About this listen

‘Cakes, castles and oodles of charm: this book is huge fun and pure escapism’ Cathy Bramley

Can Ellie bake her way to a happy ever after? A deliciously heartwarming novel for fans of Lucy Diamond and Milly Johnson.

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

'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

'I found myself racing through to the end . . . A lovely book, one to be enjoyed over a few chilly evenings with your own cup of tea and cake' Chick Lit Chloe

'A warm and cosy read for a cold winter's day . . . will have you longing to be served in the tearoom' Rachel's Random Reads

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!

Couldn't put my phone down! It was a brilliant story.. the Geordie accent not too good though which was a bit annoying.

Loved it

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,

I fell into the romance of Joe and Ellie, want more, what happens next for them, the tea rooms and the castle.

I loved how it was an easy read/listen. It was soft, uplifting and the perfect read for a rainy day. Although some bits were predictable, I liked that about it. It was well thought out, perfectly structured and beautifully written. It was like a hug - warm and comfortable.

Great Feel-Good Book
