Daisy has finally found her home in the small town of Tuppenny Bridge. She runs the Crafty Cook Café, which she loves, but she still struggles with her past. As summer comes to the Yorkshire Dales, Daisy takes long walks in the meadows, slowly learning to let go of her worries. When she meets Noah Lavender, the kind local headmaster, they form a special connection that helps her heal. But Noah has his own secret, making things complicated. Just when Daisy starts to move on, she runs into someone from her past, forcing her to face old memories. As autumn approaches, she must decide if she’s ready to embrace her new life or let her fears hold her back. This charming tale explores love, healing, and the courage to change.

Daisy is a newcomer to Tuppenny Bridge and owns a cafe, leaving behind an unhappy past. A regular visitor to the cafe is Noah, the headmaster of a local school. They form a bit of a friendship, finding a mutual enjoyment of walking in the local area. It is complicated, however, as Noah is married, although not all is well there.
I am lucky enough to read a wide variety of books, some I enjoy more than others. The Tuppenny Bridge series is one that I'm always happy to return to and this, the last in the series, is one I definitely enjoyed. I love returning to this area with its inhabitants and find out more about the character's lives and the mystery of a young man's death years before. There are some very dark moments in this book involving domestic violence, but there is no light without darkness. I would definitely recommend reading the previous books in the series first so that you know the history and fully appreciate the story. I am looking forward to finding out what this author invites us to read next.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

Thank you for the chance to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion.

I have only read the Tuppenny Bridge series by this author so had not come across Daisy's back story from a previous series. It is possible to read this as a standalone book but one certainly would get more enjoyment from the whole series.

This centres round Daisy, a recent incomer to Tuppenny Bridge and her cafe and relationships with the villagers.
She meets, by chance Neil the local headmaster and they go for a walk to see wildflowers - the reason they were both in the same place at the same time.
Neil has secrets of his own - which have been hinted at in previous books but explored in more depth in this book. His wife, Isobel, shows her true colours. To say more would be a great spoiler - as was reading the author's note first.

This was well written with empathy, and obviously well researched.

It brought together the threads initiated in the first book and brings the series to a conclusion - its a shame that some of the characters had only talked to the Vicar and not each other.

An enjoyable read - I finished it in a day!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

OMG! What a book to end the series on.

I’ve enjoyed reading the books in this series, but this one is just brilliant.

This book tied up all the threads from previous books and answered every question. What happened at the time when a man died years ago is fully explained, and everything comes together, about those that were associated to the person, in this, the last book, bringing out the answers to the secrets kept hidden.

But, the story also covers the subject of relationship abuse. This book had so much happening that you were turning the pages to read what happens next. couldn’t put it down,

I highly recommend this book.

A lovely wee book full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations. This tale of romance is very sweet but the path of true love is never smooth and this is the case here. A perfect read for a winter’s evening.

This is an enchanting romance but with some darker elements "no one knows what goes off behind closed doors" could have been written for this book.
Tupenny Bridge is a quaint town nestling in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, it is a town where Daisy Jackson has found peace and contentment after a heartbreaking few years. Daisy had fallen in love with her brother's best friend but her love was unrequited, Daisy had escaped to Tupenny Bridge and started her own business "The Crafty Cook Cafe", her cakes soon became the talk of the town, Daisy made friends, the town accepted her as one of their own.
Daisy had missed the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales when she had been in the city, she didn't have much spare time but when she did she liked nothing more than hiking in the hills.
It was on one such hike that she bumped into Noah Lavender, Noah was the gentle, kind local headmaster and as they were both out for a hike they decided to do it together.
Daisy and Noah chatted easily, they had lots in common and over the next few weeks they ventured on many such trips. It soon became clear that friendship was not all they felt for one another but there was a problem, a big problem, Noah was married to Isabelle, a woman no one really liked but a woman that Noah couldn't leave.
This story follows the journey of Daisy and Noah, the secrets that they both kept, in fact everyone in the town seemed to have secrets, would they all be revealed ? would this ever be resolved ? whose heart would be broken ?
A really enjoyable story with a lot of emotive, dark issued treated with sensitivity.
Thank you Storm Publishing and Net Gallery for this ARC, my review is voluntary.

Not the usual light romance that I was expecting. This book delves into domestic abuse - female on male abuse - and the book took a darker turn. I couldn't put it down, wanting to know if it ended well.

Didn't love this at first and almost gave up but something made me persist and I'm glad I did. This wasn't the fluffy romance I was expecting as it touches on some serious DV issues. Towards the end I couldn't put it down.

Riveting end to a great village life based series!🏘🌄

I loved Daisy and Noah's slow burn story, how they connected coming from similar difficult childhoods and loving the active country life. The tragic wrinkle of Noah's marriage was a great element and the nature of his shameful secret too seldom addressed in works of fiction. I was impressed with the author's handling of the whole issue of domestic abuse, like the realism of friends feeling that they had to believe and offer their support to a woman who indicates fear or injury from her partner. And the actuality that either partner, no matter the gender, can be an abuser and the abused ashamed and afraid to admit what's going on.

I've really taken to this Tuppenny Bridge collection of characters and most of them have at least cameo roles here. Some, like the ever-wagering Pennyfeather sisters, added a lighthearted humor to the romances and human dramas that played out. Though this story was a superb way to draw things to a close, I will miss the series.

Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

Ah this was the perfect end to the perfect series, I will miss it so much! This is a book absolutely not afraid of hard hitting issues but tackles them sensitively and appropriately - some wonderfully sensitive writing. Will 100% recommend.

Another great entry in the Tuppenny Bridge series! I always enjoy these books, and Hope Blooms was no exception. A wonderful read with engaging characters and a compelling storyline, I really enjoyed this one. It does help to read the other Tuppenny Bridge books first, I think, although you certainly could follow the story even if you hadn't.

One note of caution: this book feature a VERY realistic depiction of an abusive relationship. It's handled very well, and I think Booth does a great job using the story to bring attention to this issue, but be aware that there are parts of this book that are very hard to read.

This is book 5 in the series and would recommend reading the other books first to get the back story of what has happened previously.

Have loved the series and this instalment was a fitting conclusion and ending to it. How does the saying go all good things must come to an end and this was an incredible ending to the series.

This book focuses on the story of Daisy a newcomer to tuppenny bridge and one of the long standing residents Noah. It was also good to catch up with the other characters and their lives and for this instalment to tie up all of the loose ends and questions from the previous books.

The author has also brought the topic of domestic violence out into the open which is something that is not often talked about and is kept behind closed doors. This is done with sensitivity and highlights the importance of raising awareness about this topic.

This emotional finale to the Tuppenny Bridge series, is a powerful and moving conclusion that ties up various storylines from earlier books. Central to this story is the resolution of a plot involving a young man’s tragic death, with new revelations that bring shocking discoveries, particularly about relationship abuse. The novel explores deeper themes of emotional and physical abuse and its lasting impact.

The story alternates between the perspectives of two characters: Daisy Jackson, a newcomer who runs The Crafty Cook Café, and Noah Lavender, the local headmaster trapped in an unhappy marriage. Daisy, a kind and nurturing figure who has experienced her own traumas, forms a deep connection with Noah. Their friendship becomes a source of strength, especially as Noah’s secrets begin to surface, revealing the complexity of his personal struggles. Despite the emotional weight of these subjects, there are also moments of joy and romance, with Daisy’s café serving as a symbol of warmth and healing.

The novel skillfully addresses the darker aspects of relationships, while also providing a satisfying and hopeful conclusion. Fans of the series will appreciate revisiting familiar characters and seeing unresolved questions finally answered. The themes of personal growth, friendship, and healing are key to this heartwarming, yet thoughtful ending.

A well written story with plenty of warmth, humour and romance balanced with hidden conflicts, long kept secrets and strong emotions. I was quickly drawn into the story and loved the bustle of Tuppenny Bridge and the contrasting peace of the Yorkshire moors and coast. The storyline is engaging with hints of actions from the past causing conflict and divided loyalties. This book was hard to put down and I look forward to reading more in the series.

Now I need to read the full Tuppenny Bridge series! I'm not sure I had many dry eyes during this book - but that's ok! Each word tugs at your heartstrings in a different, but compelling way. Heartache, grief, joy, awe, love and laughter, and everything in between. Sharon Booth really captured what it means to be a human just trying to make it through life, one day at a time. Set in a gorgeous location of course. I felt I was walking along the meadows with Daisy, and didn't want to put the book down. Make sure to carve out time for this, because it will pull you in fast!

I thought this was another good book in this series.
It has some heartbreaking moments that deals with very real life issues. The characters are real and the romance is nice too.
I’ve not read all the books in this series but the ones I have, have all been hood

'Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge' is magic. It is so engrossing I could barely put it down to sleep. This is the second book I have read by Sharon Booth and I could tell I need to read more to get even further background on the characters and backstories of Tuppenny Bridge villagers. The story is tender, and difficult and I shed many tears. I can't recommend it highly enough and would give it 10 stars if I could.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

I read Coming Home to Tuppenny Bridge and Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge. It was lovely reading experience and I thoroughly enjoyed the lovely setting, the heartwarming plots and was happy to catch up with the fleshed out characters
I love the gorgeous cover!
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Daisy has just arrived in Tuppenny Bridge to open a bakery cafe, the cakes will make you hungry. Noah is married to Isobel but the marriage is not a happy one.
This has a trigger issue, but it end very well and happy. It’s an easy romantic read that will have you turning the pages. I really enjoyed reading about Daisy, she’s a happy character that will leave a smile on your face. A great 5 star read. I haven’t read the others , but will be.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

Good to be back with characters you know but what a difficult subject it covered. I loved Daisy’s baking and the cafe. It was hard to read at times. Gosh people are cunning .It will make you think. The walks sounded lovely and the wild flowers . Read.it .
