Coffee and Cake at the Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn #Review #TheWildflowerLockSeriesBook2
Home is where the coffee is...
Daisy May is embarking on a new chapter of her life as a permanent resident at the idyllic Wildflower Lock. Determined to seize this second chance she's been granted, Daisy is putting her all into making her new business venture a success. As her friendship with Theo grows ever stronger, her happily ever after seems within reach.
However, life isn't always smooth sailing. When a string of unfortunate mishaps and an unruly stag party leaves Daisy’s finances in dire straits, she starts to question her decision to launch a coffee shop. But just when she's nearly lost hope, the mysterious and generous Christian enters her life. Astute and eager to assist Daisy, he proposes a solution that could be the answer to all her problems... or will it be the beginning of even more challenges.
My Thoughts
Daisy is an amusing and relatable character who finds herself in a bit of a love triangle, torn between two very different men. Her life has been turned on its head since she decided to renovate and live on the barge and life by Wildflower Lock is certainly eventful. Daisy has an impulsive and independent streak but she is learning to accept help from her friends and family.
I was sure I knew which choice I thought Daisy ought to make but I was never sure what she was going to do next. She is obviously talented as an artist but lacks confidence in her own abilities. She also struggles to trust people and at times, her communication seems to be lacking. There is plenty of scope for future stories in this series and I am looking forward to seeing what Daisy does next!
In short: An uplifting story with humour and romance.
