Second Chances at the Cotswolds Candy Store (The Holly Berry Sweet Shop Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Hannah Lynn (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,417 ratings

A scrumptious, uplifting feel-good read from the Top 100 bestselling author of New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock

Starting over never tasted so good

Holly Berry has it all: a good career, a steady boyfriend, and enough savings that the two of them will soon be able to buy a nice little house. But when she finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her, she decides to retreat to the Cotswolds and a place full of far sweeter memories.

Quite literally.

However, Holly discovers the quaint village sweet shop she worked in as a teenager is starting to crumble. Putting all her chocolate eggs in one basket, she says goodbye to the city, and sets her sights on a new project.

After all, how hard can running a sweet shop be?

Full of laughter, sweet romance and cosy village life, The Sweet Shop of Second Chances will make you believe that the best things in life really are worth fighting for. Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Katie Fforde, and Jessica Redland.

    What a marvelous read, this is why Hannah Lynn is one of my top pick authors. Candy takes us back to my childhoods sweet memories ,but to tell the truth I wasn't much on sweets. This book has well developed characters that you'll enjoy and some that are sneak in to cause trouble. Uplifting and delightful. Enjoy.

    Often reading the first two books about the Wildflower Locks, I decided to try another one of Hannah Lynn’s series. The Holly Berry Sweet Shop series will be just as entertaining, after reading the first book. Even though the setting and premise is so different than the Wildflower Series, it is full of quirky characters and an entertaining storyline. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025
    Standard formula with the usual elements for a clean, cozy romance. There was nothing particularly noteworthy in this easy to read, romantic tale. Despite several attempts to throw doubt on the (in)sincerity of Holly's suitor, it winds up being just as I expected.

    The Sweet Shop of Second Chances is one of the best books that I've read in a long time. It's had me in fits of laughter, tears and filled me with warm and loving emotions. Holly is a woman after my own heart and I can't wait to read the next installment.
    Hannah Lynn has become one of my favourite authors and I highly recommend others to read.

    It's rare that I write reviews after reading just one book by an author, but really enjoyed this story. It's written in English (not American), it's funny, intriguing, with a feel good and happy vibe, despite the twists and turns in plot. There's also no smut (I get so sick of those sorts of hot and heavy books). Thank you Hannah Lynn - I'll definitely be reading more of your books and fingers crossed you'll have lots more novels to read.
