Take a stroll down Serendipity Lane, breath in the beautiful fragrances of the flowers from the florist, take in the beauty of the castle and see if you can spot the love in the air...
After years of juggling long hours at work, studying for her dream vocation and struggling for money it’s finally time for change.
Following her dream to become a florist, Sadie Locke moves her two daughters, Lily and Poppy, into The Flower Shop on Serendipity Lane.
Discovering that her ex-husband’s friend and divorce solicitor, Alex Marshal, works next door, Sadie feels her hopes of a fresh start quickly slipping away.
Pushed together at a mutual friend’s wedding, will Sadie and Alex be able to rekindle a lost friendship or realise too much has come between them?
Will Sadie let the past define her future love life, or will she be able to give romance a chance, and will a lost dog Lily finds be the welcome distraction to help them all adapt to village life?
This is not a book I liked. I know it’s supposed to be kinda lite, easy, and pleasant but I found it much too annoying. Sadie and her two daughters getting a restart should have been entertaining and captivating. The two egocentric daughters were oblivious to anyone else’s feelings or needs around them. I kept expecting some character development from the kids. Last night it hit me Sadie never said “no” to the girls, that drove me crazy and she was kinda sanctimonious. I was lacking the answers I needed to make this satisfy. Like why was the ex was so willing to screw over her and the kids. Frustrating and completely not satisfying.
I fell for Sadie immediately (and her daughters), so this sweet love story was a quick read. Loved how gentle the author was — nothing but compassion and realness around the pain of divorce, while still giving us a believable HEA.
This was a great book. I loved all the characters, the dog, the back and forwards of the story with the usual very Happy Ending. If you want to be entertained, read this series.
This was a nice, relaxing read but not a lot going on and boring if not in the mood for a cozy simple read. I wasn’t dying to pick it up and keep reading. Also the romance was disappointing for me. I feel like there wasn’t any chemistry or personality shown.
Just like a Hallmark movie, a single moms struggling trying is trying to make a better life for her children, runs a small business and falls in love. Cute story.
I give The Flower Shop on Serendipity Lane 3 out of 5 bacon buttys
3.5 rounded up. I love Sarah Hope but this I like some of her other books more than I did this one. I enjoyed the warmth that is her trademark, but felt the characters could have had more depth and the plot a few more twists and turns to keep it tight. Definitely a feel-good, charming read.
