The Gatehouse Cafe by K T Dady #Review #PepperBay

 

Castle on the Mead is the eleventh in the Pepper Bay series by K T Dady.

Welcome to Pepper Bay, where you’ll find love, drama, and a happily ever after.

Snuggle down with this cosy, feel-good, comfort read that whisks you away to a beautiful bay on the Isle of Wight – Perfect for fans of Christie Barlow, Alison Sherlock, Rachael Lucas, and Holly Martin.

The Pepper Bay books are standalone stories that intertwine with recurring characters. Best enjoyed when read in order.

The Gatehouse Café: Vivien leads a double life. A happy one the world sees, and a miserable one that’s hidden away. Nobody knows what goes on in her home once she has closed up the café for the day. She doesn’t think anyone will believe that her partner is a horrible person, especially as he is a policeman.

Finn has been secretly in love with Vivien since he was a teenager, but she’s only ever viewed him as a friend. When he discovers she’s in trouble at home, he does everything in his power to help set her free, because even if she never falls in love with him, she’s still his best friend, and she needs help.


 My Thoughts

This is a real love story. From the beginning, you sense that there is a special connection between  Vivien and Finn. You also realise that Vivien has a few dark secrets which she is hiding beneath the facade she shows to the world on a daily basis. As with all the stories in this series, the characters are easy to like and (with one obvious exception!) and you get to see the community rally around once more.

    This has been a great series and I am hoping to meet more new characters in a few more stories. There is certainly potential for more people to be featured.  It is an entertaining read, which carries you along and is perfect for a winter's weekend. The Isle of Wight is a lovely setting and you do find yourself rooting for the characters and hoping for that happy ever after.

In short: Can love find a way!
