This book was... okay. I found it hard to get properly stuck into it or interested to be honest as I felt it was quite predictable. Her love interest is sweet and ticks all the right boxes but does feel a little intense, especially as a somewhat single mum. That being said, was an easy, calm read.

I loved this book so much, it was such an easy going book which flowed along and was full a sunshine and lots of yummy sweets. I do hope there is another one in the pipeline as I do enjoy these books. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

A cosy summer romance. How lovely to find a book about blended families that work rather than one full of animosity! Plenty of goings on to keep you hooked, a lovely book.

Author Hannah Lynn writes with love. In A Summer Wedding at the Second Chances Sweet Shop, the titular shop proprietor Holly Berry is busy managing her business and helping her friends, Jamie and Finn, put the finishing touches on their perfect wedding. Right off, with visions of a big ceremony and candy on the menu, warm feelings of love practically seeps off the page. From these first moments, there's a joyous effect that Lynn never quite lets go away.

Still, not everything is all champagne and confetti. When her ususally long-distance boyfriend, Evan, jets into town, Holly becomes apprehensive about showing him off to her family. Everything has to be perfect, and it's this type of nervous energy that propels Holly through much of the story. To be fair, Lynn provides plenty for Holly to be nervous about. While Holly and her ex-husband are on good terms as they co-parent their daughter together, the last thing she wants is for him and his partner to be invited to Evan's first meeting with the family—so of course that's exactly what her mother does.

Holly's reaction to this, as well as so many other moments in the book, provides ample tension. Yet Lynn writes with such positivity that these bits are often quickly smoothed over. The new boyfriend and the ex become downright friendly with each other, which is unsurprising considering Evan is affable to the point of being swoon-worthy. With a lesser writer, the ease with which some problems are moved past might cause the story to fizzle out. That's not the case here at all. Lynn writes with such a sweetness that feels real without ever teetering into saccharine territory. The result is an almost slice-of-life peek into the developing love story of Holly and Evan. It's a careful balancing act and Lynn nails it.

That's not to suggest there aren't bigger problems, and even Lynn's obvious love for these characters doesn't save all of them from serious heartbreak. And because of the brightness she uses throughout the book, it causes these moments to hit all the harder. While it works entirely on its own, this is the sixth book in the series, and knowledge of previous titles will also deepen the impact of some of these revelations. Either way: my advice? Keep some tissues handy.

Because, at its rich center, A Summer Wedding at the Second Chances Sweet Shop is a celebration of love. New love, old love, and all love in-between. Love of family. Love of friends. Love of a remarkable past and an even brighter future. Perhaps most fittingly, love of chocolate and all other sorts of delectable treats.

Love is abundant on every page of this book. What's more charming than that?

Thank you to Hannah Lynn, NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC!

Such a cute cozy romance with awesome characters. Such a great back drop for the story. And such a great series. Probably my favorite one! I loved the love story!

LOVE this series, love this book the best of all of them!!! Such a great tie together of the previous books and such great writing!!! Loved it, ten stars!!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I enjoyed reading this book, as well as the ones before this one.

It was lovely to be back with the characters, in this story, Holly is still leading a busy life, with running her sweet shop, looking after her little daughter Hope and now she’s assisting to organise the wedding of her friend Jamie and Finn’s wedding.

Her boyfriend Evan who is anlso busy is coming for a short visit, he’ll be meeting her parents and her daughter, Holly is nervous, as it’s the first time.

Holly feels that there’s something that her mother isn’t being truthful about, and wonders how to find out the truth.

It was lovely to see how everyone in the community is there for one another in times of need. .

I recommend this book.

Book Review: A Summer Wedding at Second Chances Sweet Shop. Book Six in the Series
Stars: 3 X 5
Author: Hannah Lynne

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Holly is a single mom to Hope. She moves to this small town Cotswold and she owns a sweet shop. Holly is helping her friends Fin and Jamie plan their wedding. I liked Holly and Hope but when I originally requested this book I thought it was going to be more about the wedding. This did not happen. This was more about Holly and not much about the wedding.. The story of Holly was sweet but I just needed more from this book.

Thank you to Hannah Lynn, NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the arc of this gorgeous Ebook.

A beautiful cozy romance with loveable characters and scenery that makes you long for warm sunny days. Love this series. Highly recommend.

This is such a lovely book that I became totally absorbed in. I haven’t read any of the others in the series but that doesn’t matter as this can easily be read as a standalone. Holly has a busy life with 9 month old Hope and running her sweet shop, plus helping to organise friends Jamie and Fin’s wedding. American, and extremely busy, boyfriend Evan visits, meeting Hope and her family. Things are going really well but Holly knows that Evan will have to leave again soon. Holly’s life has plenty of ups and downs which are actually the main focus of the book. Although at points I found this a little predictable it really didn’t matter as it was full of friendship, community, romance and hope. I loved how everyone supported each other and thought that Holly was a realistic character. Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC

Unfortunately this book wasn’t for me. I felt it was a bit cheesy. I loved the set up of a sweet shop, but found the rest of the story boring. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the others in order to tie into the story, but I was just bored.

Fantastic instalment of the sweet shop series.
Holly is moving on and Ben is proving to be a great co parent, but Holly is nervous going off on Jamis and Finns stay/hen trip. She meets Evan who is rich helpful gorgeous and ticks all the boxes but she meets a face from the past and it all goes mad. People have been keeping secrets from her and she’s trying to do it all herself as usual. Another great visit to all the gang and hoping for a new visit soon
Brilliant read

Ahhhh I've loved everything about this book and this series.

Holly has been on a journey from the start of this series and this book rounded everything off nicely. It was the perfect icing on the cake.

Hannah Lynn has become an instant read author for me and I've loved this series and the Wildflower Lock series and I can't wait to see what comes next.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Summer Wedding at the Second Chances Sweet Shop is a super cute, fun romance. There was a lot of anticipation as to whether or not we would get our Happily Ever After. I really enjoyed it!

This plot does really great job of mixing sweet romance, inviting characters, and fun locations. Cute romance.

Holly works and owns a sweet shop in the Cotswolds and had an amazing bunch of friends and family. The book follows Holly as she negotiates an accident , betrayal and love.

She negotiates an accident , betrayal and love. Not altogether cheesy but the author keeps you guessing if the girl get her man? Thanks also to NetGalley

A real feel good read. With the beautiful backdrop of the Cotswold countryside and the delightful sweet shop what could possibly go wrong? Well this is Holly and of course not everything goes smoothly, with secrets unfolding and plans going awry. Overall a cute romantic read, just what I expected from this lovely author.

Another lovely story about Holly and the second chances Sweet shop. This is just after the hen weekend from the last book and the wedding is fast approaching but will everything go to plan?

I really enjoyed this book. It is so good to read about decent people. I liked the characters, even the busybodies like Kathy from the bird park. It is great to be part of a community where people look out for you. I also liked the scene of the story, the beautiful Cotswolds, and I enjoyed the author's style.
It is a heartwarming story. I can recommend to everyone.

A Summer Wedding at the Second Chances Sweet Shop by Hannah Lynn is book 6 in the series. Holly and Hope have moved into a small cottage in town. Holly and Ben have made the perfect schedule for Hope. Every thing is falling into place. Even Evan is fitting into her life perfectly. Now Holly is just trying to help plan Jamie and Fin's wedding and manage the sweet shop.
This was the sweetest book. But if the focus of the book was supposed to be the wedding, it wasn't. This was all about Holly. Jamie and Fin's wedding wasn't even a secondary storyline. I liked reading about Holly but some chapters I felt were just rambling about Holly's day to day living. Nothing really happening. I was entertained and enjoyed reading this story but the book and the description didn't really match in my opinion. This is the first book I have read by Hannah Lynn so I didn't read books 1-5 in this series. I don't really feel like I missed anything in the previous books that would prevent me from understanding the story. I did enjoy the story and would definitely read other works by Hannah Lynn. This was in the very cute, Hallmark-like story line. I would recommend this to others. Special thanks to NetGalley, Hannah Lynn, and Boldwood Books for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 3.5 stars for me.
