Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge by Sharon Booth is a heartwarming and uplifting story of self-discovery and second chances. Daisy Jackson, a café owner in the idyllic town of Tuppenny Bridge, has worked hard to create a fresh start after years of putting others first. The cozy setting, paired with Daisy’s determination and warmth, makes this a delightful read from the very first page.

The romance between Daisy and the kind-hearted Noah Lavender adds a sweet layer to the story, though Noah’s secret brings a touch of complexity to their budding relationship. As Daisy confronts her past, the emotional depth of her journey is beautifully explored, set against the stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire Dales.

While the pacing is gentle, the story’s charm lies in its relatable characters and the sense of hope that permeates every page. Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge is a comforting and thoughtful read, perfect for fans of uplifting fiction with a dash of romance and personal growth.

This is a truly uplifting story that delivers a powerful surprise. I was thrilled with the ending, and I applaud the author for masterfully weaving a vital issue throughout the narrative. The attention to this issue is genuinely commendable, and the author's skillful handling of it is truly impressive. Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge is a heartwarming testament to the human spirit, and I am grateful to Storm Publishing via NetGalley for the opportunity to review this inspiring book.

Loving this series, the reader really feels like they are a part of it. Daisy and Noah’s story this time, plus a catch up with some past characters. Some difficult subjects handled sensitively by Sharon.
Beautifully written and pure escapism- loved it and highly recommended
Thank you to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Sharon Booth for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

This book tackles domestic abuse. The storyline was heavy, and very well handled by the author.
With truly likeable characters, glimmers of humour, warmth and community connection. This is another thoroughly enjoyable read from Sharon Booth. This series has been so lovely.

4.5 stars rounded up

I have absolutely loved the books in this series, and this one is no exception. A thought-provoking story with loveable and well-developed characters and a believable storyline. I highly recommend you add this book to your list. It can be read as a standalone, but I think readers will enjoy it more with the backstories of the other characters. I look forward to reading more from Sharon Booth.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a digital arc for review.

This one was way more of an emotional rollercoaster than I would have anticipated but still just as beautiful as the cover. While at times heavy this was a very well done read that I highly recommend. While it can be read as standalone, it is part of a series and I do plan now on reading the previous books

In this cozy and charming modern romance novel, Sharon Booth brings Tuppenny Bridge and the Crafty Cook Cafe in the Yorkshire Dales to life. Following cafe owner Daisy through her daily life during a particularly beautiful summer, readers join her as she meets local headmaster Noah, who possesses a similarly secretive past. As they connect and support each other, Daisy and Noah must come to terms with their secrets and their pasts to move forward to the future, but the resurfacing of an old face from Daisy’s past will make things a bit more difficult. The characters are the true stars of this novel, and readers will love falling into Daisy’s quaint and cozy life in Yorkshire at the cafe for a truly magnificent piece of escapist fiction. With its beautiful location and charming characters, readers looking for a summer romance novel will find it in Booth’s latest book. With happiness at stake for both Daisy and Noah, readers will love the emotional heart and heartwarming message of this book and really immerse themselves in the characters’ story and relationships. Brilliantly written, charming, and cozy, this is a great summery romance novel for readers looking for a slow-paced novel in the English countryside.

Daisy is a new member to Tuppenny Bridge and while there she gets to know another member of the town Noah. There is a rumor going around town that Noah is abusive to his wife. Thing is Daisy doesn’t believe it because of how Noah is with her. Will they be able to stay together or will the rumor spread them apart.

Sharon Booth writes beautiful books that are always somehow a bit grittier than a lot of other romances or lighthearted rom-coms. She is very honest with her characters all having realistic flaws and nowhere near perfect fairytale lives. This was book 5 of Tuppenny Bridge and I have read all but the first in the series so far.

This book is by far the most heartbreaking. We have seen throughout the series, the guilt and pain that one fateful night has brought on to almost a whole village. This book is no exception. The characters all experience love and pain in their books in the series but this one takes it to a whole new level. I think that the subject matter of domestic violence and abuse, especially in the way represented in this book, is an important one to have out there. It shares representations of what the abused may be feeling and what the family and friends go through too. A tough thing to write about but done really well through Sharon Booth. I also think that given the graphic violence, the blurb and cover may be a tad misleading. It makes it look more rosy and cosy than it actually is.

I enjoy the community of Tuppenny Bridge, especially the busy bodies and nasties combined with the loved up lovely characters. It shows you that no matter how nice you are, a good rumour mill can never be slowed down. I enjoyed reading from Zach's perspective and I smell that a brand new character related to Kat will be in the series before it finishes.

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed reading it!

It was terrific to return to the delightful village of Tuppenny Bridge and catch up with some of the beautifully imagined characters from earlier books. Don’t worry if you haven’t read any of the previous books, as you are in safe hands with Sharon Booth, and her light recaps will soon bring you up to speed. In all honesty, I didn’t start at the first book and have a good handle on the series.
Daisy is a lovely addition to the community, and I enjoyed following the focus on her. Her little café quickly caught the attention of residents and visitors alike, doing a roaring trade and confirming her decision to move into the area. Daisy is contentedly single and has no drive to find a partner and no real time to spare. What she does find time for is bracing walks in the surrounding countryside, relying on the local bus service to take her on her adventures. Her flat is small, and I was a little envious of the simplicity of her life.
Noah is the local headmaster; we have met him in previous books. He is married, the half-brother of Ross, and the nephew of the much-respected Miss Lavender. I enjoyed the opportunity to get to know him better and learn a little more about his life in the village. What I didn’t anticipate was the darkness of his secret or how he would fight to protect himself and his family from the truth. Thankfully, he found some relief as his friendship blossomed with Daisy.
The storyline is filled with challenging drama, and although it was a tough read, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Fiction is powerful when it gently guides us through life’s difficulties and leads us to a sense of comfort and safety. Hope did indeed bloom as light began to appear at the end of a very dark tunnel.
If you have any doubts about reading this book and, indeed, the entire series, please go ahead. The themes are often challenging, but the execution is first-class and handled excellently by this amazing author. This is the final instalment in a truly lovely series. I’m already looking forward to what comes next.

This was an emotional, sad but in the end it worked out for the best. Lots of secrets, embarrassment and finally when all is said and done, the truth comes out. I couldn’t put it down. I was sad, emotional and loved every bit of this story. Sometimes people don’t know what is going on behind closed doors. Friends who finally find true love and right the wrong. Worth the read. I received this book for my honest review. I give it voluntarily

Thank you for allowing me to review the 5th book in the series about Tuppenny Bridge. Each book focuses on a different resident of the village, This book is about Daisy, a fairly new arrival who knows little about the past. All the villagers do appear in the book, but it is not essential to have read the others previously. As the title suggests a romance is on the cards for Daisy, however, the story also covers issues of abuse, mental health and loss. I enjoyed reading this book, but others may find it a difficult read. It has been nice to learn more of the backgrounds to some of the key characters within the village.

Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge is a good read. Please be aware this book has some subjects that maybe hard for some readers including affairs, spousal abuse, and accidental car accident leading to loss of life this is not detailed only mentioned. Please read warnings! Your mental health matters. This book also has some religious details but isn't overly mentioned if that is a problem for you then this may not be the book for you.

This is a really good read overall. I enjoyed the storyline and some of the characters, others not so much.

This book is also a good reminder abuse can happen to anyone. If you or someone you know is being abused please seek help.

A quick, but not necessarily easy read set in the Yorkshire dales. I have read others in the series, which concentrate on a couple of townspeople . This time it is Daisy, who runs the cafe on the marketplace, but other villagers, some we have met before, are involved in the book too which adds to the continuity of the serie. The book is also ok as a stand-alone though it does give more insight into the plot if you have read others. Far from being just a romantic novel, this book also explores abuse within relationships, so if that is a trigger for you, perhaps this is not for you. I suppose this subject is dealt with reasonably well, though not with a great deal of depth (but that is not what the book is aiming for) and some matters mentioned in other books are also explored. I did enjoy the book and would not hestitate to read more from this author.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC

Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge although a romance full of interesting and/or funny characters deals with a strong theme which is psychological and/or physical abuse. Domestic violence, regretfully, is much more common than we would expect and it affects men and women pertaining to all social levels and economic tier and in all countries on this earth. This book raises the matter and gives lots of food for thought on how to deal with it and how to give support to those that are living in these circumstances.
I thank the author, her publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC.

So three stars is stretching it for this book in my opinion due to missing trigger warnings. The title and summary are misleading and the author admits at the end of the book that she doesn't include trigger warnings because she doesn't want to deter people from reading her books. There is domestic abuse in this book and it is graphic. I found it very overwhelming even though I imagine it could be realistic. I only gave it three stars because I did care about the characters and there was an HEA even if it was too short.

A quiet romance which deals with the darker side of some marriages. Daisy finds love with Noah who is in a turbulent marriage with Isobel. Daisy has to fight for her happiness and tries to keep those she loves safe.

The delightful village of Tuppenny Bridge where everyone knows, and cares about, each other is the setting for this thoroughly enjoyable story. The book is mainly about Daisy a newcomer to the village and Noah. The couple embark on a platonic friendship but will it evolve into something more? That is the big question. However, Noah is married and he has a secret that goes back many years. The story is quite dark in places as it covers domestic abuse that could be triggering for some readers so caution is needed for those who may be affected. I found the book very gripping and picked it up at every opportunity. It can be read as a standalone but to have read previous books in the series would be an added bonus as characters from those books reappear here. I loved it. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

2⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advanced copy of Hope Blooms In Tuppenny Bridge.

Daisy is a newcomer to Tuppenny Bridge and she begins to interact with Noah another member of the town. He is always polite and very kind during there interactions. But word around town is that his marriage is in trouble and that he is abusing his wife. Daisy does not believe it and the more time she spends with Noah the more they both fall for one another. She also finds out the truth that there is abuse happening in his marriage but it is his wife who is abusing him. Can she save Noah and build a life with him?

This book was way darker than I thought it would be and I absolutely hated the character of Noah’s wife. It was truly hard to read and enjoy this book for me because of her.
