I have wanted to read this one for awhile now and was happy that I finally got to it, it was delightful. Kayleigh is a great character. Although she wasn't honest when she applied for the job, she was a hard worker, learned quickly, was fearless, and wanted to save the beautiful Elderflower Grove and the bees. I loved how the bees and the house seemed to communicate with her. Carey was another great character, but he had so many secrets. He was working behind the scenes to save Elderflower Grove, but had done a lot of damage to the area and town in his past. When it came down to it, he was willing to risk everything for Kayleigh and the bees. This was a beautiful setting and I loved learning about the bees. Each chapter opened with a bee fact, which I really enjoyed. The other references in the story were to Jane Austen. Kayleigh was a huge fan and often referred to the books and characters. This book has it all. There is romance, a mystery, some magic and a wonderful community story about saving the environment. I enjoyed this one a lot. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Emma Noakes. She does a lovely job with the story, giving voice to the various characters and pulling me into the story. I highly recommend this summer read.

What a lovely read. This book truly captured my heart. I did not want to put the book down or for the story to end. Fabulous read!

Unfortunately this one could not keep my attention and I ended up dnf’ing. I think a lot of people would love it, it just wasn’t for me

Like all of Jaimie's novels The Beekeeper at Elderflower Grove did not disappoint. I found the characters very loveable and I enjoy Jaimie's writing style. I've recommended this book to so many people! My only thought it that the story could have been condensed a bit.

Jaimie really can do no wrong - this was a gorgeous story. Although I'm not the biggest fans of bees, I was so enthralled in the life of a beekeeper and the romance was really lovely to read about.

how do you give feedback on a book involving bees well believe me they did it in grand style telling a story of hardship greed jealousy and everlasting love reading this book you had to read to the end wondering how it would finish and having doubts if carey was real or a ghost

Another fantastic feel good book by Jaimie Admans.
Great storyline and great characters made the book hard to put down.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Jaimie’s books that I have read so far and I will continue to read without having to know what they are about first.
Thank you to netgalley, the author and the publishers for allowing me to read this book

Had totally forgotten I had this book to read and review. Once I found it I was totally engrossed. Such a beautifully written book. So much so I’ve just ordered Jaimie’s whole back catalogue.
I want to live at Elderflower Grove and help Kayleigh with the honey collections.

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.

This was such a sweet romance to read with just enough mystery and everyday magic. The bees left a buzzing in my heart and the beekeeper made me happier than I could have ever imagined. I was hesitant because I am not usually a contemporary fiction person, but it was adorable.

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.
This book is billed as a romance, and naturally the course of true love never runs smooth. There are many comical moments, and lots of clever dialogue with outstanding descriptions of the atmosphere within the run-down garden and house. Summer and nature are clearly evoked, so that the reader feels all the uplifting benefits of fresh air, sunshine, flowers and wild insects / creatures, aided by the facts about bees at the start of each chapter - these were fascinating. The background story of the disappearance of the original owner provides a thread against the current story of Carey and Kayleigh, and there are a few twists at the end.
More than just a simple romance, this clever summer read has made me sign up to follow this author, and buy another of her books already.

Another gorgeous, captivating and funny read from one of my favourite authors.

Kayleigh is back living with her mum after losing both her relationship and her business. She's so desperate to find a job that she even applies for the role of beekeeper. The job is based at the local manor house and seems perfect, apart from the small detail of having absolutely no experience of beekeeping.

The manor house holds a special place in the community and many happy childhood memories.

Luckily Kayleigh finds help from an unexpected source, revealing secrets about themselves and the manor house along the way.

A stunner of a book with a premise that was spellbinding- a lady who knows nothing about bees has to quickly jump in at the deep end to keep them all safe, healthy and living! The setting at an abandoned Manor House is perfect, as is the story around what happened to the owner. Strangely this book made me think of paranormal cozies, and I sucked up every tiny detail. A gorgeous gorgeous book that everyone should read!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an exchange for an honest review.

A great read, worth it seeing for yourself..

Really enjoyable book. Plenty of romance and a dash of intrigue. Thoroughly fabulous read. I learnt a lot about keeping bees! My first read by this author but not my last. I finished this book with a joy in my heart and a smile on my face, you can’t ask for more.

Thanks Netgalley

A lovely romantic tale sprinkled with charm and warmth, The Beekeeper of Elderflower Grove is a witty and emotional feel-good page-turner that pulls the heartstrings. Jaimie Admans has written an enjoyable tale about new beginnings, forging forward to pursue your dreams and true love.

Not my usual genre but I love bees and the sound of this book just drew me in. I loved it from the very first page to the very last. I've enjoyed every second of reading, I liked the little mysterious twists, I liked the characters, i liked the pace of the story and I loved the bees. I'm immediately off to see what other books the author has!

What a buzzing read this proved to bee
With honey, secrets and more than one mystery!
I really enjoyed it right from the start,
The story of two, each with a broken heart
And a place that called to them and helped them heal
Whilst between them the truth they helped to reveal.

The new job for Kayleigh Harwood is quite a surprise
To get it, however, she has to tell lies!
She's the new beekeeper at the old manor house for now
What a pity she doesn't know what to do or how!

This book is such a fun read to enjoy and so
I highly recommend you also give it a go.
It had me laughing most of the way through
As Kayleigh learned quickly what a beekeeper should do.

There's another investigation that she helps to make
With the future of the bees and Elderflower Grove at stake.
Can they thwart the plans of the councillor and his mates
Or does the house have its own plans for their fates?

Bee tempted to give yourself a buzz reading this book
There are puns galore when you take a good look!
For my complementary copy, I say thank you,
As I share with you this, my honest review.
