen. As her time runs out, the two are forced to consider what matters most.

What a lovely feel-good story! It’s a fantastic mixture of romance, humour, and filled with just enough laughable and serious moments to balance it out. I appreciate being able to read a clean romance. In fact, there’s a couple of romances in this story. Kane has figured out the perfect recipe! Her lovingly crafted characters are true to life and experience believable life events. Northmoor House, a Victorian manor, in Somerset, on the edge of Exmoor near Dulverton (Upwich in the novels) is the setting and the star of the show. The idyllic landscape is perfect for anyone wanting to escape for a while. Kane’s writing style with its gorgeous and vivid descriptions, allows readers to visit the places and follow the characters as if they’d been there themselves.

For returning readers, you’ll be able to catch up with Tina, Sam, Thea, Shaun, Bert and Mabel as well as get to know Tom and Helen better. The author’s love for the series shows, making this a novel to be on your radar come publication.

Thanks to Jenny Kane, Aria and Aries, and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
