Book Synopsis:
Molly Hooper has a secret. It haunts her dreams and casts a dark shadow over life with her gorgeous three-year-old daughter, Eva. Arriving in Sunnybrook has given her a glimpse of sunshine. The Little Duck Pond Cafe crew seem so welcoming and there’s even the chance of a new job. Baking delicious cakes has always taken Molly to a happy place, so the job – at the glorious Brambleberry Manor Cafe – might just be perfect for her. It would mean she and little Eva could finally put down some roots at last. But is Sunnybrook the sanctuary Molly is searching for? Or will the past come back to haunt her, wherever she hides?

My Review:
This was another wonderful, fun and engaging addition to the brilliant Little Duck Pond series which offered some much needed escapism in these weird times.
It was great to be back with the lovely people from the little duck pond and learn more about Molly and her daughter. I’ve always loved how the author manages to make the group seem so accessable and like a group of friends that you actually know in real life. The fantastic sense of community was so nice to see as the residents all try to come up with some interesting ideas on how to get more people into the cafe.
The author manages to include some real life problems into the story like dementia and abuse in a clever way so that they can gain awareness of it but without completing changing the tone of the book. The overall message in this book was how important being kind is and how a little kindness can go a long way which is something we all need to remember.
Overall I loved this fabulous book a d can’t wait for a chance to visit The Little Duck Pond again. If you are looking for a fun, escapist read then I really recommend this series.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
About The Author:
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. Rosie’s Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe. Each book can be read as a stand-alone story. The latest, ‘A Winter Wedding at the Little Duck Pond Cafe’, is out now. Watch out for further tales of the Little Duck Pond Cafe: ‘Lemon Drizzle Mondays’, which will be published in February 2020, followed by the tenth novella in the series, ‘A Cornish Summer Holiday’ in April 2020. Rosie has also written a full-length, stand-alone book, ‘Snowflakes over Moondance Cottage’, and she’s currently working on a second.
