Title: The Cafe on the Coast
Can a cake change your life?
Clemmie Rose’s great-great-grandmother’s beloved clementine torte is her ticket to the prestigious Royal Baking Competition. A win could put Puffin Island’s charming Café on the Coast on the map, land Clemmie her very own cookbook deal, and secure her a coveted invitation to a royal garden party.
But when she discovers the competition is being hosted aboard the Royal Yacht by none other than her ex, Oliver Lockwood, the stakes – and the soufflés –suddenly rise, and Clemmie’s bid for the Golden Whisk trophy is at risk of collapsing like an underbaked sponge.
When a decades-old secret is thrown into the mix, she’ll need more than the perfect recipe to keep her dreams from crumbling.
Puffin Island is starting to feel like a second home to me, and I loved catching up with the residents of the island.
Especially enjoying getting to know Clemmie and grandma Betty a whole lot more, after Clemmie is nominated to take part in a Royal Baking contest on the Royal Yacht.
Only the man who is hosting the live TV show is Oliver, who she spent one week with a few years before, and then never saw again.
There is a rather intriguing prologue to this book, that does become rather relevant as the story progresses.
There is all sorts of mystery and scandal to be uncovered, while at the same time there is also cake, and tortes and baking and friendship and a whole of lot of really good things too.
This book could make you quite peckish while reading, so you have been warned.
I totally adored this story and am already looking forward to my next visit to Puffin Island.
Thank you to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
