Publisher's Summary

Can love really be found when you stop looking for it?

As Samantha Wishaw watches the love of her life marry another woman, she’s ready to give up hope of finding her happy ever after.

But when a chance encounter leads Sam to find friendship in Thomas - a lonely, grumpy elderly widower living at derelict Hedgehog Hollow - her life is about to change forever.

Glad to have a distraction from family feuds and match-making, Sam vows to fulfill Thomas and his wife Gwendoline's dreams of restoring Hedgehog Hollow to its former glory and to open a hedgehog rescue centre.

Throwing herself into the task at hand, little does Sam realise that the keys to love and happiness may also be found at Hedgehog Hollow, when she least expects it.

Escape to Hedgehog Hollow this summer with top 10 best seller Jessica Redland for the perfect uplifting, feel-good listen.

Just... ugh

Way too much angst. Sam is completely spineless and enables her families bad behaviour (borderline emotional abuse) dreadfully. I wouldn't have so much of an issue if the author dealt with the theme responsibly. Chloe and Sam's mother are narcissistic and abusive in their treatment of Sam, but it all just gets swept under the carpet by Sam. The message seems to be that Sam is better person for allowing her family to continue to treat her like dirt, rather than Sam is a victim in desperate need of a relational detox. Instead of a light read, all this angst turns this book into an exercise in frustration.

Protagonist was painful

Horrible voice or narrator which drove me to Distraction.
I could not finish listening to story as the mother/daughter relationship infuriated me. The daughter needed to stand up to her mother.
Feeling frustrated.

Good but.....

If Sam had a back bone and didn't allow herself to be treated so terribly by soooo sooooo sooooooooooo many people this book could have been really good. I'm sick to death of authors always making their female characters such terrible door mats.
And what the hell was the deal with her mum!?!?!

Ended up loving it!

For the first third of this book I was frustrated as hell!! Sammy’s story was so sad and I was mad with her family, but also annoyed at her for not speaking up for herself and getting outta there. But I ended up loving the story and I totally want to visit hedgehog hollow! The voice actor for this book was good, but perhaps not the right choice for Sammy as I could imagine her with a younger sounding voice seeing as she was 29.

Comforting cosy read

I love a good romance where the FMC and the MMC have been through it and this book delivered.
Her mother was vile, but the family were nuts to tolerate that, but it made for a great emotive drive for the main character and her happiness.

Really boring

First time ever a romance novel has made me feel ill when describing intimacy. Dreadful.
