I couldn't get into this story or connect to the characters. The plot was not engaging and didn't hold my interest.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy

This is my first Belinda Jones book, but certainly not my last. I loved the idea of traveling the east coast, starting in Maine and heading through New England. Add in the mouth watering desserts and this turns into a book that cannot be put down.

Laurie is a saint. The drama she had to put up with between Pamela, Gracie, and of course Ravenna. It is never ending and very entertaining to the reader. Laurie and Gracie were amazing. They both were understanding, patient, and a little bit conniving. They force issues when needed and step back when they must. Pamela is a little bit of a diva. She is so talented with her baking that I think she loses touch sometimes with the “normal” person. Ravenna is a misunderstood, bratty teenager. She feels like she is being ignored by her mom so she acts out to get her attention.

While the traveling part is interesting, I loved more the relationships that were developed throughout the traveling. The relationship between mother and daughter is put to the test. Both, there are two, mother/daughter relationship were put to the test and came out stronger than they started. There are new friendships made and of course the blooming relationship and renewed relationship all make this a heartwarming tale.

The Traveling Tea Shop is a cute story of friendship, family, romance, and all things sweet. I certainly recommend this story to anyone looking for a relaxing read.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book. However, the file did not transfer well to my Kindle, and was so full of random gibberish and line numbers that it was physically impossible to read.
