Title: Log Fires & Toffee Apple Cake at the Little Duck Pond CafeAuthor: Rosie GreenFormat reviewed: EbookSource: Author supplied copyPublisher: Self publishedPublication Date: 31st August 2020Rating: 5 Stars
Get set for a wonderful celebration of autumn with all your favourite characters at the Little Duck Pond Cafe!
An autumn fair is coming to Sunnybrook, much to the delight of the villagers. But for Madison, whose personal life seems to be spinning out of control, a roller-coaster is the last thing she needs – especially when it’s her emotions at stake.
Can she convince the delectable Jack that their relationship is worth another shot? Or has their romance ground to a permanent halt like a faulty big wheel? Will she solve the mystery of the missing name on her birth certificate? Or will her discoveries take her on a journey even bumpier than the dodgem cars? One thing’s for sure. Madison is going to need more than a fairground fortune teller to find the answers to her questions, if she’s going to ‘waltz-er’ into the happiest of sunsets…
How on earth are we on book 12 of this fabulous series already, and each book continually feels different and fresh, which must take a real skill from Rosie Green.
This time we have Madison as the main character, and it's about time we get to know her better. At the centre of this we have her wondering if she will ever get back together with Jack, having finally realised she needs to treat him better. And there is also the discovery of just who her dad is.
Which leads to amongst other things are rather amusing radio jingle and what Madison believes to be dog snorkelling (she was a letter out, but the real sort of snorkelling is just as entertaining).
Madison needs to learn how to be a better friend and family member in this story, and I loved seeing her journey of self discovery.
Even though this is the 12th book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone, we get a few chapters which are great for new readers, and possibly useful reminders for existing fans, of her story in Stonybrook so far, which covers her key moments from the previous books, so should be easy enough to dip into from here.
We do naturally get to catch up with the other Little Duck Pond Cafe girls, which includes a bit of drama, and continuations of all of their lives.
It's just another fabulous instalment in this incredibly pleasing series, I'm already looking forward to the festive additions for this year, and hope that Rosie Green can keep going with the Duck Pond Cafe girls for many years.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
