Tea Shop & Tearoom #5
Shed in the City
Hazel opens up a tearoom and bakery in Glasgow after splitting up with her boyfriend. But Hazel loves baking and is up for the challenge to make a fresh start on her own in the city.
The tearoom has a wild garden with a ramshackle shed. Hazel plans to tackle the garden in the spring. But Hazel's life never goes according to plan especially when it comes to romance.
Soon she meets August the gorgeous blond beemaster and handsome policeman, Officer Doyle. Then there's Kevin who can bake anything. In Hazel's world of chaos and cakes, how much trouble can one woman cause? Will Hazel end up dating the beemaster or will she tell him to buzz off?
Set in a beautiful tearoom and tea shop in Glasgow with gossips and cakes galore, there's only one thing for sure - there's no easy way to get rid of a garden gnome.

This book is utter nonsense and I love it for that. It’s a short story (with a number of grammatical errors and plot holes) but it’s a quirky, predictable read. Sometimes you just need something so glaringly uplifting and sunshine-y that you can’t be mad for all it’s faults. I love it, a trashy happy book is one of my guilty pleasures that I love to indulge in now and again; with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates. A real feel good!

Another heart warming story of love lost but new love found through friendship and a little bit of culinary magic!
I have to say though the real star of this one was the Gnome!!!
