The
blurb:
The perfect romance to
take on your summer hols! For fans of Milly Johnson, Jenny Oliver and Lucy
Diamond.
Brides by the Sea, the
cutest little wedding shop in all of Cornwall, has it all, including cake baker
Poppy who lives upstairs. But wedding planning is not the piece of cake Poppy
thought it would be, and when her best friend Cate’s wedding planner walks out,
Poppy has to tie up the loose ends so her bestie can tie the knot.
Double-booked venues,
‘rustic’ locations and gorgeous but grumpy farmer Rafe have this wedding pro
feeling like she could be Cate’s ‘something blue.’
Will the wedding, the
shop and the cake all come crashing down on her? Or will Poppy pull it off to
give Cate – and herself – the happy ever afters they deserve?
My
Opinion:
*Book
provided by the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
I
think it’s safe to say that this is my favourite Jane Linfoot book so far. I
liked all her previous ones, but this one is on another level, I just couldn’t
put it down.
The
story follows Poppy, who is a cake baker and works and lives above a little
wedding shop. When her best friend Cate’s wedding planner quits, they all want
Poppy to take over: Cate, their best friend Immie and also her colleagues at
the store. Poppy is not sure, but does it anyway.
This
means that she now works closely with Rafe, the farm owner, where the weddings
will take place. Rafe is a really grumpy, moody and bad tempered person and he
doesn’t like weddings at all. Of course this doesn’t make the situation easier.
She suddenly has so much to do and things of course go wrong as well.
Rafe
is another challenge, but she can handle him and spending time with also
awakens other feelings. She is confused at first and also doesn’t want a
relationship, because of what happened with her ex.
Rafe
is actually really hot and he changes throughout the book. Learning about his
past makes things clear and the things he does in this book are quite adorable
actually.
All
the characters in this book are well lined out, relatable and they have great
chemistry. Reading about the wedding shop and about what the girls do there,
was incredible. It felt like walking through the shop myself, Jane has such a
vivid way to describe places and scenes and she added a lot of great humour in
this book. I totally got hooked and adored this book from the first page
onwards. It’s a sweet, romantic and adorable story, with wonderful scenes, deep
thoughts and amazing characters.
