My Thoughts:
Ahhh I love getting to go back to Thimblebury! While you can read these individually you will want to start at the beginning to really get to know Ottilies story, her journey AND all about who is who in the adorable little village. That said we get to go back and this time there is A LOT happening! From surprise family members popping in and the start of a wedding being planned, we get to see Ottilie as busy as ever! Her and Heath are at the start of making some MASSIVE decisions about their future but also whether that future will include staying in Thimblebury or moving back to Manchester! Along with some new additions to the village and some big announcements you won't be disappointed with how this story unfolds! I already need to know where this is going!!! I need to see where the next chapter for Ottilie and Heath is going!!!!


Synopsis:
As village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft and her fiancé Heath plan their engagement party, she can’t hide her feelings of pure happiness. She’s so settled in cosy Wordsworth Cottage and can’t wait to celebrate her exciting news with the villagers she’s come to know and love.

But, on the day of the party, as she strings up bunting and fairy lights, there’s a surprise in store. A young woman appears on Ottilie’s doorstep – claiming she’s Ottilie’s half-sister Fion and she wants to be part of Ottilie’s life.

Soon Fion’s feet are firmly under the table in Ottilie’s cluttered kitchen and Ottillie and Heath are spending less and less time alone. Ottilie loves having her sister living in the spare room, but she can’t help but notice that with no space to talk privately, she and Heath can’t see eye-to-eye.

Then a shocking secret about Fion comes to light, one that casts a long shadow over Ottilie’s own happiness and her future with Heath. Ottilie knows that family should come first, but what if it’s at the cost of her exciting new beginning?

Lots of surprises await you with reading A Family Surprise for the Village Nurse. So MANY unexpected situations arise for Ottilie and Heath.
Ottilie is the community nurse in Thimblebury. Newly engaged and trying to plan her engagement party.
I love the characters in the story and the friendships they have with each other. Though there is a fair bit of gossip going on as with most small communities.
I encourage you to read the books in order. There is so much backstory to each character that is very important to know about.
All opinions expressed are my own.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I have really enjoyed the previous books in this series so was excited to read the latest installment. Unfortunately, I don't think I enjoyed it quite as much as the previous ones, as I was not as invested in the main storyline, nor did I feel its portrayal was particularly realistic. However, it was lovely to go back to Thimblebury, and as ever, I think one of this series' biggest strengths is the rich, diverse, and well-rounded supporting cast - I loved seeing Fliss, Lavender, Ann, Corinne, Victor, Stacey et al again. The closing chapter left me excited for the next book in the series; I am looking forward to reading the next chapter in Otillie and Heath's lives.

The third book in this amazing series following Ottilie and the villagers of Thimblebury. Ottilie a community nurse has a lot going on in her personal life in this book alongside her fiancé Heath. Easy to read chapters with the characters we’ve previously met plus some new ones. Thanks to Tilly and her publisher. Please write more in this series. I can’t wait Thanks also to NetGalley

A third outing for the Village Nurse which could be read as a standalone novel but probably best to read in order as past events are influential. The book opens with Ottilie and Heath’s engagement party but a surprise guest arrives who changes things for the couple. A story dealing with secrets and family relationships it also shows how a small, close community can be helpful and supportive but also become judgemental and vicious. It ends with something of a cliff hanger so I’m looking forward to the next book.

My favourite of the series so far. I love the setting and the characters. .
. .

Back in the beautiful lake district with familiar faces. This is the third book in the series but could be read as standalone .
It’s an exciting and challenging time for Ottille . Will she remain in the village or will she return to Manchester?

Tilly is a master story teller. id like to think i cant jinx an authors so i will go forth and say she can do no wrong with her writing and her books are five stars and more every single time. i couldnt love this author more...oh okay every new book i seem to!
this book is book 3 of a series that follows a community and mainly our character Ottilie. if youve followed all the books you will adore her. but actually, if this is your first in the series you will still adore her. but youll want to go back and read her whole stories up to now, and that of the little community she lives. because its one of the best.
this book is following her love story. which has been so wonderful to witness via the other two books. she didnt always have it easy having lost her first love. so i have been holding my breath hoping she and Heath will be ok. this book arrives at the time of their wedding. but someone turns up quite unexpected. and that someone is Fion who claims to be her half sister. and this in itself brings surprise and possibly a few moments of heartbreak. how did she get a half sister? what part of her past and core self is about to change when she finds out exactly what happened in her own parents past?

this book had me gulping and a little emotional at times. if you can be overwhelmed by your investment into a book series then this is one of those times. it just felt like people i knew were going through strife and i hated it.
that doesnt stop this book from filling my whole heart and loving every moment i got to sit down and read it.
there is nothing better than a good book. and they dont get better than books like this one. i feel truly lucky that we have authors like Tilly around us.

Another book in the village nurse series- the third to be exact. This time Ottalie is engaged and finally getting some happiness after her first husband’s tragic death. However, a surprise is in store when a woman turns up claiming to be her half sister. The complexity of this new relationship is a major theme of this book. There’s a kind of cliffhanger ending which raises expectations of a fourth book. Can’t wait

this is the third book in the village nurse series and a return to the life of Ottilie the village nurse in the sleepy lake district village of Thimblebury.
When Otitlle and Heath hold a party for there friends and family to announce there engagment she wasn't banking on a stranger turning up claiming to be her sister.
They soon get to no each other and she moves to the village in hopes to getting a job and getting away from her parents house were shes over stayed her welcome there.

This book returns to the charming village of Thimblebury in the Lake District, continuing the heartwarming journey of village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft. Now engaged to Heath, Ottilie’s life seems idyllic as they plan their engagement party. However, the unexpected arrival of Fion, claiming to be Ottilie’s half-sister, introduces unforeseen challenges and emotional complexities. The narrative delves into themes of family secrets, personal identity, and the dynamics of newfound relationships. Ottilie’s internal conflict and her evolving relationship with Fion are depicted with sensitivity, adding depth to the storyline.This is a delightful continuation of the series, offering a comforting blend of romance, family drama, and community charm.

Ottilie is engaged to Heath and she finally feels settled and happy but when a surprise visitor arrives at her engagement party claiming to be Ottilie's half sister things are certainly about too get messy. I think the characters handle themselves well in the story and I enjoyed seeing Ottilie in love as we didn't get to meet her first love Josh. The plot has a few surprises which have me excited. I am hoping that this isn't the last book as it ends on a sort of cliffhanger that had me jumping for joy!

A surprise half sister upends Ottilie's plans with Heath and her quiet life in the Lake District. Fion moves in and changes everything as the two get to know one another. Fion's very different from Ottilie but she's a good egg at heart. I liked the village atmospherics. While I missed the first books of the series but this was just fine as a standalone. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

This is book three in the series but can be read as a standalone although I recommend the full series from the beginning for maximum enjoyment.

It was lovely to be back in the beautiful setting of the lakes and to reconnect with this lovely community of characters particularly ottilie and to see how her relationship with Heath further developed. These books are full of friendship and have a real community feel and explore real relatable issues and include characters which the reader is able to connect too.

I really hope there is going to be a book 4.

This is book 3 of a 3 book series, but each book can be read as standalone if preferred.

So it was truly lovely to be reacquainted with Ottilie and Heath, along with a whole host of other characters whom also featured in previous two books. We also get to meet a couple of new characters, mainly Ottilie half sister Fion.

It was a fun story, with lots of drama and other stuff going on, lots of gossiping within the neighbourhood community which Ottilie has to deal with and ends up having mixed feelings about.

So all in all another enjoyable story that was well written with some great characters.

I’ve enjoyed the characters so much, that I’m hopeful that there will be a book 4 to the series.

It was great to be back with Ottilie and the gang. I love catching up on the village gossip. Discovering she has a sister was major for Ottilie and I felt how she handled the situation was very calm and mature. Not only did she have to deal with her mothers infidelity, but also her biological dads total rejection, but all the while she loved and accepted her half sister Fion and showed immense maturity when dealing with all the drama Fion brought into her life and the village.

Some interesting twists and turns and character developments, and as usual, ends just as you’re hanging on every word!! I can’t wait for the next instalment and see Ottilie and Heath become a family.

I loved this story of the nurses in the lake District especially Ottilie who was a lovely character and it was nice following her story and romance. The visitor who arrived at her cottage was a great surprise and made for a great story in itself. A real page turner and fascinating read. I love this series.

As Heath and Ottilie celebrate their engagement with a surprise party in the village of Thimblebury, a surprise visitor turns Ottilie’s world upside down.

On discovering that she has a half sister, Ottilie invites Fion to spend time with her so they can get to know each other.

With Heath being offered a promotion at work, Fion moves in with Ottilie, and soon causes waves in the little village.

This is the third book in The Village Nurse series and I liked being back in Ottilie’s world again.

I liked her relationship with her newfound sister and the ease with which they bonded.

As always with a small village, gossip goes around very quickly and I couldn’t help but smile at how the author deals with it in her writing.

An entertaining and quick read, I do hope there will be more books to come in this series.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Run away to the gold-tipped peaks and sparkling waters of the Lake District and the charming village of Thimblebury. Here, newly engaged village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft is about to discover a family secret that will turn the life she loves upside down…
Excellent… I was totally involved in the story, the characters and their lives. Emotional and poignant… beautifully written and so evocative. A truly fantastic read!
