Welcome to The Coastal Kettle, a sun-drenched seaside tearoom where friendship is brewed strong and secrets run deeper than anyone suspected...

When Belle's fiancé calls off their wedding just nine days before the ceremony, her carefully planned life crumbles. With nowhere else to turn, she flees to the south coast to stay with her beloved godmother Diana – only to discover that Diana has gifted Belle everything she has: a seaside house and a charming tearoom, The Coastal Kettle.

Starting over in the picturesque village of Spindrift Bay, Belle throws herself into renovating the tearoom and learning to bake. Between rescued kittens, new friendships and the kindness of locals like handsome vet Luke, she begins to heal. But when Belle uncovers a decades-old family secret hidden in the house, she faces an impossible choice: reveal the truth and risk destroying the lives of those she's grown to love, or keep a secret for the woman who gave her everything...

A heartwarming tale of found family, second chances and the courage to start again. Perfect for fans of Heidi Swain, Phillipa Ashley and Holly Martin.

For an author that has been going from strength to strength, and this being her best book yet, it is such a shame that she has passed away and the world won't get to experience any more Hannah Langdon novels after this one. 

But what a way to finish, this book has so much, hidden family secrets, cute adorable kittens, new friends, plenty of baking and some tricky relationships just to name a few. 

And Belle really is not given the best start in this book, she is dumped by her fiancée a few days before the wedding, most of the wedding admin is then forwarded to her to deal with, and when it's decided she should stay with Diane her godmother to start to rebuild her life, she discovers as she arrives in Spindrift Bay that her beloved godmother had died just hours earlier. 

As Belle comes to terms with everything, she starts to really blossom and it was a joy to see. She makes new friends (Gloria is wonderful),  and is determined to re-open the tearooms once she has learnt to bake! 

I thoroughly enjoyed every last word of this story which was a delight to read. 

Thank you to Storm and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
