Christmas is fast approaching at the new Hope Farm and Bev has convinced a reluctant Molly to organise an open day to raise some much needed funds ahead of the New Year.

But on Hope Farm it's going to take more than mulled wine and Christmas lights to get everyone in the festive spirit.

Jodie Jackson is leaving her London life, her career and her husband behind. She'd like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she'll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill's houseboat. But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it's clear she'll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn't Marilyn, who cleans for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it's Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned's wood carving is hard on the ears, but it's made up for by the fact that he's rather easy on the eyes.

Molly Baker is living her best life. Thirty-eight years old, she lives on the 25-acre Hope Farm in Buckinghamshire, surrounded by (mostly) four-legged friends and rolling hills. An ex-teacher, Molly runs the farm as an alternative education for kids who have special needs or behavioural issues. It's full on, but she wouldn't have it any other way. So when the well-groomed Shelby Dacre turns up at Hope Farm asking to enrol his son Lucas, Molly isn't fazed. But Lucas is distant, and soon Molly realises he might be more of a handful than she anticipated.

If you want to feel miserable then this is for you
The so called heroine of this book is a total doormat, and I just wanted to shake her. I can't believe anybody would act like her and allow herself to be put upon in such a way. She is such a whinging boring character that frankly I really didn't care what happened to her. The story was also spoiled for me by the dreadful Irish accent the reader uses for the main love interest. I normally really enjoy Carole Matthews, but I would recommend that you don't waste your money on this one.

Only for those with a very sweet tooth
Any additional comments?
This story was so saccharine that I could only get through about a half of it. The "heroine" was a complete doormat and was walked over by her mother, sister and boyfriend without a word of complaint and the hero was totally unbelievable. I have read much better books by Carole Matthews.

Disappointing and depressing!
What disappointed you about The Cake Shop in the Garden?
I had really looked forward to this but sadly it didn't deliver at all. The main character was pathetic and unlikeable, and the storyline completely predictable. The narration was totally mismatched, the main character sounded like an old woman and the fake Irish accent was truly awful!
Very disappointed.

Another great story from Carole. I loved the characters - Leah is hysterical and Stan is a darling! A story whose central theme is close to my heart looking after an elderly parent - told in a heartfelt way and with humour thrown in lightening the tale. Loved it!

Not A Fave
Didn't like this boom at all. It was drawn out too long and way too predictable. I was hoping it was near ending as I knew what was going to happen but when I checked how long was left there was still 7 1/2 hours to go! Felt like moving on but as is paid for it and wanted it to be good I kept going. A couple of surprises 3/4 of the way through but not enjoyable for me and I normally love cutesy romantic love stories.

Frustrating - what a pathetic heroine!
This book was so frustrating as the heroine was so downtrodden and self-sacrificing that it was almost unbelievable. This was a disappointment as have read other Carole Matthews 's book and really enjoyed them.
