A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

Having not read the first 2 books in this series, it took a while to engage with the story. Once I got past the initial get-to-know-the-characters phase, I found the story to be a fun read about the escapades around the Lerwick Manor Hotel. The characters were fun and loveable. WIll definitely check out more from this author.

I love the Shetland series by Erin Green. This is just another one that I devoured - I loved reading more about the residents of the manor and its surrounds, along with meeting new residents and visitors.

Natalia's story was a brave one to include, and I hope it teaches people that being different is ok.

The family story with Jemima, Pippa and Callie is an interesting one, and one I am looking forward to explore further on in the series.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this book! I would recommend it to everyone!

What a wonderful return to Erin Green's Shetland, to Lerwick Manor and a whole host of familar characters, ready to welcome you back with open arms.

It was lovely to be in the presence of Ned and Jemima again and seeing just what new ventures they have launched since the last time we met.

Well it appears they now have a hotel, the Manor house has been turned into a hotel and Autumn is the general manager and one of three viewpoints we have for this book. She is a people pleaser but is likely to damage her health if she doesn't curb some of her natural tendencies. What I loved about her was dealing with the guests every last request including some rather bizarre ones.

Then we have Pippa who is Jemima's cousin, and he been put in charge of their mobile bread delivery van. Pippa is viewed a certain way by everyone in Lerwick and seems to be resigned to it, but also wanting to change people's perceptions of her.

And then we have Natalia, who has booked into the hotel hoping to surprise Ned and take back her place as his girlfriend. Only she has another thing coming, but as she is reeling from one piece of news, something happens that completely changes her life.

I wasn't keen on Natalia initially but I must say she grew on me as the story progressed. However she did have a very distinctive voice even if she did seem slightly delusional at times.

I also loved seeing Dottie again, who seems to know everything about everyone before they even know anything about themselves. She is a wonderful character and I wish all manor houses had their own Dottie.

This is thoroughly enjoyable and had me thinking about the characters even while I wasn't reading. I am absolutely loving this series a lot, and given I have the next book on my kindle already, I think I may have to read that next! I can't wait.

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

I didn't realise that this was part of a series when I originally read this, however this didn't impact my read and it can easily be read as a stand alone.

I loved this book - it was very well written, kept me engaged right from the start and was well paced throughout. I loved the setting and the characters, they were brought to life fantastically.

A gorgeous summer read.

This was a very enjoyable return to the Shetland Hotel series. we get to know 3 of the female characters a lot better.
Pippa is getting used to a new role delivering bread in an old ambulance. She has huge reservations at first but soon grows to love meeting new customers and feeling valued.
Autumn keeps the hotel running smoothly but the stress gets to her.
Natalia is initially an unlikeable character- but you gradually warm to her and start to feel engaged with her.
You feel part of the community and part of the problem resolving throughout.

Another fantastic book in the Shetland series, I loved being back at Lerwick manor with the community .
This time there were three main characters, Pippa , Natalia and Autumn , all very different with their own individual stories but intertwined with the Lerwick Manor community. An outstanding read which I would highly recommend. Beautifully written , great characters and a fantastic story
Thank you to Netgalley, Headline and Erin Green for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

Sunny Stays at the Shetland Hotel is the third in the From Shetland, With Love series by Erin Green and it’s just the most fabulous summery read that I devoured in very short order. It’s a book that reminds me why I love women’s fiction so much and when you find a series that you are really deeply invested in and just can’t get enough about then you want to shout about it from the rooftops and that’s what I do whenever I can with this wonderful series. This new story can easily be read as a standalone but I would suggest you read the previous books to familiarise yourself with some of the characters and in doing so I can guarantee you will become as deeply engrossed in this setting, the brilliant plots and the varied cast of characters as much as I am. I felt this time around I really got the same excitement and feel good vibes as I had from book one as familiar characters made a reappearance as well as the focus turning to three new characters. Each of which were perfectly crafted with one you love to hate, one you completely identify with yourself and the other you reserve judgement on for quite some time considering her actions in book one as she has an awful lot to prove.

Lerwick Manor is unveiling its latest venture after the success of the Stables arts and crafts gallery and the artisan coffee shop. The Campell family home has been refurbished and is now a hotel run by Ned and Jemima. It was great to see both of these characters back with more of a role in this book as I adored their storyline in book one and it’s always great to see a continuation of characters you became enthralled by. Pippa, Jemima’s cousin, has swapped roles, giving up her job as a waitress in the café in order to run Ned’s latest great idea - The Artisan Bread Basket. She will drive a converted ambulance around Shetland’s rural communities selling breads and baked goods from the café. Pippa isn’t one bit happy about this and she remains that way for quite a bit of the story until slowly the wonder of Shetland and the people she meets really start to get under her skin. For quite some time it was niggling away at me how did the name Pippa ring such a bell with me but it’s only as little titbits were dropped in every now and again that it came to me and then my opinion of her changed based on what I recalled of her. But can a leopard change its spots? She truly has an awful lot to prove to Jemima and those that word at Lerwick Manor.

The first thing I felt she needed to do was get that big chip of judgement and resentment off her shoulder. She was so woe is me. I’m always second best and I have to grin and bear it. Well her prior actions left a lot to be desired so no wonder people didn’t always give her the benefit of the doubt or view her in the best light. She has a habit of letting people down but Ned was willing to give her a chance but would she take it with open arms or complain every step of the way? She is renowned for holding grudges and being seen as the proverbial black sheep of the family and really wants to change people’s opinions of her. ‘I need to be my own person and not the Pippa who simply puts up and shuts up, goes with the flow and accepts the casts off of live. Trouble is, I’ve done it for so long, I appear blasé about most things, but deep down it matters, it truly matters to me that others start seeing my worth’. But the more I got to know Pippa the more I felt some empathy towards her and I felt she just needed a chance to turn preconceived ideas about her around and try and get past her childhood issues and insecurities and let her guard down a bit. After all there could be someone perfect for her out there if she opened her eyes and looked a little harder?

Natalia is the character I loved to hate but again she does undergo quite a journey and transformation and comes back down to earth in a way she had never dreamt possible. She arrives to stay at the manor and is all secretive. She wants to keep her arrival under wraps until she can meet Ned again and pick up where they left off. You sense from the off that with her introduction that she was out to cause trouble and put the cat amongst the pigeons. I desperately didn’t want her to upset the utopia and harmony that Ned and Jemima had established. Natalia had her own agenda and she believed that the stay would mark the beginning of the rest of her life but little did she realise that this would happen but in the most unexpected of ways. The manner of which the author managed in a very apt way and it made me feel sympathy for Natalia but also admiration for the way she left aside her guilt, disgust and self-loathing and instead she became dignified and graceful and accepting of the new situation she found herself in.

Without doubt, my favourite character was Autumn. We can all identify with some little bit of her personality and she was just written so well that I felt every emotion she was battling with trying to be 100% perfect in her job and with regard to all aspects of her life. But she couldn’t possibly maintain the level of perfectionism that she strives for in her every waking hour as the new general manager of the hotel. Autumn has deep hidden issues. Well they are hidden to those that surround her but they become pretty evident to the reader fairly early on and it’s heart-breaking to see her going through such stress and anxiety and the length she goes to make sure everything is in tip top shape and impeccable. She put herself under so much unnecessary pressure but there was a reason for it and it wasn’t something to be scoffed at or by someone saying ah just get over it. This need for perfection is part of her identify but has the time come when she will have to address these issues and let the urges not overtake her anymore? I was rooting for Autumn that she would find an outcome that would work for her and that she would take time to concentrate on herself as she was always there for both Pippa and Natalia. Maybe they could return the favour and allow Pippa to alleviate some of the burdens she shoulders herself with?

From beginning to end, I adored every moment of the time I spent whisked away to the Shetland Islands and in this case specifically Lerwick Manor and its surrounding areas. Erin Green has created a vibrant community that you wish to return to on a regular basis. In fact, if she could just write a little bit more quickly about this special setting and the incredible characters that would make me very happy indeed. You can tell how much the author loves writing these books because her excitement and enthusiasm just radiates from the pages. So much love and attention has gone into creating an unique and warm community where every little detail is thought of which all combines to make such a feel good and engrossing read that you wish would never end. There are three strands to the story given there are three characters but you never feel as if they are disjointed instead all the individual threads weave together into one warm hug of a read that is impossible to put down once you start reading. Book number four, A Shetland Christmas Carol publishes in September and knowing how good these books are I certainly won’t be waiting until the Christmas season to read it.

This was a fun summer escape read! Quick and easy with familiar friends if you've ready any of the other books in this series. While it's helpful to have read the previous books in this series, just so you're familiar with some of the supporting characters, it's absolutely not necessary and this could definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. However, if you aren't already invested in this community, some of the characters might not be likeable enough for you to see past it. Really, the setting is the best character in this series and I loved returning to Lerwick and the addition of Rolly the ambulance turned bakery delivery van and "seeing" the estate turned into a fancy hotel and how this change has affected individual lives of various characters new and old. Personally, reading this felt like sitting down with an old friend and catching up with all the small town gossip and news I've missed while I've been away for awhile.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion. I am enjoying this series so much I have bought the book to read again.
Any reader could enjoy this book as a standalone as there are reminders of past events so nothing important is missed but I urge you to read them in order to get the full experience of getting to know the interesting characters in the beautiful community setting in Shetland. This book concentrates on Pippa (a younger cousin who feela she is misjudged and has to fight with everyone, including behaving so rudely she won't answer people if they ask her a question), Natalia who swans in with expectations that others are expected to go along with, and Autumn who ignores instructions from her bosses in her efforts to please customers. I found each of these characters irritating and unlikeable which proves what a terrific job the author has done to draw realistic characters. The events progress through a season, as usual, and I can't wait for the next (Christmas) book in the series.
I recommend you enjoy some time out reading this lovely community-based series.

Lovely feel good book to read. It was a joy to read. Lovely characters. Great plot. The book was charming. Very well written. I’d definitely recommend this book. Lovely setting what more could you ask for

Charming and romantic, a wonderful summer read that left me with a feeling of warmth and happiness. Great characters, good backdrop, and the story flowed really well.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the previous two books in the From Shetland, With Love series, I was so pleased when I was accepted to read and review Sunny Stays at the Shetland Hotel! This book also works as a standalone as Erin gives a full insight and background into the previous characters and the setting of the previous books.

In this book, we hear the stories of three women at the Lerwick Manor Hotel in Shetland - Pippa, Natalia and Autumn.

I loved Pippa - although she was not keen at first, she embraced her new job driving the Bread van and going round the villages meeting the people at the heart of the community. I did smile and laugh when I read about the loaf being cut in half and how it was planned! Brilliant! Pippa got so much from working on the bread van, just as much as the villagers she helped on her delivery round. And Pippa and Levi make the perfect strong team - I was so pleased when they got together.

Natalia was a tough character to like at first. When Natalia arrived, I wanted her to leave as soon as she knew Ned and Jemima were married because I was worried the trouble she may cause to their relationship and business. As the book went on, I did warm to Natalia and she found an unlikely friendship with Dottie who only had her best interests at heart and Dottie did all she could to help her in her recovery.

I loved Autumn - my favourite character but I kept rooting for her to make sure she looked after herself more as she was suffering so much due to working far too hard. Pippa is a perfectionist but this was detrimental to her health. Her dedication and love for Lerwick Manor shined through and she worked so hard - I was in stitches with some of the requests she got asked for - and she fulfilled them too, however much work it was. Autumn is an asset to the Hotel and Ned and Jemima are lucky to have her.

It was great to be back in Shetland, meeting new and old characters and the Alpacas! Friendship and love are a key theme and everyone needs a friend to lean on for support and to share good and bad times with.

Thank you for another fabulous read! I am very much looking forward to another visit to Shetland with Book 4 in the series - A Shetland Christmas Carol!

Thank you very much for my advanced copy. This review is based on a NetGalley ARC provided in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.

Sunny Stays at the Shetland Hotel by Erin Green

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Headline and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Pippa has long felt like the odd one out in her family. Taking a job driving a mobile bakery van around Shetland's villages gives her a sense of freedom and purpose, but also makes her realise how much she wants to belong.

Natalia has recently returned to Lerwick hoping to reconnect with an old flame. But she's engulfed by loss and rejection when she hears that he's moved on, and Natalia's world is turned upside down.

Autumn is dedicated to her job in hospitality and relishes her role as general manager of Lerwick Manor's new hotel. No guest request is too big or too small, but her own unrelentingly high standards could push Autumn to her limits.

This is the third book in the series but I feel that it could work well as a standalone. Erin writes these books in such a way, that I truly feel like I am being welcomed back by friends. Such a lovely escape, ideal for a heart-warming holiday read.

Rating 4/5

Sweet book but I found two of the characters extremely grating and had difficulty finishing. I'll give the Shetland books another chance since I've heard good things but Natalia and Pippa were just too obnoxious.

This is book #3 of the Shetland Isles series and is the story of three women at the Lerwick Manor Hotel on Shetland. Pippa has been given a new job driving the hotel’s new bakery van around the surrounding villages, Natalie has come back to stay at the hotel in the hope of reconnecting with an old love and Autumn is striving to be the best at her new job as hotel manager.

This is the first book I’ve read of this series, and if I’m to be truthful I really struggled with the storyline and the characters initially. The book seemed to follow straight on from the previous book, with no brief catch up to jog our memories, or in my case let me know who was who. The chapters alternated between the three different characters, and whilst I had no problems with the characters – they were all interesting in their own way! – I found it hard to work out what was going on because I hadn’t read the previous books. I did settle down into the storyline though, but it did take me a lot longer than I expected it would and that did detract a little from the enjoyment of it.

However, as I’ve said, I liked the characters and found them all interesting. I loved Pippa on her bread round! She went from not wanting to do it at all to proving everyone wrong and being the master of the mobile bakery by the end of her first round! Her storyline filled my imagination with images of the bread van travelling through these beautiful little villages with Pippa in her apron selling her wares! I struggled to like Natalie initially, but as the story moved on my opinion of her changed. She came across as a little self-centred, but there was a lot more to her storyline. Autumn was lovely, and whilst I’m all for striving for perfection, she did take it a little too far to the detriment of herself. All in all, this was a heart-warming, emotional and sometimes fun story which focussed on friendships, family and love. Whilst I struggled at the beginning, I’m glad I kept going with the book as, by the time I’d finished, I found that I’d really enjoyed it! The characters were likeable, it was well written, and the location sounded absolutely perfect! I do think you need to have read the previous two books in the series to fully appreciate the women’s stories, but I will definitely be going back to do just this.

Thank you so much for the chance to read this it was such a treat! A perfect cozy summer read for sure!! It was first book by this author but most certainly will not be my last!

This is the third book in the Shetland Isles series of books, I think that it is more enjoyable if you have read the first two books.
I really enjoyed reading this book, the majority of characters are ones who have featured in the previous books, apart from Autumn who is a new character.
This book features Pippa and Natalia, who we see a different side too and Autumn, as the Shetland Hotel gets up and running. I was a little disappointed in Ned in this book. His treatment of some of the characters (no spoilers) wasn't very good.
This book has some strong themes about Anxiety and Strokes. I think that it dealt well with them, especially with the younger people.
I enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Thank you to Netgalley and The Publisher for my ARC.

This was a compelling read. It was good to be back at the Shetland Hotel and catch up with the characters and to read about the new ones. Autumn was a really good character with such a hard job. A story pf friendship and love which made for a really good read.

Really enjoyed book 3 in the Shetland series by @erin_green_author
5⭐️
It was good to revisit some of the characters from the other two books!! Dottie still helps out at Lerwick Manors new hotel! Pippa tries to prove herself to others, Natalia returns expecting to continue an old relationship and Autumn finds herself dealing with the burnout for trying to keep up with her high expectations and not letting guests down!! Many issues covered in the book, great for opening up different discussions!! Would recommend this series and can't wait for book 4 later in the year!!
