Molly Hopkins has happily watched all of her friends’ dreams come true on Riverside Lane.

Deciding to follow her passion for baking, Molly with the help of her friends takes the plunge and opens a Tea Garden in the village hoping to make it a summer to remember!

Meanwhile, after a rather public end of his marriage, Logan Armstrong trusts no one but his beloved Grandad. He just wants his brief stay in Cranbridge to be as quiet as possible. But his Grandad has other ideas; he dreams of seeing the old watermill working again which might just mean Logan has to ask the village for help.

Can Molly finally overcome her lack of confidence and believe in her abilities to make the tea garden a success?

Will Logan discover that Molly might just be the one to mend his broken heart? And will both of them realise that life is for living and loving?

Over a long hot summer in Cranbridge, perhaps everyone’s dreams of a happy-ever-after can finally come true.

I am loving this series so much and this was another fabulous instalment. 

Mollie is a wonderful character, who has a great story arc over the course of the book.

She is always there for her friends and occasionally wonders if she is a bit of a doormat,  until an opportunity comes along that looks perfect for her, if she has the confidence to take it. 

Then there is Logan, a man incredibly talented with his hands,  and one who is happy to try to do anything to help his grandad out, even while he is generally trying to heal after a painful break up.

And how great it was to catch up with everyone from the previous 3 books. We get to see a lot from all the Cranbridge regulars. 

Not to mention lashings of cake,  a cosy feel to it, assorted other storyline that caught my attention. 

Was able to read this over two sunny afternoons in the garden and I can't think of a better way to have spent the time than curled up with a warm and loving book.

Was a sheer pleasure to read this, and I really hope this wasn't the last we have seen of Riverside Lane. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
