I’ve read the three books leading up to this book， once again I am drawn into a world where the characters （most of them） are filled with compassion and love。 I can’t wait for the next one！

This is the fourth edition of the Hedgehog Hollow series， and the first one I have read - a situation I would love to remedy quickly！ Based in the dreamy countryside of Yorkshire Wolds， this delightful book reads like a visit with friends， an extended “family” of wonderful characters whose adventures， romances， secrets and hardships are intertwined throughout the series。 Each book features our main protagonist， Samantha Wishaw， with a deeper dive into the and background surrounding family member This is the fourth edition of the Hedgehog Hollow series， and the first one I have read - a situation I would love to remedy quickly！ Based in the dreamy countryside of Yorkshire Wolds， this delightful book reads like a visit with friends， an extended “family” of wonderful characters whose adventures， romances， secrets and hardships are intertwined throughout the series。 Each book features our main protagonist， Samantha Wishaw， with a deeper dive into the and background surrounding family members， some more prominent than others in each edition。Sam herself is a lovely lady - a former district nurse now running a hedgehog rescue operation in a farm donated to her by a generous （and now deceased） patron。 Sam is a wonderful protagonist - sensitive and deeply caring， vulnerable， estranged from a difficult mother （with great difficulty， Sam has learned to set boundaries and not to be a pushover）， and working hard to combat PTSD which has developed after a series of violent attacks， which are described in more detail in previous books。 The story alternates between two first person narrative streams - Sam herself， and Phoebe， a volunteer at the rescue center， an accountant in training， and a young woman （18 years old） with a whole lot of trauma and pain already crammed into one short and difficult life。Without giving the plot away， the author manages to balance a host of difficult and dark issues， （including child abuse， sexual assault， PTSD） with an abundance of kindness， compassion， and love - somehow managing to create a poignant and heartwarming hug of a book， where at the end of the day， hedgehogs （including even the tiniest of hoglets） are safely nurtured back to health， goodness outweighs evil， and the door is always open （sensibly， comfortably， and only with mutual respect） for anyone needing a friend。 I can’t wait to read more in this charming series - the antidote to whatever ails you - gifted to the reader in both a wonderfully light and satisfyingly substantive package。A great big thank you to the author and the publisher for an ARC of this book。 All thoughts presented are my own。 @Boldwoodbooks #boldwoodbloggers 🦔🦔🦔 。。。more

I absolutely love the Hedgehog Hollow series and this book did not disappoint。 A wedding at hedgehog hollow was so heartwarming， I'm not ashamed to admit I got teary eyed in some places， but also sat with a big daft grin reading other parts of the book。 Another fantastic addition to the series which as always with Jessica's books has left me wanting more。 I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series I absolutely love the Hedgehog Hollow series and this book did not disappoint。 A wedding at hedgehog hollow was so heartwarming， I'm not ashamed to admit I got teary eyed in some places， but also sat with a big daft grin reading other parts of the book。 Another fantastic addition to the series which as always with Jessica's books has left me wanting more。 I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series 。。。more

After reading this book， I'm fascinated with hedgehogs！ That's because that little animal isn't just a word in the title of the book， but it's also the passion of the heroine， Samantha， who runs a rescue and rehabilitation program for injured hedgehogs。 I learned so much about these little creatures reading this book。 A little background on the story （told in one of the earlier books in the series）。 Samantha inherits a piece of land with a large house with several buildings， including a barn， on After reading this book， I'm fascinated with hedgehogs！ That's because that little animal isn't just a word in the title of the book， but it's also the passion of the heroine， Samantha， who runs a rescue and rehabilitation program for injured hedgehogs。 I learned so much about these little creatures reading this book。 A little background on the story （told in one of the earlier books in the series）。 Samantha inherits a piece of land with a large house with several buildings， including a barn， on it。 The property used to belong to an older man who was lonely since his beloved wife had died。 In her visits to the man， Samantha learned that his wife always dreamed of turning their farm into a hedgehog rescue， but she died before making it come true。 So when Sam inherits the land， she decides that she will fulfill the wife's wishes。 But she runs into many problems， not the least being distant relatives of the woman， who believe the property should belong to them。 They even try to scare her off by setting fire to one of the buildings。 In this book， Sam has overcome many of her earlier difficulties and has met the man of her dreams -- a local vet -- and they are preparing to get married。 But tragedy strikes again。 Sam discovers that all of her savings -- put aside so she could buy food and supplies for the hedgehogs -- has been stolen。 Worst of all， it appears the money was stolen the quiet， shy young accounting student she hired to handle the rescue's books。 Samantha did not realize that the accounting student was related to the disgruntled relatives who felt the farm and land should be theirs。 But this isn't just a case of someone taking advantage of Sam's trust。 The girl has her own tragic story， which unfolds throughout the book。 Although this story is titled "The Wedding at Hedgehog Hollow，" the wedding itself plays a small role in the story。 The real story is the people surrounding Sam -- their stories， their hurts， their troubles。 We see them grow and overcome those problems， in part because of Sam's care and commitment。I really enjoyed the story， but I do have one recommendation。 I had only read the first story in the series， and much of this book hints at other stories in the series。 So， at times it was frustrating to me to read bits and pieces of backstories that were developed in earlier books。 I felt like I wanted to know more of those stories。 So I definitely recommend you read the stories in order to avoid this frustration。Can't wait to read more books by Jessica Redland。 She's becoming one of my favorite authors！Thank you to Netgalley， the publishers and the author for providing a copy of this book in return for a fair and unbiased review。 。。。more

I'm so in love with the Hedgehog Hollow series。 Is it wishful thinking that I will be keeping my fingers crossed for "A Baby at Hedgehog Hollow" next？ I do hope so。。。。。。。 The main character Samantha is stronger than she believes and is coping with the effects of PTSD; Jessica has certainly written true to life events for the characters depending on their personas。 Brilliantly heart-warming although I did need some tissues a couple of times！ I'm so in love with the Hedgehog Hollow series。 Is it wishful thinking that I will be keeping my fingers crossed for "A Baby at Hedgehog Hollow" next？ I do hope so。。。。。。。 The main character Samantha is stronger than she believes and is coping with the effects of PTSD; Jessica has certainly written true to life events for the characters depending on their personas。 Brilliantly heart-warming although I did need some tissues a couple of times！ 。。。more

Absolutely brilliant as always couldn’t put this book down lots of surprises can’t wait for next one as always

worth the wait。I have read each of Ms。 Redland’s book and have impatiently waited for the next installment of the Hedgehog lady Sam and her fiancé。 The end of the last book left us hanging a bit， and why I don’t mind a tickler to peak interest this was not a small one， in fact， left too much hanging。I was drawn in to the new character Phoebe， her story is one sad tale。 The research was excellent， the storyline sadden me。 Another lost soul for Sam to help。 The fact， （spoiler alert）， that she is r worth the wait。I have read each of Ms。 Redland’s book and have impatiently waited for the next installment of the Hedgehog lady Sam and her fiancé。 The end of the last book left us hanging a bit， and why I don’t mind a tickler to peak interest this was not a small one， in fact， left too much hanging。I was drawn in to the new character Phoebe， her story is one sad tale。 The research was excellent， the storyline sadden me。 Another lost soul for Sam to help。 The fact， （spoiler alert）， that she is relative by marriage to the Grimes family added intrigue， but also added to profound sadness。 I was surprised that with all the trauma this very young person faced that she found time to figure out she was gay。 I am not sure if it was written in such a way to provide another bit of sadness to the character or to provide another story line for the next book。I was surprised that so many people in this young girls life were mean， including one that I though was her support system。Sam’s cousin Chloe and Sam’s Mother are back， each added more stress to Sam， who is already suffering from PTSD。 I like Sam was hoping for a happy ending for her beloved father。 I presume that will be addressed in another book。 There are many moments of pure joy for Sam， and I hope you enjoy the wedding and venue。 The spirit of the Community does leave a wonderful peace in your heart especially during the holidays。 I hope the next book comes quickly， there’s so much more I want addressed。 Looking forward to Lauren’s story line， and would love a bit more on Sam’s good friends。 I hope you enjoy the continuation of Sam’s journey at Hedgehog Hollow。 Hats off to Ms。 Redland， you have left this reader wanting more。 。。。more
