A fresh start among old friends…

Florence May never expected to trade the high life of London for the cosy comfort of a beach hut in her Cornish hometown, but the moment she steps inside she knows it was the best choice she ever made. The fact that it comes with a requirement that she sets up a business on site? A minor setback that’s easily fixed by opening up a surfside outpost of her friend Clemmie’s Little Cornish Kitchen … where Floss finds herself unexpectedly flourishing.

And when the hotel owner next door sets out to buy the land out from under her? Floss calls on her loyal friends to help her save her little slice of heaven. Because if there’s one thing the community of St Aidan does well, it’s banding together to make the most of every second, whatever life throws at you.

It' is always a sheer joy to return to St Aidan, Cornwall in Jane Linfoot's novels and especially when there is a cafe involved. 

Florence May against her better judgment has ended up as an outpost of Clemmie's Cornish Kitchen, in her brand new beach hut that she can only live in, if its a business too. Florence bought the beach hut in order to lick her wounds and ideally be a hermit.

Instead she is thanks to the mermaids, her close friends, thrust into the centre of life in St Aidan.  There are flirtations, there is a fight to save the beach hut, and above all there are...

...desserts! 

This is a book for anyone with a sweet tooth. The connections Flossie comes up with had my mouth watering, and my stomach rumbling. They sounded delicious. 

Between catching up with familiar residents from previous books, to getting to know Flossie and her family better, as well as Kit, this is just a pleasurable read that I loved every moment of. 

It can easily be read as a standalone novel but the series is so good, why not read more than one. Jane Linfoot is a fabulous author and this is another entertaining book that really hit the spot for me. 

Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
