Butterfly Kisses
At eighteen years old, Beatrix Oliver has had to learn many painful truths.
Happiness can be ripped away in a single heartbeat, leaving cold, lonely emptiness behind.
Even the fiercest, most agonising love can’t make people stay with you if they decide not to.
And not even the butterfly kisses she was always told could heal anything can take away the pain of being left behind.
Starting at university gives her the chance she’s craved to break away from the town in which she’s been an object of pity for so long. Moving to Manchester is about fun, friendship and learning, and falling in love couldn’t be further from her mind. Love has only ever meant loss before, so why should now be any different?
But then an unexpected face from the past turns up, blurring her black and white lines into shades of grey, and she’s forced to face up to the fact that you don’t always get a choice when it comes to giving your heart away.

Beautifully written. Heartfelt. Healing.
A “villain” (of sorts) from a previous book is featured as a main character in this one. Robinson effortlessly made me—and Trix—fall for him despite ourselves. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does.
Loved it to the point where I’m nearly speechless, which never happens. Bravo.

“There might not be excuses, but sometimes there are reasons.”
I've loved every book in this series and I was especially excited to read Trix's story, a new adult contemporary romance that follows eighteen-year-old Trix through her first year at uni. She was a favorite in Chasing the Sunrise, and I'm happy to report she stays true to her quirky, vulnerable self in Butterfly Kisses. Her backstory tugged at my heartstrings, but it was the H who really got me—the most unlikely of heroes, who, when introduced, made me wonder if Robinson would be able to pull the couple off. She did so beautifully, but more than that, she nailed one of the most impressively developed, tummy-twisting, tear-inducing character arcs I've read all year.
While Butterfly Kisses can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you start at the beginning with The Pebble Jar to fully experience this incredible saga about a small group of friends from Colwich Lake.
The scars each of us carried with us still hurt from time to time, but they also reminded us that we were stronger than the pain life had thrown in our paths. Because when everything else was swept away, and life’s foliage was cleared, what was left behind was love.

Review to follow 😭❤️❤️❤️
Let me just say I'm not always the biggest fan of YA, I find the teen angst too draining but this series isn't like that. I love how Ms Robinson creates such loveable characters that are both entertaining and relatable. If I had a tribe I would want Trix in it, so funny with her inability to contain her thoughts and a healthy dose of sarcastic wit. I love her.
There are some heavy issues dealt with sensitively and realistically. Even when I knew things were coming it left me winded, with those kick in the guts moments. I spent far to much time holding my breath or sobbing, another beautiful emotional story. I can't recommend it enough!

I adore this series.… it is one of my favourites. This group of friends from Colwich that we have all grown to know and love over the years are very special to me. We have been with them through the good times and the bad, and I am feeling so very sad that our journey with them has now come to an end.
Butterfly Kisses is Trix’s story and is one that I have been desperate to read since meeting her in Chasing the Sunrise. She is an amazing person; someone I absolutely adore. She has the most incredible personality and a knack of making me smile lots. Many will see Trix as a bubbly, outgoing and spirited young lady but she has not had it easy over the years. Her tragic past caused her to grow up long before her time and the one of the things that I absolutely love about her, is her wise and caring mind. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be sitting here now, thinking back over this story, feeling as I do, without Trix’s help.
Having moved to Manchester to study, Trix finds herself unexpectedly in the company of someone from her past and it isn’t a happy reunion that’s for certain. There is a lot of history and bad feeling between them and I must admit that I had negative feelings towards this person too. I’ll be totally honest and say that I never thought those feelings of mine would change…. but I was wrong. The person we first met at sixteen is not who we have wth us today and by the end of the book I was wanting them to find the happiness that I realised they truly deserved. Trix guided my thoughts to contemplate situations in a different way. She made me realise that there may be a reason behind someone’s actions and that not everything is as it may seem. I am so very thankful for that message which will stay with me always.
Butterfly Kisses is an incredible story of love, guilt, heartache, devastation, forgiveness, happiness and so much more. I am confident that you will feel every emotion as you turn the pages. Trix will forever be a favourite character of mine and if I could bring her to life I’d want us to be the very best of friends.
I can't recommend Butterfly Kisses enough. I never thought I’d be ready to say goodbye to this fabulous group of friends but this book brought the series to a close perfectly. Thankfully I can revisit them often and I know I will for many years to come.

5 gut-wrenching stars!!!
OMG, this book has all the feels!! I have been on such an emotional roller coaster and I don't know when I'll recover.
H.A. Robinson has surpassed herself with this one. I absolutely love the Colwich Lake series (The Pebble Jar broke me 😭) however, Butterfly Kisses has to be my favourite of the series.
Two broken and scarred souls.
One who feels they don’t deserve to be loved and one who’s afraid to love for fear of eventually being left alone, come together after meeting up unexpectedly.
Can they help to heal each other? Or are their scars too deep to heal? Only time will tell.
Where do I start without giving anything away? My emotions are all over the place, I just want to wrap my arms around the book and never let it go.
I have fallen in love with Trix and her man, they are my favourite characters of the whole series. They have barged their way into my heart and are there to stay.
The struggles and turmoil they battled were so emotional and gut-wrenching that my heart broke into little pieces for them but put it was back together again, eventually.
I'm not going to say who Trix falls for, that's for you to find out but I will say...hands off, he's mine!
I am a huge fan of H.A. Robinson's. I love her wonderfully descriptive way with words.
Words which are raw and real, filled with so much emotion that tug on your heart strings and very believable. Words that pull you in from the first page, making you feel like you’re actually there looking on from the sidelines, eavesdropping on the lives of the rich and colourful characters she creates and watching their story enfold. You get this, and so much more, with Butterfly Kisses.
Although this could probably be read as a stand-alone I strongly recommend reading the previous books in the series first to avoid possible spoilers. It will allow you to fully understand the back history and make for a better reading experience.
I can't recommend Butterfly Kisses highly enough. It made me laugh and made me cry, it broke my heart but put it back together again. My heart is so heavy right now as I’m not ready to leave Colwich Lake just yet. I don’t think I ever will be.

4.5 stars - A beautiful story, exquisitely written, about two broken souls finding and recognizing each other, coming together, and helping each other heal. Trix shines so bright and just pulls people into her orbit. This is one that makes your heart feel good. It is not without its angst as secrets are revealed and obstacles overcome. Although it's not necessary that you read the other two books, I highly recommend it just for the extra feels it brings. I'm not a re-reader and I read so many books that I forget what I've read, so I honestly don't remember exactly what previously transpired, but I was still able to feel all the feels and indulge in seeing all these characters come full circle.

A beautiful end to a beautiful series. Butterfly Kisses tackles very serious issues in a respectful and realistic way. The characters are so well written that it feels like they're your friends. It's my favourite of the series and it does justice to the first two stories.
There will always be a special place in my heart for these books.

This book was amazing!!! I loved Trix and .... (you‘ll have to read it to find out who she ends up with 😉)
HA Robinson wrote such a beautiful story that will break your heart (be prepared for lots of tears) and heal it trough out their journey! It’s a rough ride but with the help of their friends and each other they can get trough everything!
The side characters, as always, are great, and we get to see some familiar faces too <3
I just LOVED IT and can’t recommend this series and this amazing author enough!!

This book, these characters, this series.
H.A Robinson has such an eloquent way with words, her stories are an effortless read, who draw the reader in, forces them to send messages of shock and distain to then send messages of love!
The storyline follows some hard hitting subjects which are dealt with in such a delicate elegant way. H.A Robinson cares for not just the characters but the way their story comes across to the reader.
I absolutely adore Trix (she is my favourite character in the whole series) and I am so pleased that we finally get to hear her story.
While Butterfly Kisses could be stand alone I highly recommend that you read the first 2 books in the series, otherwise you would be a little lost.

5 humongous stars from me!!!!
This book absolutely blew me away. Once again another heartfelt, lovely book has been written by H.A. Robinson. She never fails to captivate me with her words and this book was definitely no exception.
I am going to have to re read The Pebble Jar, Chasing The Sunrise and Butterfly Kisses all over again because, just because!!

Received an ARC for honest review...
Book 3 of The Colwich Lake Series
"There's nothing that can't be fixed by butterfly kisses and dandelion clock wishes"
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Well... what can i say ??
H.A.Robinson has brought to life the story of Trix Oliver, and a beautiful story of true love, friendship, acceptance, forgiveness and a dash of heartbreak 💔
We met Trix in book 2 of The Colwich Lake series but this time shes out in the big wide world, studying in Manchester at university.
Not wanting to spoil anything, Trix has some dealing with a couple of shady characters during her first few weeks there and finds support in the most unlikely hero that it knocks her for 6.
Trix has had a very traumatic past and grown up far too fast, she had many unhealed wounds that will need the love and care of someone kind and loving to help her deal with them.
The secondary characters are brilliant, and we also meet some familiar faces too..
I cant recommend this book enough, its just purely beautiful and while I suppose you can read as a stand alone, I'd 100% recommend you reading the whole series.
H.A.Robinson has an amazing way of bringing her world to you through her beautiful words , making the characters feel like friends.
Make sure you have tissues at the ready because you'll cry !!
There are very sensitive subjects delt with in the book with such kindness and tender hands of H.A.Robinson.
This is without a doubt one of my top 5 books of the year ..
I just loved it ❤

I recieved an ARC for an honest review.
Im writing this with a watery smile, a full yet aching heart and a plethora of emotions swirling within. I'm struggling to think how I can do this review justice. I just don't think ill have enough words, the right words to put this in a review. So if what I'm trying to say doesn't come across then here the simplified version. YOU MUST READ THIS.
I had huge expectations for this book, so I'll be honest, I was nervous going in. Not because H.A Robinson couldn't pull it off (that was never in question) but because I had an idealisation of what I wanted for trix and put her on such a pedestal that I wanted nothing but perfection.
Trix is a slightly bonkers, real, spirited zesty girl with an underlying tragic past that has shaped her. Luke is a sullen lost boy whom I should hate with every fibre of my being but seeing him through trix"s eyes it was impossible. Also shaped by a tragic past and destructive behaviour this boy needing pulling from the depths. This story took my idealisation to another stratosphere. Complex twist and turns with all the broken pieces finally slotting into place. A real journey of distrusction, heartache, heroism, friendship and most importantly love. These two are perfectly imperfect and are destined for this path. A real story of how love comes in all forms shapes and sizes. Of how love can heal, destroy demons, bring peace and concur all when you find the right ones.
Some extremely emotive subjects are ran throughout this book, all of which were handled with such care truth and delicacy, H.A Robinson is a master of words, thought provoking and emotive topics.

Brilliant! It's got it all.
I chose five stats because I could not put my phone down until I had finished this book. This series is one of the few young adult series I would recommend as it is so beautifully written, and Heather has that knack of taking me right back to my own teenage/early adult years, remembering that uncertainty, and the questioning or everything, the raw emotion that drives us forward in our youth. In turns tearjerkingly sad, happy, and funny. I'd loved the character of Trix,
and all the other characters she meets on her big adventure in Manchester, and I won't say anymore as don't want to spoil it. But read it! You won't regret it.

So much Love for Butterfly Kisses! Trix’s story!
I Loved How this Talented Author not only brought a sensitive subject into the story but made the Villain the Hero with such ease.
All my Favorite characters are present and I am completely happy how things worked out in the end!
Well done! H.A.Robinson❤️

*4 stars*
I've really come to enjoy this series and we finally get Beatrix' story. It was a rollercoaster ride and had emotional elements in it that definitely will pull on all your heartstrings. Although in the beginning I was a bit lost and it took me a few chapters to get into the story, it picked up and you couldn't just help but feel for the two main characters. You can read this as a standalone but would suggest to read the other two first so you can have more of a fuller experience. Definitely worth the read!
Beatrix "Trix" has moved to Manchester hoping to have a fresh start and in amidst of her college classes, she gets a job that hopefully will also keep her busy. Everything seems to happen in a blur and days go by faster than she can blink. When she and Luke meet again there's so much history between them but time has changed a lot and throughout it all their newfounded friendship turns into something they didn't really saw coming. Two lost souls that seem to gravitate to each other may lead to hopefully a happy ending...

Wow this book really did have all the feels. Phew, I really needed a breather before I sat down wrote this review.
Trixie has proven to be my favourite character in this outstanding series and her story just blew me away. Angst, humour and friendship, perfectly blended into one of the most captivating stories that I have read.
The eloquent way that Ms Robinson has with words, produces a powerful attachment to her characters and allows you as a reader to change your opinions and open your heart to them.
This gripping story really had it all and will always be remembered.

Hopefully the charge won't run out this time... 3rd times the charm right?
First off I can't believe this series has come to an end, I had hoped it would go on forever. Every single character had worked their way into my heart. H.A had done a sensational job with them all.
This book was the perfect finale to this series. It was full of heartbreak, hope, promise and love... So much love and care I thought my heart may burst.
Trix and Luke's story was everything I had hoped for and more. The emotional rollercoaster of emotions that you couldn't help feel right along with them, my gosh did I feel. I laughed I cried and then I healed right along with them.
I'm so elated by the ending. Everyone was well overdue due some happiness.
I'm going to come back and look over this later once I know I'm not going to lose my thoughts again xx

Having read the first 2 in the series and loved them I wondered if the third could be as good! Definitely an amazing read. Trix is the girl everyone would think is a goodtime gal! You find out about her. I love the way the gang are there for wach other! Great end to a series. X

Can butterfly kisses fix everything? There was a whole load of fixing needed by these characters, pasts filled with heartbreak and pain, some unexpectedly so.
Trix we know and love her quirky character and meet up with her again away at college in Manchester trying to forge a life away from her best friends Tom and Jake, making friends with the adorable Rachel, finding herself the centre of male attraction which she wasnt used to and finding her feet in a part time job when she is faced with nemesis Luke Chang who we met in Chasing the Sunrise, the bully who made her best friends life hell. But everyone has a story and it takes time but eventually we learn Luke's and boy my heart breaks. There are some seriously sensitive issues dealt with in this story and H A. Robinson does it with perfection.
Absolutely loved everything about this story, self discovery, heartbreak, twists and turns and then a conclusion that melts your heart !!

What I liked: all of it! The shock of finding out who Beatrix bumps into at the pub they both worked at; how their blossoming relationship would take them on an enlightening journey and finally, the secrets they were forced to keep, along with the knowledge that when revealed it would be painful beyond words. I hadn’t read the description of this book before I read it. All I knew when I downloaded it was the main character Beatrix, who was Tom’s friend in Chasing the Sunrise. On reading it now, it gives away nothing. So this story is full of surprises, and shocks.
What I didn’t like: the heartbreak that some people are forced to endure alone. The sadness some people carry and the message that we should think before we judge people.
Overall: this third book and it ramps up the emotions of the readers through the lives of the characters. For me, there is one stand out scene that will stay with me long after closing the final page. It happens in Llandudno, a seaside town not far from where I live. Beatrix’s boyfriend finally reveals his dark secret to her. It’s a heart rendering shock I hadn’t expected, even though readers, along with Beatrix, will have been waiting for this revelation. This is a stunning series beautifully written and will leave its mark on every reader.

After reading and loving the first 2 books in this series i was really keen to get into Beatrixs story and I just knew it would be a good one.
But damn this one hits you in ALL THE FEELS for sure!!! It packs a punch but in all the emotional angsty goodness a fab story should.
I loved the friendship relationships in all the series so to see them all come together for each other is beautiful.
When Trix needs a job she could never imagine who she would encounter on shift 1.. never mind who would be there for her in her worst moments or the other way around.
Secrets, bumps and heartache all rolled into one amazing read.
I just wanted to hug Luke so badly at so many points in this story.
I grinned like an idiot, i held my breathe and i had heart palpations all while rlbeing unable to put this book down.
This series will definitely be in my re read pile for the furture too!

I had such high hopes for this book, and god did it deliver. Trix’s story follows her new life in Manchester, you learn about her past as well as falling in love with new characters and familiar ones all over again.
There were times I couldn’t put the book down, eager to find out what twists lay on the following pages or just to read about the growing love between two people that both don’t think they necessarily deserve it.
A gorgeous summary to Trix’s story as well as the other books in the series and I’m so sad there isn’t another. Thank you for a gorgeous read.
