St Aidan: a cosy Cornish village where friendships are made for life and it’s always cocktail hour somewhere…
The Little Cornish Kitchen is going on tour!When internet sensation ‘Cressida Cupcake’ has a soggy bottomed TV fiasco and faces bake-off backlash she jumps at the chance to spend some time hiding out in St Aidan, dog sitting for her brother.
Picturesque Seaspray Cottage is meant to be Cressy Hobson’s port in the storm but with her blog sponsors having fled and her book deal gone sideways her funds are running low and she’s forced to turn to the locals for help. Soon her quiet weeks in Cornwall are filled with chasing sheep, saving the local retirement village, taking The Little Cornish Kitchen into people’s homes for baking nights…and keeping vigilant guard against romance.
The one and only time Cressy lost her head to love was over a decade ago while in St Aidan, and she won’t be making the same mistake again – a feat easier said than done when Ross Bradbury looks even better a decade on…and every step she takes seems to put him in her path!
This book was a delight! From start to finish, I was enthralled in the story of Cressida and Ross.
I’ll admit, Cressida was a bit of a mess in the beginning. Taking care of her brother’s and sister-in-law’s pets, Cressida escapes to the beautiful village of St. Aidan in Cornwall. She instantly meets some wonderfully humorous ladies–who are referred to as the Mermaids–and also, her long-ago semi-ex, Ross.
From the first page, I absolutely adored Cressida and the ladies she would soon call friends. Cressida has a lot of soul-searching to go through to be comfortable with herself and not worry so much about what others think–including the handsome Ross.
This was such a lovely read full of laughs and sweet moments.
About Jane Linfoot
Jane Linfoot is a best selling author, who lives in a cottage, up the steepest hill in Derbyshire, with her family, their pets, and an astonishing number of spiders. Although she loves seeing cow noses over the garden wall, she’s happy she can walk to a supermarket. Jane grew up in North Yorkshire where she spent a lot of her childhood avoiding horizontal gales blowing off the sea, and wrote her first book by accident, while working as an architect, and renovating country houses. While she loves to write feel good books that let readers escape, she’s always surprised to hear her stories make people laugh, admits to (occasionally) crying as she writes, and credits her characters for creating their own story lines. Jane’s garden would be less brambly if she wasn’t on Facebook and Twitter so often. On days when she wants to be really scared, she rides a tandem. She has lots of Pinterest boards relating to her novels.
