A gorgeous little addition to the Bridget’s Bicycle Bakery reads. It’s been lovely reconnecting with Bridget and her family and to see her continue to thrive in Mulberry On Sea has been wonderful

What a cute little revisit to this world of characters! I always enjoying seeing characters I know and enjoy and seeing where their lives have headed! I found this to be quite a jump from one book to the other, but a necessary step in the progress of their lives!

I was happy to see the bicycle aspect of deliveries was still around even though things with the business are changing! I love that the older members of the community are so valued and cared for!

Hoping there is more to come with these characters!

Thank you to NetGalley, Alex Brown, and One More Chapter for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!

Loved catching up with all the characters and residents of Mulberry on Sea from the first book in this series, just a shame it was a short story, as it all ended too quickly, looking forward to the next instalment

Bridget is hoping to expand her little bicycle bakery into a shop but will she be allowed. Can she finally settle and make a true home for herself and her children.

Having read the longer story that precedes this, I was so excited to catch up with Bridget again. This is a very short and sweet story but it just shows how things are for her since the first book ended. There is a little angst in the middle which was a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it. A fun summer short read.

A short story that follows up on Bridget's Bicycle Bakery.

It was nice to catch up with the characters and see what is happening now.

Mulberry On Sea is a quaint town with a lot of atmosphere. All the talk of bread and cake made me hungry.

I suppose it could be read as a standalone but you would be missing out on so much that it wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable..

A fun, quick and easy read..

Thanks to netgalley and One More Chapter for the arc.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

This is the second book in this series. It was so lovely to go back to Mulberry by sea, and catch up with the characters.

I loved the descriptions, which made you want to be there. The cakes made your mouth water.

I highly recommend this book.

We go back to Mulberry On Sea for further adventures and meeting old characters from previous books as well as new ones. This is a lovely series, this can be a standalone book but it helps to read the early ones so that you can know about the different characters. Well worth a good read and 5 stars.

Thanks to Negalley and publisher for this ARC

This is the second story in this series and I loved getting the chance to go back to Mulberry by sea. The descriptions are gorgeous and make you feel if not there then somewhere you would love to visit, add in the cakes and characters and you know you are on to a winner with this book.

Fantastic for a holiday read or just cosied up on your sofa, this is a book and a series you wont regret getting stuck into.

I loved getting to revisit Mulberry-on-the-Sea and see what the characters are up to now. I enjoyed the short story and hope there are more characters that might end up in this lovely town in a new series.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for advanced copy, and I give my review freely

Bridget decides to reopen an old, abandoned bakery in Mulberry-On-Sea, however things are as straightforward as she hopes.
You do need to read the previous book in the series, but this is a wonderful reminder of how much I enjoyed that previous book (and the ones before). The only problem is that the delicious food descriptions made me feel hungry all the way through. Definitely recommended.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book and I have already pre-ordered it on release.

Bridget a widow, and her two children are rebuilding their lives in Mulberry by the Sea, and that includes a sweet romance with Jack. She's been baking and delivering the sweets on her bicycle but now she's looking at going brick and mortar. This is a sweet and a bit sentimental story that could have (should have) been longer. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Looking forward to more.

What a sweet interlude this short story made, ideal for the beach or lazy day in the garden.
Bridget had outgrown her beach house bakery and is looking to move into an abandoned bakery in the village.
With the help of boyfriend Jack and her three children her dream may come true bu5there still is the problem of the missing freeholder.
A super satisfying sweet short read

Wonderful warm feel good short read!!!
Loved this latest from Alex Brown as a continuation of the Christmas short read book, of Bridget starting up her bicycle bakery business after losing everything and having to start again in her old home town in a tiny beach house lent by her in-laws.
This one continues Bridget’s story of building her bakery business and continuing being involved in her local community with her little family and dog!
Great holiday read!!
Thank you NetGalley and one more chapter for the early read! Loved it !!

It was a rainy day today and what better book to read than one that is about a holiday and a bakery. A quick and easy read and one that is nice, heart-warming, fun and tasty.

It was far too short and I would love more. But please read the other books in this series first to help you understand the characters. Look forward to more from this author.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a lovely little short story based in the Carringtons world and I absolutely loved it! It was lovely seeing what Bridget and Jack were up to again and it was like a big warm hug of a story!

The only observation I would make is I would have liked to have seen the problems with opening the bakery be a little more written into the story but I understand that for a short story that wasn't possible!

Highly recommend

Thank you netgalley & publishers for an early copy of this book in return of my honest opinion. This is a lovely, speedy, short story but with a lot of content. We find ourselves catching up with Bridget & her family who we met previously in a cosy Christmas at Bridget's Bicycle Bakery and although this catches up with the family today, this is written in such a way it can be read as a standalone story. I heartily recommend this book.
