Today I’m again reviewing the latest in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series. Once again many thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for having me on the tour and sending me a copy of the book to review.
The Book: What happens when a romantic Victorian pile that was meant to be your ‘forever home’ turns out to be a disaster in disguise? One Little Duck Pond Café pair are about to find out. Could the fall-out wreck their relationship? One thing’s for sure – it will take nothing short of a miracle to turn this turkey into the house of their dreams . . .

The Review: I enjoy all of the books in this series, so to admit I enjoyed this isn’t really a surprise. This time we’re back with Ellie and Zac, who we’ve not spend time with in a while. They’ve bought their dream home which is proving to be a bit of a challenge and a mystery as well. There are, as ever, a few new characters woven into the story and who we learn more about as the story progresses.
Aside from the house issues, things aren’t running smoothly for Zac and Ellie themselves. Zac is having trouble and Ellie is struggling with that and also being a bit obsessive (in my opinion) over the house. I can understand why she is behaving as she is, but I also found her a bit reckless as well, though I know it’s not always easy to think clearly when you’re so caught up in something as she was.
Once again it was lovely to return to Sunnybrook. There’s so much going on in the world at the moment that it’s nice to have a welcoming and familiar place to return to again and again where everyone is supportive and considerate and there’s always good cake to be had!
The Author:
Rosie Green burst onto the writing scene at the age of nine, anonymously penning a weekly magazine for her five-year-old brother (mysteriously titled the ‘Willy’ comic) and fooling him completely by posting it through the letterbox every Thursday.
Rosie’s continuing love of writing saw her study English at Dundee University and spend her twenties working on various teenage magazines, including Jackie and Blue Jeans, and meeting pop stars. Then she got serious and worked as a newspaper sub-editor at the Dundee Courier before moving to Surrey and setting up an organic veg box delivery business.
These days, she lives with her family in the beautiful county of Northumberland and has finally realised a life-long dream of becoming a published author. She currently writes the Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas, which is centred around life in a village cafe. Each book can be read as a stand-alone story.
Rosie has also written traditionally-published books under the name Catherine Ferguson.
