Reviews for The Little Shop of Hidden Treasures

[Cricket · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The lead female was so frustrating! Oh my word. I get the trend to write flawed heroines yet this was just frustrating. The abrupt ending was - well, super abrupt. Ugh. It overshadowed the cozy village feel found in the setting.

[novemberirametal · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Both the story and the narration are very pleasant to listen! The story has very nice plot twists, I enjoyed it very much! Would love to have a more extended epilogue to learn of the heroes story in the long run. Highly recommend.

Would be a great book to be made into a movie

[Yolanda Bates · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I love the story, I love the characters, but I always wish that once they hit the climax that they will make a little bit more romance . The romance needs to last a little bit longer instead of ending just as they find each other!

[SerendipityReads · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A sweet little story with way too much padding. Still, because I loved the H and his niece so much, I was prepared to give this four stars….until the way-too fast and way-too unromantic way it ended.

[Susan Marshall · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a feel good book with a wonderful story line

[HannaWiszniewska · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The main character has been very irritating and behaved as a teenager. There were many repetitions in the book which made me suspect that the author is writing for an audience with memory of a gold fish and attention span of a gnat. Nevertheless there were some good points of using my time to listen. Nice descriptions of the surroundings, for example. What saved this audiobook for me was the narrator. If not her I wouldn't have the patience to listen till somehow cliché, stereotyped ending.

[Alison Hales · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A nice little romance to enjoy, curled up with a nice cup of tea.

Loved the story. Heartwarming with enticing characters. A must read.

[anthea krook · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Very sweet, gentle and while predictable I enjoyed it. The only thing I wish didn’t happen were occasional obvious summaries and repeats of what was happening. But fun read.

[cheryl · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I didn't tell at the author once for foolish actions on characters part so excellent

[Joyce Hughes · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Was a pleasant read but at times it would do a little summary of a character or what had gone before, as if this was a series and it was doing a recap at the beginning of a new episode even though you had just heard all that. It felt very weird

[Evita Charalambous · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A sweet little story, that I feel were in a hurry to publish. The ending was not only expected but was also very simple and had no true emotion.
The first 2 parts were really good and interesting and then it got really boring.
I would say its a little beach read but on the other hand you have so many more options.
