A lovely read that was a bit sad in places but reminds us all not to give up on love - it can happen! Something for people to look forward to. Well written.

This one was a lovely read. I really enjoyed reading this one. I just love this kind of books.
4 stars read for me

A real feel good read
Very uplifting a story of love and loss
Will have you hooked from the first page
Thanks NetGalley

Families, friendship and finding love all wrapped up in one book!!! Lisa Hobson bought all this together in one book and I really enjoyed it from page 1 right to the very last page. I was transported as the descriptions had me stood in the village watching everyone from afar.

I'm a huge fan of this author, I am from Scotland and her books always remind me of home, a lovely gentle read and I always love books where characters from the author's other books pop up, great to curl up with and lose yourself in the village of Glentorrin

Thank you to the publisher, netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this eARC, I feel so blessed to be able to have critical conversations about great books and recommend books to my book club.

This is a general fiction romance book following Caitlin who runs the bakery and her path to love. This is a beautifully written novel and as I have not read Lisa's books before I was nervous as many people like her books but I was surprised I liked it so much usually romance books bore me but this did not.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters and setting were brought to life by the author’s descriptions and I warmed to them all (apart from two unlikeable characters). A touching story about families, friendship and finding love when it’s been right in front of you all along.
I loved the cameo appearance of Isla, a character from another Lisa Hobson book which I have enjoyed reading in the past, so it was lovely to catch up with what has been happening with her (and I’m hoping there’ll be a book on the horizon featuring Isla with how this one ended).
It was lovely to have the story continue after the main characters got together. Mostly books end just as they finally get together, but this one kept going so we were able to witness the next stage in their relationship, which was lovely to read.
A thoroughly enjoyable book & a perfect summer read.

I love this series by Lisa Hobman which is set on the Isle of Skye . Caitlin is a single mom by choice, and finally decides it's time to consider entering the dating scene, although things don't go well until she dates single dad Lyle. But there is always her friend Archie, ready to pick up the pieces, as well as dealing with a life changing event of his own. Great story, great character development and a sweet romance.

oh wow oh wow oh WOW!!!!! I will go straight to the point here! This book is EXCELLENT, it's a 5 stars out of 5 and even more!!!! I loved this book so so much! I am so happy i have read it! I don't give 5 stars to a book easily but this out totally deserve it! If you are looking for a well written romance this book is for you!!!

Everyone deserves a second chance at happiness right? Caitlin has put her daughter Grace first for the past thirteen years. It is time for to return to the dating scene..
Addicted to this book… As soon as I started to read, I just knew that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down… One hell of a rollercoaster ride.

Set on the beautiful Island of Skye, 'Wishing under a starlit Skye' is about single mum Caitlin who runs and owns her own bakery. As her daughter Grace becomes a teenager, Caitlin decides it's time to start thinking about romance for herself. Preferring face to face meets, she avoids dating apps and tries both speed dating and a singles night.
she starts dating Lyle ,her daughters friends father, and all seems perfect until her friend Archie needs Caitlin and Graces help to deal with a surprise from the past.
This is a beautiful book, set in a gorgeous village with some wonderful characters.

A heartwarming read which was pure escapism. This is a standalone book , I haven’t read the earlier book but in no way did it defract from my enjoyment of this one . Beautiful descriptions of Skye, believable characters, and a great plot , loved Caitlin’s story.
A really enjoyable book which I would highly recommend
Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and Lisa Hobman for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

I thoroughly enjoyed Dreaming Under a Starlit Skye, so I was delighted to be invited onto the tour for another visit to Glentorrin. You do glimpse some familiar characters but this novel centres on Caitlin's quest for romance. She is at a point in her life where her daughter has grown a little more independent and she is ready to meet some new people. You find out quite soon that Caitlin is an independent thinker and that family means everything to her. In fact, creating a family has been a driving force.
You can totally picture the community of Glentorrin and the characters who live there. As before, I found it to be an appealing place with much to offer and felt welcomed in. Not everyone is without fault, of course, so Caitlin has to tread carefully. Families are not always conventional but the emotions at their centre rang true. This is an enjoyable and entertaining read with a glorious setting and some surprises along the way.

In short: Friends and family are everything
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the book

This was a beautiful cosy read which was perfect escapism. I read it in one sitting late into the night as couldn’t put it down. This was so much more than a romance story with very relatable and believable characters which also covered a lot of life changing topics in a very sensitive way.

This book made me laugh and cry in equal measure and was such a heartwarming read.

I hadn’t read the previous book in this series but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all and thoroughly looking forward to the next instalment to see where Caitlin and Archie journey takes them and that of the other characters.

I really loved the first book in this series and this one was just as brilliant! I loved the descriptions of the Isle of Skye and catching up with old characters as well as new. Such a lovely story and I was really rooting for Caitlin and Archie right from the start. I highly recommend this book to everyone that loves a feel good romance.

Absolutely amazing took my breath away , author really know how to draw you in. From the first page I was hooked, took me 2 days to read

I love Lisa Hobman’s stories and always really connect with the characters and get reminded of why I love to read! This book was no different. I smiled, I laughed and I may have shed a tear here and there.

In this book, Wishing Under The Starlit Skye, we are back in the small village called Glentorrin where Ruby now lives and we get to hear the local bakery Caitlin Fraser’s story.

Glentorrin was also the setting of Lisa Hobman’s Dreaming Under an Island Skye which tells the story of Caitlin’s best friend Jules. I have yet to read that one and despite already knowing how it will end as Jules reappears in both Ruby’s and Caitlin’s stories I still really want to read it to experience the full story.

Wishing under a Starlit skye by Lisa Hobman.
Glentorrin bakery owner, and lone parent, Caitlin Fraser, is single and finally ready to mingle. With her daughter, Grace, about to become a teenager, and her friends all settling down, Caitlin decides she deserves a shot at happiness too. Resisting the pull of dating apps, Caitlin embarks upon a series of disastrous singles events where she bumps into fellow villager, and astronomy buff, Archie Sutherland, who is nursing his own past secrets. When Grace’s best friend’s father, handsome Lyle Budge, asks Caitlin to dinner, things progress quickly and she has a taste of what their future as a family could be, much to both their daughters delight! But when Archie makes a shocking discovery, and he turns to Caitlin for help, she soon discovers Lyle isn’t the sharing type, meaning prickly ultimatums loom for everyone. Will wishing upon the stars over Glentorrin help Caitlin to figure out her way forward? Or is her hunt for romance like a once in a lifetime comet, easily missed in the blink of an eye?
A very good read with good characters. I loved the cover. 4*.

Heart-warming, comforting and gloriously uplifting, Lisa Hobman hits all the right notes with her latest novel, Wishing Under a Starlit Skye.

The time has come for single mother Caitlin to dip her toes into the dating pool again. With her daughter about to become a teenager and her friends all settling down, Caitlin is determined to take a shot at happiness and find her own Mr Right, but she absolutely refuses to go down the route of dating apps and instead hopes to meet her match at singles event. Sadly, however, Prince Charming seems keen to give these events a very wide berth. However, she does find herself crossing paths with fellow villager and astronomy buff Archie Sutherland, who has secrets of his own…

When her daughter’s best friend’s father Lyle Budge asks her out to dinner, Caitlin is immediately intrigued. Charming, handsome and someone who has her daughter’s seal of approval, Lyle seems to tick all the right boxes – until Archie makes a shocking discovery that forces her to see Lyle in a completely different light. Is Lyle the man for her? Or has Caitlin been looking for happiness in all the wrong places?

Is romance on the cards for Caitlin? Is the man of her dreams out there? Or has she missed her chance at happiness?

Lisa Hobman’s Wishing Under a Starlit Skye is a delightful romantic tale readers are going to love! Warm-hearted, witty and enjoyable, Wishing Under a Starlit Skye is an engaging, emotional and entertaining read with a wonderful heroine, charismatic heroes, eccentric characters and plenty of humour and heart to keep readers riveted to the page.

A lovely romantic escape perfect for chasing the winter blues away, Lisa Hobman’s Wishing Under a Starlit Skye delivers on all counts.

Lisa Hobman's village of Glentorrin on the Isle of Skye has become one of my favorite fictional places to visit. With each new book set there I feel like I'm catching up with old friends, meeting a few new ones, and welcomed back with warm hugs. It was fun catching up with couples from the first two books and meeting new villagers with future story potential.

I've been looking forward to Caitlin's story and it did not disappoint. I loved the development of the characters in this book as well as the evolution of Caitlin's relationships. Her forays into dating at 40 were frequently humorous, sometimes awkward, and very relatable. I enjoyed the twists and turns her journey took. Of course, nothing you do in Glentorrin is done in a vacuum which means everyone feels they have a stake in the outcome of Caitlin's new adventures, including her friends and her 13-year-old daughter, Grace. All of it comes from a place of love though and they all have Caitlin's best interests at heart.

I really enjoyed Grace, an evolving character who has a journey of her own. She and Caitlin have always been a team of two. Allowing new people into their family requires changes and the way those changes unfold (with some surprising twists) were both heart-tugging and uplifting.

Archie stole my heart with his generous, caring nature. This is a man anyone would be blessed to have for a friend. I was surprised by a twist that occurred as a result of friendship but wouldn't have expected any less from this character. I really enjoyed his slowly-deepening friendship with both Caitlin and Grace. He's a gem and I was in his corner, cheering him on the entire way.

If you enjoy close-knit communities, mature characters, plenty of humor and heart, some surprising twists, and well-deserved happy endings, check out Wishing Under a Starlit Skye. It can be enjoyed as a standalone but I also recommend Dreaming Under an Island Skye and Under an Italian Skye. Characters from both of the earlier books figure prominently in this one.
