No, I don’t want to be done with the Hope Springs series!! I love these characters!!

Christmas is just around the corner. Stella, owner of The Inn at Hope Springs Farms, wants nothing more than to finally marry her fiancée, Jack. But she has so much on her mind, especially an impending custody battle over her half-sister, Jazz, whose mother will stop at nothing to keep Stella from winning, which could lead to drastic circumstances.

Presley, the Inn’s event planner, will be spending her first Christmas since her mother died, and her musician boyfriend is on the road. She decides to throw her energy into planning a surprise wedding for Stella and Jack, but will this be the wedding of Stella’s dreams or her own?

Cecily, the Inn’s talented chef, is supposed to marry her boyfriend on Christmas Eve. But as the wedding draws closer, are they actually suited for each other, or are they getting married too soon? Cecily has to navigate her nervousness about her relationship with her anxiety about her job.

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells , the third in Ashley Farley’s Hope Springs series, tells all three stories. I feel like I’ve known these characters for a while, and even when they’re annoying me a little, I can’t get enough of them. Farley brings such warmth and joy to her books even when her characters are at low points, and that makes these books so enjoyable to read.

You could read this as a stand-alone, but I’d recommend starting with the first book, Dream Big, Stella! Hopefully you’ll fall in love with Hope Springs and Ashley Farley like I have.

So grateful to be on the blog tour for this book. Thanks to Kate Rock Book Tours and Ashley Farley for providing me with an advance copy of the book in exchange for an unbiased review!!

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells takes the reader back to the Inn at Hope Springs in this third book of the series. The three main characters all get their happily ever after endings but to get there is full of stress, secrets and mayhem. What a fantastic ending!

Stella, the general manager, is ready to marry Jack but first she needs to get total custody of her half-sister Jazz. Naomi, Jazz's mother, is causing havoc every chance she gets to keep Stella from gaining custody. Jack continues to work on their dream house and they are both ready to settle down as a family of three.

Pressley, the event manager, loves her job but misses her new boyfriend Everett who has gone to Nashville to try his luck as a country singer. The issues with her birth mother and the stress of Christmas season at the Inn are keeping her busy and then she decides to plan a surprise wedding for Stella which makes life even more hectic for her.

Cecily, the head chef, is planning to get married on Christmas Eve but she's having second thoughts. Is it wedding jitters or real issues that may keep them from getting married. On top of that, there is a new chef in her kitchen who is trying to take her job.

This is the third and last book in this series but I hope that Ashley decides to write more books about Hope Springs. I hate to say goodbye to the wonderful people that I've met there and would love to see the series continue.

Mistletoe And Wedding Bells
Hope Springs #3
By: Ashley Farley


REVIEW ☆☆☆☆

With Mistletoe And Wedding Bells, Ashley Farley's Hope Springs trilogy is complete. I am fortunate to have read all three books. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I recommend starting with the first book because everything will just make more sense. The characters continue through each book, and more are added. There is a good bit of background information that explains the who, what, when, etc.

I'm glad the series concludes at Christmas because the new year can be a fresh start for the characters. I know they're not real, but I have spent enough time in the world of Hope Springs to know and love most of them. I guess all my friends are fictional!

I can picture the twinkle lights and Christmas trees at the Inn. I feel the festive atmosphere, and I would love to really be there. Ashley Farley has captured the essence of the Christmas spirit not just descriptivly, but in the hearts of her wonderful characters. These strangers have become a family. This dilapidated place has become a beautiful haven. Such are the gifts of the season.

Stella, Presley and Cecily work hard and dream big. Individually, there are issues here and there to work out, but collectively, these women support and believe in each other in a most inspiring way. Are happy endings, perhaps a wedding, in the cards? Anything can happen at Hope Springs. Mistletoe And Wedding Bells has a few surprises in store. This is a story to savor with a warm cup of whatever you like and a fuzzy blanket. And, possibly, a cat. Enjoy!

it was lovely to meet all the people of Hope Springs.

It is a light, lovely story about friends and family secrets and relationships in a small town.

The Christmas time rush at the Inn brings on tensions, busy days, and balancing relationships.

I enjoyed reading this book 📖

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells by Ashley Farley

Book Three of the Hope Spring Series, Mistletoe and Wedding Bells is beautiful. What could possibly go wrong at the Hope Springs Farm? Stella is in love and planning to marry. Presley has her dream job of as the event planner and there is a man in her life. The head chef, Cecily, is planning her wedding. Beautiful things getting ready to happen and all around Christmas. So what could possibly go wrong? Too much.
You need to read Mistletoe and Wedding Bells to follow the lives of these three women. You will definitely be pleased that you did. BUT, if you have not read the first two books in this series go back and read them first, and in order.
These books are ones that if I could have sat and read all day, I would have. As it is, none took me very long.
Ashely Farley can’t write as fast as I read. (Her words.)

Ashley Farley has transported me to another great escape to the Inn at Hope Springs Farm in her third book in The Hope Springs Series. I enjoyed all three books in this wonderful series. You know a series is great when your sad it’s over.

Farley’s writting really transported me to winter in the mountains as they’re preparing for a busy Christmas season at the Inn.

Stella is going through a stressful custody case for her half sister Jazz. Naomi is not making things easy for Stella, Jazz, or herself in the process.

Cecily is getting married on Christmas Eve and as her wedding grows closer she’s having second thoughts on walking down the aisle.

Presley has to pull off her idea to plan a surprise wedding for Stella and Jack on Christmas day.

These women go through ups and downs along with the great ensemble of characters from the series. The story is full of heart, family, friendships, tragedy, secrets, along with a new furry friend in the mix set at Christmas time.

The series is wonderful! Each book is under 300 pages. You can read this one as a stand alone there is some background given however there are characters from book one and book two with a few storylines continuing which might not be as enjoyable without reading the other books first. No matter which book you start with you’ll want to read all three.

Book One: Dream Big, Stella! Book Two: Show Me The Way

Thank you Ashley Farley and Kate Rock Book Tours for my ARC of Show Me The Way and for having me be part of your wonderful book tour.

As always my reviews are my honest opinions and spoiler free!

Ashley Farley has crushed it again in this three-book series.  In this third book in the Hope Spring series, the story unfolds as Christmas is fast approaching. The  Inn is decorated, and many festive  activities are planned for the community.  Jazz is excited to be dancing in the opening scene in the Nutcracker, as well as living with Stella, her half-sister.  A wedding is being planned, a new romance is in the air and even a new puppy and a big Christmas surprise.   This is a beautiful story of a group of people that less than a year ago, didn’t even know each other and now feel like family.  Some are actually related, and others are not, but none of that matters, as they have all come together as one big family, supporting and loving one-another.  This book has many delightful moments, but also includes sad, tragic situations, as well as some perfectly planned surprises.   Without giving away any spoilers, the best description is this book will touch your heart all the way through and for me, it left me hoping there will be another book about Stella and her family of friends, who feel like my friends too.

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells is the third book in the Hope Spring series. Christmas is coming soon and the Inn is decorated for the holidays. Weddings are being planned, Jazz is getting to dance in the Nutcracker.
A beautiful story of family, friends who become family supporting each other through good and difficult times.
Couldn’t put the book down, so hard to say goodbye to these wonderful characters.
I wish Hope Springs was a real place so I could go to it!!

I received an ARC prior to publication and decided to voluntarily review it.

DREAMS, DISTRACTIONS & DESTINIES!

MISTLETOE AND WEDDING BELLES (Hope Springs Series Book 3) by acclaimed author Ashley Farley is full of Wishes, Wonders and Weddings! This novel is filled with the possibility of dreams coming true for several characters. Cecily is getting married on Christmas Eve but as Chef for Jameson’s (the exclusive Restaurant located in Hope Springs) she is much too busy to plan her wedding. Since Presley is the Event Planner for Hope Springs, she volunteers to take care of everything. Stella, the owner of Hope Springs, along with Presley kidnap Cecily and take her shopping for a Wedding Dress. While they’re shopping, Presley encourages Stella to try on a Wedding Dress she keeps eyeing as well. Stella is engaged but hasn’t set a date yet because of a complication with her step-sister, Jazz. Presley is in love, too, but Everett has recently relocated to Nashville where his career as a Country Singer is finally taking off.

As the Christmas Season descends upon Hope Springs, decorating the Inn is underway and it is beginning to look magical! As all of Farley’s characters start making plans for the season, the distractions start. Cecily and her man can’t seem to agree on anything. Stella’s step-sister’s mother is creating all manner of havoc in their lives and continues to show up at the Inn. A custody battle is ongoing but the constant altercations are difficult for Jazz. Presley and Everett reconnect and he really wants her to move to Nashville but she feels obligated to stay a while longer at Hope Springs.

As Presley had begun making plans for Cecily’s Wedding, Cecily told her she wanted something much simpler. Presley decided she would approach Stella’s fiancée Jack with a proposition. Why not plan a surprise Wedding for Stella on Christmas Day? Jack readily agreed! Now you have to read this fabulous novel to find out exactly how they managed to pull off these Beautiful Weddings! After all, what can go wrong when you have Bride & Groom families that have never met? Or, no Father to walk the Bride down the aisle? Or, what about a total Surprise Wedding that caught everyone unprepared? For each of the Brides and Grooms, they believed they found their soulmates and their destinies!

I was provided a complimentary copy of this novel by Leisure Time Books. The opinions expressed here are completely my own and without influence.

Head Chef, Cecily Weber is marrying the love her life, or she? After discovery of another side of her fiance, she questions whether or not she’s making a mistake. She’s a workaholic, successful she doesn’t want her personal life to screw up her career.

Head chef, Cecily Weber, will wed the love of her life on Christmas Eve. But when her fiancé shows an irresponsible side she’s never before seen, Cecily begins to have second doubts.

We get to enjoy a wonderful Christmas season at Hope Springs despite all the drama. Who is really going to live a life of happily ever after.

Just pull and tug on my heart strings Ashley!! I’ve said from the beginning, this series-Hope Springs, has a little sadness, mystery and a whole lotta love.

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells is the third and final in the series and while I’m sad, like without a doubt sad, I’m excited at the next series Ashley will create. Y’all, she’s absolutely brilliant, if you’ve never read her, she’s an absolute must read author, there’s never been a book I’ve read where she’s disappointed the reader. Most of all, she’s super sweet and down to earth!

So, let’s talk about Mistletoe and Wedding Bells. In Hope Springs, anything is possible, so let your mind wander and it’s conceivable to have a multitude of weddings at Christmastime, in a snowy, gorgeous backdrop. The characters each have their own pasts, their own regrets but, are full of life and ready for whatever life throws at them. There is a bit of sadness in this book but, with the kindness and love of the rest of the characters, it gives a good closing to such a beautiful series. Life is not perfect and that’s portrayed in each of these books but, the one thing we can do is Love one another and know that life is a beautiful thing and we have to treasure it.

Do yourself a favor and grab all three in this series and see if you don’t shed a happy or even sad tear. This last installment will be available in just a couple of days on October 27! I love, love, loved it!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn't think I could love Ashley's work more, but give me a holiday book infused with three amazing women, lovely secondary characters, some family drama, and weddings, and I'm a puddle of happiness! Farley's writing style is so easy and effortless, and Christmas weddings? Perfection! I loved catching up with all of my favorite Hope Springs regulars (Stella, Jack, Jazz, and Opal), and I also loved learning more about Cecily, Presley, and Lucy as they all encountered different challenges throughout this third novel.

I have absolutely loved the Hope Springs series, and there have been some rumors that this may not be the end, which makes my heart so happy! If you love Southern charm, women's fiction, family drama, idyllic small towns, and weddings, this book is definitely for you! Mistletoe and Wedding Bells can be read as a standalone, but you won't want to miss out on the wonderful writing, background, and fun of the preceding two novels, so make sure you snatch up all three today because I have a feeling you'll want to binge them!

Can't wait to say hi and congratulations tonight, @ashleyfarleyauthor! Thank you so much again to Ashley and @katerockbooktours for the chance to read this heartwarming novel - I can't wait for more!

Naomi barges into the Inn making a seen and she is ushered out Stella thought she had been drinking. The cops came and told Stella Naomi was killed in an accident. Stella had to plan a memorial for someone she despised.

Book 3 of 3 for our friends at Hope Springs!!! Since I'm a HUGE Christmas and Ashley Farley fan, I was looking forward to this book most of all in this series! And I was not disappointed!!

We are still dealing with Naomi, Jazz's evil mother, to the point I found myself so very angry that she existed!!! I won't say more for fear of spoilers of course!! But Naomi is not going away quietly!

We feel for Presley as she tries to have a good relationship with her birth mother Lucy. Luckily Presley is busy with Everett - and planning a surprise wedding for Stella and Jack! Jack is in on it too! Can they pull it off without Stella finding out??? You have to read it to find out!

Poor Cecily and Lyle are hitting some rough patches. I found myself frustrated FOR her but she held her own and I have hope for them! I think Lyle loves her very much!

I am sorry to see this series end, and we can only hope Ashley will hear our requests for "more Hope Springs, please!"

Yes definitely read them in order as others have said, and you will get the most enjoyment out of the series! I love series books as you can really dive in and enjoy the ride!

This book is the third book in the Hope Springs series. I have not read the first two books. This book can be read independently, but I did have a bit of a difficult time getting into the story. There are many characters and I had to write notes for myself on each character, who they are and how they are related to the others, before I could actually become involved in what was happening in the book. I do think knowing the history from the two prior books would have helped me greatly.

The plots in this book, as in Ashley Farley’s other books, deal with serious life issues along with romance. Her characters are often challenged to rise after having went through difficult situations. Each character is dealing with issues, but with the support of each other, they achieve a brighter future.

I enjoyed this book and definitely will be reading the first two books in the series.

I received this book from the author, as part of her fan book group. My review is my own opinion, not influenced by receiving the book from Georgia's Porch.

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells by Ashley Farley is the third book in the Hope Spring Series and completes the trilogy. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read them all so you get to know all the characters and how they fit. Ms. Farley does it again she has written a wonderful story which drew me right in, making me forget everything else and did not let me go until I turned the last page. I read well past my bedtime because I could not put the book down. I loved how the author described everything so vividly I was able to visualize the sparkling lights and feel the energy. This is very well written has well developed and likable characters. This is the book that will keep you totally engaged. This is the perfect romance with all the Christmas feels. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to Hope Springs but I am looking forward to the next series that Ms. Farley will write. Pick up this series you will not be disappointed. Thank you too the author for giving me the opportunity to read the early copy.

My Thoughts:

I waited until the last possible minute to read and review this book because I am emotionally distraught that the series is over (...FOR NOW!). I have adored reading the #HopeSpringsSeries and I *think* this may have been my favorite book. This is mostly due to the fact that the characters/storylines have evolved and made me fall in love with everyone even more. And while these are meant to be "romance" novels, they pack in so much more. The characters deal with very real topics like death, addiction/alcoholism, adoption, long distance relationships, etc. These characters are so real and relatable that they feel like your best friends. I am so grateful to #KateRockBookTours for introducing me to Ashely's novels. This feel-good series is a MUST READ in my opinion and I highly suggest reading them in order. I'll be interviewing Ashley on IG Live Sunday, November 8th at 11am ET - I'd love to see you there!

[Susan (The Book Bag) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mistletoe and Wedding Bells is the perfect story to read right now. It's full of Christmas, weddings, friendships, and love. I just finished reading books 1-3 of this amazing series to prepare for book #4, which comes out in January. This was a wonderful way to read these books. I became totally immersed in Stella's life and the interesting world and people of Hope Springs. Stella unexpectedly inherits her father's property and we get to watch as she struggles with trying to make it a success. Friends—and enemies—are made as she pour her heart and soul into the place.

The women of the Hope Spring Inn bond together and help each other through the tough times. It was wonderful watching relationships develop, some for the good and some—not so much. I came to feel like I was a part of the group and enjoyed my time at the Inn so much.

I absolutely love this series and highly recommend it. I'm excited for book #4 to hit the shelves!

[Karen Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

During this pandemic time, I especially enjoyed Ashley Farley’s third book in her Hope Springs Farm series. Mistletoe and Wedding Bells gives us a front row view of the changing of Hope Springs Farm and Inn from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. I enjoyed seeing Stella, her fiancé, Jack, and her half sister, Jazz, grow their relationship into more of a family one, while Jazz is recovering from a troubled and abusive past.

There were many, mostly female, characters that had very intricately involved relationships which helped to develop the story, but I found myself a bit overwhelmed trying to keep them straight...especially how they were related to each other. It seemed sometime to be a bit too coincidental.

I appreciate being given the opportunity to read and review an ARC of the book. And the opinions that I gave were honest and truly my own.

[Cathy Garrison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ashley Farley delivers a wonderful Christmas story that has tragic and very realistic problems intertwined. Hope Springs is a place I would love to live and Stella is the kind of friend and boss I could see myself having in my life. Stella and Jack’s love for each other and Jazz is remarkable and inspiring. But it’s this love that makes them real and makes the reader smile and root for them. This was a Christmas story that warmed the reader and also took this reader on emotional journey with the realistic issues of mental disease and addiction. Ashley Farley did not disappoint with the end and all I can say is pick up this can’t put down holiday story. You won’t be disappointed and you will be smiling at the end. Happy Holidays! Thank you to the publisher for my requested copy of this book and the review is truly my own and honest opinion.

[Mary]

I just finished Mistletoe and Wedding Bells and feel like it was a great conclusion to the Hope Springs series by Ashley Farley! The book takes place during the Christmas season on the farm, and we look forward to one character's wedding on Christmas Eve. There is some drama leading up to that, and we actually get two weddings instead of one. Lots going on for several different plot points in this series. For the most part, this series ends with a lot of happiness. If you've come to love the characters from this series the way that I have, you will definitely love this book! Another great series by Ashley Farley.

The perfect finale to a great series. Mistletoe and Wedding Bells is the third book of the Hope Springs Farm series, and it does not disappoint. This light hearted story grabs your attention right away and you can’t put it down! What is better than love and a wedding, but will Cecily go on with her wedding with her doubts running wild. Will Stella finally be able to make a commitment on a wedding day for her and Jack? Event planner, Presley sure has her hand full with all this going on, how will her love life stand up to all this? The surprise twist at the end is great! Read the entire series.

[Sydney Hopke · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great ending to this series! It's Christmas time and everyone is getting ready for the holidays at the Inn. This year there are surprises, secrets (good ones!), some sad moments but with everything the characters are the best. The group has made themselves a family and they come together in the best possible ways when one needs them.
Of course there's issues, a book wouldn't be any good if everything is all good, but it all comes together in the end.
The author does a great job telling their stories and making the reader feel like they're a part of it all. So go vising in Hope Springs!

[Paula Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love how this book focuses on all three of the Hope Springs women, Stella, Presley & Cecily, during the holiday season! There’s lots of family drama for each of them as well as their romantic lives. All three thinking about weddings, while balancing their work at the inn and everything happening in their personal lives. All through this, they have a bond and support each other.

Once again, Ashley has created a tale of women that is irresistible. She has the perfect way of writing strong female characters that have real life problems. You are immediately pulled in and feel like you’re one of their girlfriends going through it all with these amazing women.

This is book 3 of the Hope Spring Series. What could possibly go wrong at the Hope Springs Farm? Stella is in love and planning to marry. Presley is working her dream job of event planner and there is a man in her life. Cecily, the head chef, is planning her wedding. This is the first book I have read in the series and I liked the story. It was fairly clean, although it was made clear that at least one couple was sleeping together. I felt that didn't really add to the story and wasn't really necessary. I liked the little girl and felt bad for her with all the drama caused by one family member. I received a copy of the book and this is my honest review.
