Summary
Can Ellie bake her way to a happy ever after? A deliciously heartwarming novel for fans of Lucy Diamond and Milly Johnson.
When Ellie Hall lands her dream job running the little teashop in the beautiful but crumbling Claverham Castle, it’s the perfect escape from her humdrum job in the city. Life is definitely on the rise as Ellie replaces spreadsheets for scones and continues her Nanna’s brilliant baking legacy.
When Lord Henry, the stick-in-the-mud owner, threatens to burst her baking bubble with his old-fashioned ways, Ellie wonders if she might have bitten off more than she can chew. But cupcake by cupcake she wins the locals over, including teashop stalwart Doris, and Ellie’s showstopping bakes look set to go down in castle history!
Now all that’s missing in Ellie’s life is a slice of romance. Can Joe, the brooding estate manager, be the one to put the cherry on the top of Ellie’s dream?
Critic reviews
"Cakes, castles and oodles of charm: this book is huge fun and pure escapism." (Cathy Bramley)
"A top-rated romance which I devoured quicker than a slice of Victoria Sponge. Beautifully written, warm, funny, cosy, romantic and sweeter than a tray full of cookie dough." (Bookaholic Confessions)

Shame about the accents
I really enjoy this story. It's an easy listen and leaves you feeling good. Sadly it is completely the wrong narrator for this story. It is set in the North East and the narrator just can't do the accent. On the occasion that she attempts it they're so bad it makes me cringe. A real shame as the story is a nice one.

Awkward narration
Fab story but really difficult to listen to. I gave up due to the constant pauses and incorrect inflections. Such a shame

A Lovely Book
I really enjoyed the book & the story. if there was a downside it would be the narrator. The accents were a little bit off putting, but I stuck with it.
I would recommend it.

see-through and sickly sweet
Take a glass of pure water, add 10 table spoons of sugar... now drink! That is this book -- nothing to surprise you, nothing to move you... see-through and sickly sweet. But, if that is what you want, it is absolutely perfect for you!

A baking dream
I liked the beginning of this story very much and had high hopes for the rest of the book. So a great beginning with a well written and more mediocre rest of the book, I'm not sure if I'll give this author another chance. I found the storyline wasn't as interesting as it was at first, also the steamy scenes were a bit steamier than I usually go for and although it had a few plot twists I'd already guessed what most of them were and she did spin them out a bit too much. There were also some nice details about the grandmother's recipe book and family details that were relatable.
I think a dream tea shop at the castle could have been a more apt title, as I'm not sure where the cosy came in and a lot of the description is about how cold the place is, mirrored by how cold the emotional atmosphere is in parts as well and in much of the story Ellie is fulfilling her baking dream.
The narrator was a good storyteller although she did struggle with certain accents, her voices were good apart from that and the rest of the narration more than made up for that,
