Publisher's summary

Always the baker, never the bride....

Olivia James has always been happy running a tea shop and bakery in the Cotswold village of Wychwood-on-Lea and helping her friends find their happily-ever-afters, topped by the perfect wedding cake. But as Christmas approaches, Olivia is home alone and questioning her choices while eating too many of her own specialty confections.

When Simon Blacklock, a handsome, whimsical stranger, breezes into her shop and buys a cupcake and then returns the next day and the day after, Olivia begins to dream. Can romance blossom amid the sugar and flour? And after a lifetime of living on the sidelines, is she brave enough to star in her own story?

Simon may be hiding a painful secret, but Olivia harbors secrets of her own. If they can dare to risk their hearts, this Christmas might be the most magical yet!

Cute quick read

Loved the addition of real life issues without bringing down the joy of the ending. It actually enhances it.

Cute for the holidays

Corny and predictable, but cute. A few slow spots, but I found myself wanting to know the ending.

No happy ending

If you’re looking for a light hearted fun Christmas book, this isn’t it. I found it to be depressing and sometimes slow and boring. The writing was good but I didn’t like the story,

Good

These are really light reading and fun. Nice for Christmas listening. I used as an alternative to the Lifetime and Hallmark mush while decorating the house this year. I enjoyed the storyline and like a good series. I’m on book 2 currently. My only gripe is how the narrator goes from no accent to accents when the characters speak. It is really weird. I don’t understand why that is? Oh well. Worth a listen for free!

Charming Story

Who doesn’t love a quaint English village, a lovely tea shop, and a new romance for the holidays? Very cute story- and the perfect length for a quick holiday read.

Quaint

It was as cheesy as I thought it would be. A nice story to listen to while preparing for the holidays.
