The Cherry Tree Cafe - Heidi Swain

Lizzie Dixon’s life feels as though it’s fallen apart. Instead of the marriage proposal she was hoping for from her boyfriend, she is unceremoniously dumped, and her job is about to go the same way. So, there’s only one option: to go back home to the village she grew up in and to try to start again.

Her best friend Jemma is delighted Lizzie has come back home as she has just bought a little cafe and Lizzie’s sewing skills are just what she needs to help get it ready for the grand opening.

With a new venture and a new home, things are looking much brighter for Lizzie. But can she get over her broken heart, and will an old flame reignite a love from long ago…?

My Review

I am ashamed to say this is the first one of Heidi’s book I have read. I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get around to reading one. This was a mix of bake off and the great British sewing bee. Two of the best programs on tv, the one with Mary Berry of course!

I just wanted to keep reading this book, it was such a nice light read perfect for the summer. It had a great set of characters, although some bits were a bit predicable, there were some bits I had no idea were coming. The story was really good, it was very well thought out and the writing style was really good. You felt like part of the gang and part of the village.

The cover is beautiful and the title is very sweet, from these two facts alone, you know you won’t be disappointed.

I had to go out and buy the rest of her books and I cannot wait to dig in.

The Slow Lane Walkers Club - Rosa Temple

Buy Here This is my first book by Rosa Temple and it won't be my last. I was a bit unsure when I started it. However I loved it. Its not often I finish a book and end up hugging it because I loved it so much. The characters were great, Hazel is amazing. She reminds me of an old family friend who never gives up no matter what. Daniel is a kind lad who I think is slightly misunderstood when he arrives back in Cornwall. Their relationship is fantastic, one you can only dream about having with your grandmas friend. This book is one big giant hug and it's exactly what I needed at the time of reading. Once you start you dont want to stop. Best book of the year so far!

Mimic - Daniel Cole

Buy Here Having previously read Daniel coles books I was looking forward to this stand alone novel. It packs a punch right from the word go and it doesn't let up throughout the book. So many murders and so many what ifs.... And what an earths?! I liked Chambers and Winter as detectives and their relationship that they had. They never lost charm even if there was a 7 year break in the book for them. They picked up exactly where they left off. The book was very clever in the way that the murders took part. It was all a work if art. And don't worry if you are like me and aren't sure what they are there are paintings in the book to help you incase you cannot visual it. Great read.

Rock Paper Scissors - Alice Feeney

Buy Here This has to be one of the best books that I have read in a while. It really does have that, just one more chapter feel to it. I don't want to say too much as it will spoilt it and the blurb speaks for itself. I liked the characters in this book and it really does get you thinking. I actually had an 'omg what?!' moment with this book.. I had to go back an rethink everything I had read up until that point. If i had start this during the day I'm sure I would have finished it in one too. Really great read and cannot wait to read morw by this author.
