Review by Marlene Engel
The author begins with a little bit of backstory for those who may not have read the first book in the series, allowing this to be read as a stand-alone.
After a breakup and events leading up to a near financial ruin, mainlander Polly has relocated to the tiny Cornish town of Mount Polbearne off the coast of England. Life is starting to settle down as she enjoys days working at the bakery and nights at the lighthouse with her boyfriend and pet puffin. But when a new owner takes over the bakery, Polly finds herself in the middle of turmoil again. Turning her life upside down and forcing her to reevaluate life and make some difficult decisions.
Let�s be honest, who doesn�t like a book based around a bakery? The way the author describes some of the breads and other bakery items, I could practically taste them.
I truly enjoyed Polly. She came across some difficult times, but through it all she tackled the hurdles head-on and became a better person because of it. Some of the secondary characters also made for a more interesting read.
At times tense, other times sweet, this book has the perfect blend to make for a delicious springtime read!
