Book Review: Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn

I’m happy to be welcoming Hannah Lynn to Novel Kicks and the blog tour for her book, Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock.

There may be trouble ahead…

Just when Daisy thought she had canal life understood, Theo, her primary go-to for all of her boating questions has left Wildflower Lock, not to mention the budding romance that has been steadily growing.

Not one to sit and wallow, Daisy takes matters into her own hands. Who said long-distance relationships can’t work?

With the help of trusted friend Yvonne, Daisy takes the September Rose on a round trip to surprise her new boyfriend. The best thing about a home on the water? You can go anywhere!

But perhaps leaving the serenity of Wildflower Lock wasn’t the best idea. Daisy hates keeping secrets from Theo, and she’s not the only one…

*****

Daisy May feels that life has finally got a little bit of balance. She’s running her café from her canal boat, September Rose and her relationship with new boyfriend, Theo is going well. However, when he needs to go away for work, this sets Daisy on an adventure she wasn’t expecting.

I was very excited to be invited onto the blog tour for Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock. The cover for this book is so beautiful. 

I have not read the previous novels in the series (I plan to,) but this didn’t impact my enjoyment of this novel. There was enough information given and I found that I could keep up. 

Daisy May is a wonderful character. She’s likeable, relatable and it’s not hard to root for her and for Theo. 

Yvonne is also a fun character, if not a little mysterious. 

We also all need a Johnny the dog in our lives. 

The plot moved well and there were many twists and turns on Daisy’s adventure. The journey she takes on the September Rose sounds idyllic and so fun. I’ve stayed on a canal boat a couple of times and this book has reignited a dream to own one. 

Blue Skies Over Wildflower Lock is a lovely story full of brilliant characters, an entertaining adventure, love, life and humour. It’s a perfect read, whether you need one for a holiday or just an escape for a while.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
