I was invited by the publisher to review this book. This book is a part of an existing series, so while you do not need to have read the previous books to understand this one, you may be interested in starting from the beginning to get the whole vibe of the series. This was a charming read about Daisy who opens a cafe in the quaint town of Tuppenny Bridge. She has some issues in her past that have been left unresolved, but slowly she learns to prioritize herself and work through her issues. She eventually meets Noah, who becomes someone who helps anchor her and helps her heal - but, all is not as it seems with him, either. I loved going on Daisy's journey of healing and growth, and the romance between Daisy and Noah was sweet. The book appears to be "light" from the cover and description, but actually the author dives deeper into serious issues, and this is done well.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fantastic continuation to the Tuppenny Bridge series but with enough information about the characters in it to remind me of who’s who which I think would make it totally fine to read as a standalone. Although this is a very uplifting series this does have a particularly hard hitting storyline about domestic violence however I did think it was very well considered and definitely showed the mental impact, shame and what prevents victims from leaving etc. The two main characters were both really lovely people and I enjoyed reading both perspectives as well as catching up with the other characters from the series. Overall there are some challenging moments in this but I do think the author did a very good job of covering a difficult subject and there’s a good balance of positive moments too.

A lovely book set in fictional Tuppeny Bridge with lovely characters and a lovely settling that the book makes you see in your imagination .a nice read .
Book 5 in the series but good as a standalone as well .

Great to be back with the residents of Tuppenny Bridge. This book tells a story of Daisy who recently moved there and opened a wonderful cafe with her gorgeous home bakes.
Daisy loves to go on hiking walks it helps her to relax after a tumultuous past, one day she meets Noah the local headmaster on her hike and they strike up a great friendship but there’s a problem Noah is very much married. Daisy sees a side to Noah she recognises and learns he is troubled and carrying a grave secret.
They together become fowl to idle gossip with heartbreaking results.
Well written and love the village and how they look out for one another. Looking forward to further visits.

This is part of a series, and although it works as a standalone, it would help to know the back stories of the other characters. This one focuses on Noah and newcomer to town, Daisy. Although on the surface, it reads a bit like a cosy romance, there is more to this book. Hidden secrets and feelings of guilt are still resonant after an accident fifteen years ago. Domestic violence is an underlying theme, and without revealing too much, is handled very well and is quite thought provoking in this instance. The description of the scenery makes me want to visit this area, and I would like to read earlier books in the series. Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for copy to read and review.
