Escape To... The Cornish Bakery #5

Family Ties at the Cornish Bakery

Rate this book
Come & join us in beautiful Penworth Bay, Cornwall Volunteer at The Cornish Bay Bakery in exchange for a cosy room with views across the bay, new friends and the chance to explore the magical Cornish coast. In need of a change to your pace of life? Want to escape the pressures of work? Then contact Elsie today! When Lauren Burton turns up to The Cornish Bay Bakery there’s more on her mind than surprising her sister. She hopes taking a break by the scenic Cornish coast will give her the time and space to help her focus on her dreams for her future. When she is quickly welcomed into the warm heart of the bakery family, she wonders what took her so long to visit. With the winter sun shining and the sand between her toes, she realises she’s perfectly happy to be single and free of the drama of her past relationship. Running into cute firefighter, Charlie, Lauren battles with her newfound determination to stay single and begins to allow herself to wonder if she could find happiness in a relationship after all. Can their fledging romance cope when Lauren’s ex gets back in touch? Will a secret Charlie holds jeopardise Lauren’s hope of a happily ever after? With a bucketful of small town kindness, the promise of romance and enough sea air to blow away the most stubborn of cobwebs, join Lauren as she arrives in the beautiful Penworth Bay...

This is definitely a Cornish bakery book and this again reminds me why I love this series so much. One complaint I have about this series is the recurrence of same skeletal story structure. Even though they tried to be different in this book which is very surprising and nice but they are still basking in the same structure. The differences here in this book like both the lead characters were not doing their usual will they won't they dance for starters and the female lead already decided to stay in the bay after the volunteer work is finished to name a few, are enjoyable. Looking forward to such changes in the upcoming books

Another good read, as were the first four in this series. Although, I have noticed in a few of them, including this one, that the editor missed a few things that should be corrected. I think Lauren, one of the leads in this story, has been my favorite so far. I love how it includes the others from the previous books within the stories as they are going forward. I wish I could keep reading the series; it seems that Book 6 and those following after are unavailable on Amazon right now, and I've not found them anywhere else.

A book about how good things always come from bad situations & the importance of living for the moment. A great read. I cannot wait to read the hectic book in this series

The Cornish Bakery never fails to pull you back into the family and this book, number 5 in the series, is no different.

A of these books follow a very similar pattern, so you know what’ll happen, but they’re an easy read.

There were hints at Lauren’s artistry, but this wasn’t really followed up, which was a shame.

I love this series. I like how easy it is to read and how likeable the characters are. It’s a good escapist read that doesn’t require much thinking, and it really makes you feel as though you know the characters. It is a pleasure to read and makes me smile.
