Teacakes and Tamgos by Rosie Green #Review #LittleDuckPondCafeBook41

 

Welcome to Book 41 in the Little Duck Pond Cafe series! Teacakes and Tangos is the latest novella by Rosie Green.

 
Clara’s dance school is finally open, much to the excitement of the residents of Sunnybrook. The stress-busting, lights-off ‘Dancing in the Dark’ sessions are a big hit with the Little Duck Pond Café girls. But when the school is threatened with closure, will Clara’s dream be over before it’s even begun? Love is in the air for new recruit Anika, but could her dreams of romance be about to turn sour, too?

My Thoughts

In this latest visit to Sunnybrook, we take up Clara's story again as she prepares to open her long wished for Dance School. However, she begins to wonder whether her trusting nature has been abused as suspicion falls on her sisteras to her motives and doubts are raised in her engagement. You are willing her to sort out her personal life and take a stand  in a wish for the truth.

    The latest off shoot of the Little Duck Pond Cafe, The Little Duckling cafe opens at the Dance School and offers a lifeline to Anika who is at a crisis in her life. Her father lies in a coma after a heroic intervention in a recent robbery.  Life looks up for Anika as she meets up again with an ex- work colleague, Zander. However, doubts creep in for her a she is in for  a shock as some disturbing secrets are revealed. All the usual community feeling and friendships run through the story, enhancing the plot and tying it in to the whole series. As ever, this is a hopeful and warm story in a series which is a great addition to this mammoth series.

In short: love, friendship and secrets abound
