Ellie's brand new enterprise, the True Loaf Bakery, is
finally open and classes are due to start. But when Katja's ski-ing holiday
ends in disaster, a new teacher must be found very quickly. Anita is up for the
challenge, but - fresh from a break-up and an operation that's left her feeling
physically and emotionally vulnerable - the last thing she's looking for when
she moves to Sunnybrook is a new relationship. So it's Sod's law that she
should find herself with not one but two guys vying for her attention. Sven,
from Denmark, is a bit of an enigma - but maybe passion lurks beneath his cool
reserve? And as for twenty-five-year-old football coach Ross - surely she'd be
asking for trouble getting involved with a gorgeous man a decade her junior?
(Although her football-mad son Rufus seems to love him.)
Moving in with Bertha proves a real comfort - but can Anita get to the bottom of
what's troubling the older woman?
Anita's job at the True Loaf Bakery is only temporary, but she finds herself
drawn ever deeper into life in the village - especially when she finds a
child's bracelet from long ago, in the rubble of the newly-renovated building.
Solving the mystery of who it belongs to takes Anita on a journey of discovery
- a journey that might just help her discover what her own heart really
needs...

Rosie Green never disappoints with this series, its one I
look forward to the most. Each visit to this lovely community and it’s
residents is heart-warming, full of ups and downs, a show of friendship and spirit
and ALWAYS leaves your mouth watering!
I loved the introduction of a few new characters this time,
it can always just add to the brilliant characters we have grown to know and love.
If you haven’t read any of the series previously it can be read as a
standalone, it does have references to things in previous books but nothing
that is not explained enough within this story.
My affection for Anita wasn’t instant this time, more a slow
burn over the whole book - she is a lovely girl and by the end I was cheering
her on but I struggled with her attitude to her potential health issues and
just didn’t connect at first. I adored her young son, Rufus, who brought some
light and funny moments.
I enjoyed her relationship with some of the other
characters, both in a friendly capacity and a romantic way. I thought Sven was an
‘interesting’ character but wasn’t too sure how a romance would work between
the two.
Ross is a genuinely lovely character, obviously committed
and kind, a considerate young man and supportive of Anita. He may be young but
what a wise and mature head on his shoulders. I’m a big fan of his!
Again the bakery and the teaching element of this story is
brilliant – I feel like I could actually have a go at making sourdough myself
now!
A wonderful catch up with friends old and new; always nice to be back and I
will look forward to the next visit.
About Rosie Green
Rosie has been scribbling stories ever since she was little.
Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in
perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by 'the baddies'.
Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic
comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous
danger involved at all - unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.
Her series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe.
