It was so good to revisit Hedgehog hollow and Sam and Josh and all the drama the little hedgehogs bring.

I was still routing for Sam and Joshs relationship and was glad to know it was going well. They seem to be a strong and lovely couple, so loving and care so much for one another.

After the trouble she had in 'Finding love at hedgehog hollow', it's really Sad that poor Sam is still getting trouble from the attackers. It would really frighten me in that situation but she has some amazing people around her and they always rally round and help when needed.

I really connected with Fizz's character and she was definitely in the right place at the right time. It seems like serendipity that they met and that Fizz knows so many people that she can get on board with things. She's a really exciteable character but she was calm and level headed when Sam needed her to be.

I always love a happy book, there are parts of this book that are sad and I welled up a couple of times but for the most part it's a happy one and I loved it.

I really enjoyed learning about hedgehogs in this book because in the first one Sam is getting to grips with things but in this one Sam and the author explain more about whats happening with the rescue hedgehogs.

It's a lovely heartwarming story and a the saving of hedgehogs and other wildlife is something close to my heart so I love it all the more.

I'm always cautious reading a sequel to a book I loved in case it doesn't quite have the same magic but I can definitely say that's not the case here! The sequel to 'Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow' is set the day after the previous novel finishes and is just as magical, enjoyable and unputdownable as the the first!

I warmed even more to the character of Samantha and it was great to see the other reoccurring characters such as her Dad, her friends and Josh popping up again too throughout.

I flew through this book and had to force myself to put it down to go to bed last night (and to go back to work after lunch). I can't wait to start Book 3.

I loved it! Not as much as the first one, but the cute vibes are still here and it's still so wholesome!

Although there are a few bits that are minorly graphic, but otherwise, a delightful read!

Samantha has achieved her dream as owner of The Hedgehog Hollow Rescue Centre she has also met her perfect man in Josh so everything is perfect right ?

This was my first trip to Hedgehog Hollow but not my first Jessica Redland book so I knew I was in for a treat. When Beth who is Josh’s ex turns up he is upset and angry and after what she did with his Father it is hardly surprising. Samantha is lovely with the Hedgehogs and she is desperate to make a difference. She starts to feel dizzy and Josh is worried that she is overdoing things.

Josh and Sam both have had bad relationships and they are devoted to each other. I loved the nods to Whitsborough Bay which I love. When Beth turns up again things take a dramatic turn when Beth collapses and Josh ends up having to see his estranged Father again. Samantha’s attachment to her Hedgehogs is heartwarming and emotional at times.

This is another fabulous book from Jessica she writes so dramatically about families and relationships it hooks you into the story and you need to keep on reading. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and it was such a welcome escape from these challenging times.

This is the second book in the series and is a brilliant follow on to Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow.

She thinks she can manage both the rescue centre and working full time at the local university until the amount of hoglet’s increases and she finds it difficult to manage both. She doesn’t want to let anyone down but with support from her boyfriend Josh and both their families they decide she must concentrate on the hedgehogs, A book about relationships and sacrifices that have to made in order to succeed.

A great second book of the series. While it is better to read the books in order to get the best experience, their is a very helpful summary at the beginning updating readers on what happened in the first story. While this is very detailed and gives a grate summary of the story it is still not the same as reading the actual book as it does carry on from where the first one ended. Again this one was fantastic, although they have been through a lot sammy and Josh’s capacity to forgive was amazing. The support they provided each other and received from the secondary characters in the book was lovely. I liked the fact that the romance was a small part of the plot and the main focus was them trying to better understand and work through the issues with their own families. I really enjoyed learning more about the care of the hedgehogs and how they were all named with a theme in mind. Snoop hoggy hogg gets the prise though. I haven’t been too well over the bank holiday weekend so this series has been fantastic to read. I can’t wait to read the other two books and continue the story.
