I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

An absolute joy!
The Little Barn of Dreams is like a little dream in your hand, full of quirky adorable characters, and a brighter-than-the-sunshine story which will give you all the happy feels.
It seems way too long since I have picked up a book by Lucy Knott, I have loved everyone I have read by her, she has a beautiful way of transporting the reader away from the stresses of the day with her enchanting writing which is always so full of love and heart, and this book is no different!
It's sweet and cosy, like a big comforting hug, with a real focus on love, friendship and daydreams - plus an idyllic setting, gorgeous hero and heartwarming story.
It's the perfect summery read - go and grab a copy!

This one had me at bookworm. IT was a sweet low angst fun rom-com. Quick read. So sweet . I really liked this authors writing style.

A story that was a delight to enjoy, it left me feeling warm and fuzzy. A story about love and faith, this was one I’d definitely read again

This was my first book by this author, It was pretty enjoyable. I would give this book a 5 star rating! It was a pretty Quick and easy read!

Any book to do with book lovers is a hit with me. This was no different, though I did feel it a little slow to kick off. The romance is very sweet and closed door which wasn't totally my cup of tea,

This the the perfect book for anyone that has ever preferred living in fictional worlds of books rather than the real world. Or for those of us who have vivid imaginations.

As if either of those statements struck a chord with you, then you will most likely be able to relate to Florence. She much prefers the company of people in her books to real life, and struggles to trust anyone. She has a habit of drifting off into daydreams, and also enacting accents of various characters when uncomfortable.

She's a wonderfully quirky character who I'd love to meet in real life. and as much as I enjoyed our initial introduction to Florence, it was once she was at Camp Calla Lilly that that book took on another dimension in part due to meeting Jo.

All I'll say is it was a delight any time Jo and Florence were on the same page together.

In fact the whole novel is truly delightful and I enjoyed myself immensely whizzing through the pages unable to turn them fast enough.

Another joy to read from Lucy Knott.

Thank you to Aria and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

The Little Barn Of Dreams by Lucy Knott

Can two dreamers find love in the real world? Read this book and find out.

This was a novel filled with fantasies and imagination. Not everyone understood Florence. A nice romantic atmosphere. The imagination of many situations was weonderful.

The Little Barn of Dreams pulled me in from the start. This is the first book I have read by Lucy Knott and once I was done, I fell into her backlist! If you haven’t discovered Lucy Knott, here is your sign to do so!

This checked off everything I look for in a book. Was not disappointed. Really enjoyed this book. I will read more from this author. Must read

I have loved everything about this one. This is well-written and a book that I have been completely unwilling to put down. I am a huge fan of this author and cannot wait for more.

This was a fabulous story with a lovely main character who was so endearing. I really enjoyed reading it, incredible summer read and I highly recommend.

I just loved The Little Barn of Dreams it was so full of life, I found myself smiling like alot throughout this story!
This book makes you feel all warm and cozy. Loved it from start to finish in fact I finished it in one sitting!
Great character development! The characters were simply amazing! Loved them all!

It didn’t take me long at all to fall head over heels in love with our leading lady, Florence Danver; with her magnificent imagination, her adorable accents, her eccentric personality, her envious wardrobe choices and her strong love for books. There was also a heavy depth included in Florence’s heart that also forced her to shy away from letting love in and that was the loss of her parents; once she had allowed them to help guide her in the right directions of the life she deserved, she was truly able to begin her healing process and what better way than at Camp Calla Lily?

Camp Calla Lily is every dreamers dream world, that can whisk you away to endless adventures and picturesque sights, that allow your imagination to run wild. The power of Lucy’s stunning descriptions of Camp Calla Lily had me falling in to the pages alongside Florence, twirling around in my own little pink hut and sitting outside in the early hours of the morning, curled up with a romantic book that filled my heart up with so much warmth. It was the perfect place to walk the streets with serenity, visit the Vintage Bookshop, enjoy a delicious breakfast at Sal’s café and dance around the barn until the stars come up. Lucy created a place so special here that every reader is going to be filled with envy, that this isn’t a place we can actually escape to and be our true selves without a care in the world. The characters within Camp Calla Lily and Manchester were a delightful set, always encouraging Florence to be the most genuine version of herself, also giving me some life lessons along the way. Florence had really found her place within Camp Calla Lily and a certain gorgeous man was of help to that…

Jo Hadlee is pretty much the man you always wish to meet in romance books and he absolutely ticked every single box. A dreamer like Florence, the two spent a week in daydreams and adventures, getting to know one another in an array of accents and whilst fixing the barn that had so much potential amongst it. The two of them endured paint fights, endless hours of talking about their favourite books, sharing their dreams and slowly but surely, falling in love. Despite the two being absolutely made for each other, they both held on to a lot of insecurities over not being good enough, believing the other to want a partner that is expected of us in society. The two of them meeting seemed too good to be true to start off with, but no matter how much Florence wanted to fight off her butterflies, she had started to believe that this could be real. Jo was every bit of a good man, who had the gentlest of hearts and wanted the best for loved ones around him. He had a painful past that made him vulnerable to people who wanted to take advantage of him, however, he was passionate and stood for what he believed in. He helped make all of Florence’s dreams come true and more. He was an admirable man and one that will have book worms swooning in to the pages.

The Little Barn of Dreams is a story filled with endless possibilities, imaginations running wild and a chance for everybody to be who they were meant to be. It is going to fill your heart with so much magic, so much warmth and a lot of encouragement to shine in the world.

Thank you NetGalley and Aria & Aries for an ARC of this ebook in return for an honest review.

Rating: 3/5

This book was a really cute story about a fellow book lover. I loved how I did relate to the main character, Flo, at some parts throughout the book. The story didn't catch my full attention at first and I took a bit to read it. However, as I kept going, I started to become interested in Flo's journey.

Overall, I thought this was a cute, comfortable, romance story. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars because it took a bit for me to be invested in the book. Other than that, I recommend it if you're looking for a hallmarky type of book!

I received this book for free for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Sweet and cozy read. Just what I needed this week.

This was a cute, very clean, romance. The writing made the story a bit difficult to get into. The style, including the dialogue was maybe just overly formal. The main character is very likeable, but it took some time to get used to her. She must be in her early thirties, but acts much younger. The way she daydreams, prances around, and imagines things like a child are a bit much at first. After finding out about her family history, I almost wonder if it’s PTSD causing some of her behavior. Either way, it’s nice to read about her meeting someone so perfect for her. Also, it was fun reading about the camp in the story. It makes me want to find a similar place to visit.
Overall, even though the writing style wasn’t my favorite, I still enjoyed the romance in the story.
Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries for providing me access to this eARC for my honest opinion!

Another great book by this author, you know you are always going to end up with a lovely warm feeling when you read one of her books. I loved the main characters of Florence and Jo and was drawn into the story from the first pages and didn't put it down until it was finished. Perfect beach read

Florence happily lives in her own world, and when her Grandmother packs her off on holiday to camp calla lily, she thinks she has found a kindred spirit in Jo, but is he too good to be true.
A great book in a great setting.
