Charlie and her cute dog, Marmite, make new friends wherever their bus stops – except for the attractive but reclusive owner of the posh spa up on the hill, Daniel Harper, who isn’t very pleased that her bus is parked outside his lovely hotel.
Has Charlie’s Cornish dream developed a soggy bottom? Or can she convince Daniel that her bus could be the start of something wonderful for the little village – and for them?
I absolutely adore books that involve teashops and baking especially when they are set in quaint little villages and seaside towns and it was this kind of novel I was looking to read when I cam across Don’t Go Baking My Heart which is Part 1 of The Cornish Cream Tea Bus, the latest release by Cressida McLaughlin. Although not a fan of books that are released as parts, once I had read the synopsis I knew there was no way I was going to be able to wait for the full book when I just wanted to dive straight into this storyline.
Charlie has recently split from her partner and after the death of her beloved Uncle he left her his route master bus. Wanting to utilise her baking skills Charlie begins to hatch a plan to try and make use of the bus and combine her skills so whilst staying with her friend Juliette she is determined to get her plan rolling.
I don’t want to say too much more about the storyline for fear of giving the whole thing away as is often the way in part release reviews but what I will say is that this was a perfect introduction to our lead character Charlie who is a determined and thoughtful woman who thinks of other peoples needs as well as her own.
I read this book through the night and the delicious treats that are baked during this novel had my mouth watering and me craving a cream and jam scone at 2am not something I can say has happened to me before! I love the idea of the tea bus and the author has clearly undertaken some insightful research as to the problems that need to be addressed when undertaking this kind of mobile business.
I was so entertained by this storyline and enjoyed watching Charlie’s ideas come to life, I wasn’t ready to leave the storyline behind and I can not wait for the full book so I will definitely be pre-ordering part 2 now and I will abandon whatever book I am reading when this pings down onto my kindle! Part 1 of The Cornish Cream Tea Bus is out 13th June and is currently only 99p! * Kindle
