I'm delighted to be revisiting Sunnybrook for another instalment in the Little Duck Pond series, Log Fires and Toffee Apple Cake at the Little Duck Pond Cafe.
Get set for a wonderful celebration of autumn with all your
favourite characters at the Little Duck Pond Cafe!
An autumn fair is coming to Sunnybrook, much to the delight
of the villagers. But for Madison, whose personal life seems to be spinning out
of control, a roller-coaster is the last thing she needs – especially when it’s
her emotions at stake.
Can she convince the delectable Jack that their relationship
is worth another shot? Or has their romance ground to a permanent halt like a
faulty big wheel? Will she solve the mystery of the missing name on her birth
certificate? Or will her discoveries take her on a journey even bumpier than
the dodgem cars? One thing’s for sure. Madison is going to need more than a
fairground fortune teller to find the answers to her questions, if she’s going
to ‘waltz-er’ into the happiest of sunsets…
My Thoughts
What a warm and welcoming novella to escape into for Autumn. All the familiar characters are there, but one or two have a few challenges to overcome and a few surprises to deal with. We learn more about Madison in this story and get to meet her parents and twin sisters. You realise how important family is to her but also why she has been a little spiky and abrupt at times in past stories. She has discovered quite a secret which has shaken her world and in this book, we get to see how she works through the aftermath.
Family and friendships are at the heart of the story as the circle of friends continues to expand and grow. As ever, the next story is hinted at and as the number of settings grows, both cafes, to the bakery which is not yet finished, I can only see more potential for new characters and storylines. Perfect for an Autumn weekend read, this is one of the best so far.
In short: Family and friendship.
About the Author
Rosie has been scribbling stories ever since she was little.
Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a
young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by
'the baddies'.
Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much
prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile,
with really not much perilous danger involved at all - unless you count the
heroine losing her heart in love.
Her series of novellas is centred around life in a village
cafe. The latest, ‘Lucy’s Great Escape', is out now.
Rosie will be revisiting the Little Duck Pond Café with a
beautiful story of love and friendship at Christmas time, entitled A Kiss in
the Snow, out in October 2020.
